The present study analyzes course and predictors of physically aggressive behaviour over a 1-year follow up in a sample of patients discharged from a psychiatric inpatient unit. One hundred and eighty-six patients discharged from a locked short-term Psychiatric Inpatient Unit at the Bologna University Hospital. After discharge, two data collection contacts at 1 month and at 1 year were scheduled. In particular, psychiatrists, nurses, and other professionals were interviewed by the research staff using the Overt Aggression Scale. About 20 % of discharged patients showed physical aggressiveness in subsequent follow-up contacts. Risk factors for physical violence in the short-time period were social problems and a longer time from the first psychiatric contact. Living in residential facilities and physical aggressiveness during hospitalization were correlated to violence in the long-time period. Risk factors for physically violent behaviour differed in the short-term and long-term follow-ups; different causes of violent behaviour could be hypothesized.
本研究分析了在博洛尼亚大学医院的封闭短期精神科住院病房出院的患者样本中，1 年内身体攻击行为的过程和预测因素。186 名从博洛尼亚大学医院的封闭短期精神科住院病房出院的患者。出院后，计划在 1 个月和 1 年进行两次数据收集联系。特别是，研究人员使用 Overt Aggression Scale 对精神科医生、护士和其他专业人员进行了访谈。大约 20%的出院患者在随后的随访接触中表现出身体攻击性。短期身体暴力的风险因素是社会问题和从第一次精神科接触到的时间更长。住院期间住在住所和身体攻击性与长期暴力有关。短期和长期随访中身体暴力行为的风险因素不同；可以假设暴力行为的不同原因。
