Seventy-seven state psychiatric hospital patients were interviewed six months following discharge in order to examine the relationship between a set of client variables and community length of stay (CLOS), but with a measure of client-perceived general well-being included as a possible mediator of relationships. A study of the relationship between CLOS and general well-being, using hierarchical regression analysis and path analysis, was expected to provide a more complete picture of client community functioning. Results demonstrated a strong relationship between CLOS and general well-being and, also, a number of measures predictive of community success related to CLOS only through general well-being. These findings indicated the importance of considering how clients perceive their general well-being in optimizing chances for community success.
为了研究一组客户变量与社区停留时间（CLOS）之间的关系，研究人员在出院六个月后对77名州立精神病院患者进行了访谈，同时将客户感知的总体幸福感作为关系的一个可能中介变量纳入研究。预计通过分层回归分析和路径分析对CLOS与总体幸福感之间关系的研究，将更全面地了解客户在社区中的功能状况。结果表明，CLOS与总体幸福感之间存在密切关系，而且一些预测社区成功的指标仅通过总体幸福感与CLOS相关。这些发现表明，在优化社区成功机会时，考虑客户如何看待他们的总体幸福感非常重要。
