To examine the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of psychiatric patients with recurrent psychiatric readmissions (RPR).
A retrospective study was conducted at Hamad General Hospital in Qatar on psychiatric patients with recurrent readmissions from August 2018 to January 2019.
Of 380 psychiatric patients admitted during the study period, 40 (10.5%) were readmitted within 30 days of discharge. Most of the patients who were readmitted were single, male and unemployed. Psychotic spectrum disorder was the most frequent psychiatric condition and was diagnosed in 18 (45%) patients. A total of 30% of the patients were receiving treatment with anti-psychotics, and a similar number received more than one medication. Most patients showed poor or no compliance. Only 12.5% of patients stayed in the hospital for more than 5 weeks in their last admission during the study period.
Poor compliance, male sex and single status were the most common demographic and clinical features of patients with RPR. Post-discharge psychiatric care should be tailored to meet the requirements of patients prone to RPR.
研究复发性精神科再入院（RPR）患者的社会人口学和临床特征。
在卡塔尔的哈马德综合医院进行了一项回顾性研究，对 2018 年 8 月至 2019 年 1 月期间出院后 30 天内再次入院的精神科患者进行了研究。
在研究期间入院的 380 名精神科患者中，有 40 名（10.5%）在出院后 30 天内再次入院。大多数再次入院的患者是单身、男性和失业。精神分裂症谱系障碍是最常见的精神疾病，有 18 名（45%）患者被诊断出患有这种疾病。共有 30%的患者正在接受抗精神病药物治疗，有类似数量的患者服用了一种以上的药物。大多数患者表现出较差或无依从性。在研究期间的最后一次入院中，只有 12.5%的患者在医院停留超过 5 周。
依从性差、男性和单身是 RPR 患者最常见的人口统计学和临床特征。出院后的精神科护理应根据易发生 RPR 的患者的需求进行调整。
