Based on an empirical study in Berlin, we will attempt to answer the question of whether centers for ambulant health and social services provide adequate care for old people who are mentally disturbed. It is shown that this special group of patients already amounts to more than 40% of the services' clients. Although the client is usually referred to the center because of physical illness, psychological problems will have to be taken into consideration by the nurse. This is already happening in part, and it is possible to discriminate special psychogeriatric categories of care. As a rule, however, the quality and quantity of care given are not sufficient. In a pilot study, positive effects have been achieved by recruiting specialized staff. Additionally, cooperation with other services, concerning the psychological problems of the patient, should be improved.
基于在柏林的一项实证研究，我们将尝试回答流动健康和社会服务中心是否为精神错乱的老年人提供了足够护理这一问题。结果显示，这类特殊患者群体已占该服务机构客户的40%以上。尽管客户通常因身体疾病被转介到该中心，但护士必须考虑到心理问题。目前这在一定程度上已经在发生，并且有可能区分出特殊的老年精神病护理类别。然而，通常情况下，所提供护理的质量和数量并不足够。在一项试点研究中，通过招募专业工作人员已经取得了积极效果。此外，在患者心理问题方面，与其他服务机构的合作也应得到加强。
