This article analyzes the relationship between per capita expenditure and financial and macroeconomic variables in the framework of mental health, in regions where the prevailing system is public healthcare governed by the state and in regions where the prevailing system is that of public ownership. The period 2006-2017 was analyzed. A simple linear regression analysis was carried out to determine the relationship between the expenditure per inhabitant and a series of relevant variables such as asset turnover, cash flow, and expenditure as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), applying statistical tests to validate the study. In regions where public-private co-financing prevails in the health system, two crucial variables to measure per capita expenditure on mental health were GDP per capita and cash flow of mental health providers. In the regions where management is direct, the crucial variables were asset turnover of mental health providers and expenditure on mental health as a percentage of GDP per capita. These elements are key to determining how to develop public investment policies in hospital systems in the different regions of Europe and the world.
本文在心理健康框架内分析了人均支出与金融和宏观经济变量之间的关系，涉及的地区有：以公有制为主体的、实行国家主导的公共医疗保健制度的地区，以及以公私合营为主要筹资模式的地区。本研究分析了 2006 年至 2017 年的数据。采用简单线性回归分析方法，确定了人均支出与一系列相关变量（如资产周转率、现金流量以及支出占国内生产总值（GDP）的百分比）之间的关系，并应用统计检验来验证研究结果。在公私合营筹资模式盛行的卫生系统地区，衡量精神卫生方面人均支出的两个关键变量是人均国内生产总值和精神卫生提供者的现金流量。在直接管理的地区，关键变量是精神卫生提供者的资产周转率和精神卫生支出占人均国内生产总值的百分比。这些要素对于确定如何在欧洲和世界不同地区的医院系统中制定公共投资政策至关重要。
