Consecutive patient failures in an emergency residential alternative to psychiatric hospitalization are studied. Failure is defined as transfer from the alternative program to hospital inpatient care. Discriminant function analysis is employed to differentiate the failures from a sample of patients who were maintained and treated in the alternative program. The perceptions of the emergency housing program staff about the failures augment quantified results. Findings suggest that the failures can be distinguished from the comparison group. A variety of drug abuse and medication noncompliance problems are the strongest predictors of failure. Practice implications are discussed.
对作为精神病住院替代方案的紧急住院治疗中连续出现的患者治疗失败情况进行了研究。治疗失败定义为从替代方案转至医院住院治疗。采用判别函数分析将治疗失败患者与在替代方案中得到维持治疗的患者样本区分开来。紧急住房项目工作人员对治疗失败患者的看法补充了量化结果。研究结果表明，可以将治疗失败患者与对照组区分开来。各种药物滥用和用药依从性问题是治疗失败最强的预测因素。讨论了对实践的启示。
