The work of a community psychiatric nursing service for acute psychiatric conditions was reviewed for the period 1980-82. Five community psychiatric nurses operated in 10 health centres. General practitioners were the most frequent users of the service and a wide range of psychiatric problems were encountered. The age structure of all referrals was found to be significantly related to sex, with the proportion of females in all age groups at least twice that for males. The most frequent reason for referral was mood/affect disturbance; female patients referred for the first time were predominant. Over half of all problems resolved within three months of referral and a limited number of patients were sent for further psychiatric investigation.
对1980 - 1982年期间一家针对急性精神疾病的社区精神科护理服务工作进行了回顾。五名社区精神科护士在10个健康中心开展工作。全科医生是该服务最频繁的使用者，遇到了各种各样的精神问题。发现所有转诊患者的年龄结构与性别显著相关，各年龄组女性的比例至少是男性的两倍。转诊的最常见原因是情绪/情感障碍；首次转诊的女性患者占主导。超过一半的问题在转诊后三个月内得到解决，只有少数患者被送去进一步的精神科检查。
