The article describes the outcome of a comparative study of home care, by a trained nurse, versus hospital out-patient supervision in the management of chronic psychiatric patients in Bangalore, India. Twenty-five patients, with a mean duration of illness of nine years, were started on the home care programme while a matched control group of 25 similar patients continued the regular out-patient contact offered by the hospital. Comparative assessments were carried out on the groups at the time of intake and again after two years. The results indicate that hospital admission was less often needed among the home care group.
本文描述了在印度班加罗尔，由一名经过培训的护士进行的家庭护理与医院门诊监护对慢性精神病患者管理的对比研究结果。25名平均患病时长为9年的患者开始接受家庭护理项目，而25名匹配的类似患者组成的对照组继续接受医院提供的常规门诊治疗。在入院时和两年后对两组进行了对比评估。结果表明，家庭护理组患者需要住院治疗的情况较少。
