Abstract

The literature on accidental and violetn minor injuries in hospitals is reviewed. From it hypotheses about the causes and correlates of such accidents are derived. These theories are tested on a 2-year sample of accidents in a 2,400-patient mental hospital, using standard multivariate statistical procedures. Age, psychiatric disability, and sex prove to be correlates of rates of injury. Social disorganization is shown to be the intervening variable in the common theory that crowding leads to violent injury.

摘要

本文对医院中意外及暴力轻伤的文献进行了综述。从中得出了关于此类事故原因及相关因素的假设。这些理论在一家拥有2400名患者的精神病医院中，以两年内的事故样本为基础，采用标准多元统计程序进行了检验。结果表明，年龄、精神残疾和性别与受伤率相关。社会失序被证明是拥挤导致暴力伤害这一普遍理论中的中介变量。
