Recently day care facilities are available for psychogeriatric patients. With a national survey we tried to get insight into how and where in 1979 the day care facilities for psychogeriatric patients in The Netherlands were functioning. The data collected revealed that this type of care is yet only on a small scale -- and not evenly spread out over the country -- available. The ratio of nursing home beds and of day-care places per thousand of the population of 65 years and older varies from province to province. A description is given of the organization of the day-care facility, the staffing and the coordination of the treatment offered. About half of the patients who finished the day-treatment in 1979 after a period of five to six months of care, were admitted to an intramural health service. We have tried to find reasons for this. Poor contact between the staff of the day-care facility and others like the general practitioner and the social psychogeriatric outpatient service might be a reason, the capacity of nursing home beds another.
最近，为老年精神病患者提供了日托设施。通过一项全国性调查，我们试图了解1979年荷兰老年精神病患者日托设施的运作方式和地点。收集到的数据显示，这类护理目前规模尚小，且在全国分布不均。每千名65岁及以上人口的养老院床位和日托场所比例因省份而异。文中描述了日托设施的组织、人员配备以及所提供治疗的协调情况。1979年，约一半在接受了五到六个月护理后完成日间治疗的患者被收治到住院医疗服务机构。我们试图找出其中的原因。日托设施工作人员与全科医生和社会老年精神病门诊服务等其他人员之间缺乏良好沟通可能是一个原因，养老院床位容量则是另一个原因。
