[Prevention of rehospitalization of schizophrenic patients with a protracted course at the stage of industrial rehabilitation].

Two-year-long examination of 183 schizophrenic patients with a lingering course of the disease receiving active rehabilitation in individualized conditions of an ordinary industry (the basic group) were carried out. The examinations have shown that prophylaxis of re-hospitalizations is effective, if the organizational structure of the industrial rehabilitation is well designed. The principal role in the re-hospitalization prophylaxis belongs to the schemes of observation and rehabilitation based on correct evaluation of the variants of remissions, polyexogenia and periods of the patients' adaptation to the environment. The forms and methods of the re-hospitalization prophylaxis offered have made it possible to reduce tow times the number of re-hospitalized patients, as compared with 110 patients of the control group.
