We conducted a study on alcohol consumption habits in the five therapeutic homes for the mentally ill in Mannheim. Through assessment by their case managers we obtained data from 136 residents. Frequent alcohol use is currently reported in 12.5%. This group of frequent alcohol users is characterized by a higher proportion of men, higher age at entry into the institution and a lower dosage of neuroleptic medication. No significant relation is found with regard to the age at onset of disease, the rehospitalisation rate and the general life satisfaction. Severe problems through alcohol use are seen only isolated but in all clients with an earlier diagnosis of alcohol abuse. According to our results alcohol abuse in therapeutic homes is reported less frequently than in other populations of chronic mentally ill clients. It might be suspected that mentally ill patients with additional alcohol problems are not adequately provided with housing in the complementary care system. Verification is needed whether through the development of specific offers this deficit can be regressed.
我们对曼海姆五家精神病治疗机构中患者的饮酒习惯进行了一项研究。通过其个案管理人员的评估，我们获取了136名住院患者的数据。目前报告称有12.5%的患者经常饮酒。这组经常饮酒的患者具有男性比例较高、入院年龄较大以及抗精神病药物剂量较低的特点。在发病年龄、再次住院率和总体生活满意度方面未发现显著关联。仅个别患者因饮酒出现严重问题，但所有这些患者均较早被诊断为酒精滥用。根据我们的研究结果，治疗机构中酒精滥用的报告频率低于其他慢性精神病患者群体。可能有人怀疑，在补充护理系统中，有额外酒精问题的精神病患者没有得到足够的住房保障。需要验证是否通过制定特定的服务项目可以弥补这一不足。
