Voluntary and involuntary psychiatric inpatients were compared on demographic, social and clinical characteristics. Chi-squared tests of independence revealed significant differences in age and financial support based on status at admission. No significant differences were found with respect to diagnostic category. It was concluded that demographic, social and clinical characteristics do not clearly discriminate between voluntary and involuntary inpatients.
对自愿和非自愿住院的精神科患者的人口统计学、社会和临床特征进行了比较。独立性卡方检验显示,根据入院时的状态,年龄和经济支持存在显著差异。在诊断类别方面未发现显著差异。得出的结论是,人口统计学、社会和临床特征并不能明确区分自愿和非自愿住院患者。
