Abstract

Of 228 homeless, severely persistently mentally ill clients admitted within a 5 1/2 year period to a transitional residential program, 179 (79%) remained in contact with staff for at least one year post-discharge. Housing was maintained by 141 (78%) of the clients for at least one year. Entitlements increased from admission, to discharge, to one year post-discharge. Clients maintaining contact for at least one year post-discharge were likely to have participated in two or more day treatment programs during residence. Success of the Program may be partly attributed to the staff's vigilance in maintaining post-discharge client contact.

摘要

在5年半的时间里，有228名无家可归的重度慢性精神病患者被收治到一个过渡性居住项目中，其中179人（79%）在出院后至少与工作人员保持了一年的联系。141名（78%）患者至少维持了一年的住房。从入院到出院再到出院后一年，患者的福利有所增加。出院后至少保持一年联系的患者在居住期间可能参加了两个或更多的日间治疗项目。该项目的成功可能部分归功于工作人员在出院后对患者保持联系的警惕性。
