Day Hospital Follow-Up Study
Abstract
The aim of this study is to define
the annual means of relapses, hospitalisations
and the levels of functioning of the patients, who
had been admitted to Day Hospital (DH), prior to
the DH treatment and after the DH treatment till
a five year period and to explore the effects of
DH treatment on relaps, hospitalisation and
functioning. Method: Records of forty-one
schizophrenia patients, who had been admitted
to DH betvveen 1995-1998, were evaluated. The
vveighted annual means of relapses, hospitalisations
and levels of functioning prior and after DH
treatment have bee calculated and the efficacy
of DH treatment was explored by using these
variables. Results: The vveighted annual means
of relapses-hospitalisations and levels of functioning
before DH treatment were 0.58, 0.47,
47.95 respectively. The vveighted annual means
of relapses-hospitalisations and levels of functioning
after DH treatment were 0.17, 0.09,
56.05 respectively. Discussion: İt has been
observed that the relaps and hospitalisation
rates prior to DH treatment were higher than the
relaps and hospitalisation rates after DH treatment.
Levels of functioning of patients have
been found to be increased compared with the
revels of functioning prior to DH treatment.
