Some factors relating to satisfactory post-discharge community maintenance of chronic psychotic patients.

M L Fernando1, V R Velamoor, A J Cooper, Z Cernovsky.   

Abstract

The length of time a group of 70 psychiatric patients could be maintained in the community following discharge from a provincial hospital was found to be significantly related to post-discharge compliance with medication and to the level of discharge planning (well planned versus unplanned, or patient prematurely self-discharged against medical advice). Various demographic and clinical variables were unrelated to the length of post-discharge survival in the community.
