    Notes: Summary The concepts of relatives of patients suffering from functional psychoses regarding the causes of the illness were investigated using the same methodological approach as with the patients. Relatives, like patients, favoured psychosocial over biological explanations. However, when compared pairwise the concordance between relatives and patients was very low. Some methodological refinements recommended for further research are proposed.

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary Patients' concepts of the causes of their functional psychoses were investigated by means of an open-ended question and a 30-item checklist. While patients, like professional experts, endorsed a multifactorial aetiological concept, they clearly favoured psychosocial explanations over biological ones. There was some variation according to diagnosis, with schizophrenic patients tending to attribute the development of their illness more often to esoteric influences or to their family environment and patients with affective psychoses assuming biological factors or psychosocial stress to be the cause of their illness. The aetiological concepts did not vary with the duration of illness. Our findings do not support the “psychological mindedness” hypothesis, which postulates that there is a greater inclination to adopt psychological explanations among women, younger people, the better educated or people from urban areas as compared with men, older people, the less educated or people from rural areas.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Untersuchung konzentriert sich auf die Beziehung zwischen ökologischen Faktoren und der Dauer des Verbleibs in der Gemeinde bei Patienten mit funktionellen psychotischen Erkrankungen. Zugrunde liegen Daten aus den Basisdokumentationen dreier psychiatrischer Krankenhäuser in der Stadt Hamburg. In der Auswertung wird der Einfluß zweier Variablengruppen kontrolliert: Soziodemographische Variablen und Variablen, die sich auf den letzten stationären Aufenthalt beziehen. Letztere können die Variation der Wiederaufnahmerate zu einem gewissen Teil erklären, soziodemographische Variablen nur wenig und ökologische Variablen so gut wie gar nicht. Dieses Ergebnis wird hinsichtlich der methodischen Begrenzungen der Untersuchung diskutiert. Die inhaltliche Diskussion verfolgt zwei Erklärungsansätze: a) Gleiche Wiederaufnahmeraten können durch unterschiedliche Konstellationen ökologischer Faktoren bedingt sein und b) Patienten, die aus dem psychiatrischen Krankenhaus in die Gemeinde zurückkehren, sind möglicherweise für die Wirkungen ökologischer Faktoren relativ unempfanglich.
    Notes: Summary The present study investigates the relationship between ecological factors and the community tenure patients with functional psychoses. Data were gathered from the records of three psychiatric hospitals in the city of Hamburg. The analysis controls for the effects of sociodemographic variables and variables pertaining to the last inpatient treatment. Variations in readmission rates can be explained by the latter to a certain extent, but only poorly by sociodemographic variables and hardly at all by ecological factors. These findings are discussed with respect to the methodological limitations of the study and as substantive results. Two lines of interpretation are offered. Firstly, equal readmission rates may have been caused by different sets of ecological factors; secondly, patients released from mental hospital may be relatively insusceptible to the impact of ecological factors.
