    Patterns of aftercare for psychiatric patients discharged after short inpatient treatment (1992)

    Notes: Summary This is the first of a series of papers presenting the results of an Italian collaborative study on psychiatric inpatient service utilisation. Patterns of care of a large sample of patients discharged after short inpatient treatment are discussed in the light of the changes introduced by the 1978 Mental Health Act in the Italian psychiatric care delivery system. Three closely related issues are considered: a) use of psychiatric hospitalisation, b) relationships between inpatient and community treatment before and after an admission episode, c) continuity of care. The main findings are: 1) great variability between services suggests that local factors play an important role in determining the contents of care in Italian post-reform psychiatry. 2) The relationship between inpatient and community services is complex, partial integration being the most common picture. 3) Psychiatric hospitalisation is the entry point into the care system for a sizeable group of patients.4) Continuity of care is achieved for half the patients, mostly with diagnoses of severe mental disorders. 5) Subjects with a recent history of revolving door behaviour or a past history of mental hospital admission show the highest likelihood of remaining in community care following discharge.

    Outcome of discharged psychiatric patients after short inpatient treatment: an Italian collaborative study (1992)

    Notes: Summary This paper presents the results of an Italian multicentre study on the 6-month outcome of psychiatric patients discharged after short-term in-patient treatment from 21 general hospital psychiatric units. Two outcome measures were used: relapses (defined as readmissions for psychiatric treatment or suicide) and community tenure. The data showed, on average, a fairly high relapse rate (43% in 6 months) combined with a good community tenure. The findings are discussed in the light of the heterogeneity in patterns of care provision observed in Italian psychiatric services after the changes introduced by the 1978 Mental Health Act, reported in a previous paper.

    Epidemiology of psychiatric care of patients with severe mental disorders in Italy (1997)
    Springer
    Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology 32 (1997), S. 298-302

    Notes: Abstract The rationale and design of a large, multicentre, prospective follow-up study on the outcome of severe mental disorders is presented. The study is currently under way in Italy, where psychiatric care has been uniquely characterised since 1978 by the statutory prohibition of admitting patients to psychiatric hospitals. The main purpose of the study is to describe the 5-year outcome of patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, paranoid disorder, affective psychosis, reactive psychosis or personality disorder with respect to five areas (clinical condition, personal autonomy, work, and family and social relationships); a secondary objective is to describe the heterogeneity of practices and resources of psychiatric services. The study is being carried out by 76 outpatient psychiatric services throughout the country, covering approximately onetenth of the Italian population.
