Abstract:
The quality of life of chronically mentally ill patients in acute wards in a district general hospital, a hostel ward and group homes was compared. Within the spectrum of care of these patients, the severity of psychopathology corresponded to their placement. Analysis, including adjustments for the influence of psychopathology, showed differences between the three types of facility. Although differences existed between all types of care, residents in group homes and the hostel ward shared more similarities in quality of life than those in the district general hospital. Problems of caring for the chronically mentally ill on acute wards are highlighted.

Abstract:
BackgroundSmall group homes operating according to the principles of supported housing have, during the past five years, become a cornerstone of the housing services for the long-term mentally ill in Copenhagen.MethodDuring a 2.5-year period, 47 long-term mentally ill persons were examined at the time of entry to a group home programme. Residents' psychopathology, social integration, mastery and quality of life were measured by structured interviews, including the Present State Examination (PSE–10); and their social functioning was recorded by interview with the staff. Forty-four of the residents were re-examined at follow-up after a mean of 1.1 years using the same instruments. Data on hospitalisation were obtained through the Danish Psychiatric Case Register.ResultsEighty-three per cent of the residents remained in the programme during the first year. They showed a significant improvement in subjective quality of life, PSE total score, social integration, functioning and hospitalisation index. The number of reciprocal supportive contacts in the social network increased. Lower baseline PSE total score was associated with adherence to the programme, and the improvement in quality of life during their stay was predicted by reduction in symptoms and improvement in social integration.ConclusionsA rehabilitation strategy of supplementing standard psychiatric treatment with a programme of small supportive group homes improves the quality of life, psychosocial functioning and community tenure of the long-term mentally ill.

Abstract:
Background.During the last two decades, the change from custodial care provided by large institutions to community-focused services made considerable progress in Germany. However, nothing is known about how this is reflected in the public's acceptance of community psychiatry services.Methods.The study is based on data from two population surveys among German citizens aged 18 years and over, living in the ‘old’ German States. The first was conducted in 1990 (n = 3067), the second in 2011 (n = 2416). With the help of identical questions, respondents’ attitudes towards psychiatric units at general hospitals and group homes for mentally ill people were assessed.Results.While the proportion of the public that explicitly welcomed establishing psychiatric units at general hospitals and opening group homes for mentally ill people decreased, the proportion of those who reacted with indifference increased. The proportion of the German population that explicitly rejected the implementation of these services remained unchanged.Conclusions.While community psychiatry services expanded considerably over the last few years, the public's attitude towards them has not changed substantially.

Abstract:
The rehabilitation service for West Gloucestershire utilises a range of facilities to accommodate the long-term severely mentally ill. Group homes, supported lodgings, long-stay rehabilitation hostels and an inpatient slow stream rehabilitation ward provide increasing degrees of support according to levels of dependency. The findings of this study support the use of the Clifton Assessment Procedures for the Elderly Behaviour Rating Scale (CAPE BRS) as an aid to assessment of appropriate placement for the long-term severely mentally ill of all age groups in the community, both at the time of placement and to monitor ongoing need.

Abstract:
Oxfordshire is a pleasant, prosperous county dominated by the City where about one third of its 480,000 population lives. Oxford itself has nearly 15,000 students attending the University or Polytechnic. The active rehabilitation of long-stay patients was started in Oxford over 25 years ago, with the result that by 1986 there were only 40 non-dementing psychiatric-in-patients with a current admission of five or more years. This successful programme of rehabilitation, now virtually completed, was achieved by creating a wide range of sheltered work and other activities, and by the provision since 1963 of over 40 group homes and hostels by the Oxford Group Homes Organisation. However, many psychiatric illnesses still have a chronic and relapsing course; 65% of all admissions, aged 18 to 65 to the Oxford District mental illness units in 1982 and 1983, were readmissions. For those diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia the figure rises to 80%. In 1972 and 1973 Mann & Cree surveyed 400 ‘new’ long-stay patients (current admission one to five years, aged 18 to 65) in 15 hospitals in England and Wales. They found a rate of 25 per 100,000 population and concluded that for about one third continuing hospital care was the only realistic option. If the remainder were to leave hospital, hostels providing a high level of support would be needed. The recent 1982 survey of ‘new chronic’ in-patients in 14 Scottish psychiatric hospitals still showed a rate of 17.2 per 100,000 population, of whom only 38% were not thought to be in need of continuing hospital care.

Abstract:
For almost 20 years planning for the mentally ill and mentally handicapped has focused on a shift of care from hospital to community, the advantages and difficulties of this process generating much discussion and interest. The hospital population of the mentally handicapped is currently at the forefront of this change, planning impetus now being propelled by alterations in funding with budgets being transferred from NHS to local and social services. One consequence is the closure, or planned closure, of large mental handicap hospitals situated at the periphery of urban centres, with residents being moved to small group homes and hostels within the towns and cities the hospitals once served. The change should prove beneficial for a majority of residents although the process continues to generate debate.
