目的:本文的目的是描述一个专家计划,在精神科母婴单位和审查的特点(包括母亲的技能)和结果出院的36名妇女连续入住该单位在一个密集的6个月的观察期。还比较了10年来同一单位入学人数的变化。方法:在人口统计学、种族、诊断、精神病史、精神病信息和母婴数据方面对连续入院进行了研究。结果如下:大多数入院的妇女患有精神分裂症或其他精神病,第二大诊断标准是抑郁症。对于20位母亲来说,这是第一次精神病入院,大多数入院是自愿的。平均住院时间为21.7天,与过去10年在同一单位的住院时间相比,住院时间显著减少。57%的妇女的育儿技能被认为是不称职的或只能及格。出院时情况略有改善,大多数妇女没有与婴儿分开。结论:强调了长期支持这些妇女及其婴儿的迫切需要,并建议提供门诊和日间方案以及支助性住宿。
Objective: The aim of this paper is to describe a specialist program in a psychiatric mother-baby unit and to review the characteristics (including mothering skills) and outcomes on discharge of 36 women consecutively admitted to the unit over an intensive 6-month observation period. Changes in admissions to the same unit over 10 years were also compared. Method: Consecutive admissions were studied in terms of demographics, ethnicity, diagnosis, psychiatric history, psychiatric information and mother-infant data. Results: The majority of women admitted suffered from schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders, with the second largest diagnostic criteria being depression. For 20 mothers, this was the first psychiatric admission and most admissions were voluntary. The mean length of stay was 21.7 days, representing a highly significant decrease in stay when compared to the past 10 years in the same unit. Mothering skills were found to be incompetent or only passable in 57% of women. A small improvement occurred by discharge, and the majority of women were not separated from their infants. Conclusions: The critical need to support these women and their infants in the long term was highlighted, with recommendations of outpatient and day programs, as well as supported accommodation.
