在一项研究中，为了确定在农村和城市地区出院的州立医院病人的护理连续性方面的差异，弗吉尼亚州的所有社区精神卫生中心都被要求完成一份关于1992财政年度出院的每个病人的简短问卷。出院到农村中心在连续性的五个维度中的四个维度上具有显著更高的护理连续性水平。作者推测，农村中心较低的人员比例和较少的角色界限可能使它们比城市中心更能执行帮助出院患者恢复社区生活所需的各种任务。
In a study to determine differences in continuity of care for state hospital patients discharged to rural and urban areas, all community mental health centers in Virginia were asked to complete a brief questionnaire about each patient discharged to the centers in fiscal year 1992. Discharges to rural centers had significantly higher levels of continuity of care on four of five dimensions of continuity. The authors conjecture that rural centers' lower staff ratios and decreased role boundaries may make them better able than urban centers to carry out the diverse tasks needed to help discharged patients resume community living.
