“…There are also reports in the literature which compare partial hospitalization programming to traditional outpatient therapy (Guy, Gross, Hogarty, & Dennis, 1969;Lamb, 1967;Linn, Caffey, Klett, Hogarty, & Lamb, 1979). These reports found that partial hospitalization programs were more effective than outpatient treatment in arresting, if not reversing to some extent, the deterioration in functioning of the chronically mentally ill. As a group, these reports make a strong case for day care types of partial hospitalization programming, particularly for the chronic schizophrenic population, in lieu of traditional outpatient medication clinics.…”

Partial hospitalization is the generic term for a broad and amorphous treatment modality. This paper describes and delineates the spectrum of partial hospitalization services and programs, presents a brief history of the theoretical and practical development of partial hospitalization programming, and reviews the literature on partial hospitalization with respect to its efficacy, cost, and future trends.

The present study investigated the efficacy of a 3-year psychiatric daycare (DC) program with regard to psychiatric symptoms and difficulties with daily living experienced by patients with schizophrenia. The subjects were 28 patients who met the diagnostic criteria from the 4th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for schizophrenia and continued DC treatment for 3 years. The present study assessed participants at two points: at the start of DC and after 3 years, by evaluating socioeconomic factors and Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) scores. In addition, in order to measure difficulties with daily living, the Life Assessment Scale for the Mentally Ill (LASMI) and the Etoh Daycare Assessment Scale (ETODAS) developed at the Etoh Hospital, were used. Results indicated that no significant changes in socioeconomic factors or BPRS scores occurred during the 3-year period of DC treatment. However, over this period, mean scores ( ± standard deviation [SD]) for LASMI subcategories decreased from 1.6 ± 0.8 points to 0.9 ± 0.7 for daily living and from 1.7 ± 0.8 to 1.2 ± 0.7 for interpersonal relations, indicating significant improvement ( P < 0.05). In addition, mean scores ( ± SD) for the ETODAS subcategories increased from 3.4 ± 0.8 to 4.1 ± 0.8 for expressiveness, from 3.3 ± 0.9 to 4.0 ± 0.8 for communication, from 3.1 ± 0.6 to 3.6 ± 1.0 for initiative within a group, and from 3.4 ± 0.5 to 3.8 ± 0.7 for cooperation in work activities, indicating significant improvement ( P < 0.05). The present study suggests that DC can enable patients with schizophrenia to maintain their condition without worsening the psychiatric symptoms, and to improve their daily living skills, social skills in human relations, and work skills.

“…Specifically, while patients diagnosed as having functional psychoses demonstrated some posttreatment improvement, they improved less than patients in other categories. Previous research (2,10) has shown that schizophrenics treated in a day centre improved less than schizophrenics treated in an inpatient service, but more than those treated in an outpatient centre. Thus, it could be argued that psychotic patients will benefit most from a protective environment which limits the level of stress created by interpersonal encounters and the demands of family and community (10).…”

The present study examined characteristics of comparable samples of patients admitted to nonaffiliated day and full-time psychiatric hospitals. Moreover, the influence of the day hospital program on symptomatology and social functioning was assessed. In general, the results indicated that day patients were of higher socioeconomic status and had fewer previous hospitalizations in comparison to 24-hour patients. While fewer day patients were diagnosed as psychotic, they did obtain higher scores of social inadequacy, depression and social introversion. Participation in the day hospital program was generally found to be related to decreased psychopathology, increased self-esteem and social role activities, and symptom relief. However, patients suffering from functional psychoses were found to demonstrate improvement below the average of the patient sample. These results were discussed in relation to previous research.
