“…Results of the present study in a private setting are consistent with those of follow-up studies of inpatient services in public hospitals previously reported [3,5,6,11,12], despite the fact that methodological differences make direct comparison difficult. In these previous studies, follow-up time ranged from 0 to 6 months, and the method of contact at follow-up was interview in hospital [ 5 1 or mailed questionnaires after discharge [3,12].…”

This study is concerned with the service provided to adolescent patients with eating disorders admitted to a private hospital. The patients' parents were asked to evaluate the service. Parental satisfaction was assessed by means of a questionnaire devised for this purpose and comments were elicited as to how the service could be improved. Parents of a consecutive series of 56 patients were asked to complete the questionnaire 6 months after admission; 82% (N = 46) responded. Most parents were pleased with the service provided but nevertheless many made some criticisms (35%) or suggestions for improvement (37%). The parental responses were discussed with the staff involved in treatment, resulting in changes to the service.

Admission, discharge, and follow-up evaluations of 110 children admitted to a child psychiatric unit (mean 14 days) showed that the children's psychological functioning improved significantly during hospitalization. Gains were not fully maintained at follow-up (1 and 6 months), but the children were still significantly less impaired after discharge than at admission. A nonsignificant difference existed between follow-up scores, indicating no loss of progress or decline in functioning from 1- to 6-month follow-up. The results are consistent with an ABA (A = no inpatient intervention, B = inpatient intervention, A = no inpatient intervention) treatment effect. They are not explained by removal from and return to an unsatisfactory home environment. Psychological functioning after admission was significantly better than after 1 to 6 months of post-discharge psychiatric services. This study offers a clinically feasible approach to evidence-based practice by documenting patient improvement during and after inpatient treatment using a simple, empirically supported assessment instrument.
