Hospital or community living? Examining consumer perspectives on deinstitutionalization.

Abstract: While mental health consumers have begun to assess the effectiveness of services they receive, they have yet to be included in the formulation of policies that determine the services and service systems to be developed in the future. This report examines consumer perspectives on the major policy direction of the past 40 years, deinstitutionalization, finding that a vast majority of consumers express a preference for community over hospital living. This examination identifies a number of complexities involved i… Show more

“…Despite the thousands of pages that were written about deinstitutionalization over the preceding half century, little information could be found about the nature of the everyday life of the individual living with a serious mental illness in the community and the needs and challenges he or she might face in returning to the community after an extended stay in a hospital. 10 This initial study was thus conceptualized as exploratory in nature, with the aim of identifying differences between experiences inside and outside of the hospital setting, issues experienced during the transition from one setting to the other, and needs, challenges, and preferences that people had in either or both settings.…”

“…Ter-se-á assim que passar de uma prática na investigação em que os investigadores definem, e orientam, todo o processo para um processo de co-investigação entre profissionais e consumidores. É também necessário que os consumidores tenham não só uma voz na definição dos sistemas que visam satisfazer as suas necessidades, como também sejam consultados em todos os assuntos relacionados com a política de saúde mental (Davidson et al, 1996). Yeich et al (1994), consideram que existem várias estratégias em que os investigadores, os responsáveis por serviços sociais, os técnicos, e os grupos de defesa dos interesses dos consumidores se poderão apoiar como instrumento de pressão para documentar a falta de habitações acessíveis, e as situações de pobreza em que muitos desses consumidores se encontram.…”
