P-1318 - Determinants of the « revolving door » syndrom in tunisian population of patients with schizophrenia

Abstract

Revolving Door Syndrome usually corresponds to what might be called "hospital multiple readmissions phenomenon". Beyond consequences to the patients and their families, frequent re-readmissions also heavily increase healthcare cost and cause burn out among medical and paramedical staff. The objective of this study was to find the characteristics of Tunisian patients with "revolving door" syndrome. The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated to short-term readmissions in a sample of Tunisian patients with schizophrenia.
