But tomake this project real it is needed a complex sociosanitay support: psychosocial rehabilitation units, protected dwellings...and nowadays some people are still discharged to long term hospitals. The objective of this work is to demonstrate that clinical characteristics are not determinant and that the main reason that supports the decision is the insufficent social resources spread. Methods: 279 inpatients that entered a Psychosocial rehabilitation unit from January 2005 to April 2009 are selected. There are two comparison groups depending on the derivation to long term units. There are compared different variables taking the HoNOS scale as measurement tool. Ths stathistical comparison test used is the Fisher exact test.
