“…Many previous studies have emphasized personal attributes that are related to psychiatric readmission such as sex, diagnosis, marital status, work status, substance use, illness severity, number of hospitalizations, and length of stay (Appleby et al, 1993;Mojtabai et al, 1997;Polk-Walker et al, 1993;Postrado and Lehman, 1995). Heggestad (2001) examined systemic factors including hospital operating conditions such as staffing and census and found that rapid turnover and reduced staffing levels were associated with an increased risk for readmission.…”

The current study examined the association between number of hours attended of the Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) program and psychiatric readmission rates after discharge from a state psychiatric hospital. The study used archival data, N = 1186, from a large northeastern state psychiatric hospital in the United States. A Cox's regression survival analyses was conducted, adjusting for extreme outliers and controlling for sociodemographic covariates, to examine the association between different amounts of IMR and the risk for returning to the hospital. After controlling for the client characteristics of age, sex, marital status, psychiatric diagnosis, and Global Assessment of Functioning score at discharge, as well as controlling for mean daily dose of generic hospital programming and the number of days of hospitalization, it was found that, for each hour of IMR, there was an associated 1.1% reduction in the risk for returning to the hospital. This suggests that participation in IMR while in inpatient settings may assist individuals in reducing their risk for returning to the hospital.

“…Finally, readmission may reflect the quality of community services or support (15,16). Prevention of readmission is likely the responsibility of the community care provider rather than the psychiatric hospital once the psychiatric hospital has organized an initial aftercare plan in collaboration with the community provider.…”

“…Walker et al (1996), in a study of patient compliance, determined that noncompliance with outpatient appointments after discharge was a significant risk for patient rehospitalization. Another study that examined psychiatric recidivism prediction factors determined that patients with no readmissions were more frequently compliant with their medication and treatment regimen (Polk-Walker et al, 1993). Lack of psychometric data of the NRPDA is another limitation that tempers all findings.…”

BACKGROUND: Because of the increasing demands in the mental health care environment, providers are called upon to demonstrate the efficacy of treatment. Few studies have examined the relationship between symptoms at admission and level of functioning, involvement in treatment, and rehospitalization rates. OBJECTIVES: The purposes of this study were to: (a) examine the relationship between symptoms at admission, level of functioning, and exposure to activities for inpatients with depression and anxiety disorders; and (b) examine the association between inpatient exposure to activities and rehospitalization rates. DESIGN: This study was a secondary analysis of a nonprobability convenience sampling of 67 patients, ages 18 to 80 years, who were admitted to an inpatient psychiatric unit. The Global Assessment Scale and Beck Depression Inventory were used to assess functioning and symptoms. The Nursing Record of Patient Daily Activities was used to record patient activities. RESULTS: Global Assessment Scores at time of admission were positively related to independent patient activities. Readmitted patients were more likely to have a diagnosis of depression and be taking anxiolytics at the time of admission. CONCLUSIONS: More studies are needed to examine the relationship between admission and posthospitalization symptoms, level of functioning in patients, and treatment components to ascertain which aspects of treatment are most effective for patients with specific symptoms, levels of functioning, and diagnoses. Patients’ symptoms and level of functioning at the time of admission should help guide the development of appropriate treatment plans.
