O monitoramento das inclusões residenciais em Psiquiatria: resultados preliminares da atividade da unidade de monitoramento e planejamento clínico

Introduction: Planning and Monitoring Unit Clinical (UMPC) has clinical epidemiological purposes, but mainly for evaluating and improving the quality of service. Objective: To describe the journeys of patients to residential care for mental health services. Method: The routes were analyzed from twopoints of view: based on the management structure and the type of intervention (these two criteria were intertwined) and based on the type of structure. 213 patients were followed. The first analysis of pathways was performed considering the residential subdivision of the Department offer residentialbased management and intervention. Results: A significant number of these patients remains inserted for several years, it can be stated that the rehabilitative program running inside the supporting structures, allow improving or at least maintaining the autonomy acquired. Conclusion: The fact thatthere are numerous passages of protected structures, administered by the Department, the support structures, such as groups of Apartment, the Accommodation Support, indicates a good capacity of rehabilitation programs, working in the community, to prepare patients to new projects characterized bygreater autonomy and personal independence.Descriptors: Psychosocial rehabilitation; Autonomy; Health Services

Involuntary admissions in Italy: the impact of seasonality

Abstract Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of involuntary admissions with regard to seasonality and clinical associated features, in a sample of patients admitted to a psychiatric unit in a period of 24 months. Methods: All subjects consecutively admitted to the Psychiatric Inpatient Unit of the San Luigi Gonzaga Hospital, Orbassano (University of Turin, Italy) from September 2013 to August 2015 were recruited. Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics were collected. Results: Seven hundred and thirty admissions in psychiatric ward were recognized. The prevalence of involuntary admission was 15.4%. Patients with involuntary hospitalizations showed a higher education level, a higher prevalence of admission in spring/summer with a significant peak in June, a longer duration of hospitalization and a lower suicide ideation. Among involuntary admissions, physical restraint and suicide attempts were more prevalent during spring compared to the other seasons. Conclusions: Seasonality has an important role in the psychopathology of psychiatric disorders, particularly in bipolar and related disorder, and may represent an influencing factor in hospital admissions and hospitalizations. Seasonal pattern must be considered while managing diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders, with regard to prevention and psychoeducation of patients
