Tóm tắt :

20 p. This is a Health Evidence Network (HEN) synthesis report on the effectiveness of different types of day care services for people with severe mental disorders. Day care is considered to be an important component of psychiatric services, but the evidence on different forms of day care is not easy to interpret. This review evaluates five main forms of day care for adults with severe mental disorders: acute psychiatric day hospital care, transitional psychiatric day hospital care, vocational rehabilitation programs (supported employment and pre-vocational training), day care centres and drop-in centres. While the effectiveness of acute day hospitals is not in doubt, it is not clear that they have any advantages over other more radical alternatives to inpatient admission, such as crisis intervention and home-based care. However, it is conceivable that acute day hospitals might be most beneficial in circumstances where staff resources to deliver such crisis intervention or home-based care are limited or where there is a need to deliver complex treatments. HEN, initiated and coordinated by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, is an information service for public health and health care decision-makers in the WHO European Region. Other interested parties might also benefit from HEN.
