Abstract
School re-entry following hospitalization for psychiatric care
has been reported as difficult for many adolescent patients. Continuous quality
improvement initiatives may improve programming to enhance school re-entry
experiences. The purpose of this study was to explore the school re-entry
perspectives of the youth discharged from a psychiatric inpatient unit after
implementing programs that patients previously identified as needed.
A survey was administered to the youth about one month after discharge
to gather their perspective of their school re-entry, along with self-rated resilience
and stress.
Twenty-six youth (23%) participated in the post-discharge survey who
reported a mean age of 15.6 years (SD 1.0), 77% identified as female, 13 (50%)
provided very positive re-entry comments, eight (31%) reported moderately
positive experiences, and five (19%) reported a very poor school re-entry. Mean
perceived resilience (4.01, SD 0.6) and stress (3.42, SD 0.8) scores suggest youth
thought they had good resilience and moderate stress.
Most youth reported a good school re-entry. Considerable concerns
remain for the 19% who reported a poor school re-entry who may benefit from
specialized outpatient or day programming post-discharge before attempting a
return to school. Future directions for research are provided.
