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.

精神病院青少年出院患者重返学校:持续改善质量的一步

据报告，许多青少年患者在住院接受精神病治疗后很难重返学校。持续的质量改进计划可以改善课程安排，提高重返学校的体验。本研究的目的是探讨从精神科住院病房出院的青少年在实施患者先前认为需要的计划后重返学校的观点。在这些青少年出院一个月后，研究人员对他们进行了一项调查，以收集他们对重返学校的看法，以及他们自评的适应能力和压力。26名青年(23%)参加了出院后调查，报告平均年龄为15.6岁(SD 1.0)， 77%为女性，13名(50%)提供了非常积极的重返学校评论，8名(31%)报告了中等积极的经历，5名(19%)报告了非常糟糕的重返学校经历。平均感知弹性(4.01,SD 0.6)和压力(3.42,SD 0.8)得分表明青年认为自己具有良好的弹性和适度的压力。大多数年轻人报告说他们重新进入了好学校。有19%的人报告说，他们在重返学校之前，可能会从专门的门诊或日间计划中受益。展望了今后的研究方向。
