Quality of life for 'new' long-stay psychiatric in-patients. The effects of moving to a hostel

JS Gibbons and JP Butler
University Department of Psychiatry, Royal South Hants Hospital, Southampton.

We observed 15 'new' long-stay patients in wards in a District General Hospital Unit and a mental hospital, and again when they had lived for a year in a new hospital-hostel. There were significant changes in time spent in the community, social interaction, activity and abnormal behaviour. Residents believed they had more freedom and none wanted to return to wards. Six patients remained on wards. They showed no comparable changes and all wanted to live elsewhere.
