摘要 |
Purpose: Psychiatric halfway housing
is important for community re-entry in individuals with mental illness.
However, the benefits of psychiatric halfway housing have yet to be
established. This review provided an overview of the literature pertinent to
development of psychiatric halfway house in Taiwan. Methods: The
review covered articles published up to May 2014 as retrieved from the Airiti
Library, Chinese Electronic Periodical Services (CEPS), Chinese Electronic
Theses and Dissertations Service (CETD), and Networked Digital Library of
Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD). The key words were halfway house, community
rehabilitation, psychiatric disorder, psychiatric rehabilitation, and
residential institutions for psychiatric rehabilitation. Issues of review
interest include the distribution and environmental characteristics of
psychiatric halfway house, the service pattern and significance of
psychiatric halfway house, the specialists of psychiatric halfway house, and
the effects of psychiatric halfway house. Results: Nineteen reports were
eligible for inclusion. The review indicated that the distribution of
psychiatric halfway house was insufficient and distributed unevenly. In
addition, the service pattern of psychiatric halfway house may not be
adequate for assisting patients with mental illness to return home or the
community. Specialists may not have been adequately allocated to implement
sufficient service. Moreover, the results showed a trend for better life
quality in psychiatric halfway house residents than in inpatients. There were
no consistent reports of the intervention effects on life quality after
community rehabilitation center service, outreach care program, and
psychiatric halfway house care. Research is needed to validate the potential
benefits of these programs and their differential effects. Conclusion: This
literature review suggests that the number and arrangement of each specialist
should take the quality of rehabilitation into consideration. Local studies
of psychiatric halfway house were lacking, and the indicators of intervention
effects were still unclear. Future research is needed to study the
intervention effectiveness of each specialist and the cost-effectiveness of
psychiatric halfway house. |
