Hospital‐based community psychiatric service for patients with schizophrenia in <scp>K</scp>uala <scp>L</scp>umpur: A 1‐year follow‐up study of re‐hospitalization

Abstract

The study revealed the effectiveness of HCPS in terms of reducing rates of hospital admission among patients with schizophrenia in Malaysia. The finding may be used as an evidence to develop the service further in other hospitals. However, the finding needs to be replicated through studies with better design involving more psychiatric centres.
