[What impedes discharge support for persons with schizophrenia in psychiatric hospitals?].

Abstract

Effective treatments promoting discharge support for long-term in-patients with schizophrenia are discussed according to the five clusters found. By clustering discharge difficulties, the treatment team will be provided with the necessary medical and social resources. In conclusion, a desirable supportive relation between patients and the team, basic skills to motivate the patients, and cooperative relations among the members of the treatment team are crucial in order to improve the outcomes of patients with discharge difficulties.
