Abstract:
Aim of current study was to investigate the impact of Community Mental Health Center(CMHC) interventions to outcome in schizophrenia patients. Data between May 2018-July 2018 retrieved from hospital database belonged to 69 outpatient schizophrenia patients who were following in a CMHC of Erenköy Training and Research Hospital for Mental Health and Neurological Diseases (CMHCH group) and 75 hospitalized schizophrenia subjects had not been involved in CMHC services (Non-CMHC group) was included in study. Substance use history and number of patients who were given a medical board report to place under guardianship were significantly higher in non-CMHC group (p=0.01, p=0.005; respectively). Involuntary admissions was found to be significantly higher in non-CMHC group (p<0.001). By comparison, there was a significant difference in terms of emergency visits between groups before involving to CMHC relative to nonCMHC group (CMHC group=2(1-5), non-CMHC group=5(2-11); p<0.001). A vast majority of emergency visits in CMHC group was conducted before involving to CMHC services (Before CMHC involvement = 4.2±6.2, after CMHC involvement=1.3±3.1). Our results suggest that a significant decrease in emergency visits and hospitalizations might be associated with a CMHC follow up in schizophrenia. Involuntary admissions and placing under guardianship were also higher in those who were not under CMHC follow up.
