A Study to Investigate the Medium- and Long-Term Developmental Directions of Mental Hospitals

ObjectivesZZThe aim of this study was to investigate medium- and long-term developmental directions of mental hospitals. MethodsZZThe preliminary investigation is composed of unstructured interviews with 10 psychiatrists, literature and case investigations, and development of models for medium- and longterm developmental model. The qualitative investigation consisted of constructed interviews with seven professionals. The quantitative investigation was conducted using questionnaires, which were sent to members of the Korean Neuropsychiatric Association, etc. Data were analyzed using frequency analysis. ResultsZZThrough the preliminary investigation we were able to make three models : community model emphasizing linkage between mental hospitals and community, specialization model stressing specializations of mental hospitals, and extension model highlighting extensions of the roles of the mental hospital. In the qualitative investigation, two of the seven professionals gave a special preference for the community model, one for the specialization model, and two for the extension model. In the quantitative investigation, the community model and the specialization model were the most favorite models, and the extension model was the least favorite model. ConclusionZZThree developmental models could be used in planning of the medium- and longterm developmental directions of mental hospitals, although each model needs to be embodied in order to work in practice
