- W2352643339 abstract "Background:With the rapid development of Shanghai's economy and the gradual increase in the transient workforce,the number of homeless individuals with psychiatric disorders who get hospitalized has been increasing.But there are few assessments of the characteristics of this growing sub-population of psychiatric patients in China.Objectives:Compare the characteristics of homeless persons with mental illnesses who are hospitalized in Shanghai with those of psychiatric inpatients who lived with family members prior to admission.Methods:Ninety-eight homeless individuals with mental illnesses consecutively referred to the Jiading District Mental Health Center for inpatient treatment by the Bureau of Public Security(n=42)or by the local welfare agency(n=56)between May 2007 and April 2009 were enrolled in the study.Their characteristics were compared with those of 98 inpatients at the Center randomly selected from all inpatients admitted over the same period who had lived with family members or guardians prior to admission.Results:There were no differences in the age between the two groups of patients,but there were significant differences in almost all other demographic variables considered.Compared to inpatients who lived with their family,homeless psychiatric inpatients were more likely to be male(76.5% vs.59.2%,χ2= 6.76,P=0.009),single(88.2% vs.56.1%,χ2= 15.91,P0.001),from other provinces(84.7% vs.20.4%,χ2= 83.55,P0.001),and without a source of income(73.4% vs.33.7%,χ2=27.66,P0.001).Over 70% of both homeless and non-homeless patients had schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders.None of the homeless patients had substance abuse or alcohol-related problems.The only diagnosis that was statistically different between groups was mental retardation,which was more common in the homeless group(18.4% vs.6.1%,χ2=6.84,P=0.009).Homeless patients were also more likely to have a concurrent physical disease(53.1% vs.33.7%,χ2=7.50,P=0.006).Conclusions:The number of homeless psychiatric patients hospitalized in Shanghai is rapidly increasing.The characteristics of these patients are quite different from those of patients who are hospitalized on the recommendation of their families,and from the homeless mentally ill in other countries.Different treatment and follow-up strategies must be developed for this vulnerable subgroup of mentally ill individuals." @default.
