Sponsor's own description

Early readmission to psychiatric units poses a significant challenge for both patients with mental health issues and healthcare institutions. It hampers patient progress and prognosis, and the professional approach taken during discharge can greatly influence the recovery process. This paper proposes a multicomponent discharge transition intervention to mitigate the risk of early readmission to a Mental Health Hospitalization Unit (MHHU). The intervention entails developing a measurement scale to assess patients' risk of early readmission, allowing for stratification into high, medium, and low-risk categories. Tailored intervention strategies will focus on ensuring adherence and continuity of care post-discharge, with a more comprehensive approach for high-risk patients. Additionally, a post-discharge psychotherapeutic group will be incorporated for high-risk cases to support recovery. The efficacy of the program will be analyzed by comparing the overall early readmission risk at the Regional Hospital of Malaga's MHHU with the previous year, using admission episodes from two other hospitals in the province as a control group where the intervention program is not implemented. The success of the post-discharge group psychotherapeutic intervention will be evaluated through pre-post assessments of recovery measures, functionality, subjective well-being, social support, and treatment satisfaction. This proposal aims to address the issue of early readmission to psychiatric units by enhancing predictability and understanding of intervention strategies to reduce readmission rates.
