En concordancia con otros estudios, se destacan las intervenciones que trabajan las buenas relaciones interpersonales, el apoyo social y la generación del vínculo entre el hospital y la comunidad. Conclusiones. La literatura encontrada reporta cinco características del plan de transición con intervenciones de enfermería que representan el éxito del proceso de transición para el paciente. Introduction. Hospital readmission of patients with mental illness is mainly caused by worsening of the underlying disorder; therefore, interventions focused on rehabilitation and social reintegration should be considered, being the transition to home care a strategy that contributes to the reduction of gaps, and an improved access to services and rehospitalizations. The present study seeks to identify and expose, from nursing care, which are the characteristics of the transition plan of the hospitalized patient in the mental health unit reported in the literature synthesizing the findings. Methodology. Scoping review according to the guidelines of the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and the PRISMA report. The databases PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual en Salud, Nursingovid and ScienceDirect were consulted, including publications in Spanish, English and Portuguese in the period 2015-2021. Results. Fourteen articles were selected, identifying the following topics: Discharge Planning and Preparations; Continuity of Health Care; Social and Family Support for Discharge; and Therapeutic Adherence and Implications for Nursing Practice. Discussion. In line with other studies, the interventions that deal with good interpersonal relationships, social support and the generation of the link between the hospital and the community stand out. Conclusions. The retrieved literature reports five characteristics of the transition plan with nursing interventions that represent the success of the transition process for the patient. Introdução.

The historiography of psychiatry recognizes a second stage in the construction of the argentine asylum system at the beginning of the 20th century, whose objective was to extend assistance to the mentally ill to the interior of the country. The first establishment founded for such purposes was the asilo Colonia Mixto de alienados in oliva, Córdoba. Its institutional environment was critical from the beginning and became more acute in the 1930s. There is a theoretical gap on the link between the institutional crisis of the time and specific disciplinary dynamics such as the weakening of the open-door model and the creation of the Liga argentina de Higiene Mental. This paper addresses the conformation of the articulated device in the asilo de oliva, by reconstructing the processes that defined its mode of operation in the context that took place between 1930 and 1943. The publications of local psychiatrists in the institutional scientific bulletin are approached, recovering the transformations developed in the establishment. During this period, national socio-political changes crystallized that had repercussions on oliva's organization and activated a complex process in the scientific agenda of argentine psychiatry, linked to the professionalization of the specialty and the redefinition of its conceptual and practical frameworks.

The aim of this work was to analyze the first admission to a specialized psychiatric hospital based on narratives of family members. Qualitative, descriptive, and analytical research, using semi-structured interviews with relatives of hospitalized individuals, was performed. We have identified that family members perceive some strangeness prior to the crisis, and that they are the ones who take care of the individual until the hospitalization. Upon arriving at the specialized hospital emergency room, family members report not having prior knowledge of the Psychosocial Care Network (PSCN). And, therefore, territorial mental health services do not participate in managing the crisis event. Family members criticize the hospital's idle daily life as well as the patients' passiveness and ignorance regarding treatment. Family members are the assistance network agents for referral after hospital discharge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción: Investigamos el potencial del cuerpo de las enfermeras en el cuidado de personas internadas en el hospital psiquiátrico. Partimos del supuesto de que a través de experimentos estéticos con el cuerpo las enfermeras pueden intensificar modos de existencia en el cuidado, vislumbrando nuevas posibilidades de desempeñarse profesionalmente. El objetivo del estudio es analizar los desafíos para la práctica de la enfermería psiquiátrica con base en experimentos creativos con el cuerpo. Materiales y Métodos: Investigación cualitativa, de enfoque socio-poético, realizada en 2017. Los datos se produjeron a través del dispositivo grupo-investigador y del uso de técnicas artísticas, conformado por siete enfermeras de un hospital psiquiátrico del Río de Janeiro, Brasil. Analizados por categorización global según la sociopoética. Resultados: Los datos demostraron un distanciamiento de las enfermeras de las prácticas propias del campo psicosocial, desesperanza en la mejora de la condición de salud del usuario y el potencial de los experimentos estéticos de generar innovación en el cuidado de enfermería. Discusión: Las categorías dialogaron con el referencial teórico de Collière, a saber: 1) el poder reducirse en el cuidado; 2) el poder movilizarse en el cuidado; 3) el poder desenvolverse en el cuidado. Conclusiones: Se concluye que existe una indefinición en cuanto a los quehaceres de la enfermería en el hospital psiquiátrico y la disposición de las enfermeras de cambiar/crear sus prácticas a la luz de una clínica que valore a la persona internada como ciudadano.

En este trabajo analizamos múltiples experiencias en el funcionamiento del primer open-door creado en la provincia de Córdoba, en 1914: el “Asilo Colonia Regional Mixto de Alienados Oliva”. Abordamos un conjunto de historias clínicas y publicaciones especializadas del boletín institucional, profundizando en procesos teóricos y terapéuticos articulados durante la primera década de internación de una paciente que vivió en Oliva la mayor parte de su vida adulta. Este estudio de caso, cuestiona la tradicional relevancia otorgada a este manicomio como espacio de reclusión y control social. Mostramos que, en un contexto de constante crisis de los recursos institucionales y de trasformación de los modelos psiquiátricos, la configuración del “saber ver” y el “saber hacer” de estos alienistas no constituyeron una autoridad monolítica, dando cuenta de cómo los comportamientos de los pacientes y sus allegados, los valores y usos sociales definían tipos de ingresos, diagnósticos y posibilidades de tratamiento.

Introduction: We investigated the potential of the nursing team in the care of patients at the psychiatric hospital. We assume that nurses can increase the modes of existence in care through aesthetic experiments with the team, envisioning new possibilities for professional practice. The objective of this study is to analyze the challenges of psychiatric nursing practice based on creative experiments with the team. Materials and Methods: Qualitative research under a social-poetic approach conducted in 2017. Data were generated using artistic techniques and the group-researcher device composed of seven nurses from a psychiatric hospital of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Data were analyzed through global categorization in accordance with socio-poetics. Results: Data showed nurses distance themselves from psychosocial practices, there is hopelessness about improving the user's health condition, and a high potential for aesthetic experiments to produce innovation in nursing care. Discussion: The categories were analyzed under Collière's theoretical framework, namely: 1) The ability of care reduction; 2) the ability to mobilize in care; 3) the ability to perform in care. Conclusions: It is concluded that the nursing tasks have not been defined at the psychiatric hospital and nurses are not willing to change/create their practices in light of a clinic that values the hospitalized person as a citizen.

This paper analyze multiple experiences about the functioning of the first Open-Door in Argentina's inside, the "Asilo Colonia Regional Mixto de Alienados Oliva", created in the province of Cordoba in 1914. We approach a set of clinical histories and specialized publications of the institutional bulletin, deepening in theoretical and therapeutic processes articulated during the first decade of hospitalization of a patient who lived in Oliva most of her adult life. This study case questions the relevance given to this madhouse as a space of reclusion and social control. We show that, in a context of crisis about institutional resources and transformation into psychiatric models, the configuration of know-what and know-how of these alienists did not constitute a monolithic authority, accounting for how the behaviors of patients and their relatives, values and social uses defined types of income, diagnoses and treatment possibilities.

Objectives. To assess the quality of consultation liaison across all primary health care centers in Chile, and its potential relationship with the psychiatric hospitalization rate. Methods. We carried out a countrywide ecological cross-sectional study on 502 primary health centers in 275 municipalities (87.3% of total primary health centers in Chile) during 2009. We characterized the presence of consultation liaison using four criteria: availability, frequency, continuity of participants, and continuity across care levels. We also created a dichotomous variable called "optimal consultation liaison" for when all four criteria were met. A quasi-Poisson regression model was used to estimate the rate of hospitalization due to different psychiatric disorders, adjusting by population attributes. Results. Of the primary health centers, 28.3% of them had had optimal consultation liaison during the preceding year, concentrated in the poorest and richest municipalities. Continuity of care was the criterion that was met least often (38.3%). The presence of optimal consultation liaison at the municipal level was associated with fewer psychiatric discharges, with the following incidence rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs): schizophrenia, 0.65 (95% CI: 0.49-0.85); other psychoses, 0.68 (95% CI: 0.52-0.89); and personality disorders, 0.66 (95% CI: 0. 49-0.89). Municipalities with optimal consultation liaison showed 2.44 fewer total psychiatric discharges per 10 000 inhabitants, although without reaching statistical significance (-0.85 to 5.70). Conclusions. Using a nationally representative sample, we found that consultation liaison in primary care was associated with having fewer psychiatric hospitalizations. More studies are required to understand the role of each component of consultation liaison. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O presente texto tem por objetivo apresentar um diálogo entre dois militantes da Reforma Psiquiátrica Brasileira que conversam sobre a imersão no cotidiano de hospitais psiquiátricos, mas a partir de vivências localizadas em diferentes tempos e em diferentes hospitais: Vera Cruz, em 2012, na cidade de Sorocaba; e Juquery, na década de 1980, em São Paulo. Bruno está em 2012, vivenciando um processo de intervenção em uma realidade manicomial que Silvio esperava já ter sido superada. Respeitadas as diferenças de lugares e das experiências por eles vividas, concluem que o modelo de tratamento proposto pelo hospital psiquiátrico apaga a fronteira do tempo e torna semelhantes as realidades que mortificam sujeitos e naturalizam práticas de segregação.

OBJECTIVE Evaluate and correlate individual, work-related and organizational factors that influence adherence to standard precautions among nursing professionals of psychiatric hospitals in São Paulo. METHOD An exploratory cross-sectional study conducted with 35 nursing professionals, using the assessment tool for adherence to standard precautions through the Likert scale, ranging from 1 to 5. RESULTS Knowledge of the precautions received a high score (4.69); adherence received (3.86) and obstacles (3.78), while intermediaries and the scales of organizational factors received low scores (2.61). There was a strong correlation between the magnitude adherence scale and the personal protective equipment availability (r = 0.643; p = 0.000). The training scale for prevention of HIV exposure (p = 0.007) was statistically different between the nurses and nursing assistants. CONCLUSION The organizational factors negatively contributed to adherence to standard precautions, indicating that psychiatric institutions lack safe working conditions, ongoing training and management actions to control infections.

Objective: To describe the extension of the adverse experiences, including victimization, lived in childhood and adulthood in a sample of people with severe mental illness residing in Barcelona, Spain., Method: Descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional study. Adverse and victimization experiences were assessed using 26 items from the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACE-IQ). Items were included obtain information regarding victimization during adulthood. Seventy-four people with severe mental illness were interviewed (median age: 42.03 years; standard deviation: 9.60)., Results: All participants reported at least two victimization experiences throughout their lifetime. The most frequent experiences were conventional crimes (87.8%) and victimization by caregivers (86.5%). Before age 18, half of the participants reported having experienced physical violence by their caregivers (52.7%) and almost one out of three reported to have been victim of sexual abuse (32.4%). Women were almost 13 times more likely to experience sexual victimization than men throughout their lifetime (odds ratio: 12.75; 95% confidence interval: 4.19-38.71)., Conclusions: Victimization experienced by people with severe mental illness is a widespread problem that has received little attention. The results of this study are consistent with those obtained in previous investigations and underscore the need to translate this knowledge into medical practice into medical practice, considering them in order to develop treatments with a comprehensive approach to mental health., (Copyright © 2023 SESPAS.

A Saúde Mental no Brasil tem se voltado aos serviços comunitários de atenção psiquiátrica substitutivos ao modelo asilar. Entretanto, o portador de transtorno mental continua transitando entre o serviço comunitário e o hospital psiquiátrico, sendo alvo, ainda, da disciplinarização e violência que colocam em questão a qualidade do trabalho em enfermagem. O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender ontologicamente o cuidar em enfermagem na internação psiquiátrica. Participaram da pesquisa quatro portadores de transtornos mentais freqüentadores de um centro de atenção psicossocial que aceitaram discorrer sobre a vivência da internação psiquiátrica, por meio de entrevista semi-dirigida. Os sujeitos rememoraram a experiência da internação psiquiátrica e teceram significações a respeito. Aplicou-se a Analítica Existencial de Heidegger, que gerou o Núcleo do Sentido: Ser-no-mundo-cuidado na impessoalidade, que propiciou o desvelamento do fenômeno mediante a estrutura de Dasein, sendo possível delinear o cuidar ontológico em enfermagem em hospital psiquiátrico.

Mirada general al panorama del Arte Irregolare en Italia. Se citan los diversos sectores en que se posicionan algunas de las personas que practican el arte como una exigencia vital, con urgencia creadora y que se encuentran fuera de la crítica artística considerada ofi cial. En este ámbito se encuentra el arte psicopatológico nacido espontáneamente en los viejos manicomios, el arte naïf, los artistas solitarios, los marginales y aquellos que trabajan en las estructuras protectoras de los talleres. Una nota especial merece la influencia que tuvo Franco Basaglia con la ley 180 del año 1978 que revolucionó la estructura de los manicomios llevando un gran cambio en el ámbito de la atención de la enfermedad psiquiátrica, y en especial, infl uenciando e incentivando el nacimiento de los primeros talleres en los hospitales psiquiátricos italianos. La parte fi nal resume el estado actual con algunas consideraciones críticas sobre la función y posición de los talleres contemporáneos con respecto a la crítica artística y a la atención psiquiátrica.

El texto que hemos desarrollado pretende ser una contribución útil para facilitar, al personal sanitario que trabaja en el ámbito de prisiones, el necesario conocimiento teórico y técnico que les posibilite una mejor comprensión y atención a las personas, privadas de libertad, que sufren estos trastornos. En la medida en que sabemos que la integración cognitiva de un modelo descriptivo y comprensivo, el tener en la mente una teoría sobre el fenómeno observado, actúa como factor emocional de contención de las propias ansiedades que experimentamos en la relación terapéutica con los pacientes, queremos también contribuir, con esta aportación, a mejorar los recursos emocionales de los asistentes que desempeñan sus tareas sanitarias en un contexto tan ansiogeno como es el medio carcelario, a la vez que señalamos los riesgos de que cualquier teoría pueda ser utilizada para enmascarar la realidad clínica.This study sets out to make a worthwhile contribution to healthcare personnel working in the prison sector by providing theoretical and technical knowledge to enable them to better understand and care for people in prison who suffer from these disorders. As far as we know, the cognitive integration of a descriptive and comprehensive model, bearing in mind a theory of the observed phenomenon acts as an emotionally constraining factor for the anxieties we suffer in the therapeutic relationship with our patients. Consequently we also wish to contribute with this study to improving the emotional resources of personnel working in a context as anxiety-provoking as is a prison, while also pointing out the risks inherent to any theory that might be used to conceal clinical realities

Este trabalho é recorte de uma investigação que buscou identificar o cotidiano de pessoas com transtornos mentais, que sofrem reinternações psiquiátricas. Nesse percurso foi possível evidenciar que esses sujeitos expressam diversas concepções do processo saúde/doença mental e que caracterizam as formas de tratamento que se utilizam. Utilizou-se como metodologia a abordagem qualitativa fundamentada no conceito de cotidiano da autora Agnes Heller. As entrevistas de pacientes e familiares foram submetidas à análise de discurso que, entre outros resultados, revelou que essa população passou a ter novas ferramentas e possibilidades para compreender a loucura e a assistência ao doente mental.Este trabajo es recorte de una investigación que buscó identificar el cotidiano de personas con trastornos mentales, que sufren reinternamientos psiquiátricos.

It was possible to pinpoint that these individuals express several conceptions of the health/mental illness process and that they also distinguish the kinds of treatment they go through. As far as methodology is concerned the study used the qualitative approach based on Agnes Heller's concept of daily life. The interviews with patients and their relatives were submitted to speech analysis, which showed, among other results, that relatives have developed new tools and possibilities in order to understand the patients' mental state and provide them with the necessary assistance.

Background. Job satisfaction is an important factor to guarantee work productivity. There are various scales to measure job satisfaction. Out of these scales, the recently validated Working Environment Scale-10 (WES-10) is the most brief. However, up to date the factor structure of the WES-10 has not been explored among any Colombian working populations. Objective. To determine the factor structure of the WES-10 among employees of a public psychiatric hospital in Bucaramanga, Colombia. Materials and methods. It was designed a validation study without a gold standard. Two-hundred seventeen workers participated, the mean age was 37.7 years (SD±9.8); 75.4% were women; 49.5% were narried; 37.0% were technical or vocacional degree; 58.7% lived in middle class neigbourhood; 51.7% were assistancial functions; and have been working in the hospital the mean of 13.0 year (SD± 8.8). The WES-10 is a 10-item device with five options of ordinal answer. It was done an exploratory factor analysis using the principal component method. Factors with eigenvalue over 1.0 were retrained. Results. The WES-10 showed internal consistency of 0.78 and bidimensional structure accounted for 48.8% of the variance. Factor one (working adjustment) presented an eigenvalue of 3.49; and factor two (self-realization), 1.39. Conclusions. The WES-10 presents an acceptable internal consistency and may be used for research purposes. Its bidimentional structure explores approximately the proposed construct.

Objective: Readmission of psychiatric patients refers to the need to readmit a patient due to the same cause for which he or she had been released. It is the result of recurrent decompensation and, when it has to do with a chronic mental pathology, readmission is due to sociodemographic factors, clinical characteristics, and personal background. The aim of this study is to explore the factors associated to the readmission of psychiatric patients cared for at Clínica San Juan de Dios in La Ceja, Antioquia, in 2014. Metodology: Cross-sectional study. Sample of 218 patients readmitted at least once in acute care unit at Clínica San Juan de Dios during the study period. Relevant clinical and demographical characteristics were obtained and bivariate analysis was done using aforementioned characteristics with patients who had been readmitted at least twice. Results: The most frequent diagnosis was bipolar affective disorder. Of the participants, 59.2% were women; the mean age was 39 years (range 15-75); 73.9% lived in urban areas; 24.3% came from dysfunctional families, 10.6% had dysfunctional marriage relationships, and 46.8% were released with a diagnosis of bipolar affective disorder. Of patients, 43.3% were referred to counseling psychology upon release. The least number of relapses was one, while four was the maximum. The mean of hospital stay was 9.1 days (range 1-49). There was no statistical association between the variables studied and the outcome of interest. Conclusions: There was no association between sociodemographic, clinical, or personal factors with recurrent readmission of the patients studied. Thus, we suggest cohort studies be conducted with larger samples in which more comparison groups are analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este trabalho tem por objetivo estudar a conformação das práticas institucionais e suas determinações históricas, do Hospital São Vicente de Paulo - HSVP, referência para o atendimento psiquiátrico no Distrito Federal, no período de 1985 a 2002. Optou-se pela pesquisa qualitativa, na abordagem histórico-estrutural, na modalidade de estudo de caso. Elegemos como categoria analítica a ideologia e, como categorias empíricas, a assistência em saúde mental e a reforma psiquiátrica. Os procedimentos de pesquisa utilizados foram entrevistas com informantes-chave e com atores institucionais (16 técnicos de saúde, 12 usuários e 9 familiares), análise de dados documentais e observação participante. Verificou-se que as práticas em saúde mental no HSVP tiveram uma retração na implantação da Reforma Psiquiátrica, a partir de 1999, e como correlata a desospitalização e a sujeição da clientela, usuários e familiares a uma situação de desassistência e exclusão social.Este estudio trató de los movimientos, contradicciones e implicaciones de las modificaciones que han ocurrido en el Hospital São Vicente de Paulo - HSVP, de la Secretaria de la Salud del Distrito Federal. El abordaje de la realidad institucional fue hecho en la perspectiva histórico-estructural, en la modalidad de estudio de caso. Los procedimientos de pesquisa utilizados fueron entrevistas abiertas con informantes importantes y entrevistas semi-estructuradas con actores (16 técnicos de salud, 12 entes utilizadores y 9 familiares), análisis de datos documentales y observación participante. La ideología fue electa como categoría analítica y, como categorías empíricas, la asistencia en salud mental y la reforma psiquiátrica. De forma general, las practicas de salud mental tuvieron una recua con la implantación de la Reforma Psiquiátrica, con el cambio de gobierno en el año 1999. La Reforma Psiquiátrica en el HSVP tiene como correlatos la retirada de los hospitales y el condicionamiento de los clientes, utilizadores y familiares y una situación de desasistencia y exclusión social.This paper studies the configuration of institutional practices and their historical determinations at Hospital São Vicente de Paulo - HSVP, reference hospital in the Federal District for psychiatric treatment, from 1985 to 2002. A qualitative research was chosen, using a historical-structural approach and case study technique. The authors elected ideology as analytical category and, as empirical categories, mental health care and the psychiatric reform. The research tools used were interviews with key informants and institutional subjects (16 health professionals, 12 clients and 9 family members), analysis of documents and interactive observation. The authors concluded that, from 1999 onwards, mental health practices at HSVP have suffered a retraction in regards to the Psychiatric Reform, as the hospital has implemented its policy of desinstitulization, but at the same time has submitted its clientele, patients and families to a situation characterized by poor medical assistance and social exclusion.

Objetivos: Conocer las características de los pacientes ingresados en hospitales psiquiátricos de la Comunidad Autónoma de Aragón; valorar sus niveles de dependencia y analizar el grado de utilización de servicios. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal mediante encuesta entre el 1 de julio y el 31 de noviembre de 2001. El cuestionario utilizado es el Resident Assesment Instrument (RAI) para pacientes con trastornos psiquiátricos (RAI-MH). Se estudió una muestra de 437 pacientes ingresados en los hospitales psiquiátricos del Servicio Aragonés de Salud que atienden a enfermos crónicos o en rehabilitación. Se utilizó el Resource Utilization Group (RUG-I) para clasificar a los pacientes en función de su nivel de dependencia para las actividades de la vida diaria (AVD). Resultados: De los 437 pacientes, 259 (59,3%) eran varones con una media de edad de 62,2 años. El 82,1% de los pacientes pertenecía al grupo 1 del RUG-I. La mayor parte de los servicios de atención formal se concentra en los grupos menos dependientes. El 25,3% de los pacientes del grupo 1 del RUG-I y el 15,2% del grupo 2 requirieron al menos una visita del psiquiatra, frente a ninguna del resto de los grupos. Las intervenciones de enfermería son requeridas con más frecuencia por los pacientes dependientes. El 100% de los grupos 2-8 requiere asistencia física diaria para las AVD frente al 26,3% del grupo 1. En el análisis multivariante las variables predictoras fueron el hospital y el tipo de unidad. Conclusiones: Hay una gran variabilidad en la utilización de servicios por parte de los pacientes de hospitales psiquiátricos en función de los niveles de dependencia. Una gran parte de los pacientes no requiere asistencia formal. Es preciso realizar la valoración de las necesidades de cada paciente para proporcionar el tipo de asistencia que realmente requiere.Objectives: To determine the characteristics of patients living in psychiatric hospitals in Aragon, to assess their dependency levels, and to analyze health care services' utilization by these patients. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study between July 1 and November 31. The questionnaire used was the Resident Assessment Instrument- Mental Health (RAI-MH). The sample consisted of 437 patients living in public psychiatric hospitals in Aragon. These hospitals provide care to chronically mentally ill patients and to patients undergoing rehabilitation. The Resource Utilization Group (RUG-I) system was used to classify patients by their dependency levels for activities of daily life (ADL).Results: Of the 437 patients, 259 (59.3%) were men with a mean age of 62.2 years. A total of 82.1% of the patients were classified as RUG-I group 1. Patients in groups 1 and 2 required more formal health care services. At least one visit by a psychiatrist was required by 25.3% of patients in group 1 and by 15.2% of those in group 2 compared with no visits by the other groups. Nursing interventions were more frequently required by patients in the more dependent groups. All of the of patients in groups 2 to 8 needed daily physical assistance for ADL vs. 26.3% of those in group 1. In the multivariate analysis, predictive variables were the hospital and type of unit. Conclusions: There is wide variation in health care services' utilization by patients living in psychiatric hospitals, which is related to dependency levels. Many psychiatric patients do not need formal psychiatric care. Health care professionals should assess the real needs of patients to provide each of them with appropriate care.

Objetive: To characterise the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychiatric hospitalisations in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region., Methods: Descriptive study. 85 semi-structured interviews were conducted with health workers involved with psychiatric hospitalisations in general hospitals (GHs) and specialised psychiatric hospitals (SHs) from 18 LAC countries. The interviews were done between 8 May and 30 June 2020. The data were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively., Results: An initial decrease in the demand for hospitalisation is reported, attributed to the population's fear of approaching health services as well as restrictions on mobility. Stricter criteria for hospitalisation were reported with a double focus on the acute within the acute. The length of hospitalisations were mixed, with both increases and decreases in GHs and SHs. The therapeutic offer was drastically reduced, and interaction between hospitalised people and their support networks was restricted., Conclusions: In the COVID-19 context, hospitalisation seems to be not the last but the only alternative for psychiatric treatment. The decrease in the number of beds in SHs could be a positive aspect for the reform of psychiatric care, but it is questioned since this reduction also occurs in GHs., (Copyright © 2021 Asociación Colombiana de Psiquiatría.
