Profiles of quality of life among residents in permanent supportive housing during the Covid-19 pandemic
This study identified profiles of quality of life (QoL) deterioration among permanent supportive housing (PSH) residents during the COVID-19 pandemic, which hasn’t been reported on yet. Between November 2020 and April 2022, 231 PSH residents from Quebec (Canada) were interviewed. Patient profiles were identified with Cluster Analysis based on the participants’ sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, and service use were compared (p < 0.05)…
Predictors of Length of Hospitalization and Impact on Early Readmission for Mental Disorders
Length of hospitalization, if inappropriate to patient needs, may be associated with early readmission, reflecting sub-optimal hospital treatment, and translating difficulties to access outpatient care after discharge. This study identified predictors of brief-stay (1-6 days), mid-stay (7-30 days) or long-stay (≥31 days) hospitalization, and evaluated how lengths of hospital stay impacted on early readmission (within 30 days) among 3729 patients …
Impact of Co-occurring Mental Disorders and Chronic Physical Illnesses on Frequency of Emergency Department Use and Hospitalization for Mental Health Reasons
Background: Patients with mental disorders (MD) are at high risk for a wide range of chronic physical illnesses (CPI), often resulting in greater use of acute care services. This study estimated risk of emergency department (ED) use and hospitalization for mental health (MH) reasons among 678 patients with MD and CPI compared to 1,999 patients with MD only. Methods: Patients visiting one of six Quebec (Canada) ED for MH reasons and at onset of a …
Predictors of Recurrent High Emergency Department Use among Patients with Mental Disorders
Few studies have examined predictors of recurrent high ED use. This study assessed predictors of recurrent high ED use over two and three consecutive years, compared with high one-year ED use. This five-year longitudinal study is based on a cohort of 3121 patients who visited one of six Quebec (Canada) ED at least three times in 2014-2015. Multinomial logistic regression was performed. Clinical, sociodemographic and service use variables were ide…
Profiles of Quality of Life in a Homeless Population
Quality of life (QOL) is a key indicator in mental health planning, program evaluation, and evaluation of patient outcomes. Yet few studies have focused on QOL in homeless populations. More specifically, research has yet to identify profiles of homeless individuals based on their QOL using cluster analysis. This study developed a typology of QOL for a sample of 455 homeless individuals recruited from 27 community and public organizations in Quebe…
Satisfaction with health and community services among homeless and formerly homeless individuals in Quebec, Canada
User satisfaction is a crucial quality indicator in health service provision. Few studies have measured user satisfaction among homeless and formerly homeless individuals, despite the high prevalence of mental health disorders (MHD) in this population. The purpose of this study was to assess overall satisfaction among 455 homeless and formerly homeless individuals who were receiving health and community services, and to identify factors associate…
Episódios de cuidados
INTRODUÇÃO: Esse artigo apresenta uma revisão da literatura sobre a definição de episódio de cuidados. O conceito de episódio de cuidados na pesquisa em serviços de saúde emergiu nos anos 60. Os episódios têm sido descritos em três perspectivas diferentes: a do paciente (episódio de mal estar), a do prestador do serviço (episódio de doença) e do seu financiador (episódio de cuidados). OBJETIVO: O principal objetivo desse estudo é apresentar uma r…
