"A field work placement in the social service department of the Veterans Administration Hospital, Augusta, Georgia, provided motivation and a source of data for this study. In reviewing the literature and conferring with social service administrators, it was pointed out that a basic criterion was needed in order to determine the positive effects of social service activities with neuropsychiatric tubercular patients. As the complexity of multiple interacting factors made a study of direct...

In reviewing the literature and conferring with social service administrators, it was pointed out that a basic criterion was needed in order to determine the positive effects of social service activities with neuropsychiatric tubercular patients. As the complexity of multiple interacting factors made a study of direct effect impossible, it was decided to compare social service activities and other factors to rapid and non-rapid movement of patients from Ward 14. This determined the association of other factors, in addition to social service activities, associated with movement and provided some basis on which further study of the effects of social service could be undertaken. An attempt was also made to show the association of specific characteristics of social service contacts with movement"--Introduction.

"The purpose of the study was to ascertain whether there were any marked differences when the study sample of fifty-seven patients (dichotomized by level of education attained) were distributed by each of the possible recommendations made by the Committee. The data for the study were collected from the hospital records of fifty-seven male patients to determine if there were marked differences on eleven social and medical descriptive items between twenty-four patients who had no high school...
Show more"The purpose of the study was to ascertain whether there were any marked differences when the study sample of fifty-seven patients (dichotomized by level of education attained) were distributed by each of the possible recommendations made by the Committee. The data for the study were collected from the hospital records of fifty-seven male patients to determine if there were marked differences on eleven social and medical descriptive items between twenty-four patients who had no high school education, and thirty-three patients who completed high school. Knowledge of marked differences not due to chance in the various social and medical descriptive items studied might be of help to the Committee in arriving at recommendations for patient care. The frequency distribution on sixteen possible Committee recommendations for patient care between the two sub-samples are given; to what extent the recommendations were followed also is indicated. If the data revealed differentiating items between the patients who completed high school and those who did not complete high school the Committee might show whether it would be feasible to make more recommendations for the patient population"--Introduction.

"The purpose of this study was to attempt an appraisal of the contribution of Social Service activity toward trial visit movement over a three year period at the V.A. Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Augusta, Georgia. Preliminary exploration of such movement during the selected period had revealed an increase in the number of trial visits during the first six months of each year from 91 in 1954 to 202 in 1957. A corresponding increase was noted in the ratio of successful discharges from trial...

A corresponding increase was noted in the ratio of successful discharges from trial visit to rehospitalizations for the same period: from 37 discharged to 50 returned in 1954 to 142 discharged and 109 returned in 1957. The average daily number of patients on trial visit also increased from 80 to 225"--Introduction.

"The purpose of this study was to analyze the 'before' and 'after' distribution of data collected from the hospital records of thirty-seven neuropsychiatric patients who were evaluated by a special hospital committee. More specifically, the purpose was to determine whether there were any differences of significance in patient care and patient movement of thirty-seven patients residing on an open full-privileged ward four months prior to an evaluation by the Neuropsychiatric Therapeutic Review...
