Abstract AR
على الرغم من ضخامة أبحاث إستقصاء الأمراض النفسية و التطور الكبير الحادث في مجال علاج هذه الأمراض، إلا أنه ما زال هناك كم هائل من المعلومات التي تخص طبيعة المرضى النفسانيين و كيفية المعالجة في الوضع الطبي الإعتيادي التي لا توفرها مثل تلك الأبحاث.
و هذا البحث الإستقصائي الذي أجري عام 2002 في مستشفى الطب النفسي في دولة الكويت، قمنا بمراجعة كافة الملفات الجديدة التي تم فتحها خلال هذا العام لمعاينة نوعية المرضى و طرق العلاج المتبعة في المستشفى.
Abstract EN
Despite extensive studies on the epidemiology of mental disorders and advances in the treatment of these conditions, there is a paucity of detailed information concerning the characteristics of psychiatric patients and how treatments are administered in routine psychiatric practice.
This 2002 observational study collected information of 1532 patients on demographic, diagnostic, clinical, and treatment characteristics.
Nine hundred and sixty of the participants (62.7%) were men.
Nine hundred and eighteen (59.9%) were Kuwaitis.
The most common diagnostic category (36.6%) was mood disorder, followed by anxiety disorder (12%), schizophrenia (10.1%), and acute psychotic episode (7.9%).
Non-Kuwaitis were more often given the diagnosis of schizophrenia/acute-psychotic episode (26.1%), compared to Kuwaitis (12.4%).
Patients received a mean of 2.83 psychotropic medications.
Three hundred and ninety seven required admission (25.9%), whereas (74.1%) were treated as our patients.
