RIBW-bewoners en de factoren die samenhangen met een overgang naar een andere woonsituatie

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Few data are available on predictors for the transition of individuals with mental illness to more independent forms of housing. AIM: To analyse which variables predict the transition of individuals with severe mental illness from supported housing within the Dutch community housing programs (chp) to more independent ways of living. METHOD: Data of 1569 participants were analysed using Cox regression analysis. RESULTS: Individuals with a personality disorder, current alcohol misuse or who received ambulant care prior to admission in chp had the highest probability of moving to a more independent way of living. Individuals who received clinical care prior to admission in chp, individuals with admission in Supported Housing, and individuals with a history of substance dependency had the highest probability of clinical relapse. CONCLUSION: The predictors found in this study can be used as a starting point both for hypotheses for additional aetiological research and for guidelines covering specific interventions.
