Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, yatarak tedavi gören şizofreni tanılıhastalarda, taburculuk sonrasy 6 ay içerisinde yenidenyatış sıklığının ve bunu etkileyen sosyodemografik ve klinik değişkenlerin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Yöntem: Buamaçla, 01 Nisan 2011- 30 Eylül 2011 tarihleri arasında,hastanemizde yatarak tedavi görmüş ve taburcu edilmiş,şizofreni tanılı 292 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi.Bulgular: Taburculuk sonrasındaki 6 aylık süre içinde 292hastanın 50'si (%17.1) yeniden hastaneye yatmıştır. ilkkez hastane yatışı olan hastaların hiç biri bu süreiçerisinde yeniden hastaneye yatmamıştır. Tekrarlayanyatışı olan hastaların ortalama yeniden yatış zamanı85.6±52.1 gündür. Tekrarlayan yatış riski ailede psikozöyküsü olanlarda 2.3 kat daha fazla görülürkenhastalığın başlangıç yaşının küçülmesiyle arttığı, yatış sayısının artışıyla birlikte arttığı, yatış ve taburculukPANSS puanlarının artışıyla birlikte arttığı görüldü.Sonuç: Yatarak tedavi gören şizofren hastaların izleminde, ailede psikoz öyküsü, hastalığın başlangıç yaşı,önceki yatış sayısı ve hastalığın şiddeti yeniden yatışı etkileyen etkenlerdir
