目的:了解2010年4月至2014年12月期間各階之進階率、分率、花費時間及進階後維持時間與階段維持率、分率及其各階段維持時間。方法:本研究係屬回溯之描述世代研究;資料來源為職能治療服務品質系統,收案條件為接受某精神專科醫院職能治療服務之病友(共2,605人;108萬人次)且保留每年皆有至少連續3個月階段記綠資料,共得樣本794人。結果:2階進3階為最高進階率(佔8.1%),進階者的進階花費時間介於6至53個月,進階後維持時間介於3至50個月。2階為最高維持階段率(佔33.2%),平均維持時間介於10.8至14.4個月。結論:五年期間總進階率22.8%,總維持階段率56.2%,因病情不穩退階者佔21.0%。各階進階平均花費皆在3.5年以上,成功進階者維持在進階之階段平均皆超過10個月以上,故成功進階個案之合理停留時間可定10個月。
Objective. The study investigated the outcome of the Five-stage Occupational Rehabilitation Service (FsORS) for the inpatients of a psychiatric hospital in central Taiwan during April 2010 and December 2014. Method. This retrospective descriptive cohort study screened data collected through an occupational therapy service data system over 2,605 inpatients (approximately 1,080,000 data entries). A sample of 794 participants who met the inclusion criterion (FsORS records available for a minimum of three consecutive months per year) were selected. Data analysis examined the progression, retention and duration across the different stages of the FsORS. Results. A total of 794 participants progressed to a higher FsORS stage, yielding an overall progression rate of 22.8%. The highest progression proportion was found in the FsORS stage 2 to 3 progression (8.1%). The overall retention rate was 56.2%, time required for stage progression varied from 6 to 53 months and the duration of retention post-progression was between 3 to 52 months. The highest retention rate found in the FsORS stage 2 (33.2%), the duration of participants' retention in their original FsORS stage ranged from10.8 to14.4 months. Conclusion. Occupational therapy using the FsORS model helps promote and retain psychiatric clients' functional level. Training emphasized in different FsORS stages can foster the clients' function required for progression. The average time for stage progression is 3.5 yr. Upon a successful progression, a client can retain the higher stage and function for 10 months or longer.
