Abstract

One of the most important indicators evaluating the effectiveness of community mental health centers is the decrease in hospitalization rates of registered patients. The aim of our study was to compare the annual hospitalization rates of patients receiving community mental health services before enrollment with the annual hospitalization rates after enrollment. The study included 400 patients with a registration period of at least 1 year as of the end of 2018. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to test the significance of the difference between pre-registration and post-registration patients’ annual hospitalizations. The annual hospitalization rates (0.32 ± 0.35) and the annual hospitalization rates (0.15 ± 0.35) before and after registration were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.001). Annual hospitalization rates decreased by 54.58%. Our Community Mental Health Center, which provides community-based mental health services, has led to a significant decrease in annual hospitalization rates thanks to the services provided.
