CHAPTER ONE
Psychiatric
illness has fascinated and confounded healers, scientist and philosopher for
centuries, it symptoms have been attributed to possession by demons considered
to be punishment by the gods for the evil done or accepted as evidence of the
inhumanity of its sufferers victims. Thus explanation resulted in enduring
stigma for those whose were diagnosed with such disorders. Even today, much of
the sigma persist although it has less to do with demonic possession than with
society’s unwillingness to shoulder the tremendous cost associated with mental
illness.
Relapse is
one of the most severe problem of mental health care givers. It is common in
about 1.3% of the already treated cases of mental illness or more than two
million people (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [USDHHS] 1999).
Its economic cost is envious. Direct cost of relapse treatment expenses of most
psychiatric illness were estimated 2.5% of the total treatment of first hand
mental illness care budget in 1998 (American Psychiatric Association [APA]
2000).
The last
year for which these data were available (USDHHS, 1999). In 1997, this
accountant for $23.6 billion of mental health care dollar spent. The indirect
cost such as lost of wages, premature death and incarceration were estimated to
be $46 billion in the first half of 1998 (APA, 2000).
Further
unemployment among permanent disability is 10% (APA 1998). The cost relapse in
terms of individuals and family suffering are probably inestimable.
Despite the
current trend in modern treatment, there is still an alarming rate of relapse
and the reoccurrence of psychiatric illness globally. Individual who ought to
be productive and responsible in life are wasting away on daily basis.
Today
patients are required to stay for a short period of time in the hospital
admission and discharge to home environment to help reduce dependency on the
hospital care and reducing relapse. Also this helps to reduce stigmatization
and prevent complications (Feyinsayo, A. 2009). This study will attempt an
overview of Nurse and also to show how proper utilization of psychiatric
Nursing service will go a long way in reducing and eradicating the ever growing
cases of relapse among psychiatric patients in Federal Neuropsychiatric
Hospital Barnawa, Kaduna.
1.2
Statement of Problem
The
frequency of patients having readmission into the hospital over the last few
years has become a problem. This has made the achievement of good control of
patients’ symptoms and cure impossible.
Nursing
Staff and the Hospital has suffered frustration seeing the readmission of
patients, whom were recently discharged home after being stabilized on
admission. Some patient relapse as soon as they are discharged home. Other on
trials discharge relapse while other still relapse while on admission. Various
factors ranging from financial problems, lack of adequate staff have
contributed to the relapse of patients.
Some
patients have about a day or two days journey distance to the hospital
resulting in poor monitoring and accessibility to the mental health services.
Other factors also include stigmatization and dependency on care giver. All
these have contributed in the frequency of relapse experienced in the care of
these groups of patient leading to the social disability.
Hence,
resulting in the following:
Low manpower
Untold
hardship
Financial
constraints
Societal
nuisance
If not
properly handled and solutions found, the economy may suffer and the society
will be at a loss apart from the untold hardship. This is what motivated the
researcher to investigate the cause, give suggestions, remedy the situation and
also reduce the high rate of relapse.
