Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | This publication is the result of several activities carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe as part of its long-term mental health programme covering the period 1970–1983. In 1976, the WHO Regional Office for Europe took over responsibility for the Organization’s Global Programme for Health Care of the Elderly and this publication, although dealing mainly with mental health aspects, touches on a number of general problems in this age group. The report examines the extent to which longevity is increasingly relevant in different countries, touches on the nature and extent of the problem of psychiatric illness in old age, and deals in detail with the results of an epidemiological study made in Europe. It discusses ways in which long periods of hospitalization of elderly people who are psychiatrically ill can be avoided so that their care may be compatible with the concept, and undertaken within the framework, of the comprehensive community mental health services that are evolving in most European countries. v, 119 p. |
