Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate data pertinent to a social
competence, a sibling rank, and a symptom cluster analysis of patients
who had not been discharged from the Hawaii State Hospital over a
period of 3.5 years. Symptomatic and demographic data prior to and
upon initial hospitalization were extracted from the case histories
and compared to a matched sample of patients who had been discharged
during this interim. It was suggested that because there were no
differences between the two groups, familial and community attitudes
and facilities may be more influential to the patient's discharge.
