Title: An analysis of the "social consequences" experienced by thirty one alcoholic patients before and during treatment, at the Alcoholic Rehabilitation Clinic, Tampa, Florida.
Creator: Love, James Pasco, Hayes, Dorothy D., Florida State University
Abstract/Description: "The purpose of this study was to determine, if possible, whether there was any significant change in the 'social consequences' experienced by thirty-one alcoholic patients during the first six months they are in treatment as compared to the six months immediately prior to their entering treatment. The 'significant change' was determined on the basis of the 'social consequences' they suffered as a result of their relapse into compulsive drinking, and the difference 'before' and 'during' was...

In reviewing the literature and conferring with social service administrators, it was pointed out that a basic criterion was needed in order to determine the positive effects of social service activities with neuropsychiatric tubercular patients. As the complexity of multiple interacting factors made a study of direct effect impossible, it was decided to compare social service activities and other factors to rapid and non-rapid movement of patients from Ward 14. This determined the association of other factors, in addition to social service activities, associated with movement and provided some basis on which further study of the effects of social service could be undertaken.

Show moreThe problem of placing patients in the homes of paid caretakers is multifarious and complex. Among the most basic of the questions facing the agency planning to place patients is: what kind of patient to place in what kind of a home? When stated criteria are lacking for the selection of patients for both types of settings from the same hospital, the social worker's judgments become the gauge by which selection is made. This situation prevails at the Veterans Administration Hospital at Gulfport, Mississippi. Delineation of the factors contributing to successful placement would be useful in the selection and preparation of patients for community placement. The data of this study are primarily related to the successful community placement made by sixty white male veterans. Answers were sought to the following questions by an analysis of the data collected on 34 descriptive items. (1) How does the literature present and describe halfway house and foster home care as a form of community placement for male veteran patients? (2) Do the 30 veteran patients who have made a successful adjustment in the foster home care differ significantly from the 30 veteran patients who have made a successful adjustment to halfway house care when distributed on 10 selected social or baseline characteristics? (3) Do any of the 9 hospital and 8 military items significantly differentiate the patients in foster home care from the patients in halfway house care? (4) How do the 7 community placement adjustment items differentiate the two sub-samples?

The purpose was to attempt to discern some of the possible factors pertaining to the failure of forty-eight patients to return to the Clinic following the evaluation interview and offer of treatment. It was believed that an analysis of certain data obtained from the case records of the Clinic through use of a case reading schedule of eleven items and follow-up interviews with a group of twenty patients who did not return to the Clinic for the recommended treatment, would give some indication of the possible factors involved. An analysis of these data may lead to more knowledge of some of the factors involved when patients fail to return and will aid the Clinic in ascertaining whether the loss of patients was due to procedures within the agency setting, factors within the patient and his environment, or perhaps a combination of both"--Introduction.

At the Veterans Administration Hospital, Coral Gables, Florida, the economic, social and military factors of 50 patients referred to Social Work Service were compared with those of 50 patients who left the hospital without needing help with discharge planning. Records were kept concerning the number and type of interviews which the social worker had with the fifty patients and/or their family members in order to effect their discharge. The diagnoses and length of stay of these 100 patients were tabulated for the purpose of comparison also. It is hoped that this information will be of value in the future in improving discharge planning techniques, in reducing length of hospital stay for greater utilization of beds, and in obtaining the ultimate in rehabilitation for such patients"--Introduction.

The respondents indicated that they enjoyed reading as children, and many relied on library services to provide them with most of the materials they read. The Laureates who grew up in the United States had more access to library services, made more use of libraries as children, and felt competent to use libraries at earlier ages than did many of their counterparts growing up outside this country.

In addition to examining the boundary layer structure of these coastal and inland stations, an attempt is made to investigate thermadynamic structure on the continental shelf of the Gulf of Mexico in terms of both synoptic analysis and model applications. Return flow events of the Gulf of Mexico are mainly examined by using a three dimensional Air Mass Transformation (AMT) model and a one-dimensional Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) model. The models are intende for short-range weather forecasts of the temperature profiles in the lower atmosphere and the structure of the boundary layer"--Abstract.
