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...

Title: A comparative analysis of the backgrounds of 50 patients referred to social work service because of discharge problems and 50 patients not referred to social work service, Veterans Administration Hospital, Coral Gables, Florida.
Creator: Clark, Frances Dunlop, Hayes, Dorothy D., Florida State University
Abstract/Description: "The purpose of this study was to identify some of the distinguishing characteristics in the backgrounds of patients who presented problems in connection with their hospital discharge (and were thus referred to Social Work Service for discharge planning) from those who did not present such problems. 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...

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.

Title: A comparative study of 60 community placement veterans from the Veterans Administration Hospital, Gulfport, Mississippi, June 1961.
Creator: Higgins, Robert N., Hayes, Dorothy D., Florida State University
Abstract/Description: The 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...
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?

Creator: Cranford, Frances Marie, Hayes, Dorothy D., Florida State University
Abstract/Description: "The purpose of this study was to analyze data collected through the administration of a schedule to the records of the Dade County Child Guidance Clinic, Miami, Florida during the first 11 years of the Clinic's existence, in order to ascertain if there was an age, sex, and/or referral source pattern in the cases which were opened.

Data were collected from 4,706 cases with whom the Clinic staff had contact for one or more interviews. The Child Guidance Clinic serving Dade County opened for service in January, 1948, and the records were examined from that date through December, 1958. The hypothesis of this study is that there is an age, sex, and/or referral source pattern revealed in the distribution of cases opened during an 11-year period at the Dade County Child Guidance Clinic, Miami, Florida, and that there are no differences in these patterns between the first 5 years and the last 5 years of the Clinic's 11-year existence. The word "pattern" is used to mean a distribution which was evidenced consistently throughout the Clinic records and which could be expected to continue unless extensive changes are made in Clinic policies or within the community"--Introduction.
