Violent victimization affected 5.6% of deinstitutionalized schizophrenia patients in Finland over 3 years. Poor finances, alcohol abuse, and criminal history increased this risk, highlighting a vulnerable subgroup needing protection.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Criminology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Investigated violent victimization prevalence and correlates in deinstitutionalized schizophrenia patients.
  • Utilized a large, unselected nationwide sample in Finland.
  • Focused on a 3-year follow-up period post-hospital discharge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Determine the 3-year prevalence of violent victimization.
  • Identify sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with victimization.
  • Compare findings with international data.

Main Methods:

  • Sample: 670 schizophrenia patients (aged 15-64) discharged in 1994.
  • Data Collection: Psychiatric records (sociodemographics, history, functioning) and structured interviews 3 years post-discharge.

  • Analysis: Multivariate analysis to identify correlates of victimization.

    • Main Results:

    • The 3-year prevalence of self-reported violent victimization was 5.6%.
    • Significant correlates included poor financial situation, alcohol abuse, and prior criminal offenses.
    • Victimization rates were lower than in US or UK samples, but correlates were similar.

    Conclusions:

    • A subgroup of deinstitutionalized schizophrenia patients with poor finances, alcohol misuse, and violent behavior history faces increased victimization risk.
    • This vulnerable population requires enhanced care and societal protection.
    • Findings underscore the need for targeted interventions for at-risk individuals within this patient group.
