The experience of special hospital patients in regional secure units
1Ashworth Hospital, Liverpool, England.
Abstract:
Regional secure units provide one of the main routes of release for special hospital patients; a route that in many cases is unsuccessful as the patient is subsequently readmitted to the special hospital. Processes underlying this were investigated in this UK study using a grounded theory approach. The interview data obtained in 1993 from a sample of 14 readmitted special hospital patients were analysed and five explanatory categories were generated. This paper concentrates on descriptive data from two categories. One describes negative experiences of a group of patients in regional secure units; an experience often considered a 'backward step'. The second data category identifies four principal reasons for readmission; one reason, inappropriate sexual behaviour, was of particular concern due to its frequency and the possibility that it resulted from the special hospital practice of gender segregation.
