    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Contrasting psychiatric ward environments were examined: the traditional 'medical model' and a modified 'therapeutic community'.
    • Understanding the impact of ward environment on patient behavior and satisfaction is crucial for effective mental healthcare.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare behavioral disturbance and patient dissatisfaction in two distinct psychiatric ward settings.
    • To investigate the relationship between disturbance and dissatisfaction within each environment.

    Main Methods:

    • A longitudinal study over 18 months utilizing specially designed daily and weekly measurement forms.
    • Data collected from nurses on behavioral disturbance and from patients on ward environment dissatisfaction.

    Main Results:

    • The 'therapeutic community' ward exhibited significantly higher levels of behavioral disturbance compared to the 'medical model' ward.
    • Behavioral disturbance in the 'therapeutic community' varied by day of the week, unlike the 'medical model' ward.
    • Disturbance was significantly correlated with and preceded dissatisfaction exclusively within the 'therapeutic community' setting.

    Conclusions:

    • The 'therapeutic community' model may foster environments with increased behavioral disturbance.
    • The dynamic between disturbance and dissatisfaction is context-dependent on the ward's therapeutic approach.
    • Findings suggest a need to carefully manage 'therapeutic community' environments to mitigate potential negative patient experiences.
