Abstract

Objectives
Hospitalization is an important procedure for alleviating the symptoms of patients with mental illness. However, in many countries, the trend of deinstitutionalization began a long time ago, and under the influence of CRPD and WHO QualityRights, perceptions of hospitalization are changing. In this context, it is important to identify the psychosocial characteristics related to the recovery of patients in psychiatric hospitalization in Korea. Therefore, this study sought to identify factors that influence recovery attitudes among inpatient. Through this, we attempted to summarize what is needed for the successful application of QualityRights in the future.
Methods
For 82 inpatients at A Mental Hospital in Korea, we analyzed demographic characteristics, number of hospitalizations, types of hospitalization, social support, stigma, and attitude toward recovery, human rights sensitivity by assessing self report questionnaires. We analyzed the data through regression and ANOVA.
Results
As a result of regression analysis, social support and human rights sensitivity was found to have a significant impact on attitudes toward recovery. Additionally, as a result of ANOVA, there was a significant difference in stigma depending on the number of hospitalizations, and no significant differences were found in other psychosocial variables . And There were no significant differences in psychosocial variables according to hospitalization type.
Conclusion
Social support and human rights sensitivity were found to influence attitudes toward recovery. Additionally, individuals with longer hospitalizations were found to experience more internalized stigma compared to individuals with relatively shorter hospitalizations. Through this, implications for domestic application of WHO QualityRights were summarized and limitations were discussed.
