Characteristics and needs of long-stay forensic psychiatric inpatients: a rapid review of the literatureTools Huband, Nick and Furtado, Vivek and Schel, Sandra and Eckert, Mareike and Cheung, Natalie and Bulten, Erik and Völlm, Birgit (2018) Characteristics and needs of long-stay forensic psychiatric inpatients: a rapid review of the literature. International Journal of Forensic Mental Health, 17 (1). pp. 45-60. ISSN 1932-9903 Full text not available from this repository.AbstractThis rapid review summarises currently available information on the definition, prevalence, characteristics and needs of long-stay patients within forensic psychiatric settings. Sixty nine documents from 14 countries were identified. Reports on what constitutes ‘long-stay’ and on the characteristics of long-stay patients were inconsistent. Factors most frequently associated with longer stay were seriousness of index offence, history of psychiatric treatment; cognitive deficit, severity of illness, diagnosis of schizophrenia or psychotic disorder, history of violence, and history of substance misuse. Although some countries are developing specific long-stay services, there is presently no consensus on what might constitute ‘best practice’ in such settings.
