Resumen

PORTOCARRERO, Kimberly Requelme et al. Family cohesion and time of hospitalization in patients with mental disorders in a hospital in Lambayeque, Peru. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.3, pp.588-594. ISSN 1814-5469.  http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v21i1.3408.

Mental disorders represent about 22% of the total burden of disease, and family support plays an important role in the length of hospitalization time in these patients. We described the family cohesion and the time of hospitalization in patients of the psychiatric service of the Hospital Nacional Almanzor Aguinaga Asenjo (H.N.A.A.A) during 2019. This is a cross-sectional descriptive census-type study, in which a questionnaire of 11 questions on family cohesion was applied. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected through a data collection form. 60 patients were surveyed, the median age was 50 years, the most frequent diagnosis was schizophrenia; most are female, not working and are single. The median length of hospitalization was 12.5 days. Those who respond positively to questions tend to stay longer.
