Abstract

Objective: To understand barriers and facilitators to engaging in community activities for increasing social connectedness among recently psychiatrically hospitalized veterans, a population at elevated risk for suicide.

Method: We completed 30 semistructured qualitative interviews with veterans within 1 week of discharge from inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. Our interviews focused on understanding past and current barriers, facilitators, and needs for engaging in community activities after psychiatric hospitalization. Data were analyzed using a modified grounded theory approach.

Results: Veterans shared feeling a lack of belonging and discussed several barriers to community engagement including lack of self-confidence, limited knowledge of opportunities, and negative expectations. Veterans identified several ways to facilitate engagement in community activities such as centralizing information on community activities and providing active support posthospitalization.

Conclusions and implications for practice: Veterans by and large valued community and the role of community activities for increasing social connectedness. However, more active intervention for supporting engagement in community activities appears necessary to facilitate connection posthospitalization.

退伍军人精神科住院后社区参与和社会联系需求。

目的:了解近期精神病住院的退伍军人参与社区活动以增加社会联系的障碍和促进因素，这是一个自杀风险较高的人群。方法:对30名退伍军人进行半结构化定性访谈，访谈对象为精神病住院出院1周内出院的退伍军人。我们的访谈集中在了解过去和现在的障碍、促进因素和精神科住院后参与社区活动的需求。数据分析采用改进的扎根理论方法。结果:退伍军人分享了归属感的缺乏，并讨论了社区参与的几个障碍，包括缺乏自信，对机会的了解有限，以及消极的期望。退伍军人确定了促进参与社区活动的几种方法，如集中社区活动信息和在住院后提供积极支持。结论和对实践的启示:退伍军人总体上重视社区和社区活动对增加社会联系的作用。然而，支持参与社区活动的更积极的干预似乎是必要的，以促进出院后的联系。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA，版权所有)。
