Overview

EDEN (European Day Hospital Evaluation) study is an international randomized controlled studywhich compares day care treatment with conventional inpatient treatment. Patients with acutemental disorder, included in this study, were randomized into two groups treated in mentionedtherapeutic models. In this article we follow psychopathology improvement, treatment satisfactionand subjective life quality in several time points – at admission, at discharge and duringtreatment. Our results enable us to resume that psychopathology improved similarly in bothgroups but patients in day care setting were subjectively more satisfied with their life quality atthe end of the treatment period. Treatment satisfaction also increased in both groups alike. Inconclusion we can state that day care treatment seems to be, for some patients with acute mentaldisorder, full scope alternative of conventional hospitalization and in addition it enables theirbetter social integration.

Key words:
day care treatment, conventional impatient treatment, clinical state of the patient,treatment satisfaction, the MANSA questionnaire, the EDEN study.
