| Abstrakt | It is well known that the occurrence of mental disorders varies with season of year. The aim of this study is to determine the seasonal variations of admissions to Psychiatric clinic: in Ljubljana in 1993. The data from Registry of hospitalized patients in Slovenia were used. There were 3576 admissions in 1993. Descriptive data on (ICD-9) diagnoses and sex of admitted patients are given. Numbers of admissions per month were compared between diagnostic groups using a chi-square test. The peak of admissions for affective psychoses was in August, for organic psychoses in June, for alcoholism in April, while admissions for schizophrenia and neuroses had no significant peak. The monthly distribution of first admissions did not differ between diagnostic groups in males and females, and for subseuqent hospitalizations differences were found only in males. Because the hospitalization is influenced by many different factors, cannot be inferred the true incidence of mental disorders from the data on admissions. Some proposals for further research are given. | |
| Izvleček | Znano je, da se nekatere duševne motnje pojavljajo sezonsko. Namen raziskave je bil, ugotoviti sezonske spremembe števila sprejemov na Psihiatrićno kliniko Ljubljana glede na koledarski mesec. Uporabljeni so podatki Registra hospitaliziranih psihiatričnih bolnikov Slovenije za leto 1993. V tem letu je bilo 3576 sprejemov. Podatki o sprejemih po posameznih mesecih in diagnostićnih skupinah so analizirani s testom hi-kvadrat ter ločeno po spolu. Največ sprejemov zaradi afektivnih psihoz je bilo avgusta, zaradi organskih psihoz junija, zaradi sindroma odvisnosti od alkohola aprila, shizofrenija in nevroze pa nimajo izrazitih vrhov sprejemov. Rezultati kažejo, da se mesečno število ponovnih sprejemov po diagnozah razlikuje pri moških, glede prvih sprejemov pa ni razlik med meseci pri nobenem spolu. Ker na hospitalizacijo vpliva mnogo dejavnikov, samo iz števila sprejemov ni moč sklepati na sezonske spremembe pojavljanja duševnih motenj. Podani so predlogi za nadaljnje raziskovanje. | |
