Abstrakt		Morbid, social and economic factors influence length of stay of patients with schizophrenia. The role of psychiatrists has not been adequately studied up to now. The aim of this study was to find out whether length of stay of patients with schizophrenia differed between different psychiatrists in Department of Psychiatry of Medical Centre in Ljubljana. Data on admissions and discharges for 1994 were used. Analysis of variance was performed using SOLO 4.0 statistical package. The average length of stay of 686 patients with schizophrenia was 117,9 days and didn't differ between males and females. Differences in lenght of hospitalization between 49 different psychiatrists were significant (p less th. 0,001). After excluding 32 phychiatrists who discharged less than eight patients, the difference was not significant. Similar results were obtained in both sexes and also after excluding 156 patients hospitalized for less than five or more than 365 days. Psychiatrists are therefore not the main reason for differences in lenght of hospitalization. Further research on lenght of stay is needed.
Izvleček		Na dolžino hospitalizacije bolnikov s shizofrenijo vplivajo značilnosti duševne motnje, pa tudi socialni in ekonomski razlogi. Vlogi lečečega psihiatra v dosedanjih študijah ni bilo posvečeno dovolj pozornosti. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, ali se ležalne dobe bolnikov s shizofrenijo pri posameznih psihiatrih v Psihiatrični kliniki Ljubljana statistično značilno razlikujejo. Avtorja sta obdelala podatke o sprejemih in odpustih bolnikov na kliniko v letu 1994. S SOLO 4.0 statističnim paketom sta izvedla analizo variance. Povprečna ležalna doba 686 bolnikov s shizofrenijo je bila 117,9 dni in se med spoloma ni razlikovala. Med 49 psihiatri se je ležalna doba razlikova (p>0,001), vendar je razlika izginila po izločitvi 32 zdravnikov, ki so odpustili manj kot osem bolnikov. Razlike ni bilo pri nobenem spolu in niti ne po izključitvi 156 bolnikov, hospitaliziranih manj kot pet ali več 365 dni. Psihiatri torej niso vzrok za nepotrebno podaljševanje ležalne dobe, zato so potrebne nadaljnje raziskave o vplivih na dolžino hospitalizacije.
