      transitional intervention.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The association between social support, readmissions and 
      psychopathology following discharge from psychiatric hospitals is not clear. 
      AIMS: To examine the prospective effects of perceived social support on 
      rehospitalisation rates and psychopathology and to focus on the moderators of a 
      transitional intervention. METHOD: This post hoc analysis of a multisite 
      randomised controlled trial included 151 patients with no more than three 
      hospitalisations within the last 3 years, a Global Assessment of Functioning 
      (GAF) score </=60 and aged 18-64 years, assessed at two psychiatric hospitals from 
      Zurich, Switzerland, between September 2011 and February 2014. Participants 
      received either a transitional intervention aimed at improving social support 
      during the transition from inpatient to outpatient care provided by a social 
      worker or treatment as usual. RESULTS: Lack of perceived social support at 
      discharge significantly predicted subsequent rehospitalisation rates and 
      increased psychopathological impairment across 12-month follow-up. Significant 
      interaction effects between patient characteristics and the intervention on 
      perceived social support comprised living at parent's home, having no children 
      and being of younger age. CONCLUSION: Perceived social support at discharge from 
      inpatient care may reduce rehospitalisation rates and psychopathological 
      impairment in the long term. A transitional intervention aimed at improving 
      social support may negatively impact on the perceived social support in some 
      patient groups.
