Resumen

La asistencia custodial tradicional en los hospitales mentales ha dado paso a hospitalizaciones breves y diversos entornos de tratamiento activo de pacientes internos, por ejemplo, las comunidades terapéuticas. Pero ¿son los pacientes con un buen nivel educativo los únicos que pueden utilizar esta clase de asistencia psicosocial compleja e incluso exigente? Se evaluó a un total de 1.538 pacientes y sus primeras admisiones desde 1977 hasta 1993 en una sala terapéutica comunitaria cerrada en el Departamento de Psiquiatría de la Universidad de Oulu (Finlandia) para analizar la asociación del nivel educativo del paciente con algunas características del tratamiento y la evolución. Los niveles educativos eran: educación no profesional (46% de todos los pacientes), profesional baja (39%) y profesional superior (15%). No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en las variables de tratamiento y evolución de los pacientes en ningún nivel educativo. El resultado indica el logro de una meta del tratamiento en el modelo de comunidad terapéutica, a saber, la igualdad del paciente a pesar de las diferencias de nivel educativo. Este resultado puede ser especialmente importante para las personas con educación más baja.
