 In 2002, Japan had about 350,000 psychiatric beds and about 330,000 psychiatric inpatients. The government encourages community social resources to promote deinstitutionalization. To clarify the effects of social resources in the community on the discharge of patients from psychiatric hospitals, we analyzed 1,627 hospitals that had psychiatric beds. The results showed that lengths of stay(LOS)increase with the rate in hospitals of inpatients with schizophrenia and mental retardation, inpatients over 65 years old, male inpatients, and the number of inpatients per medical staff. Contrary to this, the hospitals that were in areas(or cities)having more psychiatric outpatients per psychiatric inpatients had a shorter LOS. The shift from inpatient care to outpatient care is considered to shorten LOS. However, it is found that some social resources do not shorten LOS. It is thus necessary to examine the effects of many other social resources on the discharge of patients from psychiatric hospitals.
