ABSTRACT

As a result of public law 99-166 the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in San Juan (DVAMC), Puerto Rico engaged in a planned de-institutionalization of psychiatric veteran patients who had been treated in two contracted psychiatric hospitals in the community. This research seeks to determine whether they were receiving treatment after the deinstitutionalization effort was completed, the types of psychosocial problems they were facing and the resources utilized to cope with them. The authors found that the veterans were receiving treatment for their psychosocial problems, they relied to a great extent on DVAMC for services and that the psychosocial problems of those veterans over age 55 were less and differed from those under age 55

ABSTRACT

Este estudio se diseño para identificar el nivel de funcionamiento en actividades del Diario Vivir (ADV) de veteranos colocados en el Programa de Hogares de Cuidado Personal (HCP) del Departamento de Asuntos del Veterano en Puerto Rico. A la vez, se exploró como se relacionaba el ajuste del veterano a la comunidad con su funcionamiento en ADV. Fue un estudio exploratorio, descriptivo de una muestra al azar de 60 veteranos ubicados en 32 hogares. Cada veterano fue evaluado para determinar su nivel de independencia en ADV utilizando un instrumento conocido como Medida de Independencia Funcional (MIF). Se evaluaron los patrones de comportamiento del veterano en el hogar meidante la Escala de Ajuste a la Comunidad. Los hallazgos revelaron que la mayoría de los veteranos del Programa HCP eran ancianos con una edad promedio de 64 años. Funcionaban a un nivel de dependencia modificada en sus ADV. En general, su ajuste a la comunidad fluctuó entre bueno a excelente. No se encontró relación alguna entre el nivel de funcionamiento en ADV y su ajuste a la comunidad
