Sammanfattning
The predictive validity of certain items was tested with respect to their influence on the institutionalization of elderly people with psycho-geriatric disorders. Twelve items measuring both the patient's condition and the exhaustion around the patient were tested. Two outcome measurements were used, the first measuring the number of patients who were institutionalized after the end of 12 months and the second measuring the number of days at an institution during 12 months.
