Day Hospital

Japanese: デー・ホスピタル(英語表記)day hospital
Day Hospital
A form of treatment for the mentally ill, this refers to a treatment facility positioned between inpatient and outpatient treatment. It is translated as a day hospital. It is prepared for patients who do not require 24-hour protection like inpatient treatment, and for whom the short period of outpatient treatment is not effective enough. In other words, patients receive medical treatment (pharmacotherapy and occupational therapy) for 6 to 8 hours during the day at the hospital, and spend the night at home with their family. It was primarily conceived as a method of rehabilitation during the transition from hospital life to the community.

Japanese:
精神障害者の治療の一形態で,入院治療と外来治療の中間に位置づけされる治療施設のこと。昼間病院と訳される。入院治療のように24時間の保護の必要はなく,また,外来治療のような短時間では治療効果の不十分な患者のために用意される。すなわち,昼間,病院において6~8時間の医療(薬物療法や作業療法)を受け,夜は自宅で家族といっしょに過ごす。主として入院生活から地域社会への移行段階でのリハビリテーションの方法として考えられた。
