A small group of persons, concerned about the well-being and the quality of life of a group of chronical psychotic patients in Romania, decided to initiate a plan to improve the social inclusion and the general well-being of this group of patients.

Being psychotic is not a choice.

Introduction.

A small group of persons, concerned about the

well-being and the quality of life of a group of  chronical psychotic patients in Romania,

decided to initiate a plan to improve the social inclusion and the general

well-being of this group of patients.

The concerned group.

The persons  involved in this project are:

Jos Gisberts, LL.M., Linne, The Netherlands

Dr.Ciprian Bacila, head psychiatrist dr. Preda spital Sibiu, Romania

Prof. Dr. Francesco Russo, professor of surgery, Rome, Italy.

Prof. Dr. Philippe Delespaul, medical faculty Maastricht university The

Netherlands

The patients.

The patients residing in a psychiatric hospital and

diagnosed as “chronic psychotic”.

The objective.

The objective is to relocate the patients from the

hospital to a number of small protective houses in and around a city in

Romania.  Based on foreign research as

ultimate goal can be expected:

1.     An improvement of the social inclusion of the patients.

2.     An improvement of their health and general well-being.

Proceedings.

To achieve the objective and the ultimate goal, three different phases can be distinguished.

1. A feasibility and sustainability study. The expenses of a feasibility/ sustainability study will be approximately be  50.00,-- euro.

In a feasibility study all aspects of this project will be explained.

Based on Dutch and possibly Italian currents project as references, the study will hold information about:

Ø  Demands for the protected houses as buildings

Ø  Demands about exploitation

Ø  Supervision of the patients

Ø  Daily activities for the patients

Ø  Activities for promoting social inclusion

Ø  Financial information

Ø  Legal information

Ø  Medical relevant information

Ø  etcetera

2. Fundraising.

After finishing the feasibility/sustainability study a strategy for fundraising has to be developed. If sufficient funds have been raised phase 3 will be launched:

3. Actual realization.

Depending on the situation at hand, new houses can be build, existing houses can be bought, rented and adapted,  according to the demands in the feasibility study.

Current parties involved:

In Romania

Sr.Preda psychiatric hospital

In the Netherlands

1.      Medical faculty of the University of Maastricht https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/

2. Eurpean Charity Fund

In Italy

1.      ASLROMA1 in Rome https://www.aslroma1.it/

Approach.

Practical.

Information from Dutch and Italian organizations about the current situation of small living units. This information can be used as “references” in the feasibility study.

Scientifically.

Research of the universities about the two objectives mention above.

1.     One research program is a “patient survey” of the patients that are included in this program. The survey can be done by a postdoc as a study for a PhD.

2. For Another research program the university of Maastricht is willing to provide laboratory facilities for a scientific research program.

It is possible to determine the stress level of patients by the cortisol level in a patients hair.

By repeating this research over a long period it is possible to draw conclusions about the success of the project.
