Abstract

Data from semistructured interviews with families of psychiatric inpatients revealed both satisfaction and dissatisfaction with hospital psychiatry professionals' practices in the course of patient transfer between units. The most significant issues were involvement of families in planning the transfer, provision of timely and adequate information to families, and availability and support of the staff. Recommendations are made for easing family stress and increasing family cooperation about the transfers.
