They were compared to 61 consecutive elderly subjects atten ding a psychiatric out-patient clinic. Psychiatric, social and clinical characteristics of subjects admitted and those living with their families were analysed and related to recent socioeconomic changes and conditions prevailing in Kuwait.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Higher admission rates were significantly related to female sex, the widowed and single status and Kuwaiti and Bedouin nationalities. Low income or housing problems, poor relationships to their families and\/or relatives, absence of an interested family member, a small number of own children, referral by family members on account of disabilities, organic brain syndromes or chronic psychiatric disorder was also associated with higher admission rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Sixty four percent of the residents of the old people's home had psychiatric illnesses in spite of the official policy of excluding the mentally ill from admission.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Some of the above mentioned characteristics were similar to findings in other coun tries, but others e.g. the role of nationality and location of residence in admission to institutions were different. Planning social and medical services in Kuwait should take these findings into account.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/002076408803400103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,18]],"date-time":"2007-03-18T01:46:51Z","timestamp":1174182411000},"page":"13-24","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Some Psycho-Social Aspects of Old People Living Outside Their Families in Kuwait"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"T.H.","family":"Malasi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Fauculty of Medicine, University of Kuwait, PO Box 24923 Safat, Kuwait 13110"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.M.","family":"El-Hilu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Kuwait, PO Box 24923 Safat, Kuwait 13110"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"I.A.","family":"Mirza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Kuwait, PO Box 24923 Safat, Kuwait 13110"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.F.","family":"El-Islam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Kuwait, PO Box 24923 Safat, Kuwait 13110"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1988,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","first-page":"5","volume":"39","author":"Ayoub, H.","year":"1956","journal-title":"Journal of the Egyptian Medical Association"},{"key":"atypb2","first-page":"22","author":"Banoub, S.N.","year":"1982","journal-title":"Medical Times"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"A prospective mental health program for the elderly.
