Changes in admissions to the same unit over 10 years were also compared.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Method: Consecutive admissions were studied in terms of demographics, ethnicity, diagnosis, psychiatric history, psychiatric information and mother-infant data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: The majority of women admitted suffered from schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders, with the second largest diagnostic criteria being depression. For 20 mothers, this was the first psychiatric admission and most admissions were voluntary. The mean length of stay was 21.7 days, representing a highly significant decrease in stay when compared to the past 10 years in the same unit. Mothering skills were found to be incompetent or only passable in 57% of women. A small improvement occurred by discharge, and the majority of women were not separated from their infants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions: The critical need to support these women and their infants in the long term was highlighted, with recommendations of outpatient and day programs, as well as supported accommodation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/00048679809113123","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,24]],"date-time":"2008-01-24T11:25:13Z","timestamp":1201173913000},"page":"680-686","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Psychiatric Illness in Women: A Review of the Function of a Specialist Mother-Baby Unit"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Jeannette","family":"Milgrom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Psychology, Austin and Repatriation Medical Centre, Heidelberg West, Victoria, 3081, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Graham D.","family":"Burrows","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Melbourne, Austin and Repatriation Medical Centre, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martien","family":"Snellen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wynne","family":"Stamboulakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mother-Baby Unit, Austin and Repatriation Medical Centre, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kerryn","family":"Burrows","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Austin and Repatriation Medical Centre, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1998,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00048679809113123","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1479-828X.1986.tb01527.x"},{"key":"bibr2-00048679809113123","first-page":"759","volume-title":"Child and adolescent psychiatry","author":"Kumar RC","year":"1994","edition":"3"},{"key":"bibr3-00048679809113123","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.150.5.662"},{"key":"bibr4-00048679809113123","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0165-0327(92)90110-R"},{"key":"bibr5-00048679809113123","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0165-0327(94)00067-J"},{"key":"bibr6-00048679809113123","first-page":"845","volume":"11","author":"Main T.","year":"1948","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"bibr7-00048679809113123","volume-title":"Maternal care and mental health","author":"Bowlby J.","year":"1951"},{"key":"bibr8-00048679809113123","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1177\/030857598701100206","volume":"11","author":"Robertson JJ","year":"1987","journal-title":"Adoption and Fostering"},{"key":"bibr9-00048679809113123","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.2.5607.755"},{"key":"bibr10-00048679809113123","volume-title":"Motherhood and mental illness","author":"Brockington IF","year":"1981"},{"key":"bibr11-00048679809113123","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00048679609065035"},{"key":"bibr12-00048679809113123","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Press.","year":"1994","edition":"4"},{"key":"bibr13-00048679809113123","volume-title":"Postnatal mood states, mother child interaction and child development","author":"Tonge B.","year":"1994"},{"key":"bibr14-00048679809113123","unstructured":"Milgrom J, Martin PR, Negri L, Westley DT Post-natal depression: long-term consequences and intervention.
