Resumen

Objetivo.-

La Ley de Asistencia Mental Obligatoria (LPT) sueca de 1992 pone énfasis en la participación de los pacientes y los familiares en el tratamiento de los pacientes. El propósito de este estudio era comparar las experiencias de los pacientes bajo la LPT con las experiencias de los pacientes conforme a la ley anterior.

Metodo.-

Se entrevistó a muestras de 44 pacientes internados y 40 ingresados voluntariamente en 1991 y 49 pacientes internados y 49 ingresados voluntariamente en 1997/1998 en la admisión y en el alta, o después de tres semanas de asistencia.

Resultados.-

Hubo proporciones similares de pacientes internados e ingresados voluntariamente, respectivamente, en 1991 y 1997/1998 que comunicaron participación en la planificación del tratamiento y participación de los familiares, y que informaron de privación de libertad, pero más pacientes internados en 1997/1998 comunicaron medidas coercitivas.

Conclusion.-

Las experiencias de los pacientes difirieron poco entre las ocasiones de estudio. Los própositos fundamentales de la legislación no se han cumplido.
