disorder, based on therapeutic protocols: the therapy of memory (memories), psychomotor exercises, multi-sensorial stimulation, other forms of social, occupational, music, dance therapy, etc. ● in the Hospital of Psychiatry and Safety Measures of Jebel, Timis county, the patients were involved in active occupations, adapted to their social and cultural environment of origin only on a limited basis, due to insufficient human resources. The hospital only employed 2 ergotherapists, with a daily 8-hour schedule, during the first part of the day; thus, the number of patients who benefitted from ergotherapeutic activities, based on the psychologists’ statements, was limited due to insufficient staff and other activities taking place during these hours as well (medication, meals, etc.). Recommendation: ● to ensure the involvement of as many patients as possible in recovery and rehabilitation activities, group activities, occupational therapy activities, entertainment, specific activities for professional readjustment, by increasing the number of ergotherapy trainer positions. Answer: ● the management decided to reassess the number of needed ergotherapy trainer positions, by also consulting physicians who were heads of departments, as well as by asking the Ministry of Health to increase the number of positions stipulated for this category by the rules, since the staff rules did not specify other positions of therapists, additional to the two that were already occupied in the unit, as of the time of the visit. ● being aware of each patient’s need to be involved in occupational therapy, entertainment and rehabilitation activities, the management of the unit sent out a new notice to all departments with beds, asking them to reorganize the time of the patients and of the staff in the departments, so that each patient would be involved in activities, filling in the daily timetable of performed activities in a standard report to be attached to the patient’s clinical observation report. Regarding social assistance: ● the social worker’s activity did not follow a schedule for a specific time frame – week, month, quarter, etc. ● the mediation and counselling activities performed with the members of the patients’ families was not quantifiable, since no records or registers of the counselling sessions performed with the relatives on a direct basis or by phone were not available; ● the patients’ recovery plans did not include a heading containing data on the patient’s recovery/social 107
