Ruh sağlığı hastalıkları tüm dünyada giderek artmaktadır. Gerek bireylerin refahı ve sağlığı gerekse ekonomik ve sosyal sistemler üzerine olan etkisi, ruh sağlığı hizmetlerini önemli kılmaktadır. Bu önemine rağmen, ruh sağlığı hizmetleri sağlık sistemleri içerisinde politika önceliği bakımından gerilerde görülmektedir. Ruhsal hastalıkların sebep olduğu sosyal ve ekonomik kayıpların artması, ruh sağlığı hizmetlerinin etkinliğini gündeme getirmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, seçilmiş OECD ülkelerinin ruh sağlığı hizmetleri performansının değerlendirilmesi ve söz konusu ülkeler arasında karşılaştırma yapmaktadır. Bu kapsamda girdi yönelimli veri zarflama analizinin (VZA) ölçeğe göre sabit (CRS) ve değişken getirili (VRS) modellerinden faydalanılmıştır. Girdi değişkenleri olarak psikiyatri hasta yatağı sayısı, psikiyatri sayısı, psikiyatri hemşiresi sayısı ve psikolog sayısı çıktı değişkeni olarak ise, kaba intihar hızı kullanılmıştır. CRS Modeline göre üç, VRS Modeline göre dört ülke etkin bulunmuştur. Ülkelerin ruh sağlığı hizmetlerini geliştirerek kaba intihar hızlarını düşürecek önlemler almaları önerilmektedir.
Mental health diseases are increasing worldwide. The impact on the economic and social systems on the well-being and health of persons in need makes mental health services important. Despite this importance, mental health services are backward in terms of policy priority within health systems. The increase in social and economic losses caused by mental illnesses has led to the effectiveness of mental health services. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of mental health services in selected OECD countries and to make comparisons between the countries concerned. In this scope, input-oriented data coverage analysis (VZA) has been used by the standard (CRS) and variable returned (VRS) models. As the input variables; the number of psychiatric patient beds, the number of psychiatric nurses, the number of psychiatric nurses and the number of psychologists; and as the output variable, the brutal suicide rate has been used. According to the CRS model, three and four countries have been active according to the VRS model. It is recommended that countries take measures to reduce brutal suicide rates by improving their mental health services.
Mental health diseases are increasing all over the world. Mental health services’ impacts on welfare and health of the individual in addition to economic and social systems make them important. Despite this importance, mental health services are among the areas with low policy priority in health systems. The increase in social and economic losses caused by mental illness brings the effectiveness of mental health services to the agenda. The aim of this study is to assess the performance of mental health services of selected OECD countries and to make comparisons among them. In this context, input-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with both Constant Return to Scale (CRS) Model and Variable Return to Scale (VRS) Model has been utilized. In the study; number of psychiatric patient beds, number of psychiatry, number of psychiatric nurses and number of psychologists were used as input variables and as the output variable, the crude suicide rate was used. According to the CRS Model, three countries and according to the VRS Model, four countries were found efficient. It is suggested that countries should take measures to reduce the rate of suicide by improving mental health services.
