Psychosocial Factors in Dual Diagnosis in a General Hospital

Condition(s) studied

Study summary

Dual diagnosis, defined as the co-occurrence of a mental disorder and a substance use disorder, is frequently associated with increased clinical severity, functional impairment, and poorer health outcomes. Identifying psychosocial protective factors related to better clinical and functional outcomes is essential to improve patient care and treatment planning.

The aim of this observational, cross-sectional, single-center study is to analyze psychosocial protective factors and their association with clinical-functional outcomes in hospitalized patients with dual diagnosis. The study will be conducted in a general hospital setting and will include adult inpatients diagnosed with dual diagnosis according to clinical criteria.

Sociodemographic, clinical, and psychosocial variables will be collected using standardized assessment tools and clinical records. The results of this study are expected to contribute to a better understanding of psychosocial factors associated with clinical severity and functional outcomes in patients with dual diagnosis, supporting more comprehensive and patient-centered care approaches.
