What this trial studies
This is a cross-sectional observational study conducted at a single general hospital. It will enroll adults hospitalized with a dual diagnosis and collect sociodemographic, clinical, and psychosocial data from routine assessments and medical records. Standardized instruments will be used to measure psychosocial protective factors and clinical-functional outcomes to explore their associations. No experimental intervention is involved; the goal is to better understand factors that may influence severity and recovery in this population. Findings may inform treatment planning and care strategies in hospital settings.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Identifying protective psychosocial factors could help tailor care plans to improve outcomes for patients with dual diagnosis.
How similar studies have gone: Previous observational work in dual diagnosis suggests psychosocial factors can influence outcomes, but this specific hospital-based, cross-sectional approach is relatively novel.
