[Reasons for inpatient admission to a psychiatric hospital and to a university clinic--a comparison]. 1985

K Foerster, and W Ritz, and B Potschigmann

The concrete reasons for a stationary admission in a psychiatric clinic and a psychiatric university hospital have been investigated. Evidential differences appeared at the age of the subjects and at the reasons for their admission: The psychiatric clinic admitted more agitated, desorientated, and intoxicated patients. More self-motivated addicts, calm persons suffering from delusions, and patients for diagnostic clarification, however, were admitted into the university clinic. Furthermore, the examination enabled to realize typical constellations between certain reasons for admission and the diagnoses. As to the duration of the treatment there were no important differences to ascertain between the two investigated clinics. Differences, however, were to realize when considering the duration of treatment according to the diagnoses.
