Psychosocial Distress, Levels of Personality Functioning, and Social Withdrawal in a Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Acute Inpatient Population
In Brief
An observational study for Personality Disorders and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 62 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The study plan outlined here represents an investigation of instruments on the patients treated in the acute ward of child and adolescent psychiatry at the University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf (UKE). The psychosocial burden of the affected children and adolescents is evident due to the severity of the disorders leading to specific admission. The psychosocial burden can be defined as "psychological, social, or school-occupational functional impairment \[...\] that has arisen as a consequence of a mental disorder, a specific developmental disorder, or an intellectual impairment". The current research project aims to survey the severity of psychosocial distress, personality functioning impairment, and social withdrawal. A better knowledge of these factors may contribute to a more suitable, specialized treatment offer on the acute ward in the medium term.
