title: [Social indication for hospitalization. Annual analysis of the pediatric department of the Magdeburg district hospital].
abstract: The patients' data of 156 children hospitalized on account of social indication were analysed at the Clinic for Pediatrics of Magdeburg District Hospital. Reasons for socially indicated hospitalization were: proved or imminent neglecting of children (49%), insufficient nursing of sick children (31%), suspected ill-treatment (8%), serious family troubles temporarily preventing nursing and safety of children (12%). Neglected hygienic condition of the body, improper nutrition of malnutrition, physical and mental lagging behind might be evidence for the social sufferings of children. Mothers of children obtaining in-patient treatment as a result of social indication predominantly lack lasting partnerships. They are Less qualified concerning vocational training or gave birth to their first child at a comparatively early age. There is an urgent necessity of closely cooperating between the Clinic for Pediatrics, the Maternity Advisory Centre, the Youth Well-Fare Service and the Department of Youth-Well-Fare in order to detect the children concerned in time to be able to find the best possible solution for the future life of the children without delay.
