Behavior in four-year-olds who have experienced hospitalization and day care.
Behavior of 535 four-year-old children was investigated in relation to their earlier experiences of hospitalization and day care. Results show significant behavioral differences between hospitalized and nonhospitalized children who had attended day care, none between those who had not. Repeated hospital admission increased the behavioral differences in the day care children.
