“…Among the child-related criteria that have been posited for residential placement are the severity of a child's emotional and school problems, and the danger or destructiveness of the child's behavior (Kester, 1966; Potter, 1934); the onset and duration of prior pathological conditions (Stone, 1979); insufficient drive and impulse control that threatens mastery and growth; and a capacity for relationship so insufficient as to threaten usual ways of strengthening the ego (Easson, 1969; Rinsley, 1980; Weintrob, 1975). Some authors have noted the importance of evaluating a child's deficiencies in relation to his or her strengths, group affiliations, and other resources (Stone, 1979).…”

In view of the growing concern over the number of disturbed children in residential treatment centers, identification of the kinds of children best treated in such centers is important. A review of the literature reveals that criteria for placement are inadequate and information on outcomes insufficient for guidance on the placement problem. Implications and recommendations for practice and research are delineated.

This study examined factors that could be used in the prediction of nursing care needs of the child or adolescent requesting admission into an inpatient psychiatric unit. Using a time sampling observer methodology, nursing care activities provided to 40 child/adolescent inpatients were recorded and used as estimates of nursing care needs. Results indicated a great deal of variability in the nursing care needs of the inpatients. An encouraging finding of this study was that with relatively little difficulty, information can be obtained that is predictive of the child's or adolescent's nursing care needs. Significant predictive contributions were particularly noted for information pertaining to the sex of the childladolescent, ratings of intellectual functioning, and history of possible abuse and/or neglect. This is the age of escalating medical costs, Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs), and a shortage of child and adolescent psychiatric inpatient facilities (Adams, 1977). The authors, as inpatient staff members, have been faced periodically with the dilemma of open beds but too few nursing staff to cover admissions because of the patient mix on the ward. The question was asked: How can one predict if a ward can handle a certain type of admission with the present patient mix? In other words, will an admission be precluded because it requires more nursing staff than an unit can provide? This question is central to the issue of maximizing existing bed space in child and adolescent psychiaric inpatient units around the country.
