Adolescents in acute adult psychiatric wards – developments in the coronavirus pandemic and implications for rehospitalisation rates

Children and adolescents are severely affected by the coronavirus pandemic in their everyday lifes and possibly also in their long-term development. Currently, a significant increase in mental health problems among children and adolescents and a corresponding increase in the use of the healthcare system can be observed in Switzerland. Studies from German speaking countries show that the burden of mental problems such as anxiety and depression has increased, and the quality of life has decreased at the same time.

The present study aimed to investigate how the number of adolescents who were treated for capacity reasons in adult psychiatry in the canton of Zurich developed during the pandemic and whether treatment in specialised adolescent psychiatry differs from treatment in adult psychiatry in terms of rehospitalisation rates.
