The percentage of teachers’ remarks indicating disruptive behavior of the patients was eight times higher than that of the control group. Of the patient group,
ten individuals (42%) had a remark indicating disruptive behavior, in the control group 2 this was the case for two children (5%). For the health care professionals the difference
in the number of remarks between the inpatient group and the control group was
much smaller. This was probably due to the fact that the professionals had to fill in prearranged categories, while the teachers’ remarks were only recorded when something was considered wrong with the child. The percentage remarks given by the
YHC professional indicating disruptive behavior of the inpatients was almost seven
times higher than that of the control group. Of the inpatient group twelve individuals
(50%) had a remark indicating disruptive behavior, while for the control group this was
the case for three children (7%).
