Abstrakt: Background: Pediatricians and child and adolescent psychiatrists share patient populations. However, the availability of child and adolescent psychiatric care in Dutch hospitals is often limited.
Aim: To inventorize the experiences and wishes of Dutch pediatricians with regard to collaboration between pediatrics and child and adolescent psychiatry, especially in the St. Antonius Hospital where consultation has been started.
Method: Online survey among pediatricians in 16 hospitals in the Netherlands and qualitative interviews with pediatricians and medical psychologists in the St. Antonius Hospital.
Results: Interview attendees experienced obstacles in waiting lists, organization of care, and limited options for immediate consultation. The majority experienced that child and adolescent psychiatric care was insufficient in their hospitals.
Conclusion: Extending consultative collaboration could improve the care for children and reduce some of the obstacles experienced by the participants of this study. Consultation contributes to quality of care in hospitals and encourages collaboration.
