Abstract: Experience of Participation of Patients in the (Day) Inpatient Child and Adolscent Psychiatry The participation of patients in child and adolescent psychiatry is increasingly coming into focus, both due to child protection aspects and because of its effects on the success and quality of treatment. The study therefore investigated the experience of participation of patients in (day) inpatient child and adolescent psychiatry, its effect on treatment satisfaction and the connection with self-efficacy expectations. A quantitative questionnaire study was conducted using a cross-sectional design. The experience of participation and treatment satisfaction were measured using the instrument developed by Zerbe et al. (2021). To assess self-efficacy expectations, the General Self-Efficacy Expectation Scale developed by Jerusalem and Schwarzer (2003) was used. In total, data of 45 patients from the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department at the District Hospital Landshut were analyzed. The respondents were between 9 and 18 years old with an average age of 15.18 years. Regarding gender, 68.9 % of respondents stated "female", 24.4 % "male" and 6.7 % "diverse". Depending on the treatment setting and the admission modality (voluntary or emergency), children and adolescents experienced their participation differently. There was also a significant decrease in the experience of participation in the decision-making process. Patients felt well informed and perceived conversation about treatment options, but they felt significantly less involved in the decisionmaking itself. The experience of participation, especially in the decision-making process, had a significant influence on treatment satisfaction. Regarding the relationship between the three constructs of participation experience, self-efficacy expectation and treatment satisfaction, the study showed that, in addition to participation experience, self-efficacy expectation also had a significant influence on treatment satisfaction, although participation experience predicted treatment satisfaction significantly better.
