Survey
Parents are more satisfied with established paediatricians than with clinics or with physicians of other disciplines, according to a study.
LEVERKUSEN.

At the top was the overcrowding of the waiting rooms in the pediatric practice with waiting periods of an average of one hour, even for preventive appointments. The complained 33 percent of adults. 26 percent said they had to wait more than an hour despite the child's complaints. 17 percent reported having problems changing the pediatrician, 16 percent complained that they only get screening and vaccination appointments with a lead time of many weeks.
The majority of parents think it would be good to get a certificate from the pediatrician for the employer without having to personally introduce the child. 60 percent would like that for mild infectious diseases such as colds or stomach / intestinal complaints, which are already subsiding. The proportion is particularly high in cities and single parents with 66 percent each.
According to the survey, every third schoolchild between the ages of six and ten suffers from fatigue (37 percent) and difficulty concentrating (35 percent) several times a month. In 32 percent of this age group, listlessness and lack of drive cause problems. 29 percent of parents find restlessness in their child, 28 percent fatigue or slackness. Young parents up to the age of 29 report an above-average number of such complaints of their children.
The fear that her child might get sick drives 48 percent of adults. It is far more pronounced than the fear that the child will have to grow up in a polluted environment (38 percent), and concern for financial security. (iss)
