[The adaptation of children with eye diseases to treatment in the hospital].

Results of observation over 120 children with different eye diseases (60 boys and 60 girls), aged from 4 to 15 years, are analysed considering individuality of their character. By the character of adaptation to hospital conditions, all children were divided into three groups: those with good and quick adaptation, with bad adaptation, and with intermediate character of adaptation. A number of regularities have been revealed that allow to highly organize psychoprophylactic work with children in the hospital considering the character of their adaptation to hospital conditions. Recommendations are given for facilitating the children's stay of each group in the hospital in the period of treatment.
