Full textHow do European countries compare when it comes to child health statistics? How do different child health services, systems, and wider determinants impact long term influences for good or harm? Why do some countries seem to do better than others in safeguarding their children’s and young people’s health and wellbeing? And what can we do to make things better for children? This thesis explores some of these difficult but important issues, and despite describing some serious signals of concern about child health, offers recommendations and clear ways forward for countries to ensure healthier futures for children.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Member states of the United Nations accepted eight Millennium Development Goals in 2000. Millennium Development Goal number four addresses the improvement of child health. The purpose of goal number four is to decrease the child mortality rate by 60% for the period 1990 to 2015. South Africa is one of twelve countries where the incidence of child mortality increased during this period. Guided by the research question “What are the experiences and perceptions of mothers utilizing child health services”, a study was done. A qualitative, descriptive phenomenological methodology was applied to explore the experiences and perceptions of mothers utilizing child health services for children younger than two years. The goal of this study was to determine the experiences and perceptions of mothers utilizing child health services. The objectives were to explore their experiences and perceptions, with specific reference to the service they receive regarding: - immunization - nutrition assessment - the growth of the child - the growth chart - other underlying illnesses Ethical approval was obtained from Stellenbosch University and various health authorities. Validity was assured by adhering to the principles of trustworthiness, namely credibility, transferability, dependability, and conformability. The population for this study was mothers who utilized ten clinics in a demarcated area of Cape Town for child health services. Purposive sampling was utilized to consciously select three clinics (N =10), and at each of the clinics four mothers were purposively selected to participate. A total of seventeen mothers participated in the study. An interview guide was used to conduct interviews with participants. The researcher conducted and recorded the interviews after obtaining written informed consent from each participant. A field diary was kept for notation of observations. Data analysis involved the transcribing of digitally recorded interviews, the coding of the data, the generating of themes and sub-themes, interpretation and organization of data and the drawing of conclusions. The Modeling Role-Modeling Nursing theory of Erickson, Tomlin and Swain were utilized as conceptual theoretical framework to facilitate application to the broad population. Findings of the study indicated varied experiences. All mothers did not receive information about the RtHB or RTHC. Not all mothers developed a relationship of trust with caregivers or were afforded the respect of becoming part of the child’s health care team. According to the mothers integrated child health care services were not practised. The consequences were missed opportunities in immunization, provision of Vitamin A, absence of growth monitoring, feeding assessment and provision of nutritional advice. Hospitals and private practitioners equally did not provide immunization services or offered holistic care. Simple interventions such as oral rehydration, early recognition and treatment of diseases, immunization, growth monitoring and appropriate nutrition are not diligently offered; that could reduce the incidence of child morbidity and mortality. The following recommendations are made: determine why hospitals do not immunize children. The root causes must be addressed to change practice. Rendering of child services must happen in an integrated approach. Staff must be empowered with skills regarding procurement, in particular regarding vaccines.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In 2000 het die lidlande van die Verenigde Volke Organisasie die Millenium Ontwikkelingsdoelwitte aanvaar. Die Millenium Ontwikkelingsdoelwit nommer vier roer die kwessie van kindergesondheid aan. Die strategie om die voorkoms van kindersterftes met 60% te verminder vanaf 1990 tot 2015 is die vierde millenium doelwit. Suid Afrika is een van twaalf lande in die wêreld waar die kindersterftes vir hierdie tydperk toegeneem het. ‘n Studie is gedoen om te bepaal “Wat die ervaring en persepsies van moeders is wat van kindergesondheidsdienste gebruik maak. ‘n Kwalitatiewe, beskrywende, fenomenologiese studie is gedoen,om die ervaring en persepsies van moeders wat kinders jonger as twee jaar na klinieke geneem het, te bepaal. Die doel van die studie was om die ervaring en persepsies van moeders ten opsigte van kindergesondheidsdienste vas te stel. Spesifieke doelwitte was die bepaling van die ervaring en persepsies rondom: - immunisasiedienste - groeimonitering - voedingsvoorligting - die groeikaart - behandeling van siektes Etiese goedkeuring was verkry vanaf die Universiteit van Stellenbosch en die verskeie gesondheidsowerhede. Geldigheid van die studie is verseker deur die beginsels van geloofwaardigheid na te kom naamlik, aaneemlikheid, betroubaarheid, oordraagbaarheid en inskiklikheid. Die bevolking betreffende die studie was moeders wat kliniekdienste gebruik het vir hulle kinders in ‘n spesieke area van Kaapstad, bestaande uit tien klinieke. Drie klinieke (N=10) is doelgerig geselekter vir deelname. Vier moeders is doelgerig by elk van die drie klinieke geselekteer vir deelname. Onderhoude is met sewentien deelnemers gevoer. ‘n Onderhoudsgids is gebruik en die navorser het rekord gehou van waarnemings. Die navorser het onderhoude gevoer en opgeneem na skriftelike toestemming daarvoor van elke deelnemer verkry is. ’n Veldwerkdagboek is gehou van alle waarnemings. Data-analise het behels: digitale opnames wat woordeliks beskryf , tematies ontleed en geïnterpreteer is en volgens temas georganiseer is. Toepassing na die breër populasie is bevorder deur die gebruik van die verpleegteorie van Erickson, Tomlin en Swain. Bevindinge van die studie het getoon dat moeders verskillende ervaringe gehad het. Nie alle moeders het inligting ontvang omtrent die RtHB of RTHC nie. Nie alle moeders het vertroue in die kliniek nie en moeders word nie erken as bepalende faktore in die sorgspan nie. . Volgens die moeders is geïntegreerde gesondheidssorg nie beoefen nie. Die gevolge is dat geleenthede nie benut word om te immuniseer nie, vitamien A te verskaf, groei te kontroleer, voeding te bepaal en voedingsadvies te verskaf. Die voorraadvlakke van entstof word nie oral doeltreffend beheer nie. Hospitale en dokters beoefen nie altyd immunisering en holistiese kindergesondheidsdienste nie. Eenvoudige intervensies, wat die voorkoms van kindermorbiditeit en kindermortaliteit kan bestry, word nie verskaf nie. Voorbeelde van sulke intervensies is mondelinge rehidrasie, vroeë diagnose en behandeling van siektes, immunisering, groeimonitering en geskikte voedingsinligting. Daar word aanbeveel dat daar indringend bepaal word hoekom hospitale nie kinders immuniseer nie en dat die oorsake aangespreek word. Integrasie van dienste by klinieke moet as prioriteit gesien en geïmplimenteer word. Personeel se vaardighede betreffende beheer van voorraad moet verbeter word, veral t.o.v. entstof voorraad.

Full textThe experience of child birth occurs in all cultures and is important for the continuation of a community. Beliefs related to pregnancy and child birth though usually harmless may at times be detrimental to the health and well being of women that may practice them. The adherence to such beliefs depends on the socio cultural background of individuals and the importance they place on their cultural practices. Aim and objectives The study aimed to explore the health beliefs regarding pregnancy and childbirth of women attending the antenatal clinic at Chawama Health Center in Lusaka Zambia. The main study objectives were to determine the demographic characteristics of the women and ascertain their beliefs regarding diet, behaviour and belief in the use of herbs during pregnancy, delivery and the post natal period. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted. A 32 item questionnaire was administered to 294 women over a four week period by two research assistants, after obtaining informed consent. Results Results indicate that traditional beliefs were wide spread among the participants though few significant associations were demonstrated. Dietary beliefs that what is eaten could ix affect the progress of labor or the unborn child’s appearance or behaviour were popular. Negative behaviour such as quarrelling or infidelity was believed could lead to difficult labour or adverse outcomes. Herbs were generally believed to be useful for certain indications such as to assist labour or for ‘cleansing’ after miscarriage. Conclusion Health beliefs regarding pregnancy and child birth are an integral part of the community and to be discussed in order to have some influence on them. Continued dialogue is recommended though current clinic health education sessions and qualitative studies to explore other beliefs and myths that are arising out of new health concerns such as HIV.
