Full textThis study was conducted to increase our understanding of children and young people’s experience of a hospital environment and to identify the salient attributes of the physical environment in their experience. There were three specific aims: to describe children and young people’s experience of a hospital environment and identify what constitutes a supportive paediatric environment; to examine the role of the physical environment in patients’ feeling of well-being; and to highlight the capacity of participatory research with children and young people to inform evidence-based paediatric design. At this stage, there has been very little healthcare design research carried out with populations of children and young people. Well-being research with children and young people in paediatric environments that identifies the potential supportive attributes in this environment is also very limited. Historically research on children’s health and well-being has been dominated by a focus on the prevalence of disorders, problems and disabilities. More recently, in response to the change to health promotion, positive attributes have been included in well-being and satisfaction measures. At this stage, there are still many fewer positive measures. Within the body of literature that exists in healthcare, healthcare design research, and well-being research, there are only a small number of participatory studies that focus on children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation, and an even smaller number that include children and young people’s experience of hospital environments. The picture that is created by the research that exists is patchy. There is a need for a more holistic understanding of children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation and of hospital environments from their own perspectives. Based on these gaps in current knowledge, two research questions were developed. The first was concerned with describing children and young people’s experience of the sociophysical environment of a paediatric hospital. The second question was concerned with understanding the role of the physical environment in children and young people’s feeling of well-being in a hospital environment. In addressing these questions, the intention was to identify attributes within the hospital setting which collectively comprise a supportive environment for children and young people and which contribute to children and young people’s feeling of well-being in a paediatric setting. The current study was conducted as an exploratory qualitative case study and carried out at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, in Sydney, Australia. Using participatory research techniques, the sequence of the study included two pilot studies and the main study. The focus was on understanding the experiences of longer-term patients of a paediatric hospital environment. In the main study 25 children and young people, aged between 9-18 years, who had been in hospital for at least a week completed semi-structured interviews in which they talked about their response to the environment of the hospital and their experience of hospitalisation. Data analysis was completed using a combination of concept mapping and thematic analysis techniques. Preliminary findings were used as the basis of a further member-checking task carried out with a further six children and young people before conclusions were reached. The findings reveal that children and young people’s experience of a paediatric setting involves a number of major areas of influence including their personal situation, their social experience, their interaction with the physical environment, opportunities and characteristics of the organisation, and the effect of time. The findings also reveal that children’s feeling of well-being within this experience is linked to their ability to feel comfortable in the environment, to maintain a positive state of mind, and to remain positively engaged with the experience and the environment. This research reveals a dynamic relationship between children and young people and a paediatric environment that children and young people actively manage and shape. It reveals some of the key considerations in children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation. It also reveals why these considerations are important and what role they play in patients’ experience and feeling of well-being. These findings provide the basis for further research and they have implications for future design and research practice in paediatric healthcare settings.

This dissertation studies the delivery of health care to street children. ft investigates the existing street children's facilities and the health system in Ang of a in order to determine an appropriate type of health facilities for the special health needs of these children. The study was based on a review of bibliographic material on street children and related subjects. The findings from this review were tested through a series of interviews with professionals working with street children in Angola and with ~treet children randomly selected from shelters and on the streets in Luanda. The questionnaires were designed for evaluation of the street children's facilities, the health system and to determine street children's preferences and attitudes towards formal institutions in a context where th'e main cause of family disintegration was war. The study concluded that street children's health needs in Angola would be better catered for through independent primary health centres provided with partial in-patient services (temporary sf eeping and eating facilities for children under medical care). These centres would serve mainly children with no access to shelters and those living in shelters without health centres. The study formulates guidelines and presents a design example of the type offacifity proposed.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Medical social workers working in children's wards are more prone to burnout because of the stressful nature of their work. Because social work requires emotional involvement, it is not uncommon for workers to be emotionally drained and frustrated, which might lead to burnout. Stress amongst social workers is an important issue, as a stressed workforce can negatively affect the quality of service. This study was undertaken with the aim of providing guidelines for handling stress amongst medical social workers working in children's wards, in order to promote job satisfaction and enhance work performance. Chronically ill children who are hospitalised, often suffer from behavioural and emotional problems that require social work intervention, which in turn puts pressure on the social worker. Concurrent stressors on the children and their families may exhaust their normal coping capacity and further complicate the child's adaptation to hospitalisation. The role of the medical social worker is to provide social support to the child and the family in order to promote positive coping in the child during and after hospital treatment. The demands put on the social worker by hospitalised children can cause stress, which could adversely affect their work performance and job satisfaction. Social workers therefore, have to carefully select an appropriate practice framework when dealing with hospitalised children. This entails the selection of appropriate perspectives, theories and models to ensure effective intervention. These frameworks provide structure and directive to social work intervention, and combined with supervision, can promote job satisfaction amongst medical social workers. The study was undertaken amongst medical social workers working in paediatric wards within hospitals in the Cape Metropolitan area. The empirical study focused on an investigation of factors, which might contribute to the experience of burnout amongst the social workers. Work-related stressors playa major role in increasing the likelihood of burnout amongst social workers. If these stressors are not properly dealt with they might lead to burnout amongst medical social workers, which will have a direct bearing on the child's benefit from medical services. A combination of both organisationally based and individually based strategies should be implemented in order to overcome job-related stress and to prevent burnout.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Mediese maatskaplike werkers wat in kindersale werk, is meer geneig tot uitbranding as gevolg van die stresvolle aard van hulle werk. Maatskaplike werk vereis emosionele betrokkenheid. Dit is dus nie ongewoon vir maatskaplike werkers om emosioneel gedreineerd en gefrustreerd te voel nie. Laasgenoemde is kenmerke van uitbranding. Oormatige stres by maatskaplike werkers kan 'n negatiewe uitwerking op die kwaliteit van hul dienslewering hê. Hierdie navorsingstudie was onderneem met die oog op die daarstelling van riglyne vir die hantering van stres by mediese maatskaplike werkers, wat in kindersale werk om sodoende werkstevredenheid en -verrigting te bevorder. Kroniese siek kinders wat gehospitaliseer word, presenteer dikwels met gedrags- en emosionele probleme wat uiteraard tydens intervensie addisionele druk op die maatskaplike werker plaas. Gepaardgaande stressors kan daartoe lei dat pasiënte en hul gesinne afwyk van hul normale funksionering wat weer die pasiënt se hanteringsvermoë en aanpassing by die hospitaalopset belemmer. Die rol van die mediese maatskaplike werker is om sosiale ondersteuning aan bogenoemde partye te gee ten einde positiewe hanteringsvermoë tydens en na mediese behandeling, by pasiënte te vestig. Die eise wat deur pasiënte aan maatskaplike werkers gestel word kan stres veroorsaak wat hul werksverrigtinge en tevredenheid negatief kan affekteer. Maatskaplike werkers moet dus versigtig te werk gaan in die keuse van 'n gepaste praktykraamwerk vir intervensie ten opsigte van gehospitaliseerde kinders. 'n Verantwoordbare keuse van perspektiewe, teorieë en modelle lê ten grondslag van effektiewe maatskaplike werk intervensie. Hierdie raamwerke bied struktuur en rigting aan maatskaplike werk intervensie. Laasgenoemde, tesame met Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za superviste kan werkstevredenheid onder mediese maatskaplike werkers bevorder. Stressors wat met werk verband hou, speel 'n groot rol in die toename van uitbranding onder mediese maatskaplike werkers. Indien hierdie stressors nie effektief hanteer word nie, kan dit tot uitbranding by maatskaplike werkers ly wat dan weer die pasiënt se benutting van mediese dienste negatief beïnvloed. Die ondersoekgroep het bestaan uit tien mediese maatskaplike werkers wat werksaam was in paediatriese sale in hospitale binne die Kaapse Metropool. Tydens 'n empiriese ondersoek is gefokus op faktore wat moontlik aanleiding kan gee tot die uitbranding van maatskaplike werkers. Dit word dus aanbeveel dat 'n kombinasie van strategieë van beide die orgarusaste en die persoon geïmplementeer moet word om werksverwante stres te oorkom en dus uitbranding by mediese maatskaplike werkers te voorkom.

This aim of this study was to understand the significance that teachers in a Hospital Class, at a children's hospital in São Paulo, give to their work. The term Hospital Class is recognized by the Ministry of Education and Sport s (MEC/ SEESP) Bureau for Special Education, and refers to pedagogic-educational care for children and young people, which takes place in health-care environments, whether in cases of hospitalization, daily or weekly outpatient services or full mental health treatment. Three teachers who have worked in Hospital Classes at a public children s hospital for at least a year took place in this research. Data were collected through semistructured interviews and analyzed from a qualitative approach perspective, by analyzing content. Data was collected at the hospital at a time and place chosen by the participants. After examining the data and the purpose of the study, three main themes were identified: the importance that the participants attach to their work; prospects for the future of the participants, and the participants educational background. The analysis showed that the teachers believe their work has a role that goes beyond that of a mere teacher. However, the participants reported feeling satisfied and recognized for the duties they perform, despite finding it difficult to cope with the socioeconomic status of patients and with possible deaths. The deaths of child patients affect their professional, personal and family lives, which probably occurs because of the lack of specific training, interdisciplinary work and psychological support. The results demonstrate that there is a need for specific preparation for working in a hospital environment and such individuals should be included in the health care team
O presente trabalho teve por objetivo compreender o significado que as professoras da Classe Hospitalar, de um hospital público infantil de São Paulo, atribuem ao seu trabalho. O termo Classe Hospitalar é reconhecido pela Secretaria de Educação Especial do Ministério da Educação e do Desporto (MEC/SEESP), e refere-se ao atendimento pedagógico-educacional a crianças e jovens, que ocorre em ambientes de tratamento de saúde, tanto em circunstância de internação como em atendimento em hospital-dia e hospital-semana ou em serviços de atenção integral à saúde mental. Participaram desta pesquisa três professoras que atuam em Classes Hospitalar de um hospital público infantil, a pelo menos um ano. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas e analisados a partir da perspectiva da abordagem qualitativa, por meio da análise de conteúdo. A coleta de dados foi realizada na instituição hospitalar em local e horário definidos pelas participantes. A partir dos dados coletados e do objetivo da pesquisa, foram definidos três núcleos temáticos: significado atribuídos ao trabalho pelas participantes; perspectivas de futuro das participantes; e contexto histórico de formação das participantes. A análise indicou que as professoras atribuem ao seu trabalho uma função que extrapola o papel de professor. Entretanto, as participantes relatam sentirem-se gratificadas e reconhecidas pela função que exercem, apesar de demonstrarem dificuldades em lidar com a situação socioeconômica dos pacientes e com possíveis óbitos. Em relação ao óbito de crianças, relatam afetá-las nas esferas profissionais, pessoais e familiares, o que provavelmente ocorre devido à falta de formação específica, à ausência de um trabalho interdisciplinar e de um serviço de apoio psicológico. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de preparo específico para atuar no ambiente hospitalar e de incluir tais profissionais na equipe de saúde

Full texts Hospital (RXH) for the past twenty years, no study had been undertaken to determine the age, gender, number of patients per year, aetiology, patterns, and management of maxillofacial fractures at this institution. A retrospective records based study was undertaken to determine these features. This study accessed the records of patients seen at the trauma unit at RXH, from 1994 to 2003 inclusive, and referred for maxillofacial attention.
One-hundred-and-five patient records were obtained and analyzed using the SPSS statistic package. One-hundred-and-twenty-seven fractures were recorded in one hundred and five patients. The age of the patients ranged from one to thirteen. Sixty-five male and forty female patients were seen. Dentoalveolar fractures were the most common fracture seen in both the midface and mandible. Midface fractures were more common than mandibular fractures. Falls, followed by motor vehicle accidents, were the most common cause of facial fractures. Most fractures were successfully managed by closed procedures. At this institution, nasal and frontal fractures have surprisingly little or no input from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

Full textHaemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare haematological disorder in children. However, this is probably an underestimation due to the difficulty in diagnosing the disease. HLH is characterized clinically by persistent fevers, organomegaly, cytopaenias and typical biochemical derangements viz. hypertriglyceridaemia, hyperferritinaemia and hypofibrinogenaemia. Other associated findings include decreased natural killer cell (NKC) function and raised soluble CD 25. The exact pathophysiology of HLH is not completely understood but involves a trigger (often an infection) which sets off an uncontrolled inflammatory cascade, characterized by an increase in hyperactivated macrophages and T lymphocytes which leads to increased production of cytokines, alongside reduced cellular cytotoxicity as a result of reduced or absent NKC function.

Full textEste texto de dissertação tem como tema a Pedagogia Hospitalar. A partir deste, são discutidos aspectos abrangentes da humanização hospitalar: políticas, concepções da criança ativa, olhar dos profissionais, brinquedoteca. Trago a questão de como a política de humanização é imersa no hospital e quais as representações da equipe de saúde a respeito das atividades pedagógicas que acontecem no hospital com um viés humanizador. Apresento como objetivo geral analisar a perspectiva da humanização hospitalar no enfoque da legislação e suas interfaces com o trabalho pedagógico. Os objetivos específicos, a fim de responder tal questionamento são os seguintes: analisar a perspectiva da humanização hospitalar defendida na Política de Humanização Hospitalar; analisar a prática pedagógica sob o olhar da perspectiva da humanização hospitalar; discutir aspectos teóricos sobre a criança hospitalizada a partir da Sociologia da Infância; identificar as representações da equipe de saúde a respeito das atividades pedagógicas realizadas com o público infantil hospitalizado. Esta pesquisa é classificada como uma pesquisa qualitativa com caráter bibliográfico, documental e utilizando também entrevistas. Os documentos discutidos são a Política Nacional de Humanização e o programa que antecedeu tal política, o Programa Nacional de Humanização da Assistência Hospitalar, assim como leis que viabilizam o atendimento destinado à criança hospitalizada como sujeito de potencialidades sociais. As entrevistas serviram de suporte para que os profissionais da saúde expressassem seus pensamentos sobre o trabalho pedagógico realizado com as crianças hospitalizadas. O trabalho identificou um respaldo legal conciso para a atuação do pedagogo no hospital por meio de atividades pedagógicas, assim como situou a realidade da criança hospitalizada, como agente social, o que traz à tona suas potencialidades. Para concluir, as informações coletadas aproximaram os olhares dos médicos entrevistados com a perspectiva do trabalho pedagógico no hospital.

Resumo: No transporte, por ambulâncias, as crianças estão expostas a riscos fatais ao serem transportadas em macas de adultos as quais não atendem a antropometria infantil. A situação é agravada ao considerar o fato das ambulâncias se locomoverem em altas velocidades e necessitarem frequentemente reduzi-las de modo abrupto. Neste cenário, buscou-se projetar, construir e testar um protótipo de maca com um sistema de retenção eficaz para transportes emergenciais de crianças. O diferencial do projeto em relação às outras macas infantis, existentes no mercado internacional, está na versatilidade de realizar transportes tanto em ambulâncias quanto em áreas de resgate de difícil acesso veicular. O projeto de maca infantil possibilita atender uma ampla gama de pacientes de pequeno porte desde crianças na faixa etária de 1 (um) ano até 10 (dez) anos de idade. Trata-se de uma maca desenvolvida para rápido manuseio e armazenagem por ser dobrável e de fácil instalação sobre qualquer maca de adulto normatizada pela ABNT. O principal fator de segurança está vinculado ao sistema de retenção regulável, com facilidade de rápida fixação e remoção da criança. Foram realizados testes de impacto, com velocidade aproximada de 18 (dezoito) km/h, utilizando a maca de adulto e a maca infantil. O manequim com massa de 22 kg, representativo de uma criança de 6 (seis) anos de idade, foi instalado nas posições sentado e deitado. Os dados coletados, via um programa computacional Kinovea adequado para análise de biomecânica, permitiram estimar o deslocamento do manequim com grande precisão. Utilizou-se um aplicativo instalado em um celular com sistema operacional Android para registrar as desacelerações ocorridas no momento do impacto. A maca infantil apresentou uma retenção significativamente superior à obtida com a maca de adulto, tanto no deslocamento da cabeça quanto do tronco do manequim. Na posição deitado, o manequim chegou a ser ejetado para fora da maca, o que nunca ocorreu utilizando a maca infantil. Os testes realizados com o protótipo da maca validaram o projeto e a solução construtiva que estão vinculados a uma patente a ser depositada no Brasil
Abstract: In transportation, for ambulances, children are exposed to fatal risks by transported in adult gurneys that are not adapted to child anthropometry. The situation is escalated when considering the fact that the ambulances move up in high speeds and with frequently need to reduce abruptly velocity. In this field, we tried to design, build and test a prototype gurney with an effective restraint system for emergency transport children. The differential of the project regards to other children gurneys that exist in the international market; its versatility to perform both transport in ambulances and possible land rescue. Child gurney enables a wide range of small patients from children with one (1) until ten (10) years old, designed for fast handling and storage by be foldable and easy to install on any adult gurney standardized by ABNT. The main safety factor is linked to the adjustable retention system with facility for rapid attachment and the child's removal. Impact tests were performed, with an approximate speed of 18 (twenty) km / h, using the adult gurney and child gurney. The dummy with mass 22 kg, representing a child with 6 (six) years old, was installed in sitting and lying positions. Data collected via a computer program Kinovea suitable for biomechanical analysis, allowed to estimate displacement of the dummy with great precision. It was used a smartphone based on Android operational system to register decelerations occurred on impact. Child gurney had a higher retention regarding to adult gurney both the displacement of the head when the dummy torso restraint. In two teste with lying position, the dummy was ejected out of the gurney, fact that had never happened with child gurney. Tests conducted with the prototype gurney validated the project and the constructive solution that are bind to a patent to will be implanted in Brazil

Full textIntroduction Childhood anaemia is a major public health problem, iron deficiency being most common. WHO estimates anaemia to occur in 24.1% of pre-school South African children. Our study describes prevalence and management of anaemia in children aged 6 - 36 months presenting to a children's hospital. Methods In a retrospective cross-sectional study, laboratory data were used to estimate prevalence of anaemia in children aged 6 - 36 month presenting to medical emergency or ambulatory services of Red Cross Children's Hospital in 2012. A random sample of 50% of anaemic children was sampled for detailed review. Results 2661 subjects were included. Anaemia (H b < 10.5) was found in 40.8 % (1088/2661. Children presenting to medical emergency had a higher prevalence of anaemia compared to those presenting to ambulatory services ( 42.7% vs. 34.9 % ; p=0.001 ). Anaemia prevalence increased with decreasing age with RR 1.25 (95% CI 1.10 - 1.43) and RR 1.15 (95% CI 1.02 - 1.31) in children aged 6 - 11 months and 12 - 23 months respectively compared to children aged 24 - 36 months. Microcytosis was found in 51.3% (558/1088) of anaemic children and in 19.3% (n=303/1573) of children without anaemia ; p<0.001 Folders were reviewed i n 502 children with anaemia , 36.1% had mild anaemia (Hb 10 - 10.5g/dl), while moderate ( Hb 8 - 10 g/dl ) and severe ( Hb < 8 g/dl ) anaemia was found in 52.5% and 11.4% respectively. Breastfeeding for longer than six months was associated with higher risk of microcytic anaemia [RR 1.26 (95%CI 1.08 - 1.47)]. Only 12.2 % (31 /254) of children with microcytic anaemia received adequate iron therapy, 50.0 % (127/254) received no iron therapy. Conclusions Prevalence of anaemia in children presenting to hospital is higher than predicted for well children in South Africa. The risk is higher in younger and acutely sick children. Prolonged breasting is associated with increased risk of microcytosis. Most children with suspected iron deficiency anaemia did not receive appropriate treatment.
