Using methods derived from post occupancy evaluation and ethnography, the visual and physical environmental characteristics of eighteen daycare centres were studied and inventorized. The attitudes, perceptions and ideologies of the directors and staffs to these learning environments and arts activities were also ascertained. The centres were located in Edmonton, Alberta, and both private and public centres were studied. The children attending these centres came from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds. The characteristics were recorded in an informal manner, through field notes, photographs and a pre-coded checklist which rated the quality of the items. From this, three subcategories of quality were derived; standard, below standard and above standard. The descriptive data indicated that the majority of the components of the centres constitute a standard quality, that centres have hard, institutional like qualities and that adult standards predominate. Analysis of 38 questionnaires returned from the directors and staff of the centres and evidence from the data and descriptive material, revealed there was a significant lack of knowledge or concern for the child's intrinsic needs, and the role of the visual and physical environment in learning. Their concern within the the learning environment was primarily for the physical aspects and changes to those aspects and arts activities were made according to adult standards. Apparent in the data was an adult product oriented approach to arts activities. What is recommended in this study is the need for early childhood educators to recognize the importance of the visual and physical environment to learning, and the role arts activities play in the total development of a pre-school child. Further recommendations include the investigation of training programmes for day care personnel, and the development of, through co-operation with arts educators, artists and architects, environmental alternatives for learning.

As the need for community care increases, complete and up-to-date information about organizational structure is crucial to making appropriate decisions about the expansion of adult day services. The absence of uniform national policies results in states and communities being relegated to balancing limited funds with the demand for adult day services, and in many areas, the lack of adult day care centers altogether. This study provides an overview of the types of state reimbursement, the availability of different funding sources, and the utilization of the sources in various states.

The utilization of center-based child care services by working and student parents has increased dramatically over the last two decades, and has been accompanied by an equally strong interest, among the public and researchers alike, in the establishment and maintenance of quality caregiving in center-based care. This study addresses the leadership characteristics of administrators of quality child care centers. The intent of the study is to add to the existing knowledge concerning the role that the child care center administrator has in maintaining the delivery of high quality child care by the teaching-caregiving staff. Two factors were investigated: the leadership style of the administrator; and the organizational climate of the center, which is both directly and indirectly influenced by the administrator. Four child care centers were selected as the cases to be examined. The information about leadership style and organization climate was gathered through the use of semi-structured interviews with the administrators, the Leadership Style Assessment Tool, the Early Childhood Work Environment Survey, and SYMLOG Group Average Field Diagrams. From this study, the leadership characteristics that the administrators of high quality child care centers shared in common were that they employed a balanced leadership style that utilized different approaches depending on the situation. The administrators in this study chose a mostly female approach to their job which seemed to create very healthy, responsive, and supportive work environments for the teacher-caregivers. The work environments that these leaders have created tend to unify the staff members who work there in a positive direction. These high quality child care centers are, in one word, friendly. The leaders of these provide staff with strong supervisor support, opportunities for professional growth, and an appropriate physical setting in which to do their work. These factors are strongly related to findings about high quality early childhood education in the research, and this study has provided additional support for these findings.

In my research, I examined abandonment fears in persons with Alzheimer's disease at the Salem Veterans Affairs adult day care center. I observed fifty hours at the center, and conducted open-ended interviews with two of the participants and their respective caregivers. These two participants (Ellen and Opel) at the center expressed abandonment fears much more frequently than any of the other participants. I found that most of the time, these two women would express their abandonment fears in the form of repetitive questions about going home. Staff used two different methods to deal with the problem: 'reassurance by fact' and redirection. The staff was divided as to the efficacy of their methods and whether more frequent attendance would help Ellen and Opel to adjust to the center. Some participants were bothered by the their constant questions, while others were not. Using an existing attachment questionnaire, Ellen's daughter classified her mother as having an avoidant attachment style, but Opel's daughter classified her mother as having secure attachment. Although Ellen's behavior at the center fit with the description of a person with avoidant attachment (e.g., extreme self-reliance, activity disturbance), Opel's fearful nature did not suggest that she had a secure attachment style as her daughter believed.

This study examined a neglected area in long term care and adult day care research: staff development. The specific purposes of this study were to describe the provision of a comprehensive staff development program in adult day care centers in Virginia in order to (a) differentiate those centers providing only the minimum required inservice training from those centers providing more comprehensive staff development programs and (b) define what meaning is placed upon staff education programs by center administrators.

A mail survey design was used for this study. The questionnaire developed for the study has three sections: (a) center characteristics, (b) staff characteristics, and (c) the meaning of staff development. Quantitative analysis was conducted on the first two sections while qualitative analysis was used to examine the final section. A conceptual model for adult day care staff development programs was also developed for the study. The model was used to compare the staff development programs across adult day care centers in Virginia. The sample included all licensed adult day care center administrators in Virginia (n=43). The total response rate for this survey was 88%.

Results were discussed in terms of the provision of staff development programs, as well as the meaning that was placed on staff development by the responding center administrators. The results showed that much importance is placed upon staff development programs by the center administrators and they follow through with this by providing a well rounded staff development program for their staff.

The studies in the thesis were derived from a program of research focused on centre-based child care in Australia. The studies constituted an ecological analysis as they examined proximal and distal factors which have the potential to affect children's developmental opportunities (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). The project was conducted in thirty-two child care centres located in south-east Queensland. Participants in the research included staff members at the centres, families using the centres and their children. The first study described the personal and professional characteristics of one hundred and forty-four child care workers, as well as their job satisfaction and job commitment. Factors impinging on the stability of care afforded to children were examined, specifically child care workers' intentions to leave their current position and actual staff turnover at a twelve month follow-up. This is an ecosystem analysis (Bronfenbrenner & Crouter, 1983), as it examined the world of work for carers; a setting not directly involving the developing child, but which has implications for children's experiences. Staff job satisfaction was focused on working with children and other adults, including parents and colleagues. Involvement with children was reported as being the most rewarding aspect of the work. This intrinsic satisfaction was enough to sustain caregivers' efforts to maintain their employment in child care programs. It was found that, while improving working conditions may help to reduce turnover, it is likely that moderate turnover rates will remain as child care staff work in relatively small centres and they leave in order to improve career prospects. Departure from a child care job appeared to be as much about improving career opportunities or changing personal circumstances, as it was about poor wages and working conditions. In the second study, factors that influence maternal satisfaction with child care arrangements were examined. The focus included examination of the nature and qualities of parental interaction with staff. This was a mesosystem analysis (Bronfenbrenner & Crouter, 1983), as it considered the links between family and child care settings. Two hundred and twenty-two questionnaires were returned from mothers whose children were enrolled in the participating centres. It was found that maternal satisfaction with child care encompassed the domains of child-centred and parent-centred satisfaction. The nature and range of responses in the quantitative and qualitative data indicated that these parents were genuinely satisfied with their children's care. In the prediction of maternal satisfaction with child care, single parents, mothers with high role satisfaction, and mothers who were satisfied with the frequency of staff contact and degree of supportive communication had higher levels of satisfaction with their child care arrangements. The third study described the structural and process variations within child care programs and examined program differences for compliance with regulations and differences by profit status of the centre, as a microsystem analysis (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). Observations were made in eighty-three programs which served children from two to five years. The results of the study affirmed beliefs that nonprofit centres are superior in the quality of care provided, although this was not to a level which meant that the care in for-profit centres was inadequate. Regulation of structural features of child care programs, per se, did not guarantee higher quality child care as measured by global or process indicators. The final study represented an integration of a range of influences in child care and family settings which may impact on development. Features of child care programs which predict children's social and cognitive development, while taking into account child and family characteristics, were identified. Results were consistent with other research findings which show that child and family characteristics and child care quality predict children's development. Child care quality was more important to the prediction of social development, while family factors appeared to be more predictive of cognitive/language development. An influential variable predictive of development was the period of time which the child had been in the centre. This highlighted the importance of the stability of child care arrangements. Child care quality features which had most influence were global ratings of the qualities of the program environment. However, results need to be interpreted cautiously as the explained variance in the predictive models developed was low. The results of these studies are discussed in terms of the implications for practice and future research. Considerations for an expanded view of ecological approaches to child care research are outlined. Issues discussed include the need to generate child care research which is relevant to social policy development, the implications of market driven policies for child care services, professionalism and professionalisation of child care work, and the need to reconceptualise child care research when the goal is to develop greater theoretical understanding about child care environments and developmental processes.

An interactional model of the socialization process was used to investigate how children develop social competence in the day care center. Socialization is a multimodal process through which messages about how to behave in socially appropriate ways are communicated to children through several modes of communication. The interactional model describes one mode of socialization--the socialization event. Socialization events are interpersonal interactions in which the appropriateness of one or more interactants is explicitly discussed. During such events, socialization agents call upon their repertoires of interactional strategies and linguistic routines to accomplish culturally defined goals of socialization. Over six hundred socialization events were recorded in two day care centers which served different ethnic groups. Research with Anglo and Mexican-American populations revealed that cultural values and educational philosophies affected the way social interaction was organized and the types of socialization events found in the day care centers. Statistical analyses of the socialization events recorded in the two centers revealed significant differences in the ways the socialization process was organized in them. In both centers, there were gender differences in the socialization of individual children. At the Anglo center, emphasis was placed on the socialization of individual boys, while socialization in the Mexican-American center was concerned primarily with groups of children. Differences in the behavior of the teachers at the two centers during socialization events were found to be related to their ethnic background and philosophies of education. Contextual variation in socialization events was also found in the two centers. At the Mexican-American center, significant differences were found in socialization during academic and non-academic contexts. In the Anglo center, contextual variation was attributed to differences in the size of the group of children involved in the activity and the participant structure used to organize interaction during the activity. The results of these analyses indicated that the interactional model of socialization offers insight into both intracultural and cross-cultural variation in the socialization process.

Data gathered from Tyler, Texas, the University of North Texas, and the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH) were used to compare children from commercial, home, church, and university based day care with children not attending day care. The research group, comprised of children attending day care (N=142), were located using non-probability sampling; those not in day care (the control group) came from the NSFH (N=1775). Data from the research group were weighted to match the control group. The independent and control variables included the child's age, length of time in day care, intellectual functioning; the parent's marital status and social class; the day care's staff to child ratio and the staff's training. All data, except that pertaining to the facility itself, were gathered from the children's parents using a self-report questionnaire. The remaining data were gathered through personal interview by the researcher. The dependent variable was an index of emotional and behavioral problems reported for the child. Overall, children who attended day care had only slightly more problems reported than those who did had not attended day care. When each center was examined separately, the children in home centers had the greatest number of problems, followed by the commercial centers and university center, with children from the church centers scoring the lowest. In contrast to earlier research, intellectual functioning was not enhanced by the day care experience. While the staff's training had a statistically significant relationship to the children's well-being, no relationship was found for the staff to child ratio. Further research on the impact of other characteristics of each type of day care is recommended.

The purpose of this study was; (a) to describe the current situation of child care provision in Singapore; (b) to define the meaning of leadership and the responsibilities involved in effective leadership in a child care setting; and (c) to investigate and describe the leadership roles that child care centre supervisors need to perform in the day to day running of their centres from the perspective of the child care supervisors. A total of 15 supervisors from the private sector were interviewed in-depth. They were asked to describe all facets of their leadership roles in their centres. The results of this study suggest strongly that the child care centre supervisors are relatively young and inexperienced. Most of them have very little training in management and leadership skills. Many have acquired management and leadership knowledge through trial and error. Therefore, more systematic and effective training needs to be employed before most of them can become effective leaders in the child care profession.

This thesis explores the initiatives possible for corporations interested in providing child care services to their employees. It also attempts to explain why corporations are becoming increasingly interested in providing this benefit to employees.A needs assessment survey was designed to discover the child care related needs of employees and to determine how child care responsibilities impact the work environment. An exploratory study was conducted of a sample of employees (N=127) at General Telephone in Fort Wayne, Indiana.Most employees, parents and non-parents, in this sample believed that child care responsibilities adversely affected productivity within their company. They also felt that company-sponsored child care assistance could improve productivity. Using the chi-square test of significance, child care responsibilities were significantly related to increased rates of absenteeism, work interruptions and turnover. There was substantial interest among employees in a corporate sponsored child care center and/or financial assistance to reduce the cost of child care expenses.

Pastaraisiais metais Lietuvoje buvo galima stebėti ir itin spartų nevyriausybinių organizacijų vaikų ir jaunimo dienos centrų gausėjimą. Tokį reiškinį, mūsų nuomone, galėjo įtakoti faktas, jog daugumoje savivaldybių buvo pradėta vykdyti Nacionalinė nevyriausybinių organizacijų vaikų dienos centrų 2002-2004 programa, kurios tąsa- Nacionalinė vaikų dienos centrų 2005-2007 metų programa ir 2008-2012 metų programa. NVO vaikų ir jaunimo dienos centrai, jų veikla, steigimo ypatumai yra mažai nagrinėti Lietuvos autorių, sociologų, mokslininkų tarpe. Šiuo darbu buvo siekiama teoriškai ir empyriškai pagrįsti vaikų ir jaunimo dienos centro veiklos modelį Lietuvoje. Užsibrėžto tikslo atskleidimui buvo siekta: išanalizuoti NVO vaikų ir jaunimo dienos centrų steigimo ir veiklos vykdymo teisinį reguliavimą; apibrėžti NVO vaikų ir jaunimo dienos centrų susikūrimo prielaidas pasaulyje ir Lietuvoje; atlikti Lietuvos NVO vaikų ir jaunimo dienos centrų PEST ir SWOT analizes; apibrėžti galimą NVO vaikų ir jaunimo dienos centro veikos modelį.

This program has a continuation – National child daycare centers 2005-2007 year and 2008-2012 year programs. NGO child and youth daycare centers, their activieties and establishment specificity has never been deeply examined by Lithuanian authors, socialogists or scientists. This work is done to reach theoretical and epyrical validity for Lithuanian NGO child and youth daycare centers activities model. To acomplish this task we tried to achive: to examine NGO child and youth daycare centers establishment and activities legal regulations; to define NGO child and youth daycare centers establishment premises; to cary out NGO child and youth daycare centers PEST and SWOT analysis; to carry out NGO child and youth daycare centers directors and experts interview (to adapt expert evaluation method). The research empirically based theoretical model of NGO child and youth daycare centers, which was prepared and presented by the author.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Little Office (TLO) is a proposed start-up that will enter the childcare industry as a provider of on-site day-care at office parks. The unique service offering that TLO will propose to the market is on-site day-care which will not only serve the employers in question, but also their employees. TLO offers organisations the opportunity to address employee productivity related to childcare, as well as to attract and retain skills, while being able to outsource the actual day-care function, which is unrelated to their core business. The service offering to the children and their parents will include a focus on educational, social, physical and emotional development. Market trend analysis indicates an increase in demand for day-care. Combined with the fact that companies are ramping up efforts to attract and retain employees, this results in a situation where the market size and market trends indicate significant opportunities for TLO. Competition is present but due to the size of the market and the core differences in the business model presented by TLO the threat of competition is not fierce. The strategy has been developed around the market analysis and by taking into account the opportunities and threats that exist for TLO. TLO’s strategy therefore serves to differentiate it from the rest of the market in terms of location of centres as well as primary target customers. Coupled with the research evidence of positive outcomes on employee performance, this suggests the concept will be welcomed by new economy organisations. The marketing strategy will aim at large businesses, office parks and government institutions. TLO will present custom feasibility studies to identified customers to establish whether the business is feasible in terms of space, number of employees with children in the organisation, requirements by parents etc. TLO’s strategy is to develop not only core service offerings but also distinctive competencies such as a lower child to carer ratio and high quality, cutting edge and innovative childcare. The various branches of TLO will be run by a central administrative hub, where most of the costs will initially be incurred. This centralised office will be run by the owner and would require administrative and qualified social worker staff. Each branch will require qualified educational staff in line with the number of children per branch. Due to the regulatory requirements inherent in the childcare industry, TLO will base their business operations around achieving compliance excellence in their business. In addition, a continuous evaluation of childcare sciences and re-evaluation of TLO’s service offering will ensure that the latest developments in childcare are addressed and thus TLO remains competitive and progressive. The business model is low risk and provides positive operating cash flow from year three. Through partnering with labour brokers and the use of intelligent placement strategies, TLO will ensure that they have the correct staff in the correct place. Combined with continual audits of performance, TLO will turn the human resources risk into a competitive advantage. The main objectives for the first three years of operation are:  To open four branches averaging 20 children per branch within the first year;  To increase the number of clients served by 100% in Year 2 and again in Year 3; and  To develop a sustainable, profitable, start-up business.

This research study was designed to evaluate whether or not Gestalt therapy approaches could be used effectively when intervening with aggressive acts in a day care setting. Five focus children were observed at timed intervals as to whether or not they were aggressive, how the caretaker intervened, and how the children responded to the caretaker intervention. After a baseline of aggressive acts was established, caretakers were trained to use Gestalt therapy intervention methods. Comparisons were made to establish whether there were fewer aggressive acts after Gestalt therapy intervention methods were used and if the children responded more positively to these intervention methods. This study suggests that Gestalt therapy intervention methods could be used in a day care setting to effectively deal with childrenâ s aggression.

Bibliography: leaves 265-271.
The study was designed to investigate the structure and function of informal day care provision for pre-school children in Khayelitsha, but the inquiry succeeded in generating information beyond the original assignment. Data was gathered from interviews with active in the day care field and from local agencies meetings with residents in Khayelitsha, as well as from a field study carried out in Khayelitsha. A review of international and local literature was also undertaken. A brief history of black settlement in the Western Cape and an examination of their socio-cultural environment provided the necessary backdrop for the study. The field study involved systematic selection of 200 houses in Khayelitsha. Respondents completed a questionnaire administered by the investigator. The questionnaire furnished information on the use of day care and produced a profile of day carers and the services they offered. A similar questionnaire was used to collect information from the pre-school centre. Analysis of the data revealed that child rearing practices differed from those of technologically advanced societies, but they were not deficient! The findings demonstrated that parents preferred day care in the home setting to that of the school setting. The pattern of day care services accentuates the importance of mutual aid and kinship and social networks in the community. Day care arrangements tended to be stable and were provided predominantly by relatives, friends and neighbours. The frequency with which day care services were required, corresponded to the work commitments of the parents, and usually involved overnight care. The pre-school centre operated during the weekdays from 7.30 am to 4.30 pm, with after-school care frequently undertaken by older siblings. The findings reveal that day carers function as surrogate mothers and incorporate the children into their families. The data collected with regard to suitability of the service offered, relates to physical needs, emotional needs, discipline and promoting readiness for the future, and emphasizes the universal poverty that abounds in the area, but simultaneously highlights the importance of traditions and the resourcefulness of the people in transcending the culture of poverty and providing an enriching environment for the children. The recommendations draw attention to the need for finance, training and supportive services, but recognises the justified resistance of the community to initiatives from the State.

This thesis reports a phenomenological study of the lived experiences of six female beginning directors of Queensland child care centres. The perspectives of the participants were shared with the researcher over a five-month period through interviews, synergetic focus groups and drawings. Their stories revealed leaders inprocess who, being faced with new contexts, were forced to reconsider values and beliefs about themselves and the meaning of leadership. They described themselves as jugglers of multiple roles and relationships which often seemed overwhelming, particularly within time constraints. Their stories, however, reveal resilient women who variously struggled, coped, coped competently and were transformed through their experiences. Self-awareness is, of essence, an individual self-directed journey. The study presents strategies to provide safe and secure situations for shared and individual exploration of self. This thesis argues that we need to reconceptualise leadership in terms of time and in dispelling delusions of goodness in leaders and followers. It argues that, for beginning directors to 'find themselves', as one participant described the process, they need safe and secure situations that support the self-awareness journey necessary to navigate their new contexts as leaders. This, in turn, stands to support higher levels of authenticity, self-esteem, motivation, and resilience for the individual, as well as increased trust within the organisation. The study presents a model for supporting beginning leaders toward resilience and authenticity. It is based on the essentialness of self-awareness to becoming a leader. Moreover, the study has implications for the public good as it informs policy and legislation governing early childhood centres in Queensland and early childhood training courses. Implications for the private good involve supporting beginning directors toward a greater understanding of their multiple roles, and, themselves within those roles.

Day care centers and schools are important environments for children, but few epidemiological studies exist from these environments. Mould, dampness, fungal DNA and allergens levels in these environments and respiratory health effects in school children were investigated in this thesis. In the day care centers studies, Allergen Avoidance Day care Centers (AADCs) and Ordinary Day care Centers were included. One third of the Swedish day care centers had a history of dampness or mould growth. Total fungal DNA levels were positively associated with risk construction buildings, reported dampness/moulds, rotating heat exchangers, linoleum floors and allergens (cat, dog, horse allergen) levels. The two school studies included secondary schools in Johor Bahru, Malaysia and elementary schools from five European countries (Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and France) (HESE-study). In Malaysia, 13 % of the pupils reported doctor-diagnosed asthma but only 4 % had asthma medication. The prevalence of wheeze in the last 12 months was 10 % in Malaysia and 13 % in the HESE-study. Cough and rhinitis were common among children in the HESE-study. There were associations between fungal DNA and reported dampness or mould growth. Fungal DNA levels and viable mould (VM) concentration in the classrooms were associated with respiratory symptoms (wheeze, rhinitis, cough, daytime breathlessness) in school children. In the HESE-study, associations were found between total fungal DNA, Aspergillus/Penicillium DNA and respiratory symptoms among children. Moreover, Aspergillus versicolor DNA and Streptomyces DNA were associated with respiratory symptoms in Malaysia and the HESE-study, as well as reduced lung function [forced vitality capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)] among children in the HESE-study. In conclusion, fungal DNA and pet allergens were common in day care centers and schools and respiratory symptoms in school children were common. The associations between VM concentration and fungal DNA levels in the schools and respiratory health effects in school children indicated a need for improvement of these environments. Moreover, risk constructions should be avoided and buildings should be maintained to avoid dampness and microbial growth. Health relevance of microbial exposure and biodiversity needs to be further studied using molecular methods.

In the last few decades, the great number of inserted children in institutions of infantile education brought a new permeador element of the infantile development: the daily experience in collective environments. Considering the long daily permanence of children in day-care centers one becomes necessary a supervision of the infantile development therefore the years you initiate are crucial to the acquisition of abilities and knowledge. Thus, this study aimed like general objective evaluate and describe the structural and functional conditions of day care centers in the city of Barueri-SP, and like specific objectives: 1) assess and describe the 21 day care centers in the city based on the eight areas proposed by the instrument Child Care Facility Schedule (CCFS), namely: physical environment, health and safety; nutrition and food service, administration, staff-family interaction, staff-children interaction, observable child behaviour, curriculum; and 2) verify differences between the 21 day care centers in each area proposed by CCFS. In this research, was used to qualitative and quantitative methodology with a descriptive and exploratory. The obtained results through the observation of standard operational routine of all day care centers surveyed, with respect to activities periods, type of meal offered, enrollment procedures, criteria for admission, administrative guidance, administrative staff, denote a well defined policy in strategic level. The results allow us to say that statistically all day care centers are at levels commensurate with the quality standards proposed by the instrument CCFS. However, we can see that some items require more attention on the issue of provision of quality care offered in Barueri, namely: 57.1% of centers had "no existing condition" for the group size and 28.6% for the ratio adult / child, both in the Administration area, with indicators that exceded those given by the World Health Organization. In the Health and safety area "objectionable condition" in 38.1% and 23.8% on items related to training in first aid and the requirement for annual physical examinations for employees; in Physical Environment area, 23.8% of centers scored "objectionable condition" referring to insufficient space for the number of children present. The items that deserve attention by the City Department of Education and aimed in this research, are uncommon and of easy solution, and will be subject to devolution to the city lodged by the researcher, as a contribution in the pursuit of improving the quality of services, particularly services related to early childhood education.
Nas últimas décadas, o grande número de crianças inseridas em instituições de educação infantil trouxe um novo elemento permeador do desenvolvimento infantil: a vivência cotidiana em ambientes de coletividade. Considerando a longa permanência diária de crianças em creches faz-se necessário uma supervisão do desenvolvimento infantil, pois os anos iniciais são cruciais à aquisição de habilidades e conhecimentos. Assim, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo geral avaliar e descrever as condições estruturais e funcionais das creches do município de Barueri-SP e como objetivos específicos: 1) avaliar e descrever as 21 creches do município com base nas 8 áreas propostas pelo instrumento Child Care Facility Schedule (CCFS), a saber: Ambiente físico; Saúde e segurança; Nutrição e refeições; Administração; Interação técnico-família; Interação técnico-criança; Comportamento observável das crianças e Currículo; e 2) verificar a existência de diferenças entre as 21 creches dentro de cada área proposta pelo CCFS. Para fins desta pesquisa, a metodologia adotada teve caráter quantiqualitativo, do tipo descritiva e exploratória. Os resultados obtidos através da observação apontam um padrão operacional na rotina de todas as creches pesquisadas, com relação aos horários, tipo de alimentação oferecido, procedimentos para matrículas, critérios para admissão, orientação administrativa, quadro de funcionários, que denotam uma política bem definida em nível estratégico. Os resultados obtidos estatisticamente nos permitem afirmar que todas as creches se encontram em patamares condizentes com os padrões de qualidade propostos pelo instrumento CCFS. Porém, podemos verificar que alguns itens requerem mais atenção na questão da prestação de cuidados de qualidade oferecidos em Barueri, a saber: 57,1% das creches apresentaram condição não existente para a dimensão do grupo (número de crianças que estão juntas, na mesma sala) e 28,6% para a razão/adulto criança, ambos na área Administração, com condições excedentes ao indicado pela Organização Mundial de Saúde. Na área Saúde e Segurança, as creches apresentaram condição questionável em 38,1 % e 23,8% em itens referentes ao treino em primeiros socorros e a exigência de exames físicos anuais aos funcionários; na área Ambiente Físico, 23,8% das creches pontuaram condição questionável referindo-se ao espaço insuficiente para o número de crianças presentes. Os itens que merecem atenção por parte da Secretaria Municipal de Educação e apontados nesta pesquisa são pontuais e de fácil solução e serão objeto de devolutiva apresentada ao município pela pesquisadora, como contribuição em busca da melhoria da qualidade da prestação de serviços, em especial aos serviços referentes à Educação Infantil.

Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus, is Gram-positive, alpha-hemolytic, bile soluble diplococcus aerotolerant anaerobe and a member of the genus Streptococcus (phylum Firmicutes). Streptococcus pneumoniae (S.pneumoniae) is known in medical microbiology as the pneumococcus. It has a polysaccharide capsule that acts as a virulence factor for the organism; more than 90 different serotypes are known, and these types differ in virulence, prevalence, and extent of drug resistance. Streptococcus pneumoniae is a normal inhabitant of the human upper respiratory tract. The serotype distribution among nasopharyngeal carriage isolates varies by country, age-group, origin, type of cohort. Pneumococcal disease will not occur without preceding nasopharyngeal colonization with the homologous strain. In addition, pneumococcal carriage is believed to be an important source of horizontal spread this pathogen within the community. Because the highest frequency of the pneumococcal colonization and the highest crowding index are found in young children, this risk group is thought to be the most important vector for horizontal dissemination of pneumococcal strains within the community. In Europe asymptomatic nasopharyngeal carriage of pneumococcal infection is 30% -60% and in Asia or Africa it is up to 98%. Carriage rate of different serotypes in the same population changes during the time. S.pneumoniae is a common bacterial agent that causes a wide variety of infections including mucosal...

S.pneumoniae yra vienas dažniausiai sutinkamų bakterinių patogenų, sukeliančių ligas mažiems vaikams. S.pneumoniae, ypatingai atskirų jo serotipų, paplitimas, jautrumas antibakteriniams preparatams yra skirtingas įvairiose šalyse ir nuolat kinta. Pagrindinis S.pneumoniae infekcijos šaltinis – sveiki ikimokyklinio amžiaus vaikai, nešiojantys pneumokoką nosiaryklėje. Šio tyrimo tikslas – išanalizuoti S.pneumoniae nešiojimo nosiaryklėje dažnumą tarp sveikų ir dažnai sergančių kvėpavimo takų ligomis vaikų Vilniuje, nustatyti vyraujančius S.pneumoniae serotipus ir jų jautrumą antibakteriniams preparatams. Taip pat nustatyti dažno antibakterinių preparatų vartojimo įtaką pneumokokų nešiojimui nosiaryklėje, atskirų serotipų paplitimui, jautrumui antibakteriniams preparatams. Įvertinti gleivinių imuninį atsaką į pneumokokinę infekciją, pagal seilėse esančius imunoglobulinus. Išvados: 1. Nustatytas dažnas - apie 40% S.pneumoniae nešiojimas tirtų vaikų nosiaryklėse, vyrauja invazines ligas sukeliantys S.pneumoniae serotipai. 2. Jautrumas penicilino grupės antibakteriniams preparatams išlieka nekintantis ir sudaro 90% visų tirtų S.pneumoniae padermių. Jautrumas makrolidų grupės antibakteriniams preparatams palaipsniui mažėja, nuo 96% iki 82 %; tai susiję su dažnėjančiu naujos kartos makrolidų vartojimu. 3. Daugkartinis antibakterinių preparatų vartojimas neapsaugo nuo S.pneumoniae nešiojimo nosiaryklėje. 4. Vaikų gleivinių imuninis atsakas skirtingas atskiriems S.pneumoniae serotipams...

A trend toward non-institutionalization of the elderly, in conjunction with the increasing size of the elderly population has resulted in the development of a variety of community programs and services to help meet their complex and diverse health care needs in the community setting. Although there is substantial documentation pertaining to the needs of the elderly in the community and the available services (Lifton, 1989; Padula, 1983; Starrett, 1986; Wallace, 1987), this documentation has been generated primarily by health care professionals and agencies, rather than from the perspectives of the elderly themselves. Adult Day Care [ADC] programs were established in the late 1960s as one means of attempting to meet the needs of the frail elderly in the community (Padula, 1983). On the surface, these programs appear to be effective in meeting the needs of clients through the provision of nursing services and a wide variety of therapeutic programs and social activities. This exploratory descriptive study was based on the premise that there exists a need to gain insight into the clients' perspectives regarding the ways in which ADC services are instrumental in meeting their perceived needs. Data were collected and analyzed to identify the self-perceived needs of ADC clients and their perceptions of how the ADC nursing services were instrumental in assisting them to meet these needs. Two interviews were conducted with each of the 11 ADC participants comprising the sample, using a semi-structured interview guide developed by the researcher. The two needs most commonly identified by participants included the need to cope with a range of concurrent and/or successive losses, and the need to establish new support systems. Participants identified the most significant components of the nursing role as those of the provision of emotional support through counselling, and the provision of health monitoring services. Participants viewed the overall ADC program as important in assisting them to meet their needs by providing access to social outings, individualized care, emotional support, and the opportunity to enhance their self-esteem, confidence, and feelings of belongingness.
