Background/aims The Healthy and Active Rehabilitation Programme is a specialist-generalist approach to targeting multimorbidity, which was developed through reconfiguring single-condition rehabilitation pathways. This project examined staff perceptions of the transition from specialist rehabilitation, to delivering this new model. Methods A total of 18 staff from the Healthy and Active Rehabilitation Programme (eight nurses, seven exercise instructors, two physiotherapists, one occupational therapist) participated in three focus groups, generating three key themes: apprehension, confidence growth, and integrated working. Results Despite initial apprehension around the Healthy and Active Rehabilitation Programme's impact on the existing service, the service users, and their clinical roles, staff developed confidence in the service and in their broader roles. Integrated working within the Healthy and Active Rehabilitation Programme has enhanced their awareness of the wider rehabilitation team, and provides valuable peer support. Conclusions This project provides valuable information for single-condition rehabilitation services that are considering delivery of specialist-generalist care to help target multimorbidity.

Preterm Newborns

Breastfeeding is the natural and safe way of feeding small infants, providing nutritional, immunological, psychological and economic recognized and unquestionable advantages. These qualities are especially important in premature infants, because of their vulnerability. Despite highly desirable, there is, in general, little success in breastfeeding preterm infants, especially in special care neonatal units. There are evidences that a high supportive hospital environment, with an interdisciplinary team, makes possible to these infants to be breastfed. In this article, the authors present an up-to-date review about the components of human milk and its unique characteristics, as well as describes aspects that make the breast milk particularly suitable for feeding the premature newborn.

A survey study examined the attitudes of interdisciplinary team members toward public school speech-language programs. Perceptions of clinicians' communication skills and of the clarity of team member roles were also explored. Relationships between educators' attitudes toward our services and various variables relating to professional interactions were investigated. A 64-item questionnaire was completed by 346 randomly selected respondents from a two-state area. Classroom teachers of grades kindergarten through 3, teachers of grades 4 through 6, elementary school principals, school psychologists, and learning disabilities teachers comprised five professional categories which were sampled randomly. Analysis of the results revealed that educators generally had positive attitudes toward our services; however, there was some confusion regarding team member roles and clinicians' ability to provide management suggestions. Implications for school clinicians were discussed.

Background: Assessment of suicide attempters in a general hospital may be influenced by the condition of the patient and the unfavorable circumstances of the hospital environment. Aims: To determine whether the results of a reassessment at home shortly after discharge from hospital differ from the initial assessment in the hospital. Methods: In this prospective study, systematic assessment of 52 suicide attempters in a general hospital was compared with reassessment at home, shortly after discharge. Results: Reassessments at home concerning suicide intent, motives for suicide attempt, and dimensions of psychopathology did not differ significantly from the initial hospital assessment. However, patients’ motives for the suicide attempt had changed to being less impulsive and more suicidal, worrying was significantly higher, and self-esteem was significantly lower. A third of the patients had forgotten their aftercare arrangements and most patients who initially felt no need for additional help had changed their mind at reassessment. Conclusions: Results from this group of suicide attempters suggest that a brief reassessment at home shortly after discharge from hospital should be considered.
