<p>The development of ‘family-centred care’ began in the United Kingdom during the 1950s and 1960s in response to ‘expert’ concern for the child as an ‘emotional’ being. John Bowlby’s maternal deprivation thesis suggested that constant maternal attention in the early years of life would ensure emotionally healthy future members of society. Application of this theory to the hospital children’s ward indicated that young children should not be without their mothers for long periods of time. This theory and the subsequent release of the Platt Report in the United Kingdom in 1959 provided the necessary ‘scientific’ justification allowing mothers greater access to the historically restrictive hospital children’s wards. Influenced by trends in the United Kingdom the tenets of the separation thesis were reflected in New Zealand government policy towards child care and the care of the hospitalised child. However, the wider societal context in which these changes were to be accepted in New Zealand hospital children’s wards has not been examined. This study explores the development of ‘family-centred care’ in New Zealand as part of an international movement advanced by ‘experts’ in the 1950s concerned with the psychological effects of mother-child separation. It positions the development of ‘family-centred care’ within the broader context of ideas and beliefs about mothering and children that emerged in New Zealand society between 1960 and 1980 as a response to these new concerns for children’s emotional health. It examines New Zealand nursing, medical and related literature between 1960 and 1990 and considers both professional and public response to these concerns. The experiences of some mothers and nurses caring for children in one New Zealand hospital between 1960 and 1990 illustrate the significance of these responses in the context of one hospital children’s ward and the subsequent implications for the practice of ‘family-centred care’. This study demonstrates the difference between the professional rhetoric and the parental reality of ‘family-centred care’ in the context of one hospital children’s ward between 1960 and 1990. The practice of ‘family-centred care’ placed mothers and nurses in contradictory positions within the ward environment. These contradictory positions were historically enduring, although they varied in their enactment.</p>

Civil society can not be separated from the history of Islamic civilization and also western civilization. From historical reviews it must be admitted that western societies are far more serious than Islamic societies, in increasing public domination of the state. When the western society has succeeded in abolishing the dominance of religion, monarchy and capital, the new Islamic society has escaped colonial domination. So it can not be denied that finally the nations of Islam should adopt many western thinking. The problem of civil society application in Islamic nations will surely be faced with the problem of government intervention which is badly needed on the unstable structure of society. Therefore, sometimes between civil society and government intervention often generate ambiguity for state officials. Therefore, alternative models of government intervention that will not dominate the society will be required, but on the contrary it will enable civil society to be characterized by the characteristics of, free public sphere, democracy, tolerance, pluralism and social justice.

The article considers the main achievements in the field of genetic engineering and biomedicine in the context of formation of the concept of legal regulation of relations in question. The article considers the issues of applying the human DNA editing technology considered by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics in July 2018. The author substantiates the necessity of determining the legal status of the embryo for its use in clinical trials of gene modifications. The paper considers the risks regarding the use of genetic engineering in relation to the person associated with the possibility of social inequality in the society, application of eugenistic approaches, and the probability of selecting the quality characteristics of embryos by parents resorting to in vitro fertilization. The author concludes that it is necessary to form national and international legislation that will protect the rights and legitimate interests of all subjects and will exclude circumvention of the law and abuse of the right. In addition, it is important to ensure international and public control over the use of the latest advances in genetic engineering and biomedicine prior to conducting clinical trials on humans.
