Support to responsive parenting through communication tools

Abstract Issue Counselling unit for positive parenting “Halobeba” has been established at Institute of Public Health of Belgrade with support of UNICEF in order to enable continuum of mother and child health care. Availability of information on child care and development was noticed as significant factor for parental confidence and practice. Description of the problem Trained nurses provide responses to parental questions through 24/7 phone and e mail communication to assist in problem solving and offer emotional support. Nurses are skilled in active listening, proper questioning, counselling and effective encouragement. Free mob app on breastfeeding was developed as knowledge base for parents. New interactive mob app was recently launched as parenting tool for child health and development monitoring. Results Since 2002, more than 1,700,000 responses were provided through phone communication and over 20,000 via email and number of beneficiaries has increased over the years. Most common topics were about breastfeeding, introducing solid food, treatment of fever and respiratory infections, gastrointestinal problems, injuries, immunization, and developmental milestones. Less than 15% of cases were referred to pediatric clinic. Level of parental overall satisfaction was very high and availability and effectiveness of service were especially valued as well as nurses communication skills. Lessons Family centered service that corresponds to caregivers needs is effective approach to support nurturing care for young children. Personalized M-health tools make child care more accessible and build capacities of caregivers. Key messages Sending consistent and trusted messages through different communication channels contribute to enhancing users' knowledge and skills. Knowledgeable and responsive caregivers properly interpret child’s needs, respond appropriately, facilitate the child’s social and emotional development, and provide proper care.

This study analyzes the child health care role of four family nurse practitioners (FNPs) serving 990 families with 1,300 children in a rural clinic 30 miles from a hospital base. In a 12-month program they were trained to give primary care, using standing orders, to all family members. Respiratory infections, well child care, psychogenic problems, allergic conditions and injuries comprised 75.5% of pediatric cases. The FNPs managed 70.3% of all cases without physician consultation. Respiratory infections, well child care and gastrointestinal problems which comprised 57% of all cases were managed with a combined consultation rate of 14.3%. The physician maintained primary responsibility for the management of 3% of all cases. Review of medical records revealed that 93% of the cases were managed properly by the FNPs. The positive experience reported in this study indicates that the FNP role should be developed as one method of providing primary health care.

Physician Time

The less physician time spent on routine well child care, the better. The growing demand for child health services without concomitant addition of manpower is forcing pediatricians to focus on tasks which require their unique talents and delegate those which do not to others. Surely medical school and house officer training do not (and should not) prepare one to serve as arbiter of what brand of shoes to purchase, the technique of rinsing diapers, or the correct temperature of bath water.

Knopf; 1978; list price $24.45 (#4 on the 1988 bestseller list of books on child care of the Ingram Book Co, distributors of trade books). Addressing the effects of nature and nurture on development, Leach covers prenatal development through preschool with particular attention to infancy. Parents' roles, identical for mothers and fathers, are diverse and include controller of environments, model of ideal behavior, nurturer, and instructor. Management methods involve positive reinforcement, ignoring, and active listening; designed to be preventive, corrective, and instructive. Detailed information is given about specific practices including nutrition, stimulatory activities, illness, and education. There is some consideration of environmental forces, parenting difficulties, and the needs of exceptional children. While an intact family is not presumed, material resources are, and presence of a homemaker is advised until children reach three years of age. The text is moderately difficult to read, lacks organization and cross-referencing in the indices. However, the book is supported by numerous photographs and illustrations. The medical content was rated as fair but parents are prompted to seek medical attention appropriately.

Mothers and child health (MCH) are one of the main issues in family medicine. Related to this practice, Indonesian government issued mother and child health (MCH) handbook for monitoring child development due to various child developmental problems in Indonesia. However, there are reports of improper MCH handbook utilization. This study aimed to analyze factors related to the utilization of MCH handbook by mothers in Indonesia. Cross sectional observational study was conducted from March to May 2018. This study involved mothers with children aged 3 to 72 months old in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Specific population of mothers who had children attending Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) and Integrated Health Post (IHP) (Indonesia: Pos Pelayanan Terpadu-Posyandu) were included as inclusion criteria. Maternal characteristics, child health status, employment status, and utilization of MCH handbook were recorded through questionnaire. Association between variables then analyzed statistically using Spearman correlation test. As many as 288 participants were enrolled in this study. We found that mothers’ participation of Posyandu was positively correlated with MCH handbook utilization (p<0.05). Meanwhile, mother’s occupation (p>0.05), mothers’ education (p>0.05), and maternal age (p>0.05) were found to be unrelated to the utilization of MCH handbook. Mothers’ age, education, and employment were found to be uncorrelated with utilization of MCH handbook. Whereas, mothers’ participation in Posyandu was a determinant factor correlated with utilization of MCH handbook.

Influenza A and B epidemics, occasionally pandemics, are characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates. In most cases, an uncomplicated disease ends with recovery, but unfavorable outcomes, up to lethal, are possible, especially in premature, low birth weight, infants and young children, old people, pregnant and postpartum women, with chronic diseases, immunocompromised, receiving salicylates and anticoagulants. The use of modern diagnostic methods allows early detection of patients with influenza, distinguishing them from the total number of patients with respiratory infections. This allows you to optimize the timing of the examination, avoid unnecessary prescription of antibiotics, and timely prescribe specific chemotherapy and chemoprophylaxis. During epidemics, in the presence of an epidemiological history, the conclusion of the clinician is decisive for the diagnosis. Vaccination is an excellent method of preventing or relieving the flu. However, in case of an unfavorable course of the disease, in risk groups, in closed groups, it is recommended to use chemotherapy, pre-exposure or post-exposure chemoprophylaxis. Numerous studies have proven the effectiveness of the use of the drug oseltamivir, a specific blocker of the virus neuraminidase. As a result, its replication stops. The drug does not complicate the vaccination, it can be used in vaccinated people, in all age groups, is available in different dosages, and can be used with food. Treatment for uncomplicated influenza lasts 5 days. In certain situations, chemoprophylaxis and chemotherapy with the specific antiviral drug oseltamivir can help control influenza outbreaks in certain populations.
