Research about the effects of child care on the psychological development of children has been stimulated by social reality. Industrialized societies, including the US, have witnessed two simultaneous social trends: an increase in the number of mothers in the work force and a decrease in the age at which children enter child-care arrangements.1-3 These trends, in conjunction with cultural beliefs, psychological theories, and research findings emphasizing the important role of mothers in early child development,4-6 have motivated researchers to investigate the effects of maternal employment and of child care on the development of infants and older children. Issues facing developmental psychologists who study child care and its effect on children's development are theoretical, methodological, and budgetary. The waves of psychological research about child care1 reflect changes in conceptual emphasis: Originally, it seemed sufficient to compare children reared in any child-care context with those reared by the mother as the primary care provider. As the results from these investigations were accumulating, investigators recognized a need to focus on variations in the quality of child-care arrangements and to relate these to children's psychological development. Because of issues of access to child-care arrangements, much of the research on quality of care that was generated pertained to center-based care. Most recently, investigators have turned their attention to the relationship between demographic characteristics of families and their choices of child-care arrangements for their children. Even though the research appeared in waves, they all continue to coexist and they all elaborate and enrich our knowledge. Investigators are now interested in weaving the earlier lines of research into a more comprehensive framework.

Palliative Care Needs

61 Background: To determine differences in palliative care (PC) needs in newly diagnosed cancer patients from an inner-city academic facility compared to a suburban, community facility. Also, to identify ways to improve PC for cancer patients in these locations. Methods: 270 subjects with cancer were prospectively identified, 85 from an inner city academic facility (Site A), and 185 from a suburban community facility in the same metropolitan area. (Site B) All patients received treatment from board-certified oncologists. Master’s level Social Workers asked all subjects to complete a standardized, validated questionnaire to determine their palliative care needs prior to treatment. Completed questionnaires were collected and data was depersonalized and analyzed by the authors. Statistical differences were assessed using standard methods. Results: Site A patients were younger (56.3 vs 61.5years) less likely to be caucasian (35/85, 41.2% vs 114/185, 61.6%) and less likely to have private insurance (28/85, 32.9% vs 187/185, 47%). Site B patients were more likely to express a fear of pain, (112/185, 60.5% vs 28/85,32.9%) dying, (112/185, 60.5% vs 18/85, 21.2%) being alone, (112/185(60.5% vs 15/85, 17.7%) or nausea (117/185, 63.2% vs 10/85, 11.8%). Site A patients were more likely to express fear of not having transportation, (35/85, 41.2% vs 42/185, 22.1%) inability to pay for prescriptions, (28/85, 32.9% vs 40/185, 21.6%) or child care (13/85, 15.3% vs 9/185, 4.9%). All differences were significant at a p < 0.05. Conclusions: There are major differences in the PC needs of patients presenting to an inner-city academic vs suburban community facility. To be most effective, PC programs must be tailored to the community. Interventions proposed for the suburban community facility include early access to: 1) grief counseling, 2) support groups, 3) Nurse-Navigators. Interventions proposed for the inner city academic facility include early access to: 1) Medication cost assistance programs (local philanthropies, facility-based pharmacy discounts) 2) travel services (cab vouchers, coordination with public transportation schedules) 3) on-site child care facilities.

Hospitalization of young children produces stress that can be reduced by the presence of a parent. Inner-city parents, however, are generally believed to visit the hospital less often than more affluent parents. At Boston City Hospital pediatric nursing and medical staff (N = 60) were surveyed to obtain their impressions of maternal visiting and its determinants; then 80/94 consecutive admissions of children less than age 5 years were surveyed to record the mothers' actual visiting times. Each mother was interviewed to determine sociodemographic status, her perception of her child's behavior, and her perception about visiting. The staff believed that few mothers (20%) would visit more than 4 h/d, but the study showed that nearly three times this many mothers did visit more than 4 h/d. The median visit length was five hours, and 20% of the mothers roomedin at least once. Contrary to staff expectations, neither job nor child care responsibilities were related to visit length. Mothers who thought visits helped their children visited longer (10.6 v 5.3 hours, P &lt; .001). Contrary to staff beliefs, most inner-city mothers successfully overcame external and emotional barriers to visiting their hospitalized children. Staff input and an educational effort might facilitate longer visits by the one third of mothers who did not recognize the importance of their visiting their children.

This research engaged in the epistemological development from interpretive phenomenology into what is my implemented method of inquiry, which is Black diasporic interpretive phenomenology. This approach grounds itself in Black diasporic thought and the theorizing and work of Black authors, scholars, and activists to understand and describe the sensibilities, intimacies, struggle and resistance of Black people within the diaspora, often stemming from a hyper/invisibility created by the state, society, and institutions (Walcott, 2016). It takes seriously concerns around ethics and care while also being investigative by making connections between our present moment as Black people to the long history of subjugation and our continued fight for freedom. Three Black participants of various identities were engaged to answer the overall research question of “what are the resistive strategies deployed by Black child welfare survivors?” The term Black child welfare survivor refers to Black people who at some point in their lives have been engaged by or taken under state guardianship, or experienced adoption. The methodology used allowed for participants’ narratives to expose the anti-Black racism and continuity of slavery and coloniality in child welfare, as well as the rigourous, sustainable, and effective methods Black child welfare survivors deploy in order to maintain themselves, their families, and their communities. Key words: anti-Black racism, child welfare, resistance, Black diaspora, Black family
