Changes in national child health care policies and their effects on the public health nurse's work in child health care in Finland

In contrast to the prevailing tenor of less than a decade ago, few voices can be heard today reassuring the public or the professional that the American "health care system" is itself in good health.

Two types of programs are discussed in the current issues of Pediatrics-one as a proposal presented to the American Academy of Pediatrics last fall, and the other as a report of work in progress.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the adequacy of maternal and child-care in prenatal care, childbirth and the puerperal period, in the public health service. Methods: longitudinal study carried out in a city in Paraná with 357 puerperal women in a public maternity ward, outpatient clinic for immediate puerperal return and home visit 42 days postpartum. Four care domains were grouped (1 - Prenatal, 2 - Maternity, 3 - Immediate puerperal return, 4 - Late puerperal return). Mean, median, standard deviation and coefficient of variance were calculated considering adequate assistance when ≥ 70%; and inadequate, inferior. Results: lowest suitability average in Domain 3 (39.37%) and highest for Domain 4 (74.82%); median of 50.00% at 3 and 76.90% at 4. The largest standard deviation, in Domain 3 (25.18%); and high coefficient of variance for 1 and 3. Conclusions: in maternal and child follow-up, rates close to adequate in maternity care and higher in late puerperal return, meanwhile prenatal and immediate puerperal return were below the recommended in the health care network.

With the introduction of obligatory registration of twins in Budapest on 1 January 1970, our team started the genetic and somatopsychic examination of twins. The program is being carried out in collaboration with the institutions of the Child Health Care Organisation of Budapest and the National Institute of Public Health.Since 1 January 1970, the placentae of twins born in Budapest are submitted to pathologic and histologic examination, and the twins living in Budapest are examined systematically by our clinical group at the age of six months, and one, two, and three years.In addition to studying the social environment, examinations are carried out with regard to pediatrics, anthropometric measurements, photographic documentation, dental examination, dermatoglyphics, cardiology, and neuropsychiatry. In order to define the genotype of the twins we used haptoglobins and blood groups.
