The increase in population of the United States is occurring at a much more rapid rate than the increase in medical and nursing personnel available to maintain health services at an optimum level. Unless the pattern of furnishing health care, particularly to lower socioeconomic groups in both urban and rural areas, is drastically improved, these groups will suffer from increasingly inadequate health supervision. This paper describes an educational and training program in pediatrics for professional nurses (the “pediatric nurse practitioner” program), which prepares them to assume an expanded role in providing increased health care for children in areas where there are limited facilities for such care.

Provide Health Care

In the late 1960s Henry Silver1 and his colleagues in Colorado, recognizing a then current shortage of physicians available to provide health care to children, developed educational programs to prepare two new types of child health professionals—the pediatric nurse practitioner and the child health associate. The pediatric nurse practitioner model has been replicated throughout the United States. By mid- 1980 there were in operation 53 graduate and continuing education programs to prepare nurses to assume an expanded role in the provision of health care to children, and an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 nurses have been so prepared (M. K. Willian, personal communication, July 1980).

The recent letter to Pediatric Nurse Associates and members of the American Academy of Pediatrics reporting the division between the AAP and American Nurses Association on certification, is an unfortunate and deplorable happening. Since the onset of the first Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Program in 1965, more than 1,000 nurses have graduated from over 45 programs adding a new dimension to care for children. Although touted by many as the answer to manpower problems for child health care, evidence over the past five years indicates that a new dimension has been added to pediatric care.

Involvement in and reflections upon nine years of change in nursing and health care provide the framework for this commentary on the article, "Nurse Practitioners for Children—Past and Future" by McAtee and Silver.1 My earlier association with Silver as a co-director of the first pediatric nurse practitioner project at the University of Colorado makes these comments, hopefully, like conversations and challenges between colleagues. My remarks address those issues concerned with establishing priorities in the preparation of teacher-practitioners, the development of interdisciplinary collaboration, the need for studies of effectiveness of nurse practitioners, and an opinion on the recommendation to prepare "assistant nurse practitioners."

SummaryThis study examines the relationships between consanguineous marriages and marriage payment, using data from two Muslim qaums living in urban and rural areas in Aligarh District, Uttar Pradesh, North India. Qaum and locality were found to have no significant association with the dowry system. Marriage payment is less common in consanguineous than in non-consanguineous marriages. However, the association between marriage payment and the type of marriage is significant at p<0·001. The dowry system is more prevalent among the higher socioeconomic groups, while the bride-wealth system is more common among the lower socioeconomic groups.

[ ABSTRACT: This paper examines how an African country, Zambia, reproduces patterns of health care delivery system of the West characterized by U.S. The replication of pattern of health discriminates against the poor, and rural in habitants. First, a brief theoretical analysis of underdevelopment is provided. Secondly, the structure of the present U.S health care delivery system is provided high lighting t'he role of the academic-medical component. The analysis shows how health care resources are distributed among socio- economic, racial groups and between urban and rural areas. 'The major part of the paper examines health care delivery system in Zambia, outlining those areas that are replicated. The paper emphasizes that this should serve as lessons for Africa. This replication is made possible by the indigenous African middle class through which Western values are transmitted. This class (elites) is in control of state machinery and makes decisions on the distribution, and consumption of health resources. In conclusion, I recommend a radical economic and political transforma tion of these societies if resources have to be distributed equitably.]
