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.

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.
