Seorang anak yang sakit membutuhkan lebih banyak perhatian dari orang-orang dewasa termasuk perawat dalam rangka membantunya menghadapi pengalaman selama sakit. Di masa lalu, rumah sakit anak tidak dilihat sebagai tempat yang nyaman untuk anak-anak yang sedang sakit. Rumah sakit ini telah dianggap sebaga tempat pemisah antara anak-anak dan orang tuanya. Beberapa tahun terakhir, rumah sakit di negara-negara yang sedang berkembang telah berubah citranya dari “sebuah tempat untuk: naughty boy” menjadi sebuah tempat dimana seorang anak dapat melanjutkan kegiatan hariannya dengan atau tanpa orang tua. Mempertimbangkan sejarah perkembangan rumah sakit-rumah sakit anak amat penting bagi mereka yang terlibat dalam pelayanan/asuhan keperawatan pada anak-anak. Artikel ini mendiskusikan tentang rumah sakit anak, dan berfokus pada betapa pentingnya mempersiapkan anak-anak yang sakit untuk menghadapi proses perpisahan. Artikel ini juga membahas tentang fase-fase yang harus dilalui oleh anak-anak yang dipisahkan dari orang tua selama sakit.Kata kunci: Anak-anak, rumah sakit, perpisahan, sistem pemberian asuhan keperawatan.

Objective The clinical presentations of head trauma due to falls among young children aged less than 2 years are controversial, particularly in Japan, as the history of trauma recounted by a caretaker is not always reliable. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of caregiver's reports on head trauma due to falls in young children aged less than 2 years in Japan. Methods All patients <2 years of age presenting with head trauma resulting from a fall who were admitted to 3 children's hospitals in Japan from January 2001 to December 2005 were retrospectively reviewed (N = 58). The clinical presentations were compared among groups categorized by the heights from which the patient fell (short (≤ 120 cm) or long (>120 cm)) and the surface on which the patient landed (carpet, tatami (Japanese mattress), hardwood floor, or concrete). Results Patients who suffered short falls were more likely to present with subdural hemorrhage (SDH) than those who suffered long falls (74% and 40%, respectively, P = 0.027). More specifically, 62% of short falls showed SDH indicative of shaken baby syndrome (e.g. multilayer SDH). Neurological symptoms, cyanosis, and SDH were more commonly observed inpatients who landed on carpeted or tatami surfaces than in those who landed on hardwood or concrete floors. Conclusions Short falls and landing on soft surfaces resulted in the presentation of severer clinical symptoms than did long falls and landing on hard surfaces, suggesting that the validity of caretakers’ reports on infant or young children's head trauma due to falls is low. Further research is warranted to investigate the cause of infant head trauma due to falls.
