Introduction. The relevance of the problem of health care of older preschool children is explained by the fact that statistical data indicate an annual decline in the health index of preschool children. The World Health Organization notes that the number of healthy preschoolers has decreased by 5 times and is only about 10% of the contingent of children, the prevalence of functional disorders reaches more than 70%, chronic diseases – 50%, physiological immaturity – 60%, more than 20% of children have a body weight deficit. Therefore social and pedagogical importance of preserving the health of the child increases in the modern conditions of development of preschool education. The purpose of the study is to organize a comprehensive health-saving support for children of senior preschool age through a specially developed and implemented technology. Materials and methods. The experimental study was conducted on the basis of the Municipal state preschool Educational Institution Kindergarten no. 125. (Russia, Yekaterinburg). The study sample consisted of 106 children of senior preschool age. As research methods were used group theoretical (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and empirical (observation, diagnostic task «Our habits» O.V. Dubina, the questionnaire «Healthy person» I.I. Malozemovа, diagnostic methods «Parovozik» S.V. Veliyeva, analysis of disease incidence and physical health, experiment) techniques, methods of data processing. The Student's t-test was used for statistical comparison of the results. Results of the study. The formation of health-saving competence of preschool children, a conscious attitude to their own health was carried out systematically, consistently and purposefully through specially designed blocks of joint activity of the subjects of the educational process of health-saving technologies for older preschool children, which were used in a complex on the basis of an individually differentiated approach. The obtained values of the t-criterion at the significance level p < 0.06 indicate a positive effect of the developed technology on the effectiveness of all health-saving criteria for older preschool children. Discussion and conclusion. Children's health is the most important indicator of social well-being and the normal functioning of society. Psychophysiological and environmental overload, the weakening of the role of preschool educational institutions and the family today actualize the problem of preserving and strengthening the health of the younger generation.

Oral Speech

The development of coherent dialogical speech is most effectively carried out in preschool age, since this period is favorable for the development of the ability to master oral speech. However, this problem is not always given due attention within the framework of the educational process of preschool institutions, the work is carried out mainly in special classes on speech development. Besides, in various types of organized educational activities, there are great opportunities for teaching dialogue to children, one of which may be a workshop. The empirical part of the work was carried out on a sample of 50 children from the pre-primary education group, at the age of 6-7 years attending the preschool educational institution "Kindergarten No. 26" in the city of Kirov (Kirov region, Russian Federation). For diagnosing their level of dialogic speech development, the methodology for identifying the level of development of dialogical communication skills by M.M. Alekseeva, V.I. Yashina; diagnostics of dialogical speech development in preschool children by A.V. Chulkova. The statistical analysis was carried out through mathematical statistics – Pearson’s test. On the basis of the data obtained, it was concluded that productive activity is an effective means of developing the dialogical speech of senior preschool children; speech skills and abilities include the ability to make contact; the ability to make a request for information; replication; possession of speech etiquette; communication emotionality; the ability to compose a dialogue. The effectiveness of workshops as a means of developing the dialogical speech of 6-7-year-old children can be ensured by creating the following conditions: providing children with the opportunity to conduct dialogues at all technological stages of the workshop; implementation of various forms of organizing children’s joint activities; providing children with the opportunity to organize exhibitions, presentations and playing around hand-made crafts. In the process of applying the technology, the possibilities of each stage of developing children’s speech skills should be taken into account. According to the results of the experimental group χ2emp=31.922, which exceeds the critical value, therefore, the discrepancies between the distributions are statistically valid. The prospect of the study is to study the development of children’s communication skills during the workshop.

Currently, there is a need to improve the theory and practice of environmental education of preschool children in kindergarten and to transit to education for sustainable development. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the organization of environmental education of preschool children in kindergarten aimed at understanding the natural and socio-cultural ecosystems. Ecological systems are the universal units of the structure of the surrounding world. The focus of pedagogical activity on the organization of children’s cognitive and research activities in the ecosystems of the nearest natural and socio-cultural environment in the area of the nearest development of preschool age children allows enriching the subjective experience of children with ecological content – the basis of future ecological intuition. Ecological-system approach to the modeling of the educational process allows uniting all forms of organization of life and types of children’s activity in an educational institution into a single succession system. The basis for organizing the cognitive and research activity of preschoolers is the interest, cognitive needs and cognitive activity of children. The process of environmental l education fulfills the role of a systemic mechanism for reflecting and modeling the pictures of the surrounding world in the process of cognitive-research and creative activity in the areas of the nearest development and self-development of children. As a result of testing this organization system in practice of kindergartens activities, teachers note its convenience, effectiveness and positive results in the development of children.

Strategic Role

Background: Equity and access to primary health care (PHC) services, particularly nursing services, are key to improving the health and well-being of all people. Nurses, as the largest group of healthcare professionals delivering services wherever people are, have a unique opportunity to put people at the centre of care, making services more effective, efficient and equitable.Objectives: To assess contributions of nurses to person and people-centered PHC. Methods: Analysis of nursing contributions under each of the four sets of the PHC reforms set by the World Health Organization.Results: Evidence and examples of nursing contributions are found in all of the four PHC reform areas. These include: expanding access;addressing problems through prevention; coordination and integration of care; and supporting the development of appropriate, effective and healthy public policies; and linking field-based innovations and policy development to inform evidence-based policy decision making.Conclusions:Nurses have significant contributions in each of the four PHC reform areas. The focus of nursing care on people-centeredness, continuity of care, comprehensiveness and integration of services, which are fundamental to holistic care, is an essential contribution of nurses to people-centered PHC. Nurses’ contributions can be optimised through positive practice environments, appropriate workforce planning and implementation andadequate education and quality control though strong regulatory principles and frameworks. People-centered approaches need to be considered both in health and non-health sectors as part of people-centered society. A strategic role of nurses as partners in services planning and decision-making is one of the key elements to achieve people-centered PHC.

SummaryCurrent guidelines recommend optimised algorithms for diagnosis of suspected deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). There is little data to determine to what extent real-world health care adheres to guidelines, and which outcome in terms of diagnostic efficiency and safety is achieved. This registry involved patients with clinically suspected DVT of the leg recruited in German ambulatory care between October and December 2005. Registry items were: diagnostic methods applied; diagnostic categories at day 1; and venous thromboembolic events up to 90 days in patients without firmly established DVT. A total of 4,976 patients were recruited in 326 centres. Venous ultrasonography was performed in 4,770 patients (96%), D-dimer assay in 1,773 patients (36%) and venography in 288 patients (6%). At day 1, DVT was confirmed in 1,388 patients (28%), and ruled out in 3,389 patients (68%), and work-up was inconclusive in 199 patients (4%).The rate of venous thromboembolism at 90 days was 0.34% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.09 to 0.88) in patients in whom the diagnosis of DVT had been ruled out, and 2.50% (95% CI: 0.69 to 6.28) in patients with inconclusive diagnostic workup. This nationwide evaluation in German ambulatory care revealed that the diagnostic work-up for suspected DVT did not adhere to current guidelines. However, the overall diagnostic safety was excellent, although there is potential for improvement in a well defined minority of patients.The TULIPA registry was funded by GlaxoSmithKline GmbH und Co KG, Munich.

War is the most serious of all threats to health (World Health Organization, 1982) and can have severe and lasting impacts on mental health. Forced displacement and migration generate risks to mental well-being, which can result in psychiatric illness. Yet, the majority of refugees do not develop psychopathology. Rather, they demonstrate resilience in the face of tremendous adversity. The influx of Syrian refugees to Canada poses challenges to the health care system. We will present our experience to date in the Ottawa region, including a multisector collaborative effort to provide settlement and health services to newly arriving refugees from the Middle East and elsewhere. The workshop will be brought to life by engaging with clinical cases and public health scenarios that present real world clinical challenges to the provision of mental health care for refugees.Objectives(1) Understand the predicament of refugees including risks to mental health, coping strategies and mental health consequences, (2) know the evidence for the emergence of mental illness in refugees and the effectiveness of multi-level interventions, (3) become familiar with published guidelines and gain a working knowledge of assessment and management of psychiatric conditions in refugee populations and cultural idioms of distress.How will the participants receive feedback about their learning? Participants will have direct feedback through answers to questions. The authors welcome subsequent communication by email. Presenters can give attendants handouts on pertinent and concise information linked to the workshop.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Despite the fact that father—child involvement has extensive effects on the health and well-being of the family, there is a paucity of research on fathers’ presence in health care research. The design and development of an instrument for assessing the characteristics of fathers’ availability and engagement with their preschool-aged children in Finland is presented. Data collection was undertaken in two separate periods involving 263 and 821 fathers. Results indicate that the father—child instrument (FCI) is ready for use in research seeking to assess fathers’ availability and engagement with their preschoolers. Further research is nonetheless required to assess the potential for a more sensitive interaction and for the generalization of the FCI.
