Interactional Processes

The public health nurses’ scope of practice explicitly includes child protection within their role, which places them in a prime position to identify child protection concerns. This role compliments that of other professions and voluntary agenices who work with children. Public health nurses are in a privileged position as they form a relationship with the child’s parent(s)/guardian(s) and are able to see the child in its own environment, which many professionals cannot. Child protection in Ireland, while influenced by other countries, has progressed through a distinct pathway that streamlined protocols and procedures. However, despite the above serious failures have occurred in the Irish system, and inquiries over the past 20 years persistently present similar contributing factors, namely, the lack of standardized and comprehensive service responses. Moreover, poor practice is compounded by the lack of recognition of the various interactional processes taking place within and between the different agencies of child protection, leading to psychological barriers in communication. This article will explore the lessons learned for public health nurses practice in safeguarding children in the Republic of Ireland.

Health Nursing

This article combines a philosophical critique of the idea that public health nurses are primary technicians who neutrally hand over scientifically established facts on risks to the public and an empirical analysis of the actual work of public health nurses. It is argued that the relationship between facts and values in public health is complex and that, despite the introduction of several scientifically-based standards and guidelines, public health nurses are not technicians. They do moral work and experience ethical dilemmas. To get a grip on the specific character of this moral work, we distance ourselves from the idea that there are ethical dilemmas in public health nursing for which we can provide general ethical rules and principles. Instead we suggest a contextual ethical approach, in which several different kinds of consideration may be important. To illustrate this, we analysed 15 in-depth interviews with nurses involved in the prevention of cot deaths in the Netherlands. It is shown that these nurses do not neutrally pass on the epidemiological facts on the risks of prone sleeping, warm bedclothes and passive smoking, but they are the moral architects of this preventive practice. It is also shown that this moral work and the ethical dilemmas they experience cannot be characterized in terms of general ethical rules and principles. It becomes clear that the moral work of nurses differs according to the three main risks at stake: the balance between virtue, risk taking and responsibility depends on the specific context.

Differential Relationship

La asociación entre conducta delictiva y adictiva ha sido debatida en muchos estudios, sin que hoy pueda establecerse una dirección causal. El comportamiento desviado de los individuos es producto de la interrelación de varios elementos de riesgo que hacen más probable su aparición. Uno de estos factores es el consumo de drogas, que a su vez va a estar relacionado a la historia de vida de la persona. Por tanto, este estudio se centra en conocer el uso y abuso que una muestra de internos penitenciarios hace de algunas sustancias, tanto legales como ilegales, y la diferencia en relación con el nivel de reincidencia delictiva, teniendo en cuenta los factores de la edad de su primer ingreso en prisión y el tipo de delito cometido, refiriendo el motivo asociado de ingreso en el establecimiento Penitenciario. Los participantes fueron 157 reclusos del establecimiento penitenciario de Villabona (Asturias), en su mayoría varones (94,9%), cuyas edades abarcan el rango entre 19 y 49 años. En virtud de los resultados, se ha comprobado que la reincidencia se asocia positivamente con el consumo de heroína en aquellos delitos relacionados con la salud pública y la propiedad, siendo en este último significativo los ingresos en el Establecimiento Penitenciario a una edad más temprana. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados para lograr una adaptación competente buscando una reducción de la actividad delictiva y su reincidencia.  Abstract The association between criminal and addictive conduct has been debated in many studies, without today a causal direction could be established. The behavior turned aside from the individuals is a product of the interrelationship of several elements of risk that make his appearance more probable. One of these factors is the consumption of drugs, which in turn is going to be related to the history of life of the person. Therefore, this study centres on knowing the use and abuse that a sample of penitentiary boarders does of some substances, both legal and illegal, and the difference in relation with the level of criminal repetition, having in it counts the factors of the age of his first revenue in prison and the type of committed crime, indicating the associate motive of revenue in the Penitentiary establishment. The participants were 157 prisoners of Villabona’s penitentiary establishment (Asturias), in the main males (94,9 %), whose ages include the range between 19 and 49 years. By virtue of the results, there has been verified that the repetition associates positively with the heroine’s consumption in those crimes related to the public health and the property, being in the latter significantly the income in the Penitentiary Establishment to an earlier age. The implications of the results are discussed to achieve a competent adjustment looking for a reduction of the criminal activity and his repetition.

Objectives. To describe how Finnish public health nurses identify and intervene in child maltreatment and how they implement the National Clinical Guideline in their work.Design and Sample. Cross-sectional survey of 367 public health nurses in Finland.Measures. A web-based questionnaire developed based on the content areas of the guideline: identifying, intervening, and implementing.Results. The respondents reported they identify child maltreatment moderately (mean 3.38), intervene in it better (4.15), and implement the guideline moderately (3.43, scale between 1 and 6). Those with experience of working with maltreated children reported they identify them betterP<0.001, intervene betterP<0.001, and implement the guideline betterP<0.001than those with no experience. This difference was also found for those who were aware of the guideline, had read it, and participated in training on child maltreatment, as compared to those who were not aware of the guideline, had not read it, or had not participated in such training.Conclusions. The public health nurses worked quite well with children who had experienced maltreatment and families. However, the results point out several developmental targets for increasing training on child maltreatment, for devising recommendations for child maltreatment, and for applying these recommendations systematically in practice.

Introduction: Lack of understanding of peritoneal dialysis could be the main cause of the low number of its  users in Aceh. To increase its awareness, public health nurses have a crucial role in public health services. This article aims to analyze the factors that cause the community's lack of understanding of peritoneal dialysis and offer solutions by refining the role of public health nurses. Method: The study used a Document Review by SWOT Analysis with 2x2 matrix. The documents were extracted from Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Pubmed, and Semantic Scholar. The indicators and the inclusion criteria were respondent (public health nurses), research method (quantitative), year (from 2015 to 2020) and language (English and Indonesian). The keywords in the search were the roles of nurses in public health centers (Puskesmas), Aceh nurses, and peritoneal dialysis. Results: The study screened 28 documents in which 23 documents met the eligibility and 16 documents that met the study selection were reviewed. Conclusion: The study suggested that the Acehnese have the potential to develop the CAPD program through the Public Health Center (Puskesmas) nurses approach.
