Hospital Separation

Children are unique human beings who need attention from an adult including their parents in order to assist him/her to deal with problems in their childhood period. An unhealthy child needs more attention from adult person including a nurse in order to assist him/her to deal with experiences during his/her period.

However, considering the history of development of children’s hospitals is important for those who are involved in nursing care for children. This article discuss about a history of children’s hospitals and focuses on how important to prepare unhealthy child to face a separation process. The article also discusses about stages through which children who are separated from their parents go.Keywords: Children, hospital, separation, health care delivery system. Abstrak Anak-anak adalah makhluk unik yang membutuhkan perhatian dari orang dewasa termasuk orang tua dalam rangka membimbing menghadapi masalah-masalah selama masa anak-anak. 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.

This communication represents an effort to discharge the obligation implied by Spence: "The care of patients in hospitals is a subject which demands scientific study, and experience based on such study. . . . The need for this is greatest of all in children's hospitals." The program presented here attempts to deal with a number of current problems in patient care and pediatric education through the development of an adequately staffed and equipped diagnostic center in the outpatient department, a new arrangement for domiciliary care, and reorganization of the inpatient service for the provision of intensive medical, surgical and nursing care.

A Prospective Study

Background: Despite the advent of many synthetic and semi-synthetic products, the importance of biological blood products cannot be undermined in the current era. The blood donors are the backbone of any health care delivery system that has a well-organized blood transfusion service.Methods: A prospective study conducted for the period of 16 months aimed to find out various complications and their frequencies before, during or after the blood donations. The donors who developed any complications were followed up for at least three weeks to assess the late reactions if any. Blood donation was carried out with proper precautions and asepsis by experienced phlebotomists.Results: Out of 10346 blood donations, 9887 were from replacement donors, while 459 were from voluntary donors. Total donation associated complications were 113, out of which the majority were VVRs (n=74), followed by venous hematomas (n=34) and arterial punctures (n=5). Of the 74 donors who had a VVR after blood donation, the incidence was higher in females (1.64% versus 0.69%). A higher incidence of VVRs was seen among the donors who had a history of previous blood donation.Conclusions: This study strengthened the fact that though blood donation is relatively safe, it still has a complication rate of nearly 1%. To encourage for blood donation at a regular interval, all the possible steps should be taken to minimize the rate of complications. More medical attention should be given to the “at-risk” donors.

In Pakistan’s public health care delivery system, charge nurses hold a very challenging position to perform their workload. They have to work very hard to accomplish nursing and non-nursing care tasks which are imposed on them by the system. Overstretching of workload deprives them from concentration which is badly needed for their performance and this creates dissatisfaction which negatively impact on the quality of nursing care. As a result, this study intends to analyses the relationship between workload performance (WLP) and job satisfaction (JS). This correlation study involved 105 charge nurses in Nishtar Medical College and Hospital Multan Pakistan recruited by convenience sampling. Nurses’ WLP were collected by using self-developed instrument, and JS were collected by using modified Spector 1985. The collected data were analyze descriptively (mean, SD, frequencies, percentage) and inferentially (Pearson’s correlation). The results suggested that nurses’ WLP (average time consumption) in the morning (93.83%) and evening shift (95.63%) were higher compared with night shift (70.69%). Additionally, the proportion of time consumed in the morning and evening shift were higher on nursing care activities (Morning = 57.10%, Evening =52.1%) rather than non-nursing care activities. Oppositely, in the night shifts nurses consumed more than half of their time in non-nursing care activities (55. 66%). Charge nurses observed on moderate level of job satisfaction (mean = 38.6, SD = 5.42). There was no statistically significant correlation between nurses’ job satisfaction and workload performance (p =.137). The findings conclude nurses’ high workload and moderate level of job satisfaction and no statistically significant correlation between both. The results suggested that, it is important for hospital management to adopt some better strategies in order to improve WLP and JS.

The history of the program is presented, and advantages and disadvantages are discussed. In addition, the future role of the program in the health care delivery system of Nigeria is discussed with emphasis on how to guarantee the continuing relevance of the village scheme to the socioeconomic realities of a changing society.

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.
