Abstract:
Over the past three decades, the Canadian healthcare system has undergone significant reform and restructuring. As a result, healthcare and healthcare costs are relocated from hospitals to the community (McGregor, 2001). Text-based technology is increasingly used to standardize care and contain healthcare spending. This paper examines an example of a text-based technology used in the School Health Support Services programme for students with diabetes in Ontario, Canada. Using institutional ethnography, the inquiry starts with parents’ concerns regarding the premature termination of nursing care for their children with diabetes at school. The exploration shows how these parents’ concerns are hooked into the institutional work of assessment for service discharge conducted by the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) care coordinators. The analysis shows how the institutional category of ‘independence’ coordinates the service discharge work of the CCAC care coordinators with that of the nursing work of community nurses at school. The activation of the category of ‘independence’ by the nurses mediates their work, orienting their focus away from providing direct nursing care, and towards transferring primary care to children with diabetes. Children doing diabetes self-care work at school is then written up in nursing texts to stand in for children’s ability to manage diabetes ‘independently’. The textual production of ‘independence’ enables the next institutional course of action, that is, the discharge of children from nursing services at school. In this process, children with diabetes are drawn into doing the discharge work that ultimately serves the cost-containment interests of the institution. This institutional process also functions to obscure important actualities: It obscures how children’s ‘independence’ is co-created on a daily basis with their parents and relies on their parents’ work, and it discounts the significance of children with diabetes coming to their own embodied and emotional readiness for diabetes self-care.

Abstract:
To inform the development of an inclusive national child care system for all families and children, we examine the institutional interactions of 127 Canadian families with disabled children. Our analysis demonstrates that families participated in numerous early-years services, but 79.5% experienced exclusion. Using an institutional ethnography lens, we illustrate that exclusion occurs through policy and regulations families confront to gain entry, maintain enrolment, and contend with professional meta-texts. Key rights-based, economic, and inclusion policy considerations are provided. Our research and policy considerations recognize not only the importance of inclusion in child care but also the role of child care in creating inclusive communities.

Abstract:
26 Background: Traditionally, pediatric oncology patients with fever and severe neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] <500) are admitted on empiric intravenous (IV) antibiotics pending blood cultures, fever resolution, and a rising ANC. Based on significant evidence that risk-stratification of these patients with fever and neutropenia (FN) and outpatient management of “low-risk” FN (LRFN) patients with oral antibiotics can be safe and effective, we implemented an institutional clinical practice guideline (CPG) to provide outpatient care for children with LRFN. Methods: A validated “Alexander” clinical decision rule was adopted to risk stratify pediatric oncology patients with FN. A new CPG was formulated for the outpatient management of LRFN patients, with either discharge on presentation or at 24-48 hours after admission, with levofloxacin and close follow-up. All stakeholders were educated regarding the new guidelines and process prior to implementation, and the guidelines were approved by the institutional Evidence Based Outcomes Center. Results: In 9 months since guideline implementation, 10/11 (91%) of the eligible patients have been managed outpatient for LRFN (mean ANC 160, range 0 - 480). Seven patients were discharged home from the ER or oncology clinic. Three patients were discharged early at 24 – 48 hours after admission. Outpatient management was safe, and all but one patient had resolution of fever within 48 hours and negative blood cultures. One patient had a positive blood culture with Staphylococcus epidermidis and was admitted for IV antibiotics with no complications. Parents of 9/10 patients responded to surveys. All 9 families found outpatient management to be a good experience, follow-up easy, and reported no adverse effects with levofloxacin. One family preferred inpatient care due to anxiety, while importantly 8/9 (89%) parents said they preferred outpatient care compared to inpatient observation. Conclusions: Pediatric oncology patients with low-risk fever and neutropenia were successfully idenitified and managed in the outpatient setting without adverse events with a high level of parent satisfaction.

Abstract:
The order of the Minister Social Security and Labour of December 18, 2013 adopted The Action Plan for the Transition from Institutional Care to the Family and Community Based Services to the Children with Disabilities and the Children who Have Lost Parental Care for 2014–2020. The purpose of the transition of residential institutions for children from institutional care to family and community-based provision of the services to the children, who have lost parental care, is to ensure a harmonious environment and conditions to the children, who have lost parental care, to grow in the family or household of guardians or adoptive parents and receive assistance in the community. It is important for a child to grow in a family environment which stimulates children’s independence, full and complete participation in the community and social inclusion. When restructuring children’s care homes, it is foreseen to create new and expand the existing community services which are alternative to institutional care: communal children’s care homes of up to 8 children when they are given residence in flats, houses. One of the priorities of the restructuring of children care is to prepare a child for an independent life. While the process of restructuring is underway' no studies', which analyze the improvement of the preparation of children, who reside in the community foster care homes, have been conducted. Therefore, it is relevant to conduct studies on the improvement of the development of independent life skills of children in the context of the restructuring of care homes.
 The purpose of the study is to reveal the experiences of social workers while educating children for independent living in the community foster care homes.
 The study questions: 1) What independent living skills children lack while living in the community foster care homes? 2) What difficulties are encountered by social workers while developing the independence of the children of the community foster care homes? 3) How social workers overcome arising difficulties?
 Qualitative research type was chosen for the study. In the study, the method of a semi-structured interview, which enables to come close to the understanding of human experiences, designation of meanings, the definition of meanings and the construction (explanation) of reality, was used. The obtained data were analyzed by the content analysis method. Qualitative content analysis was carried out in accordance with the inductive, study data based and categories composed logic. According to J. W. Creswell (2009), content analysis is a technique which, having examined the specificities of the text, allows, objectively and systematically, draw reliable conclusions. The qualitative content analysis was performed regarding the following sequence (Creswell, 2009): repeated reading of the content of transcript interview texts, distinction of meaning elements in the text analysed, grouping of the distinguished meaning elements into categories and sub-categories, integration of the categories/sub-categories into the context of the phenomenon analysed and description of their analysis.
 Criteria-based sample was used in the study. The informants were chosen according to the following criteria: 1) social workers who have a degree in social work, 2) social workers who work in the community foster care homes for children.
 The study was conducted in the September-October of 2016 in the community foster care homes for children. 10 social workers participated in the study.
 The study revealed that while preparing the children of the community foster care homes for independent living social workers experience the difficulties in (self-) developing domestic skills (food cooking, shopping, paying bills), social skills (communication and cooperation, organizational) and personal skills (the lack of adequate self-evaluation, self-control skills and self-confidence skills). Social workers, who work in the community foster care homes for children, develop independence skills in children by using verbal methods (individual and group conversations), assigning individual and group practical tasks, drawing on the team of the community foster care homes for children and cooperating with the specialists of other institutions. Social workers hope that the restructuring of institutional care and the changes related to it like creation of domestic environment and the possibilities for household management create better prerequisites for the preparation of children for independent living.

Abstract:
Abstract Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) is a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome (IBMFS) characterized by decreased or absent numbers of megakaryocytes and is not associated with congenital malformations. It is an autosomal recessive disorder with mutations in the thrombopoietin receptor c-MPL, presenting at birth with severe isolated thrombocytopenia. Given the increased risk of life threatening hemorrhage, close monitoring and supportive care with regular platelet transfusions is usually required. The severity of the MPL mutation may predict the clinical course of children with CAMT. Null mutations may rapidly progress to pancytopenia and aplastic anemia, while more modest functional loss of receptor function cause a transient increase in platelet count to > 50,000/µL during the first year of life with later progression to pancytopenia. Moreover, like other IBMFSs, CAMT has been referred to as a cancer predisposition syndrome. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) offers the only curative option. We present our institutional experience of three patients with CAMT who underwent matched unrelated HSCT early in the course of the disease when their presenting problem was isolated thrombocytopenia without pancytopenia, marrow failure or clonal evolution. We have used a fully ablative regimen with busulfan 1 mg/kg/dose for 16 doses (days -9, -8, -7, and -6), cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg/dose for 4 doses (days -5, -4, -3, and -2) and alemtuzumab 3 mg/day (weight-based dosage) for 4 doses (days -5, -4, -3, and -2). Cyclosporine and mini methotrexate (on days +1, +3, +6 and +11) were given for GVHD prophylaxis. The first two patients were siblings with persistent thrombocytopenia at birth, the first of whom had compound heterozygous mutations (c.256dupC and c.391+5 G>C) in the MPL gene. Both parents were carriers and the second sibling was diagnosed prenatally with the same mutations. No other phenotypic abnormalities were noted and testing for Fanconi anemia was negative. The siblings were transplanted with matched unrelated donors at 12 months and 14 months respectively. Our third patient was diagnosed prenatally with germinal matrix hemorrhage and vetriculomegaly. He was noted to have thrombocytopenia after birth. He was treated initially for presumed neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. Sequencing of the MPL gene revealed two compound heterozygous missense mutations (R257C and R102P). The patient was transplanted with a matched unrelated donor at the age of 11 months. All patients tolerated the transplant with minimal toxicity, durable engraftment, and no acute or chronic GVHD. The first two siblings are approximately 4 years and 2 years post HSCT and the third patient is past day 100. Previous reports of HSCT for CAMT that used matched unrelated donors recorded poor outcomes, with a high rate of graft failure. Although our current study is small in size, the results suggest that a HSCT following a fully ablative regimen containing alemtuzumab and performed early in the course of the disease may produce better outcomes, and will avoid the complications associated with marrow failure and clonal abnormalities.

Abstract:
Children develop their language when they explore and talk about literary texts. In this study, we explore the design of shared digital reading as a basis for critical reflection on the reading situation in an institutional context with its given opportunities and limitations. We examine six videotaped readings of one specific picture book app, with a focus on the strategies used by teachers in early childhood education and care institutions to control children’s access to the medium and the types of verbal engagement (about the story and about the medium) that are generated by these different strategies. We use qualitative and quantitative analysis of video data. A qualitative categorization of the readings reveals the strategies Show, Show & Share, and Share. In analyzing the participants’ verbal and multisensory engagement, we find that the Show strategy generates more utterances, especially about the story, as well as more time spent on dialogue.

Abstract:
Számtalan nemzetközi vizsgálat igazolta, hogy az intézetekből örökbefogadott gyerekek, bár sok területen jelentős fejlődést mutatnak, még évekkel családba kerülésük után is sok szocioemocionális problémával küzdenek. Nagyon keveset tudunk azonban azokról a folyamatokról, amelyeken keresztül a korai élmények ezekhez a fejlődési problémákhoz vezetnek. Az itt bemutatott vizsgálat célja az érzelemregulációs képességek fejlődésének jobb megismerése örökbefogadott gyermekeknél, mivel ezen képességek alapvető feltételei a pszichés egészségnek, a hatékony társas működésnek. A vizsgálat központi hipotézise, hogy azok a gyerekek, akik életük első (minimum) 6 hónapját intézetben töltötték, fejletlenebb érzelemregulációs képességgel rendelkeznek. A vizsgálatban 90 4 és 6 év közötti gyerek vett részt, akik a 3 vizsgálati csoport egyikébe tartoztak: 1. olyan gyerekek, akik születésükkor gyermekotthonba kerültek, és ott éltek örökbefogadásukig, de leg¬alább 6 hónapos korukig; 2. csecsemőkorban (6 hetes koruk előtt) örökbefogadott gyerekek; 3. (kontroll) vér szerinti családjukban élő gyerekek. A vizsgálat során az érzelemregulációs képességet a játék-narratívák elemzésével (MacArthur Story Stem Battery) vizsgáltuk. A három vizsgálati csoport összehasonlításának eredményeit összefoglalva elmondható, hogy igazolódott az a hipotézis, miszerint az intézeti gondozás egyik fontos következménye az elmaradás az érzelemregulációs képességekben. Ugyanakkor az eredmények arra is felhívják a figyelmet, hogy az újszülött korban örökbefogadott gyerekek bizonyos érzelemregulációs képességei is, bár jóval kevésbé, de eltérnek a vér szerinti kontrollcsoportétól. Ez az eredmény összefüggésbe hozható egyrészt pre- és perinatális tényezőkkel, másrészt pedig az örökbefogadó szülők és család jellegzetességeivel, valamint az örökbefogadottság tényéből következő vulnerabilitással.

Abstract:
This thesis reports the development in mid-adolescence of a group of children raised in institutions until at least 2 years of age, then adopted or restored to a biological parent. These children were previously followed up at four and a half and at eight years of age. They were compared with a group of individually matched adolescents who had never been in institutional care. IQ depended largely on the type of family placement, and did not appear to be adversely affected by institutionalisation, at least so long as this did not extend beyond age four and a half. The experience of multiple changing caregivers during the period of institutionalisation did not necessarily prevent the children from forming strong and lasting attachment relationships to parents once placed in families, but this too depended on family environment, being much more common in adoptive families. However, some long-term effects of early institutionalisation were apparent. Ex-institutional adolescents showed more behaviour and emotional difficulties than matched comparisons, according to teacher questionnaires and interviews with the adolescents and their parents. They also showed greater orientation towards adult attention, and had more difficulties with peers and fewer close or confiding peer relationships than comparison adolescents, again indicating some long term effects of early institutional experience.

Abstract:
Using the example of the London-based children's organisation Barnardo's, this thesis examines the influence of contemporary ideas regarding the relationship between environment, health and disease on the organisation and everyday institutional practices of the charity. While autobiographical accounts and historical investigations have written on the 'man himself' as well as the discursive and representational strategies used by Barnardo's to justify child removal, the importance of environmental discourses to the institution remain underexplored. The thesis addresses this lacuna through a detailed analysis of archival materials relating to Barnardo's (committee minutes, pamphlets, reports, Dr Barnardo's personal notebooks) as well as through a textual analysis of Night & Day, the main outlet for publicising the work of the charity and stimulating support for it. The thesis covers the period from 1866, when Barnardo's was founded, to the death of Dr Barnardo in 1905. This is a period when the environmental idea was arguably at its strongest, with a host of social ills (from criminality and prostitution, to human health and vitality and later in the period racial degeneration) linked to the influence of the environment. Like many other social reformers and philanthropists, Dr Barnardo was a firm believer in environmental explanations for such social ills, as well as a committed evangelical Christian, and promoted the rapid removal of young people (not all were orphaned but the vast majority were destitute) from urban and familial environments believed to do harm to their physical, moral and spiritual health. Where the first part of the thesis covers the importance of environment to the Barnardo's justification for his child removal practices, the remainder of it considers the response of the institution to environmental ideas. In addition to examining the influence of environment on institutional design and on the everyday practices of the 'inmates', for example the promotion of light and air in the girl's home at Barkingside, emphasis is also placed on ideas of mobility and movement. Here the thesis explores the paradoxical relationship between the organisation's 'anti-institutional' projection and the institutional realities of constructing and policing 'out of home' care practices (trips to the country- and seaside, boarding-out, emigration). This thesis contributes to extant accounts of Dr Barnardo's; however, its primary contribution lies in its nuanced examination of the role of environmental ideas on shaping institutional design and on its influence on the everyday practices of Barnardo's young inmates.

Abstract:
This research investigated physician and emergency room use among representative samples of children in the Dallas metropolitan area (N = 1606) and among patients who used Children's Medical Center of Dallas' First Care services (N = 612). Through telephone interviewing, caregivers to children under fifteen years of age were asked about an array of health service use behaviors, social-psychological issues related to acquiring health care for their children, and demographic characteristics as outlined by the Andersen & Newman model of health care service use. Children's use of physician services is best predicted by whether or not they have medical insurance, their level of income, and whether or not they have medical homes. Although having commercial managed care and fee-for-service Medicaid insurance consistently predicted increased physician use, neither independently reduced reliance on emergency rooms for non-emergent care. Managed care insurance and Medicaid did, however, significantly improve the odds that children would have medical homes, which significantly decreased emergency room use for non-emergent care. Further, increasing physician use and reducing reliance on hospital emergency rooms for non-emergent care will require ensuring that children have medical homeseither private physicians or community health centersat which they can readily and consistently receive sick and well care. Although some ethnic differences were observed, few of the broad array of factors in the Behavioral Model significantly predicted either physician or emergency room use. Moreover, educational levels and health beliefs rarely, and if significant negligibly, influenced physician and emergency room use. Health policy for children would best be served by focusing on programs that facilitate parent's ability to secure health insurance for their children and allocating children to medical homes where they can readily and consistently access sick and well care.

Abstract:
The new social studies of childhood advocate for children to be viewed and approached as social actors who are competent participants on matters affecting them. It further suggests that childhood should be viewed as a social construct; it takes note of differences and variations in childhoods that need to be taken into account when coming up with programs and interventions for children. To researchers, this calls for a shift from doing research “on” children to doing research “with" children. It is these notions of new social studies of childhood that have guided my study. My thesis explores factors that prompt street children to escape institutional care in preference for the streets, and challenges they encounter on the streets and how they manage to survival regardless of the challenges they are exposed to. Gender differences in the way street life affects boys and girls are highlighted. The study employed qualitative research methods namely, semi-structured interviews; participant observation, focus group discussions. The total number of participants in this study was 20, 10 boys and 10 girls. 5 girls were living on the streets and the other 5 were living under institutional care but previously they had lived on the street. Accordingly, 5 boys were living on the streets and the other 5 were living under institutional care but previously they had lived on the streets. The study realizes that street children defy the widely held idea of vulnerability and dependence arising from the conviction that a “proper” childhood involves being nurtured by parents within a home and secluded from the dangers of the adult world. However, through their social network, seen as social capital, and by employing their agency, street children are able to develop survival mechanisms that sustain their lives in the absence of parents. Based on the accounts from girls, the study documents that cultural norms and gender stereotypes put girls at a disadvantage as they have limited survival mechanism and they are generally more vulnerable than boys. Knowledge based on street childrens’ perspectives and reflections about their lives is crucial as a resource for developing interventions.
