Full textAbstract:
Background. The relationship between protein energy malnutrition (PEM) and malaria is controversial. While most studies demonstrate that PEM is associated with greater malaria morbidity, some indicate that PEM may in fact have a protective effect. PEM is differentiated into three subgroups: kwashiorkor (marked protein deficiency), marasmus (calorie deficiency), and kwashiorkor/marasmus. None of the studies concerning PEM and malaria seem to distinguish between these subgroups, and significant differences in susceptibility to malaria between these subgroups may have been overlooked. Plasmodium parasites and malaria infected erythrocytes are sensitive to oxidative stress. Since kwashiorkor patients seem to display an excess of prooxidants and as serum albumin is an important antioxidant, we hypothesized that patients with different forms of PEM might have different levels of malaria parasitaemia. Methods. 72 PEM children older than 6 months admitted to Kwale Family Life Training Programme (Kenya) were included in the study. Results. Mean parasitaemia was significantly lower in the kwashiorkor group than in the marasmus group (p < 0,001). There was no correlation between serum albumin and parasitaemia. Conclusion. Our study suggests a protective effect of kwashiorkor against malaria, warranting further studies.

BackgroundFamily carers are crucial in enabling dying people to stay at home, but are often not prepared for their caring role, receiving little support from formal health and social care services. It is increasingly likely that any help or support family carers receive will be provided by a third sector organisation on either a voluntary basis or by untrained carer support workers.ObjectivesTo produce a training programme designed to equip carer support workers and volunteers with the basic skills and knowledge needed to support family carers.Process of developmentParticipatory action research, a collaborative form of working in which those who are affected by an issue take a lead role in the research, was used. Bereaved carers acting as research partners, support workers and representatives of third sector organisations took an active part in designing, developing, piloting and refining the programme in a number of interlinked stages. During development, the programme was piloted on four occasions and evaluated by 36 trainees and 3 trainers.Final training programmeThe outcome of the project is an innovative, 1-day training programme, offering an introduction to supporting family carers who are looking after someone approaching the end of life. The use of participatory action research methods enabled the development of a programme that addresses support needs identified by bereaved carers and training needs identified by carer support workers.The finished programme includes all the materials necessary to run a training day for support workers and volunteers: facilitator’s notes, trainee workbook, slides, promotional poster and pre-course reading for trainees. Knowledge of issues involved in end-of-life and palliative care is not required, although some experience in delivering training is advisable.ConclusionThe programme evaluated well during development, but further research is required to examine the transfer of learning into the workplace.

A key goal of education for any country is to make sure that every pupil has a chance to excel, both in school and life. Increasingly, a child’s success in school will determine his success as an adult; will determine whether he/she goes to college, what profession that he/she enters and how much they are paid. Kenya’s education system has laid emphasis on a cluster of science subjects that must be passed for one to be placed in a meaningful course at tertiary level, university and finally employment. The Visually impaired child has been disadvantaged and this study therefore tried to investigate why there are more street beggars who are Visually impaired as compared to other persons with disabilities in the Kenyan major towns. The study was conducted in the three towns within Kenya, namely: Kisumu, Nakuru and Nairobi. The study population was 145, and a purposive sampling was used to select the 60 respondents. The study found that the Visually impaired persons who were beggars on the street had basic education at primary level and some had form four certificate, however they had failed to gain any meaningful employment due to the growing need of technology in the work place and the increasing interest in the role of information and communication technologies for one to be employed. The study also found that as much as there is an increasing effort by the Government to have computer studies for all schools in Kenya. The Jaw’s programme is lacking in those computers and therefore the visually impaired learners have not had an access to computer education and hence the mass influx of beggars. The study recommends that of the schools where the Visually impaired learners are in inclusive education, there should be at least two computers with a Jaw programme to help the Visually impaired have an access in computer literacy and hence employment opportunity. The study also recommends that the street beggars with form four educations should be given vocational training with information technology so as to empower them with the current basic skills to compete favourable with other job seekers.

Background Multisensory approaches and programmes have been developed to improve the quality of both life and dying for people with advanced dementia. However, little is known about the experiences of staff, family and others involved in the use of these programmes, and in the relevant education provided to improve the quality of life of residents living with advanced dementia in long-term care homes. Aim The aim of this study was to explore early experiences associated with the implementation of a new programme called ‘Namaste Care’ in two Canadian long-term care homes. Methods A multiple methods design was used. This included a survey to evaluate a 2-day education programme and qualitative description of interview data that explored experiences during the first 3 months of implementation. Results Survey respondents included 44 long-term care staff and 44 others (primarily family) who had attended a 2-day training session or public lecture. Interviews were undertaken with 18 staff, 5 family members and 2 volunteers to generate qualitative descriptions about the last 3 months of implementation of the 2-day education programme. The majority of those who attended training rated this as excellent and affirmed that they now understood the purpose of ‘Namaste Care’. Most endorsed that they had learned some essentials of ‘Namaste Care’ delivery. The majority of those who attended the public lecture were very satisfied with the education, and better understood how this novel programme could be implemented in long-term care. Qualitative description of interview data revealed that participants were positive about ‘Namaste Care’ in long-term care, and identified both barriers and facilitators to implementation as well as recommendations to help with future implementation. Conclusions These study findings support the use of a facility-wide educational programme to help launch a new innovation in long-term care.

Full textAbstract:
Background Training families of patients at risk for sudden cardiac death in basic life support (BLS) has been recommended, but remains challenging. This research aimed to determine the impact of embedding resuscitation training for patients in a cardiac rehabilitation programme on relatives' BLS skill retention at six months. Design Intervention community study. Methods Relatives of patients suffering acute coronary syndrome or revascularization enrolled on an exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programme were included. BLS skills of relatives linked to patients in a resuscitation-retraining programme (G-CPR) were compared with those of relatives of patients in a standard programme (G-Stan) at baseline, following brief instruction and six months after. Differences in skill performance and deterioration and self-perceived preparation between groups over time were assessed. Results Seventy-nine relatives were included and complete data from 66 (G-Stan=33, G-CPR=33) was analysed. Baseline BLS skills were equally poor, improved irregularly following brief instruction and decayed afterwards. G-CPR displayed six-month better performance and lessened skill deterioration over time compared with G-Stan, including enhanced compliance with the BLS sequence ( p = 0.006 for group*time interaction) and global resuscitation quality ( p = 0.007 for group*time interaction). Self-perceived preparation was higher in G-CPR ( p = 0.002). Conclusions Relatives of patients suffering acute coronary syndrome or revascularization enrolled on a cardiac rehabilitation programme showed poor BLS skills. A resuscitation-retraining cardiac rehabilitation programme resulted in relatives' higher BLS awareness, skill retention and confidence at six months compared with the standard programme. This may suggest a significant impact of this formula on the family setting and support the active role of patients to enhance health education in their environment.

SummaryThis article reviews some of the most effective programmes for saving children from a life of crime, and also presents the results of cost-benefit analyses of some of these programmes. The best programmes include general parent education in home visiting programmes, parent management training, pre-school intellectual enrichment programmes, child skills training, Functional Family Therapy, Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care and Multisystemic Therapy. Communities That Care is a useful overarching programme. Most of these programmes have been shown to reduce crime and save money. The time is ripe to establish national agencies in all countries which will advance knowledge about early risk factors (from longitudinal studies) and about effective developmental interventions (from randomized experiments and cost-benefit analyses).

Full textAbstract:
Background: A high prevalence of cognitive impairment and frailty complicates the feasibility of advance care planning in the long-term-care population. Research aim: To identify challenges in implementing the ‘Let Me Decide’ advance care planning programme in long-term-care. Research design: This feasibility study had two phases: (1) staff education on advance care planning and (2) structured advance care planning by staff with residents and families. Participants and research context: long-term-care residents in two nursing homes and one community hospital. Ethical considerations: The local research ethics committee granted ethical approval. Findings: Following implementation, over 50% of all residents had completed some form of end-of-life care plan. Of the 70 residents who died in the post-implementation period, 14% had no care plan, 10% (with capacity) completed an advance care directive and lacking such capacity, 76% had an end-of-life care plan completed for them by the medical team, following discussions with the resident (if able) and family. The considerable logistical challenge of releasing staff for training triggered development of an e-learning programme to facilitate training. Discussion: The challenges encountered were largely concerned with preserving resident’s autonomy, avoiding harm and suboptimal or crisis decision-making, and ensuring residents were treated fairly through optimisation of finite resources. Conclusions: Although it may be too late for many long-term-care residents to complete their own advance care directive, the ‘ Let Me Decide’ programme includes a feasible and acceptable option for structured end-of-life care planning for residents with variable capacity to complete an advance care directive, involving discussion with the resident (to the extent they were able) and their family. While end-of-life care planning was time-consuming to deliver, nursing staff were willing to overcome this and take ownership of the programme, once the benefits in improved communication and enhanced peace of mind among all parties involved became apparent in practice.

Pre-school institution is the first stage of formal education system in the Republic of Lithuania. Each institution creates its own particular education system, coordinates methods, raises tasks corresponding to the requirements of children, family, closest natural environment and society. The report provides a naturalistical training model reflecting the nature study in various systems of education and in formation of cultural values. The report also underlines the fragment of training contents reflecting the particularity of institution’s programme and the integrity of naturalistical training. According to the analysed attitude of values the natural world is conceived as undivided and inte-gral. Cultural values are engrained in children’s senses on the basis of naturalistical training. This capacitates children to become mature personalities, thus being able to apply acquired knowledge and competences, to solve problems of every-day life, to cultivate self-confidence, to feel responsibility and to be able to adjust to the changeable environment. Key words: programme of pre-school education, model of naturalistical training, fragment of training con-tents.

IntroductionWe introduce clinically-based 6-week structured group day-treatment programme for out-patients with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders in the stabilization phase of the treatment. It consists of family psychoeducation, lifestyle improvement intervention, social skills training and art therapy.Objectives and aimsTo assess relapse frequency, psychopathology (PANSS) and quality of life (Schwartz Outcomes Scale-10, WHO-QOL BREF and Social Integration Survey) we designed one-year prospective follow-up field study.MethodsAfter informed consent procedure 144 patients entered the project. Psychopatology and Quality of life were assessed at the entry of the programme, at the end of the programme and at one-year follow-up (N = 86).ResultsPsychopathology decreased after programme significantly and PANSS scores remained low in one-year follow-up. Quality of life assessed by SOS-10 improved after programme significantly. Scores of WHOQOL-BREF raised significantly in Subjective health domain and Psychological health. In one-year follow-up Environment domain improved significantly. Social quality of life (SIS) improved in Behaviour to strangers, Communication, Activities of daily living and Empathy. Quality of life in patients was lower compared to common population, improved after the programme and this improvement was stable in one-year follow-up. One-year relapse rate in participants was 12%.ConclusionsWe conclude that participation at the group day-treatment programme early after discharge is beneficial as it improves quality of life, prevents social isolation and early non-compliance and ensures continuity of care.AcknowledgementThis project was supported by Ministry of Education and Youth, CR: CNS 2005–2009 1M0517; Ministry of Health, CR: IGA MZ CR, NS 1036-3 and VZCR MZ0PCP 2005.

Aims:In 2002 the Professor Eggers Foundation started a 2-year-programme for patients suffering from early-onset schizophrenia (EOS) following discharge from a clinic (outpatient care). The aim is with intense residential care and treatment to support recovery and independence. Interactive and psychoeducational family care, coping with persistent symptoms, development of social and emotional competence, independent house keeping, and support of school and vocational training are the main features.Methods:Psychopathology, social and neuropsychological function were assessed with a set of questionnaires and tests at the start, after 1 year and after 2 years on completion of the programme for 12 participants. Living and working situation were monitored. The results were compared with the progress of 12 EOS patients treated as usual (comparison group).Results:Positive and negative symptoms showed a significantly greater decrease with respect to the comparison group. Social function improved considerably stronger in the participants. Working memory, attention and some executive functions also improved in the participants, while there was a deterioration of speed and selective attention (trend) in the comparison group. Neither group showed changes in measures of intelligence or the subjective quality of life with the exception of increased contentedness with family relations in the participants.Conclusions:We show the benefits of an early intensive residential training programme for EOS patients. Further research may be able to show if these improvements can be maintained and whether the costs of the programme are economical avoiding continued residential care.

Full textAbstract:
This textbook integrates clinical wisdom with empirical findings, drawing upon the history of communication science, providing a comprehensive curriculum for applied communication skills training for specialist oncologists, surgeons, nurses, psychosocial care providers and other members of the multidisciplinary team. This new edition presents a curriculum for nurses, which discusses needs of pre-registration to advanced trainees, including the ‘SAGE & THYME’ training programme, chronic disease, responding to depressed patients, the last hours and days of life, family care, facilitation training, and e-learning. The core curriculum ranges from breaking bad news, discussing risk and prognosis, achieving shared treatment decisions, responding to difficult emotions, dealing with denial, communicating with relatives and conducting a family meeting, helping patients cope with survivorship, deal with recurrence, transition to palliative care, and talk openly about death and dying. Modules offer guidelines about key skills, essential tasks, effective strategies, and scenarios for training sessions with simulated patients. The communication science section covers the history and models of communication skills training, the art of facilitating skill development, ethics, gender, power, the internet, audio-recording significant consultations, decision aides, and shared treatment decisions, medical student training, and enhancing patient participation in consultations. Specialty issues are explored, including enrolling in clinical trials, working in teams, discussing genetic risk, reconstructive and salvage surgery, among many other important issues. Variations in clinical disciplines are also discussed, including chapters for social workers, radiologists, surgical oncologists, medical and radiation oncologists, palliative medicine, pastoral care, pharmacy, paediatrics, and the elderly.

Full textAbstract:
Travel-related problems have been reported in up to two-thirds of travellers to developing countries and approximately 10% of them seek medical advice during or after return from abroad. Furthermore, global migration from the developing to the developed world has increased over the past decades and these individuals may present with tropical infections soon after arrival in non-endemic settings. Fever, with or without localizing symptoms or signs, is a common presenting symptom in returning travellers. Most unwell travellers seek medical attention within one month of return from abroad. Travellers who visit friends and relatives (VFRs) in their countries of origin are disproportionately affected by the burden of imported infections, e.g. 70% of patients with imported malaria in the United Kingdom (UK) are VFRs. While most febrile travellers have common infections such as respiratory or urinary tract infection, it is of paramount importance not to miss potentially life-threatening tropical infections. Evaluation of fever in returning travellers requires an understanding of the geographical distribution of infectious diseases, risk factors for acquisition, incubation periods, and major clinical syndromes of travel-associated infections. The following points should be considered when assessing febrile international travellers: A. Travel dates: the relationship between the timing of the onset of symptoms and travel dates should be assessed. B. Geography: ● travel destination: a detailed itinerary is required. ● local setting: urban vs rural locations; type of accommodation, e.g. air-conditioned hotel room, outdoor camping, etc. C. Risk factors for acquiring infectious diseases: ● purpose of travel: visiting friends and family; social gatherings (e.g. funerals and weddings); mass gatherings (e.g. Hajj pilgrimage, Kumbh Mela religious festival, Olympic games, etc.); tourism; business; voluntary work. ● contact with unwell individuals. ● activities while abroad (examples): ■ food consumption: street food, seafood, raw food, unpasteurized dairy products, exotic foods, bush meat, etc. ■ contact with animals: visits to game parks, farms, caves, bites or scratches by bats or terrestrial animals, visits to ‘wet markets’, birding events, etc. ■ bites: ticks, insects, snakes, spiders, etc. ■ use of local healthcare system: dental or surgical procedures, blood transfusion, dialysis, tattoos, acupuncture.

Full textAbstract:
Every child has the right to an education. Children with life-limiting illnesses or conditions aspire to normality and will often express a strong desire to return to school or continue their education, despite probable limitations. This chapter looks at how education can be offered to children with a life-limiting diagnosis and suggests how mainstream schools can work collaboratively with the child and the family to integrate or reintegrate them into their school programme. Information is provided on ways in which the school can manage risks, protect the child, and play a pivotal role in the provision of holistic and ongoing support. It also considers the need for in-depth planning and training for school staff in order to achieve safe reintegration and what must be done to provide support to siblings, classmates, and educators while the child attends school and during bereavement, should the child die.
