Abstract:

Hospitals are constantly evolving to keep pace with the latest medical technologies. Whether it is a refurbishment of an existing facility or the addition of a new unit, the design process usually focuses on the technological requirements rather than the human elements of such an undertaking. The Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis presents an architectural opportunity to incorporate psychology of the environment into the design and construction of a new Cancer Unit. By balancing the technological requirements with the physical and psychological needs of the pediatric bone marrow trans

<p>Background: In Sweden the healthcare has moved from the homes to the hospitals, as the system has developed.

Today it is considered a fact that the parents should stay with their hospitalised children and the healthcare is based on a family-centered care. </p><p>Aim: The aim of this literature study was to elucidate parents experience when having hospitalised childre

Abstract:

With the recent movement in healthcare to view the patient as a consumer, it has been recognized that patient satisfaction is an essential measurement of high quality healthcare. For populations of patients that have difficulty speaking for themselves, such as pediatrics, assessing the parent guardian satisfaction becomes essential. Rural areas face unique challenges with pediatric care including long distances from home to a healthcare facility and lack of specialized care. The causal model is used for the theoretical framework, which states that there are two factors that directly influence

Abstract:

Between the years 1852 and 1860 six voluntary hospitals were opened in Great Britain to provide medical care for children who would previously have been considered too young to be admitted to hospital. This thesis argues that the process was shaped by the public health movement which was ascendant at that time. The literature review shows that while historians of nineteenth-century childhood have been aware that child health was a problem, especially for working-class children, they have tended to view this through the prism of industrial and urban history, and there is little work available r

Abstract:

Children are the most important asset for the society's future. They develop into maturity depending upon how they are moulded by their families, society, and the environment. They are very sensitive and could easily get influenced or affected by the slightest change. Therefore it is important to maintain a normal set-up for them under all of their routine and disturbed mental and physical conditions.Sickness and hospitals are one thing that affect a child's psychology. Children dread to get into the harsh technological environments of today's medical environments. Hospitals are constantly evo

Abstract:

Background: CATs is a hospital admission triage tool for influenza and pneumonia, and comprises of 7 criteria (6 objective and 1 subjective); any one of which is expected to trigger hospital admission in adults and children. As the CATs was only recently developed, its performance has only been assessed in the United Kingdom using data from the 2009 A (H1N1) flu pandemic. An external validation study is thus required to assess the generalisability of the CATs in a new patient population before it is recommended for adoption in practice.

Abstract:

Acute liver failure (ALF) describes a clinical syndrome resulting from severe liver damage and extensive loss of functional parenchymal liver mass triggered by various factors. Early recognition and initiation of specific therapy may improve outcomes and reduce the need for liver transplantation, a treatment modality not universally available in resource constraint areas. There is paucity of data describing this syndrome in Sub-Saharan Africa in children. Objective This study aims to retrospectively review and determine the clinical presentation, aetiology, complications & outcome of ALF i

Abstract:

Introduction: Epilepsy is the most common neurological condition worldwide. Literature on the antiepileptic medications and biochemical markers of bone metabolism has revealed inconsistent results. Most of these studies were undertaken in Europe and America where the burden and the associated comorbidities are different to the ones in Africa. Methods: A hospital based case control study was undertaken at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital where children were recruited from a dedicated Epilepsy clinic and controls were obtained from a day surgical ward. Blood and urine samples were take

Abstract:

Introduction: Viral meningitis (VM) is more common than bacterial meningitis (BM) and is a self-limiting disease. Clinicians still tend to admit patients with VM and treat them for BM because they fear the morbidity and mortality that is associated with a delay in treating or not treating BM. Unnecessary admissions have huge cost implications and they separate children from their parents while exposing them to painful procedures and unnecessary antibiotics. Methods: A structured literature review was undertaken to see whether clinical manifestation and examination findings and laboratory find

Abstract:

Background: Gastrointestinal endoscopy has evolved to become an important diagnostic, therapeutic as well as surveillance and follow-up modes of management in children with diverse gastrointestinal diseases. There is a paucity of data on gastrointestinal endoscopy in children in the sub- Saharan African region. The objectives of the study were to describe the socio-demographic characteristics; presenting symptoms; indications; endoscopic yield; impact of endoscopy on management; as well as its safety profile and complications. In addition algorithms for the indications of medical gastrointesti

Abstract:

This descriptive study utilized semi-structured interviews and observations to examine the experiences of hospitalized school-age children, and explore the potential of a live, closed-circuit television program as a psychosocial intervention. Among findings, Phase I data from 16 subjects indicates a) concern with painful medical procedures, particularly intraveneous (IV) injections, b) a desire for more information, especially concerning medical equipment, c) a variety of responses to social issues among subjects, d) the importance of activities, and e) the central role of the hospital playroo

Abstract:

Children who are in the foster care system have already faced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) placing them at greater risk for chronic health problems as well as a greater likelihood of experiencing traumatic medical stress. Additional challenges exist for children who are in the foster care system and are hospitalized. Biological and foster parents may not be available to support the child during their hospitalization. Procedures may trigger traumatic stress responses from child abuse or neglect. Pediatric nurses are in a unique position to support children in foster care during hospital
