摘要:

Maternal self-esteem is examined from theoretical and clinical perspectives The construct of maternal self-esteem is described, and infant and maternal factors affecting it are delineated These factors include infant health, maternal perception of infant health, and newborn characteristics Particular emphasis is placed on maternal perception of the infant's health and behavior The preterm infant within the context of the special care nursery is used as a clinical illustration, thus bridging the gap from theory to clinical practice General unit guidelines and clinical intervention strategies, for all disciplines, are suggested to enhance the maternal self-esteem of preterm mothers.

摘要:

This preliminary study compared concerns of parents of children with moderate mental retardation and parents of children with severe mental retardation, on four health care variables, using a questionnaire format Parents of children with severe impairments and those with school-aged children, had significantly more concerns regarding the hospitalization of those children, than did parents of children with moderate mental retardation or those with preschool children Similarly, parents of children with severe disabilities had significantly more concerns on the parent-professional relationship variable than did individuals with moderately affected offspring A high level of concern on the professional competence variable was expressed by all respondents Study results suggested that severity of intellectual impairment is an important determinant of the number and nature of concerns that are experienced by parents when seeking health care services for their children with mental retardation Suggestions for improving professional knowledge and service delivery are provided.

摘要:

The Theory of Reasoned Action (Ajzen&Fishbein, 1980) was used to develop an instrument to measure antecedents of parental behavior The subjects, a convenience sample of 10 parents of high-risk newborns were interviewed 24 to 36 hours after their infants admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) Likert and semantic differential scales (Osgood, Suci&Tannenbaum, 1956) were developed based on salient themes identified from the qualitative analysis of the interview transcripts to measure parents (a) attitudes (b) social norms, (c) previous experiences and (d) expectations The instrument was evaluated on 30 parents using a repeated measures design Results reflect the rehability and validity of the instrument, an emerging model of antecedents of parents behavior and the presence of differences in antecedents of parents behavior.

摘要:

Continuity of care has been identified as a priority goal for infants with developmental disabilities or chronic illnesses who are faced with long-term or frequent hospitalizations This goal was accomplished by Project Continuity, a family-centered intervention and care coordination system in which the family plays an integral role in the planning and implementation of the care plan Procedures borrowed from diverse traditions including job analysis from industrial psychology and quality assurance from health care were used to describe, monitor, and assess the complex professional behaviors and outcomes of care coordination.

摘要:

This study assessed the effects of a monthly peer support group for adolescents with cancer and other hematological diseases These adolescents shared activities and experiences with nondisabled high school students At the group's conclusion, the adolescents reported that the group helped them cope with their illness and improved the quality of their daily lives Nondisabled students reported that the group favorably affected their attitudes about, and intended behavior toward, peers with chronic illnesses These results suggest that such groups can provide important benefits for individuals with chronic illnesses as well as for their nondisabled peers.

摘要:

Childhood injuries, the leading cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality, have been the focus of much investigation in the past quarter century Research on unintended injuries in group settings has received much less attention, however, there currently exists a small but growing body of literature in this area This review summarizes the current knowledge base regarding such injury in order to provide a framework for future directions in research as well as practical applications for professionals who work with young children.
