An ethnographic study of caregiving at a daycare centre for divelopmentally challenged children

Du Preez, Riëtte 11 1900 (has links)
In this qualitative study the researcher explores the experiences of various caregivers at a day care centre for developmentally challenged children. This study also attempts to draw a distinction between the experiences of formal and informal caregivers’ experiences. The study is underpinned by two assumptions: 1) that in order to obtain a rich understanding of a phenomenon, the views and voices of a variety of individuals need to be considered and 2) that cultural values and practices play a significant role in the way individuals experience a certain phenomenon. The experiences of both formal and informal caregivers are documented using thematic analysis. An analysis of the participants’ global themes revealed that “education/learning/skills development” and “communication barriers” were common themes among both participant groups. Each participant group also expressed unique experiences such as “being a parent”, “becoming a foster parent” and “being useless as a professional-in-training”. Focal areas for further research are highlighted. / Clinical Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

Problém zařazování batolat do zařízení denní péče v ČR / The issue of classifying toddlers to child day-care centers in the Czech Republic

NEUHÖFEROVÁ, Lenka January 2018 (has links)
This thesis deals with the issue of placing toddlers in day-care centers. It takes into account three main topics. The point of view of the psychological needs of children, the point of toddlers' inclusion into day-care centers from the perspective of the centers themselves and the aspect of the family status in the Czech Republic and economic needs of the state. The aim of this thesis is to describe the suitability of putting toddlers into day-care centers from a theoretical point of view and to assess the convenience of putting toddlers into day-care centers in the Czech Republic.

The synergic articulation between education and health professionals is an effective strategy for hosting suspected cases and immediate referral to specialized care services in the area. Given this scenario, this research aimed to know the perception of the teachers of Early Childhood Education on the TEA and the institutional support network built from the suspect cases. It was assumed that the teachers' understanding of autism could still be insufficient, and that the institutional social network linked to the Municipal Infant Education Centers – CMEIs – to support children with suspected ASD in Foz do Iguaçu was not well constituted. The development of research has taken place through the qualitative approach. The field of research consisted of 10 CMEIs of the northern region of the city, place of greater concentration of school units. One teacher from each CMEI was selected, totaling 10 participants. The inclusion criteria were teachers with more than 3 years of teaching experience and acting at levels above that of the nursery. The data collection was done through semi-structured interviews and the construction of the minimum map of the institutional social network, carried out with the teachers, between September and December 2016. For the treatment and analysis of the data, the analysis was used content, thematic modality. Institutional social network maps were interpreted in the light of the criteria described by Walter Ude, of the principle of integrality in care and the Psychosocial Attention Networks recommended by the Ministry of Health for individuals with ASD in Brazil. From the analysis of participants' speeches, we observed that teachers have knowledge about the main characteristics of ASD, despite the need to clarify the wide phenotypic variety of the disorder. The impact of the teacher's experiences with the TEA in the classroom was a recurring theme in the speeches. In the analysis of the minimum network maps, it was observed that the main support of the schools in hosting the suspected cases of ASD was the direction or coordination of the SMEs, families and professionals of the "Building Citizenship Program". It was considered that, despite the need for further clarification, teachers are currently able to identify students with suspicious signs of ASD in the classroom, and can be included in the Psychosocial Attention Network as autism tracing agents. It was also pointed out that the institutional social network supporting the school in Foz do Iguaçu is still precarious, and therefore needs to be reformulated and strengthened. / O diagnóstico precoce do Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo – TEA – é condição fundamental para que sejam obtidos melhores resultados nas intervenções terapêuticas. A articulação sinérgica entre profissionais da Educação e da Saúde se constitui em uma estratégia eficaz para acolhimento dos casos suspeitos e imediato encaminhamento para serviços de atenção especializados na área. Diante deste cenário, esta pesquisa objetivou conhecer a percepção dos professores da Educação Infantil sobre o TEA e a rede de apoio institucional construída a partir dos casos suspeitos. Partiu-se do pressuposto que a compreensão dos professores sobre o autismo ainda pudesse ser insuficiente, e que a rede social institucional vinculada aos Centros Municipais de Educação Infantil – CMEIs – para o suporte às crianças com suspeita de TEA em Foz do Iguaçu não estivesse bem constituída. O desenvolvimento da investigação se deu por meio da abordagem qualitativa. O campo de pesquisa constituiu-se de 10 CMEIs da região norte da cidade, local de maior concentração de unidades escolares. Foi selecionado 1 professor de cada CMEI, totalizando 10 participantes. Os critérios de inclusão foram professores com mais de 3 anos de experiência docente e com atuação em níveis acima ao do berçário. A coleta de dados se deu por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e a construção do mapa mínimo da rede social institucional, realizados com os professores, entre os meses de setembro e dezembro de 2016. Para o tratamento e análise dos dados, utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo, modalidade temática. Os mapas de rede social institucional foram interpretados à luz dos critérios descritos por Walter Ude, do princípio da integralidade no cuidado e das Redes de Atenção Psicossocial preconizadas pelo Ministério da Saúde para indivíduos com TEA, no Brasil. A partir da análise dos discursos dos participantes, observamos que os professores possuem conhecimento sobre as principais características do TEA, apesar da necessidade de esclarecimento sobre a ampla variedade fenotípica do transtorno. O impacto das experiências do professor com o TEA na sala de aula foi um tema recorrente nas falas. Na análise dos mapas mínimos de rede, observou-se que os principais apoios das escolas no acolhimento dos casos suspeitos de TEA foram a direção ou coordenação dos CMEIs, as famílias e os profissionais do “Programa Construindo a Cidadania”. Considerou-se que, apesar da necessidade de mais esclarecimentos, os professores atualmente têm condições de identificar alunos com sinais suspeitos de TEA em sala de aula, podendo ser inseridos na Rede de Atenção Psicossocial como agentes de rastreamento do autismo. Destacou-se, também, que a rede social institucional de suporte à escola em Foz do Iguaçu ainda é precária, necessitando, portanto, ser reformulada e potencializada.

Maria Machado Mastrobuono Nesti 22 February 2005 (has links)
As creches estão relacionadas ao aumento do risco de doenças transmissíveis e programas de controle de infecção são necessários. Foi realizado estudo descritivo para identificar normas de controle de doenças em creches hospitalares do município de São Paulo. Rotina escrita para a lavagem de mãos foi encontrada em 36% e para a troca de fraldas em 24%. Havia luvas descartáveis em 68%, porém rotina escrita para o descarte de luvas usadas em 12% e instruções sobre precauções padrão em 28%. Normas para o afastamento por doença transmissível existiam em 16%. Treinamento padronizado em controle de infecção era oferecido em 12%. As creches hospitalares não possuem normas suficientes para reduzir a transmissão de doenças. Padronização dos procedimentos e regulamentação são necessárias para promover o controle de infeccção / Child day-care centers (DCC) are known for the spread of infectious diseases. Standards for infection control in child care have been established worldwide. A study was conducted to obtain policies used to reduce disease in hospital day-care centers in São Paulo, Brazil. Written handwashing procedures were available at 36% and written instructions on diapering at 24%. Gloves were used in 68% but written disposal procedures were available in 12% and at 28% were instructions offered on standard precautions. A policy for exclusion due to communicable illness was obtained in 16%. Standard staff training on infection control was offered in only 12%. Hospital DCC's lack policies and routine procedures for reducing the spread of disease. Child care standards and regulation are needed in order to promote disease control

Working mothers, child care and the organisation : an ecosystemic exploration

Marques, Paula Alexandra de Graça 11 1900 (has links)
In this study an ecosystemic and social constructionist approach is used to understand the meanings and perceptions held by working mothers in relation to their experiences with the childcare and organisation settings. These meanings are described in terms of the influence of wider social discourses, personal epistemological assumptions, tacit knowledge, past experiences and current contexts. The working mothers, together with the researcher, form a linguistic system in which meanings about motherhood, employer-support and childcare arrangements are co-constructed and shared. The relationships between the working mothers and the researcher are not only observed within a linguistic context, but also within the ecosystemic view of mutual reciprocity, self-referentiality and double description. A qualitative and naturalistic research methodology is followed to describe the emergent design and the grounded theory. Based on the qualitative paradigm, the conclusions drawn at the end of the study are idiographic and reflective. / Psychology / M.A.(Clinical Psychology)

"Crescimento e estado nutricional de pré-escolares de creches filantrópicas de Santo André: a transição epidemiológica nutricional no Município" / The attained growth and nutritional status of children between 2 and 6 years of age, attending Santo André's philanthropic daycare centers: : the nutritional transition in this Municipality

Schoeps, Denise de Oliveira 06 January 2005 (has links)
Estudo transversal do universo de pré-escolares (1544) de creches filantrópicas de Santo André, SP, Brasil, para estimar por antropometria seu crescimento e estado nutricional. Observou-se que o crescimento alcançado no conjunto está acima do referencial CDC/NCHS. Não se encontrou desnutrição, mas sim sobrepeso e obesidade, respectivamente em 16,8 e 10,8% das crianças, com tendência crescente com a idade. Entre os fatores de risco para esta condição encontrou-se o sexo feminino e o peso de nascimento mais elevado. Estes resultados apontam para a presença de uma etapa adiantada de transição epidemiólogica nutricional inclusive na população de pré-escolares de baixa renda deste Município / Cross sectional study of the universe (n=1544) of preschool children attending to philanthropic daycare centers of Santo André (SP- Brazil), to evaluate by anthropometrics their growth and nutritional status. The attained growth by the whole group was above the CDC/NCHS reference. There was no undernutrition but overweight and obesity with a prevalence of 16,8 and 10,8%, respectively, with a trend to increase with age. Higher birth weight and feminine gender were risk factors for these nutritional problems. The results pointed out an advanced step of nutritional transition, affecting the children between 2 and 6 years of age, of low income families, in this Municipality

No. of bitstreams: 1 vaniapiatto_dissert.pdf: 265912 bytes, checksum: d6bd354613ca0a9752b4acad6612d8cd (MD5) Previous issue date: 1998-12-18 / The aim of this study was to evaluate the hearing and the prevalence of hearing impairment among children, in the age groups of 3 to 6 years old, from Municipal Nursery and Pre-schools of São José do Rio Preto, S.P. At first stage, audiometries in a free field were performed for screening in 103 children, both sexes in 8 Nursery and 8 Pre-schools previously selected. At second stage, the ones who presented audiometric alterations were referred to the Phonoaudiological Service of FAMERP to perform conventional pure tone audiometer. The classification of hearing impairment in relation to grade was made according to W.H.O. approaches. A male child (0.97%) was found with light grade of conductive hearing impairment in the left ear ( LE=35 dB). There was no significant difference among the ratio of hearing impairment in both sexes (p=1.00). Nine children (8.73%) showed alterations in the hearing thresholds by air conduction in 4000, 6000 and/or 8000 Hz sharp frequencies. The ratio among alterations in these frequencies was not statistically significant in both sexes (p=1.00). There is need of further studies to evaluate the result found in children with alterations in those sharp frequencies. The found prevalence of hearing impairment in this studied population can chek the need of use of prevention programs and earlier diagnosis of hearing impairments. / Este estudo teve como objetivo realizar a avaliação da audição e o levantamento da prevalência de deficiência auditiva em amostra de crianças, na faixa etária de 3 a 6 anos, em creches e pré-escolas municipais de São José do Rio Preto, etapa, em 103 crianças de ambos os sexos, na referida faixa etária, em 8 creches e 8 pré-escolas previamente selecionadas. As crianças que apresentaram alterações audiométricas na triagem, foram encaminhadas ao ambulatório de fonoaudiologia da famerp para realização de audiometria tonal convencional, em uma segunda etapa. A classificação da deficiência auditiva, em relação ao grau, foi feita segundo os critérios da oms. Foi encontrado uma criança do sexo masculino (0,97%) com deficiência auditiva condutiva de grau leve na orelha esquerda (m oe=35 db). Não houve diferença significativa entre as proporções de deficiência auditiva em ambos os auditivas, por via aérea, nas freqüências agudas de 4000, 6000 e/ ou 8000 hz. Nota de Resumo Não foi estatisticamente significante a diferença entre as proporções de alterações nas freqüências acima descritas em ambos os sexos (p=1,00). Há necessidade de posteriores estudas para avaliação do resultado encontrado em relação ás crianças com alterações nas referidas freqüências agudas. A prevalênciaencontrada de deficiência auditiva na população do estudo, pode comprovar a necessidade da implantação de programas de prevenção e diagnóstico precoce da deficiência auditiva.

Made available in DSpace on 2014-07-29T15:26:24Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 tese caritas medicina tropical.pdf: 1784866 bytes, checksum: b85c7ab5508fd90ff809159f179430cc (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-02-17 / Objectives: (i) to identify risk factors for S. pneumoniae penicillin nonsusceptible isolates (PNSp) in children attending day-care centers (DCCs) in Goiânia, Brazil and to assess the genetic patterns of pneumococcal isolates; (ii) to estimate the coverage for carriage serotypes for the 7-valente (PCV7) pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, and for the investigational 10 (PCV10) and 13-valent (PCV13) vaccines; (iii) to assess the genetic relatedeness between isolates expressing capsular type 14 and those non(sero)- typeable isolates (NTPn); (iv) to investigate if carriage isolates match genetically to any international pneumococcal clone (PMEN network). Methods: A cross-sectional survey of carriage PNSp was conducted among 1.192 children, 2 months to 5 years of age, attending 62 DCCs in Central Brazil. Capsular typing was performed in PNSp isolates (CLSI, 2007) and in a sample of isolates susceptible to penicillin (PSSp) matched to PNSp and DCCs whenever possible. Serotyping was performed by Quellung reactions and confirmed by multibead assay. NTPn isolates and serotype 14 were tested by PCR for capsule genes. Odds ratio for PNSp carriage and respective 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were assessed by logistic regression. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was applied to assess the genetic similarity between PNSp serotype 14 and NTPn isolates. PCR was performed for the presence of pneumococcal capsule gene locus. For comparison purpose we also evaluated the genetic profile of PNSp serotype 14 invasive strains derived from the current pneumococcal invasive disease surveillance for the same pediatric population. Isolates were epidemiologically related if they shared &#8805;80% similarity on the dendrogram (Dice coefficient). A cluster was defined as three or more related isolates. Results: A total of 686 pneumococci were isolated for a colonization rate of 57.6% and 178 (25.8%) were PNSp. Among the PNSp isolates the usual common types were found: 14 (53%), 23F (10.2%), 6B (6%), 19F (4.8%) and 19A (4.2%). PSSp isolates displayed 30 different serotypes although serotype 14 was the most common. Overall a high prevalence of NTPn (11.1%) was observed with 62.9% PNSp. Serotypes coverage xvi for the PCV7, PCV10 and PCV13 vaccines were 55.2%, 55.9% and 65.1%, respectively. Being less than 24 months of age (OR=1.79; p=0.006), hospitalization in the previous three months (OR=2.19; p=0.025), and recurrent acute otitis media (OR=2.89; p=0.013) were independently associated with PNSp in a multivariate model. Among the 123 PNSp submitted to PFGE (106/carriage and 17/ invasive isolates) a major group of 34 serotype 14 strains (8 invasive and 26 carriage) was identified and found to be genetically related to the global pneumococcal clone Spain 9V-3 (82.7% similarity). All NTPn presented capsule gene locus and 10 (45.4%) of them presented capsule gene locus to type 14. Conclusions: (i) DCC attendees with history of recurrent AOM could significantly contribute to the spread of nasopharyngeal PNSp strains into the community; (ii) epidemiologic and molecular evidences support the findings that pneumococcal nonypeable carriage isolates are genetically similar to carriage and invasive isolates expressing capsular type 14; (iii) carriage and invasive isolates circulating in Goiânia belong to a serotype 14 variant of the Spain 9V -3 clone and play a critical role in the spread of PNSp strains to the entire pediatric community of Goiânia / Objetivo: (i) identificar fatores associados à colonização nasofaríngea por S. pneumoniae não suscetíveis à penicilina em crianças que frequentam creches no município de Goiânia-GO e caracterizar geneticamente as cepas não suscetíveis; (ii) determinar a cobertura das vacinas conjugadas pneumocócicas 7, 10 e 13 valente; (iii) avaliar o relacionamento genético entre cepas do sorotipo 14 e pneumococos não tipáveis (PnNT); (iv) identificar a presença de cepas colonizadoras relacionadas geneticamente aos clones internacionais de S. pneumoniae. Metodologia: Um estudo de prevalência de portador de pneumococo não suscetível à penicilina (SpNP) foi conduzido de agosto a dezembro de 2005, em 1192 crianças de dois a 59 meses de idade, atendidas em 62 creches em Goiânia. Os testes de suscetibilidade antimicrobiana seguiram as recomendações do CLSI de 2007 e a sorotipagem foi realizada pela reação de Quellung e confirmada por ensaio multibead. Isolados PnNT e do sorotipo 14 foram analisados por reação de PCR. Odds ratio para portador de SpNP e respectivos intervalos de 95% de confiança foram estimados por regressão logística. Para avaliar a similaridade genética entre os isolados de portador (sorotipo 14 e PnNT) e isolados invasivos (sorotipo 14) obtidos de crianças de Goiânia utilizou-se amostras de isolados invasivos de um estudo maior de vigilância populacional que vem sendo conduzido desde 2007. Assim, eletroforese em campo pulsado (PFGE) foi utilizada para a tipagem molecular. Definiu-se como linhagem a presença de três ou mais cepas resistentes com similaridade genética &#8805; 80%. Resultados: S. pneumoniae foi isolado de 686 (57,6%) crianças das creches e 178 (25,9%) dessas eram portadoras de SpNS. Sorotipo 14 (53%), 23F (10,2%), 6B (6%), 19F (4,8%) e 19A (4,2%) estavam presentes em 78,2% dos PnNS. Detectou-se alta prevalência (11,1%) de isolados não tipáveis, dos quais 62.9% eram resistentes à penicilina. A cobertura dos sorotipos colonizadores para as vacinas 7-valente, 10- valente e 13-valente foi respectivamente 55,2%, 55,9% e 65,1%. Crianças menores de 24 meses de idade (OR=1,79; p=0,006), hospitalização nos últimos três meses (OR=2,19; p=0,025), e otite média aguda recorrente (OR=2,89; p=0,013) foram fatores xiv independentemente associados com SpNS na análise multivariada. Entre os 123 isolados submetidos à PFGE, 106 eram de nasofaringe de crianças das creches, dos quais 84 expressavam a cápsula tipo 14 e 22 eram isolados PnNT. Todas as cepas invasivas eram sorotipo 14. A maior linhagem agrupou 34 pneumococos do sorotipo 14, com 82,7% de similaridade, os quais foram geneticamente relacionados ao clone Spain 9V-3. Todas as cepas PnNT apresentaram locus para o gene da cápsula para o tipo 14. Houve uma diferença estatisticamente significante entre os valores da CIM para a penicilina entre as três principais linhagens (Krukal-Wallis, p<0,001). Conclusões: (i) crianças com otite média recorrente podem exercer papel importante na disseminação de pneumococos resistentes para a comunidade; (ii) Evidências genéticas apóiam os achados de que cepas de pneumococo não tipáveis assemelham-se ao genótipo das cepas do sorotipo 14; (iii) isolados de portadores e invasivos que circulam em Goiânia pertencem a um sorotipo 14 variante do clone Spain9V-3, responsável pela disseminação da resistência do pneumococo na população pediátrica de Goiânia
