Após realizar, durante um ano, visitas semanais a uma instituição de atendimento à infância, localizada em um município da região de Campinas, há evidências de que as crianças não estão falando propriamente de família; na realidade, elas estão reclamando da ausência de relações sociais de reconhecimento, já que o Estado/a sociedade ignoram os seus direitos, impondo-lhes como destino a situação em que foram geradas: a pobreza, a realização de tarefas socialmente desvalorizadas e a participação no sistema produtivo como exército de reserva / Abstract: This work has the objective of elucidating the essence of an apparent paradox: children who do not live in family, but talk continuously about family. The work has its anchor points on the theoretical referential of Lefebvre and Vigotski. After carrying out, during one year, weekly visits to an institution of attendance to infancy, located in the Campinas region, there are evidences that the children are not talking exactly about family; in reality, they are complaining about the absence of social relations of recognition, since the State and the society ignore their rights, imposing to them as their destiny the same situation in which they were born: poverty, the accomplishment of tasks socially devaluated and participation in the productive system as reserve army / Doutorado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Doutor em Educação

The aim of this study is to compare views on parenting of partners (from a gender perspective) in families caring for children. Changes in women's position in society, their increasing financial contribution to the family budget and therefore economic background influence the opinions about the overall organization of family life, which is reflected in the actual division of parental roles and associated responsibilities. Although the paper focuses primarily on the opinions and ideas about parenting, I did not fail to devote some space also their subsequent practice. Close interaction of people who share a household and raising children, can result in blindness, which in turn creates the feeling of certain conformity of opinion. Parents can sometimes mistakenly believe that their views on parenthood are shared by their partners. In the research I have included ten couples raising two or more children. For the chosen method of semi-structured interviews, I selected respondents from my circle of acquaintances. The choice was quite deliberate, as with many of them I knew for a long time. Therefore I have had an opportunity to watch some of their educational practices or behaviors, and wondered whether their views correspond to their actions. An important aspect when examining the similarities or...

The purpose of this dissertation research was to explore indications of disparities within the east Central Florida child and adolescent healthcare services market. Structured as a follow-up study to work completed in 2005 under the direction of the Health Council of East Central Florida assessing parental perceptions of community child and adolescent healthcare services, this research extended that evaluation by aggregating participant responses at the county and small area zip code group levels, contextually testing the uniformity of responses in understanding parent perceptions of access to, and satisfaction with, community healthcare service offerings available for children and adolescents. Under a variety of methodologies significance in the responses concerning access to healthcare services were demonstrated between the counties studied. Statistical modeling, however, could not demonstrate the core demographic differences among these data. Data representing perceptions of satisfaction with the services received by children and adolescents were demonstrated at the small area zip code group level within Orange county. Primary effect assessment of the demographic variables representing these respondents yielded findings generally consistent with theoretical expectations of disparity but, notably, the correlation effects between a number of key independent variables demonstrated a mediation of the primary effects on overall perception of satisfaction. Specifically, it was demonstrated that the interaction of white race with possession of private healthcare insurance, and the iv interaction of greater levels of educational attainment with black race, caused a proportional reduction in the predicted satisfaction score of these survey respondent cohorts. Further research specific to these phenomenon encompassing a clearer understanding of the type of care received and the individual’s specific experiences with their healthcare providers was recommended, with ensuing research to better identify commonalities of interactions with specific area providers, local restrictions imposed by area insurance carriers, influences caused by language and/or cultural barriers, and the like as drivers in understanding the individual dynamics of satisfaction.

In the United States, political and social attention to child health care remains insufficient, as it has for decades, especially that which serves the needs of low-income families. In response to this widespread negligence, many communities around the country have developed innovative programs to meet the needs of disadvantaged infants and children. That need for coordinated health services exists among poor children in the Roanoke Valley. The local solution has developed since 1988 as the Children's Health Investment Project (CHIP). This thesis explores, from a geographic perspective, how the relationship between enrolled families and their providers affects attitudes and perceptions toward health care services made available through CHIP. Also, the implications of the current spatial distribution of CHIP participants are examined for geographic relevance. / M.S.

Text in Afrikaans / Summaries in English and Afrikaans / This research sets guidelines for parents of chronically ill children. The guidelines are aimed at equipping the parents to cope more efficiently with the chronic illness and to support other family members in doing so. The nature of chronic illness and its effect on the sick child, his education, the parents and siblings have been researched in the literature study. Chronic illness affects family members in different ways. The· illness affects the sick child's physical, emotional, cognitive, moral and psychosocial development. The parent's total existence and the education of their child are also affected. The illness influences the emotional, cognitive, moral and psychosocial development of siblings. The effect of chronic illness on family members gives rise to certain needs concerned with coping with the illness. Parents as the caretakers of the family and educators of the child are mainly responsible, to assist family members to deal with the illness and its consequences. An empirical study was carried out, involving 102 parents of chronically ill children. This study confirmed that the chronic illness impedes the education process and complicates the adequate development and maturation of specifically the sick child. The effect that chronic illness has on other family members was also confirmed. The empirical study proved that parents need assistance to cope with the illness. They need assistance for themselves as well as assistance in helping other family members to cope. Based on this literature study and the results of the empirical research, guidelines were developed for the parents of the chronically ill child. These guidelines empower the parents in their support roles. It enables them to deal with the needs of the family thereby enabling family members to cope more efficiently with the illness. Several guidelines have been given regarding how to cope with the matters concerned with educational, physical, emotional, cognitive, moral and psychosocial consequences of the illness. Parents should streamline these guidelines to suit the needs of every unique child and the rest of his family. / Hierdie navorsing stel riglyne vir ouers van 'n cluoniese siek kind.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of preoperative therapeutic play on the immediate preoperative and postoperative outcomes of Hong Kong Chinese children undergoing surgery, and their parents in a day surgery unit. / An intervention study was conducted in the second phase of the study. A randomized controlled trial, two-group pretest and repeated posttest, between subjects design was employed. Hong Kong Chinese children (7-12 years of age; N = 203) admitted for elective surgery in a day surgery unit during a 13-month period, were invited to participate in the study along with their parents. By using a simple complete randomisation method, 97 children with their parents were assigned to the experimental group receiving therapeutic play intervention, and 106 children with their parents were assigned to the control group receiving routine information preparation. / Background. Surgery causes considerable stress and anxiety that can have a profound effect on both children and their parents. Therefore, they need to be well prepared before surgery to minimize their anxiety, enhance their feeling of control, and promote positive post-operative outcomes. With the increasing number and complexity of paediatric surgery being performed in day surgery units, there is a compelling need for nurses to develop and evaluate appropriate interventions tailored to the needs of children and parents so as to enhance their ability to cope with surgery. / Conclusion. The first phase of this study confirmed the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the State and Trait Anxiety Scales for Children, and the Children's Emotional Manifestation Scale. The results also support the appropriateness of these instruments as clinical research tools in evaluating the effectiveness of preoperative nursing interventions. / Methods. The study was conducted in two phases. The first phase consisted of developing and testing the psychometric properties of three instruments that were used in the second phase of the study. These instruments included the Chinese version of the State Anxiety Scale for Children, the Chinese version of the Trait Anxiety Scale for Children, and the Children's Emotional Manifestation Scale. / Results. The results showed that both children and parents in the experimental group reported statistically significant lower state anxiety scores than the control group in both pre- and post-operative periods. Children in the experimental group also exhibited statistically significant fewer instances of negative emotional behaviours, displayed lower heart rates and mean arterial blood pressures. Additionally, parents in the experimental group reported significantly higher level of satisfaction with the preoperative nursing preparation given. The results, however, did not find statistically significant differences in children's postoperative pain scores and post-hospital adjustment between the two groups. / Significance of the study. It is anticipated that this study could increase nurses' understanding of the emotional responses of children undergoing surgery and enrich their experience in using child-sensitive research tools in evaluating the effectiveness of preoperative nursing interventions. Most importantly, this research provides empirical evidence of the benefits of incorporating therapeutic play in the preoperative preparation of children and parents thus charting a path towards promoting holistic and quality care.* / The second phase of this study had addressed a gap in the literature by empirically testing the effectiveness of the therapeutic play intervention in preparing children for surgery, and their parents, which had been under-researched. It also provides empirical evidence that therapeutic play, using preoperative tour visit to the operating theatre, doll demonstration and return demonstration on the procedure of anaesthesia, is more effective in improving immediately pre- and post-operative outcomes of children and their parents than information-based preparation alone. / Therapeutic play has been used as a psychological preparation for helping children cope with the stress of hospitalisation. However, the majority of previous studies into the effect of therapeutic play were based only on theories and clinical observations. The lack of empirical evidence makes it difficult to determine precisely the effectiveness of therapeutic play. Therefore, there is vital need for more rigorous empirical scrutiny. / Li Ho Cheung William. / "July 2005." / Advisers: Violeta Lopez; Chung Kwong Yeung. / Includes supplementary digital materials. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-11, Section: B, page: 6309. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2005. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 335-354). / Electronic reproduction.
