"The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not 82 adults who continued treatment and 42 adults who discontinued treatment at the Leon County Mental Health Clinic differed significantly when cross-tabulated with seven baseline characteristics, six agency-client descriptive items, and eight items designed to reveal 'perception of the client's problem.' It was hoped that additional knowledge of and insight into the problem of discontinuance by a study of closed adult treatment records during a period of one year would help the Clinic serve, more effectively, adult clients in Leon County"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "June, 1961." / "Submitted to the Graduate School of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work." / Advisor: Dorothy D.

Background: Overweight is a health problem throughout the western world. Child health care (CHC) nurses and school nurses meet many children and their families and have the opportunity to work with prevention. The purpose of this study was to investigate the CHC - and school nurse´s experiences and reflections in the work on obesity in children. The aim was also to investigate the structural conditions CHC- and school nurse feel the need for this work. Method: The study had a qualitative approach with descriptive design. The data has been collected through semi structured interviews with eight child health care nurses and eight school nurses. The main result: In their daily work with overweight the CHC- and school nurses work with prevention against obesity by providing information about good habits. Obesity is identified though regular health checks. If overweight is identified the nurse tries along with the parents to find possible causes and actives against overweight. CHC- tries in her work with overweight children to strengthen and guide parents in their parenting role. The school nurse believes that obesity is about the lifestyle in the whole family and it’s the parents´ responsibility. Obesity is a sensitive topic as it has with self-esteem to do. The work with overweight children is about working together towards the same goal. Conclusion: Obesity is a sensitive topic. It is important with an active parental role in the work with obesity children. CHC- and school nurses have the opportunity to work preventively against children obesity. The school nurses would like to have more time to work with overweight in children and to reduce the complications that overweight and obesity can result. / Bakgrund: Övervikt är ett hälsoproblem i hela västvärlden. BVC- och skolsköterskan möter många barn och deras familjer och har möjligheten att arbeta förebyggande med övervikt. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka BVC-sjuksköterskans och skolsköterskans erfarenheter och reflektioner i arbetet kring övervikt hos barn. Syftet var även att undersöka vilka strukturella förutsättningar BVC-sjuksköterskan och skolsköterskan upplever att de behöver för detta arbete. Metod: Studien hade en kvalitativ ansats med beskrivande design. Datainsamlingen har samlats in via semistrukturerade interjuver med åtta BVC - sjuksköterskor och åtta skolsköterskor. Huvudresultatet: I sitt dagliga arbete med övervikt arbetar BVC-sjuksköterskorna och skolsköterskorna förebyggande med övervikt genom att informera om goda vanor. Övervikt identifieras främst genom regelbundna hälsokontroller. Vid konstaterad övervikt försöker sjuksköterskan att tillsammans med föräldrarna komma fram till tänkbara orsaker och åtgärder mot övervikten. BVC-sjuksköterskan försöker i sitt arbete med överviktiga barn att stärka och vägleda föräldrarna i deras föräldraroll. Skolsköterskan anser att övervikt handlar om livsstil hos hela familjen och det är ett föräldraansvar. Övervikt hos barn är ett känsligt område då det har med självkänslan att göra. Arbetet med övervikt handlar om att arbeta tillsammans mot samma mål. Slutsats: Övervikt är ett känsligt ämne. Vid övervikt hos barn är det viktigt med aktiv föräldraroll. Sjuksköterskan inom BVC och skolhälsa har en möjlighet att arbeta förebyggande mot övervikt. Skolsköterskorna skulle vilja ha mer tid i sitt arbete med övervikt hos barn och på så sätt minska de komplikationer som övervikt och fetma kan medföra.

"The purpose of this study was to collect and compile data for prognostic purposes in determining which clients probably will not continue in treatment until--in the opinion of the agency--'services are completed.' It was hoped that this guide would be helpful in selecting those clients to whom to offer further service. Also, it might be useful in modifying agency policies and procedures to better meet the needs of those people who cannot use the services as presently offered"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "May, 1958." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work." / Advisor: David L.

"The purpose of the study is to describe and compare the presenting and the underlying problems of eighteen adopted children and eighteen natural children seen in the Jefferson County Mental Health Clinic from January, 1955, through November, 1960. An attempt will be made to determine whether there are significant differences observed between the problems of the two groups, either the problems which precipitated the first Clinic contact, or those which Clinic evaluation revealed, or both. Also observed will be differences, if any, in the problems of the parents of the two groups"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "June, 1961." / "Submitted to the Graduate School of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work." / Advisor: Merle M.

<p>Syftet med denna studie var att ta reda på nyblivna föräldrars tankar kring främst föräldraledighet, amning, föräldrautbildning, barn- och mödravården, med tyngdpunkt på vårdens roll och pappans delaktighet. Intervjuer genomfördes med 11 föräldrar och svaren analyserades och kategoriserades i teman. Resultatet visade att de allra flesta var nöjda med vården de hade fått från både MVC och BVC, men enskilda föräldrar var missnöjda med enstaka sköterskor de träffat. Informanterna var också nöjda med bemötandet, då båda föräldrarna kände sig delaktiga i samtalet med barnmorskan. Alla föräldrar ville vara hemma med sitt barn under någon period, vilket berodde på personliga skäl och en vilja att vara med sitt barn. Hos hälften av paren tog mamman ut största delen av föräldraledigheten. Orsaken till detta var i huvudsak amningen, men även ekonomiska orsaker spelade in. Att amning är en stark aspekt för vem som är föräldraledig först gäller fortfarande, och informanterna upplevde att det var något som även vården förespråkade starkt. Angående föräldrautbildningen tyckte alla föräldraparen att studiebesöket på förlossningen var det som gav mest, samt att få träffa andra blivande föräldrar. En brist som nämndes var att informationen som gavs var sådant som de flesta redan kände till.</p> / <p>The aim of this study was to find out what new parents think about parental leave, parental education, the child welfare center and the prenatal clinic. The main focus was on what role the care system played and to what extent the father was involved. Eleven parents were interviewed and the findings were analysed and put into different themes. The result showed that most of the parents were satisfied with the care given at the child welfare center and the prenatal clinic. The participants also thought they were well treated by the nurses and midwives during the encounters. Both parents felt equaly involved while talking to the midwife. All of the parents wanted to have parental leave to some extent and the main reason was that they wanted to spend time with their child. In half of the cases mothers used the greater part of the parental leave. Both breast-feeding and economical aspects were mentioned to be reasons for this. The participants felt that the child welfare center and the prenatal clinic strongly recommended breast-feeding which contributes to the fact that breast-feeding still is a key aspect in the decision on which parent who is going to stay at home with the child during the fist period. All of the parents thought that the visit to the delivery department was the best part during the parental education, they also appreciated meeting other people in the same situation. The general information given during the regular meetings were things that many of the participants already knew and could for that reason have been more detailed.</p>

This paper offers in-depth look at the convenient care/retail clinic industry in the context of today’s changing medical landscape with specific focus on Texas-based RediClinic. In addition to a detailed analysis of RediClinic, this paper proposes detailed advertising, marketing and social media recommendations that will aid RediClinic in bolstering its brand image and expanding its client base. Every suggested tactic is framed within the rapidly changing healthcare environment present in America, and specific focus is given to the recent passing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This paper attempts to aid RediClinic in understanding and leveraging its most important strengths: its strong position within the Texas market, and its service to those who are currently uninsured. / text

O estudo propõe refletir e repensar acerca da adoção de postura profissional apoiada na ética e bioética para o cuidar do ser humano e, em especial, a criança e sua família no contexto ambulatorial. Nesta perspectiva, o cuidado de enfermagem pediátrica deve ter como alicerce um agir que considera as limitações reconhecendo as etapas do desenvolvimento e crescimento da criança, bem como o respeito à dignidade humana, sem infringir os princípios éticos e bioéticos. Nesse sentido, o objeto de estudo é a ética e a bioética no cuidar do enfermeiro a uma criança e sua família no contexto ambulatorial. Os objetivos são: Descrever como o enfermeiro relaciona os aspectos éticos e bioéticos ao cuidar da criança e sua família no contexto ambulatorial e discutir o cuidado do enfermeiro à criança e sua família no contexto ambulatorial à luz dos aspectos éticos e bioéticos. Trata-se se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório com abordagem qualitativa. O cenário para sua realização foi o ambulatório de um hospital pediátrico da rede municipal de saúde e um ambulatório de um hospital universitário, ambos situados na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, com a participação de 13 enfermeiros. Para a interpretação do material empírico foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo de Bardin na modalidade temática e interpretada à luz dos aspectos éticos e bioéticos. Como resultados emergiram duas categorias: Aspectos Éticos e Bioéticos que norteiam o cuidado à criança e sua família e A inserção dos aspectos éticos e bioéticos na prática assistencial do enfermeiro. No que se refere aos aspectos éticos e bioéticos, os enfermeiros, ao cuidarem da criança e sua família no contexto ambulatorial, procuram respeitar a individualidade, a privacidade, o sigilo e as decisões da família no tratamento da criança. Pautam-se nas legislações vigentes como o código de ética, o qual tem como princípios fundamentais: os direitos, as responsabilidades, os deveres e proibições pertinentes à conduta ética dos profissionais de enfermagem. Quanto à inserção dos aspectos éticos e bioéticos, os enfermeiros avaliam, identificam e reconhecem as diferentes situações das crianças no momento em que chegam ao ambulatório, priorizando o atendimento com classificação de risco. Nesse sentido, ao acolher a criança e sua família, utilizam como estratégia a comunicação verbal e não verbal, além da importância de ouvir/escutar a criança durante o cuidado. O estudo aponta para a importância da atuação do enfermeiro no cuidado à criança e sua família no contexto ambulatorial pautada não apenas na legislação vigente, que respalda a conduta ética profissional, mas, sobretudo, na valorização e no reconhecimento da inserção dos princípios bioéticos como: a autonomia, a beneficência, a não maleficência e a justiça na perspectiva da inclusão do ser humano como um cidadão de direitos. Desse modo, a assistência integral e individualizada, centrada na criança e sua família serão realizadas visando à garantia de seus direitos como cidadãos que devem ser contemplados em todo o processo de cuidar. / The study proposes to reflect and rethink about the adoption of professional attitude supported on ethics and bioethics to take care of the human being and, in particular children and their families in the outpatient setting . In this perspective, the care of pediatric nursing must have a foundation in one act that considers the limitations in recognizing the stages of development and the growth of the child, as well as respect for human dignity, without violating the ethical and bioethical principles. Therefore, the object of study is the ethics and bioethics in nursing care to a child and its family in the outpatient setting. The objectives are: describing how nurses relate the ethical and bioethical issues to take care of children and their families in the outpatient setting and also to discuss the nursing care to children and their families in the outpatient setting in the light of ethical and bioethical issues. This is a descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach. The scenario for its realization took place in the outpatient clinic of a pediatric hospital in the municipal health and outpatient clinic of a university hospital, both located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, attended by 13 nurses. For the interpretation of the empirical material content analysis of Bardin was used in thematic and interpreted in the light of ethical and bioethical issues. As results have emerged 02 categories: Ethical and Bioethical issues that guide the care of the child and his family. In addition to that, insertion of ethical and bioethical issues in nursing care practices. In referring to the ethical and bioethical aspects nurses to care for children and their families in the outpatient setting attempt to respect the individuality, privacy and confidentiality family decisions in treating children, are guided in laws in force as the code of ethics, which has as its fundamental principles: rights, responsibilities, and duties pertaining to the ethical conduct of nursing bans. Regarding the inclusion of ethical and bioethical aspects nurses assess, identify and recognize the different situations of the children when they arrive at the clinic prioritizing care with risk rating. In this sense, to accept the child and his family used as a strategy to verbal and nonverbal communication and the importance of the listening and also the hearing of the child during care. The study points to the importance of the work of nurses in caring for children and their families in the outpatient setting guided not merely the actual legislation that supports the professional ethical conduct, but especially in the appreciation and recognition on the integration of bioethical principles as: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice in the view of the inclusion of human rights as a citizen. Thus, the full and individualized assistance, child-centered and family will be held aimed at guaranteeing their rights as citizens to be included throughout the care of the process.
