Book Description
Child injuries are largely absent from child survival initiatives presently on the global agenda. Through this report, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund and many partners have set out to elevate child injury to a priority for the global public health and development communities. It should be seen as a complement to the UN Secretary-General's study on violence against children released in late 2006 (that report addressed violence-related or intentional injuries). Both reports suggest that child injury and violence prevention programs need to be integrated into child survival and other broad strategies focused on improving the lives of children. Evidence demonstrates the dramatic successes in child injury prevention in countries which have made a concerted effort. These results make a case for increasing investments in human resources and institutional capacities. Implementing proven interventions could save more than a thousand children's lives a day.--p. vii.

Children at Risk?
Author: Helen Roberts
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
More years of productive life are lost to accidents than to heart disease and cancer combined* More children and young people die from accidental injury than any other causeLittle attention has been paid to the problem of child accidents or to the challenge of accident prevention. Children at Risk? fills this gap, using survey data and detailed interviews with parents and guardians to explore the causes, consequences and policy implications of child accidents in Britain.Children at Risk? focuses on key debates in accident research. Are accidents caused by environmental hazards or by risky behaviour? Should differences in risk be explained with reference to class or culture? Should strategies for accident prevention be based on professional opinion or local knowledge? By considering these questions, the authors accumulate sufficient evidence to make a range of practical suggestions on how parents, professionals and policymakers might best keep children safe.Children at Risk? combines a comprehensive literature review with rigorous empirical research. It will be of great interest to students in social policy, public health and medical sociology, to health professionals and to other welfare practitioners and policymakers.

When Children Die
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309084377
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 713
Book Description
The death of a child is a special sorrow. No matter the circumstances, a child's death is a life-altering experience. Except for the child who dies suddenly and without forewarning, physicians, nurses, and other medical personnel usually play a central role in the lives of children who die and their families. At best, these professionals will exemplify "medicine with a heart." At worst, families' encounters with the health care system will leave them with enduring painful memories, anger, and regrets. When Children Die examines what we know about the needs of these children and their families, the extent to which such needs areâ€"and are notâ€"being met, and what can be done to provide more competent, compassionate, and consistent care. The book offers recommendations for involving child patients in treatment decisions, communicating with parents, strengthening the organization and delivery of services, developing support programs for bereaved families, improving public and private insurance, training health professionals, and more. It argues that taking these steps will improve the care of children who survive as well as those who do notâ€"and will likewise help all families who suffer with their seriously ill or injured child. Featuring illustrative case histories, the book discusses patterns of childhood death and explores the basic elements of physical, emotional, spiritual, and practical care for children and families experiencing a child's life-threatening illness or injury.

Traumatic Dental Injuries in Children
Author: Rebecca L. Slayton
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030257932
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
This book is a clinical guide to the prevention and management of traumatic dental injuries, including crown and root fractures and luxation injuries, in children of all ages. Readers will find clear descriptions of the challenges posed by the pediatric population, the evaluation of injuries, diagnosis, management, and follow-up. Whenever available, evidence-based guidelines are used to inform clinicians of the most appropriate care for each type of injury. A holistic approach is adopted, taking into account the child's developmental stage and ability to tolerate the proposed treatment. When indicated, more advanced forms of behavior guidance are discussed to enable the delivery of safe and effective care that will allow the best outcome to be achieved. Often, traumatic dental injuries result in sequelae that compromise the health of the developing permanent teeth. These sequelae and appropriate treatment options are described along with innovative approaches designed to preserve bone and maximize future treatment possibilities. The book will be a valuable asset for both pediatric and general dentists.
