ATTITUDES AND KNOWLEDGE OF PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN ABOUT SPECIFIC LEARNING DISABILITIES

Introduction: Specific learning disorders include dyslexia - reading disorder, dysgraphia - writing disorder, dyspraxia and discoloration - difficulties with mathematical tasks. Along with these disorders, hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit are often associated with these disorders. According to available data, 2/3 of children who have difficulty reading, writing, and counting have a lack of attention. Diagnosing these disorders is an important task for parents, preschools and schools, because it is prerequisite for understanding and treatment. The aim of the research was to gain information how the parents of preschool children get information and knowledge about learning disabilities at children, were they able to recognize the symptoms, what was the main source of their information and whether information was understandable and reliable. Methods: Five hundred (510) respondents participated in the survey. The survey was conducted from July to August 2016 and was conducted through a "google" application. The survey was placed at different social networks, and the participation in the survey was voluntary and anonymous with the note that parents of preschool and school children were participating. A survey of 10 questions with the offered answers was used in the survey. Results and conclusion: The results have shown that parents majority of information get from Internet /which is understandable for this sample, because the survey was done through Internet/. Most parents received information through online pages, which did not always mean getting the correct information. They expressed a need for expert education and more public talk about children\u27s learning disabilities. Parents have been interested in this topic, so it is necessary to organize different workshops and lectures that will be led by experts to provide reliable and useful information and to put more professional information on Internet for parents

Disseminated Neonatal Herpes Caused by Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2

Disseminated neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is characterized by progressive multiple organ failure and high mortality rates. It can result from infection with either HSV-1 or HSV-2. We report a case of disseminated neonatal herpes that was caused by HSV-1 and HSV-2

Patients' experience of opioid use and opioid dependence : a litterature review

Bakgrund  Opioidepidemin som pågår ses som ett globalt folkhälsoproblem där ökad förskrivning av receptbelagda opioider spelar en central roll. Opioider kan orsaka lidande och i många fall en för tidig död. Patienter har ofta negativa upplevelser av sjukvården. Vårdpersonal saknar vanligen utbildning och upplever rädsla för att vårda denna patientgrupp. Syfte Syftet var att beskriva patienters upplevelser av opioidanvändning och opioidberoende. Metod En icke-systematisk litteraturöversikt utfördes. Med hjälp av relevanta sökord som bland annat “opioid related disorder”, “substance use disorder” och “patient perspective” för föreliggande syfte togs de inkluderade artiklarna fram från databaserna CINAHL och PubMed. För att säkerställa att artiklarna var av god kvalitet granskades de utifrån Sophiahemmets högskolas bedömningsinstrument. Därefter utfördes en integrerad analys som resulterade i fyra olika teman. Resultat Litteraturöversiktens resultat beskriver patienternas upplevelser av opioidanvändning och opioidberoende. Resultatet ger kunskap om patienternas upplevelser av att påbörja och avsluta användning av opioider, sambandet mellan smärta och opioidanvändning samt upplevelsen av stigmatisering. Även en kunskapsbrist kring opioiders beroendeframkallande effekt beskrivs i studien. Slutsats Resultatet av litteraturöversikten kan öka kunskap och förståelse kring betydelsen av vägledande och fullständig information som bör ges till patienter gällande opioider. Genom att informera om, samt öka patienternas förståelse om opioider kan detta förhoppningsvis minska risken att utveckla beroende. För att kunna garantera en hållbar utveckling ur ett holistiskt perspektiv är vårdpersonal i behov av lämpliga verktyg och förutsättningar för att kunna bidra till en säker behandling och god omvårdnad.Background The ongoing opioid epidemic is seen as a global public health problem, where increased prescribing of prescription opioids has a significant role. Opioids can cause suffering and, in many cases, premature death. Patients often have negative experiences of healthcare. Nursing staff do not usually have enough education and experience fear of caring for this patient group. Aim The aim of this study was to describe patients' experiences of opioid use and opioid dependence. Method A non-systematic literature review was performed. Using relevant keywords such as “opioid related disorder”, “substance use disorder” and “patient perspective” for the present purpose, the included articles were retrieved from the CINAHL and PubMed databases. To ensure that the articles were of good quality, they were examined on the basis of Sophiahemmet University's assessment instrument. An integrated analysis was then performed, resulting in four different themes. Results The results of the literature review were based on 16 scientific articles of both qualitative and quantitative design. The results provide knowledge about patients' experiences of living with opioids, the connection between pain and opioid use and the experience of stigma. A lack of knowledge about the addictive effect of opioids is also described in the study. Conclusions The results of the literature review can increase knowledge and consideration about the importance of guiding and complete information that should be given to patients regarding opioids. By informing them about and increasing patients' understanding of opioids, this can hopefully reduce the risk of developing addiction. In order to guarantee sustainable development from a holistic perspective, care staff need suitable tools and conditions to be able to contribute to safe treatment and good nursing

Colonization with Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria in the First Week of Life among Hospitalized Preterm Neonates in Serbia: Risk Factors and Outcomes

The aim of this prospective cohort study was to determine the prevalence of gut colonization with multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, risk factors for colonization, infection risk, and outcomes among preterm neonates hospitalized at a tertiary-care center in Serbia. During the period from December 2017 to April 2018, 103 neonates were screened for rectal carriage at admission and on the seventh day of life. Characterization of MDR strains was done by conventional microbiology and molecular methods. Out of 61 (59.2%) colonized neonates, 12 (11.6%) were found colonized at admission, while 49 (47.6%) became colonized at the study site. Among a total of 72 MDR isolates, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing enterobacteria prevailed (56/72, 77%), followed by Acinetobacter baumannii (14/72, 19%). The majority of ESBL-producing strains carried multiple genes (blaTEM/blaCTX-M-15 or blaTEM/blaSHV). Longer previous hospitalization and delivery by cesarean section were associated with MDR colonization, while mechanical ventilation was a risk factor for colonization at the study site. Infections due to MDR bacteria were more frequent among colonized than non-colonized neonates, but not significantly, and mortality was low (1%) in the studied neonates. These results indicate that hospitalized preterm neonates in Serbia are rapidly colonized with a diversity of MDR species and resistance phenotypes/genotypes
