Abstract:

All children have the right to be protected from violence, exploitation and abuse. Yet, millions of children worldwide from all socio-economic backgrounds, across all ages, religions and cultures suffer violence, exploitation and abuse every day. Millions more are at risk (Unicef, 2011).

There is significant evidence that violence, exploitation and abuse can affect the child’s physical and mental health in the short and longer term, impairing their ability to learn and socialize, and impacting their transition to adulthood with adverse consequences later in life.

The UAE gives top priority to children's care and development; this is evidenced in Federal Law No. 3 of 2016 concerning child rights, also known as Wadeema's Law (2016), stresses that all children must be provided with appropriate living standards, access to health services, education, equal opportunities in essential services and facilities without any kind of discrimination. The law protects children against all forms of negligence, exploitation, physical and psychological abuses (Federal Government of the UAE 2016).

Within the health services every member of staff has a responsibility for ensuring that children are protected as much as possible. It is important for staff to recognise the roles and responsibilities of colleagues in child protection, but this does not absolve them of responsibility or accountability in reporting or acting on reported concerns about a child who may be at risk.

As well as being in privileged positions to assist families under stress in proactive and practical ways, health-care professionals can contribute to identifying children who are in need of support or safeguarding. The evidence for safeguarding vulnerable children is supported by research carried out over many years. We know that many of the families who seek help for their children, or children about whom others raise concerns about welfare, are multiply disadvantaged and may be socially excluded (National Commission of Inquiry, 1996a).

Overarching Aim of the session;

Abstract:

           We investigated and analyzed the characteristics of home care patients visited by nursing students during a two-week home nursing practice. The most common disease was the cardiovascular system at 22%. This was followed by nervous system disorders in 17%, terminal / malignant tumors and mental and behavioral disorders in both 10%. By gender, 45% were male and 54% were female, and there were many female recuperators. Regarding the degree of long-term care of the long-term care recipient, long-term care 5 was the most common at 23%, followed by long-term care 2 at 18% and long-term care 4 at 14%. Among the primary caregivers, spouse was the most common at 37%, followed by children at 26% and living alone at 11%. By age group, 33% were in their 80s, followed by 29% in their 70s and 11% in their 90s. The insurance for using home-visit nurses was 54% for long-term care insurance and 44% for medical insurance. Home-visit nursing care is for people in all life cycle periods, from infants to the elderly. From the results of tabulating the characteristics of the recuperators who visited the accompaniment, it became clear that the students accompanied the recuperators from infants in their 0s to 9s to the elderly aged 100 and over. It can be said that the characteristics of the recuperators visited by the students are a reduction of the current situation of home recuperators in Japan.

However, this study showed a lot of obstacles that minimize the contribution of nursing in stroke rehabilitation units. The future nursing rehab role should also be developed to be cope and adapt to the post-discharge needs and the emerging rehabilitation services and technologies, moreover, nurses have to clear and specify their specific bedside care and interventions. Nurses have to adopt new knowledge and competencies in collaboration with other disciplines such as occupational therapies, physical therapy, and speech therapy, to upgrade their assessment and intervention skills that enable the nurses to provide systematic and therapeutic feedback about the patient progress and the proper interventions that needed to reflects that on the functional abilities on discharge.
