There are many different effects of mother-infant interaction on an infants’ development. Mother-infant interaction is distinct and different from one culture to another. Researchers study mother-infant relationship cross-cultural because it is a universal phenomenon (Bhavnagri, 1984). Mother-infant interaction is the most important and earliest way to infants’ social, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive development (Hirose, Shinoki, & Hamada, 1999). One of the best models to study mother-infant interaction in different cultures is Bronfenbrenner’s model (Bronfenbrenner, 1994), because it is comprehensive and appropriate to any culture. Moreover, it can explain the impacts on infants developing in exact ecological variables in specific Continue reading...

Introduction: The Selected Artifacts

There are various ways of establishing whether someone is pregnant or not. It comes in handy to any particular nurse to have the necessary skills in this sector (Ackley, Ladwig 2010). I mainly choose to major on signs and symptoms of pregnancy as one of the physical way of establishing that someone is pregnant.

This analysis is considering the incidents of births with low infant weight through the use of health records from the North Carolina state center for health and environmental statistics. I will be interested in obtaining summary statistics for the variables contained in the dataset. Of particular interest is the birth weight of infants born by smoking mothers in comparison to birth weight of infants born to non-smoking mothers.
There are several variables under consideration and it would be of interest to explore these variables and there distributions first (univariate analysis) before we can do a comparison of the relationship Continue reading...

Medical development from advanced research in neonatal, obstetric and pediatric areas has reduced the mortality rates of infants that are born prematurely. However, the fears of premature birth in many countries have remained unchanged for the last two decades. There are growing numbers of births that are premature, and they are always at risk of contracting cognitive and sensorimotor disorders that affect how they learn and move. A practical example may be to consider looking at prematurely born infants and those of school-going age that show a wider distribution of disabilities in learning, poor eye-hand coordination, development of dyspraxia Continue reading...

SUMMARIZE, OF THE ARTICLE

An article that was written by Rudzik (2012) sought to establish the Experience and Determinants of First-Time Breast-Feeding Duration among Low-Income Women from São Paulo, Brazil. The article sought to find out the factors that make first time mothers breastfeed their children exclusively on breast milk 12 weeks postpartum and factors that make first time others switch from exclusively breastfeeding their infants 12 weeks postpartum to supplementing the infant with non-breast foods. The researchers undertook the study in low-income populations to find out if the findings of the study will be consistent with findings from similar studies carried Continue reading...

Essay #1

For this case I have found an article about healthcare research of the following topic: “Caring Behaviors and Patients’ Satisfaction” (Nursing and Midwifery Studies, 2012). The article was retrieved from the following website:
http://nmsjournal.com/?page=article&article_id=7901

The researchers are investigated the issue in one of the hospitals in Iraq.

The null and alternative hypotheses are the following:
Null hypothesis: there is no significant association between caring behaviors and patients’ satisfaction.
Alternative hypothesis: there is a significant association between caring behaviors and patients’ satisfaction.
The results were “p<0.001, r=0.57” (Nursing and Midwifery Studies, 2012) which means a significant positive correlation between the variables. The strength of the correlation is moderate.
According to the article, Continue reading...

Newborn Care

Newborn care is one part of nursing, which is the continuation of taking care of a patient’s child. Newborn care means the protection, promotion, and optimization of the health of these fragile human beings. This is the responsibility of the neonatal nurses once the babies are in the nursery room (Green, 2012). There are various types of newborn care, depending on what an infant needs. There are generic plans and individualized plans for attending to the infants’ needs since their mothers are not yet fully rested from the whole ordeal of giving birth. My responsibility is to take Continue reading...

Prenatal care is a preventive health care with the objectives of providing regular check-ups. These check-ups allow midwives or doctors to prevent and treat potential health problems throughout the course of pregnancy while promoting a healthy lifestyle that benefit both child and mother. Early and regular prenatal care improves the chances of a healthy pregnancy. Pregnant women normally schedule a visit to the community health care providers to begin their prenatal care services. Prenatal care services include weight checks, physical examinations, and providing the urine sample. Depending on the pregnancy’s stages, health care providers also do blood tests Continue reading...

Breast feeding is one vital public policy issue taking into consideration its health benefits bestowed towards both the mother and the child. Currently it is conventionally understood that an infant should feed on mother milk for the first six months exclusively after which complimentary foods can be introduced. However, breast milk should not stop. The introduction of the breastfeeding policy would be useless if the public is not made aware. Despite the increased efforts to create awareness on breastfeeding, there are barriers to success that should be considered.
Practice environment can contribute to the barriers of successful implementation and Continue reading...

Introduction:

Fra Bartolommeo (or Baccio della Porta by birth (Pietersma) painted The Rest on the Flight Into Egypt With Saint John Baptist and Two Angles in a prominent Renaissance model, which is obvious from the painting’s expression, subject matter and representational manner of style. His late works, including the said painting, are said to have been immensely influenced by Raphael and Michelangelo’s Vatican frescoes (Cavallini to Veronese), and, given the texture, colors, lines and composition of The Rest on the Flight Into Egypt With Saint John Baptist and Two Angels, this statement is easy to believe.

The lines Continue reading...

Definition of attachment

Attachment, in general terms, can be defined as a close connection between two people, not depending on their location, lasting in time, and which serves as a source of emotional intimacy (Falberg, 2012). Attachment is the desire for intimacy with another person, along with the effort to maintain this closeness. For children, attachment is a vital necessity in the literal sense of the word: babies who are left without emotional warmth may die despite normal care, and in older children, the development process may be disrupted because of the lack of affection and attachment to other people. Strong attachment Continue reading...

1st Paragraph

Piaget’s theory of cognitive development posits that after birth, an infant adapts the world through assimilation and accommodation.
This theory hypothesizes that a child takes in information and materials from the surrounding environment. This usually alters the mind making it healthy.
This theory has four stages of development namely sensory –motor stage, preoperational stage, stage of concrete operation, and stage of formal operations. According to him this is witnessed from birth to the second year after birth.

During the first stage, there is a dramatic development of reflexes and motor capabilities.

In addition, what is usually observed after involuntary motion is completely developed is intelligence.
One developmental task during this stage is Continue reading...

Executive summary

The most efficient care that a mother can offer to her child is breastfeeding him or her for the first six or more months without any supplementary feeds. Therefore, protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding is one of the critical health requirements for a toddler. This should, therefore, be promoted by healthcare providers such as nurses, doctors, pharmacist among others. These providers should advocate this issue in our society by implementing different policies (Lindberg, 2011). The target audience for this policy on promotion and support for breastfeeding was the director of Hope Clinic in Ypsilanti, Mathew Hudson. After contacting Continue reading...

Postpartum Depression

Mood disorders are common amongst women in the postpartum period. There are three major categories of postpartum affective disorders: postpartum blues, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis (Brockington, 2004). An estimated 85% of all new mothers report experiencing some form of postpartum blues. Symptoms of postpartum blues are mild as compared to those of postpartum depression and include irritability, mood lability, and emotional hypersensitivity. The symptoms of postpartum blues occur within 2-4 days of delivery and resolve within days (World Health Organization (WHO), 2009). Postpartum psychosis is rare; it affects 1-2 women /1000 births. Its clinical onset is relatively fast Continue reading...

Introduction

The scientific understanding of man’s learning process or how the mind acquires knowledge is of utmost importance to psychologists especially those whose concern is on child growth and development. For the same reason, several studies have been conducted in order to increase scientific knowledge on this area. Among the most influential theorists in cognitive learning is the Swiss psychologist, Jean Piaget. According to Piaget, children are born with a basic mental structure that enables them to make various responses. As Piaget observed, the cognition process starts with simple responses and develops into a complex processes as the child Continue reading...

Leukemia is the most common types of cancer that affect children. It accounts to approximately 25 percent of all childhood cancers. It is a type of cancer that affects the blood or bone marrow. Approximately 2,200 children are affected each year in the United States alone (National Cancer Institute, 2014).

Causes and Risk Factors

As is true for all forms of leukemia, scientists are not exactly sure what causes the disease. In the case of childhood leukemia, research interest is intensive. Childhood leukemia cannot be attributed to one specific risk factor. As with most cancers, the potential causes are cumulative and people Continue reading...

Abstract

Scientific researches show that milk was not always the American staple that it became in the 20th century. Nevertheless, milk has been preached as a diet staple that should not be missed in any diet, least, an individual deprives himself from the necessary vitamins and minerals that milk has to offer.

Despite having a great deal in common with each other in terms of economic disparities and health outcome improvements, there are some noted disparities in several health outcomes between India and China in the past 50 years. One of these outcomes is overall life expectancy; for the most part, the Chinese find themselves living much longer and healthier than Indian people (Chatterji et al., 2008). Women in China live up to 74 years on average, while Indian women are typically only expected to live around 63 years (Ma & Sood, 2008). This is an incredibly large disparity (though it is Continue reading...

Brain and psycho-social development seems to be more prone during infancy. In the initial months, an infant’s actions reflect the “discrepant labeling paradigm” by looking at a different object and not the one being pointed at. However, by the eighteenth month, a toddler should already have the ability to seek out clues through gaze direction, in order to know the speaker’s intended referent (Reddy, year, p.253). They should already have genuine intentional inference, as they can already detect underlying intentions of simple and complex actions. This “action analysis” is the first step of development witnessed in toddlers, Continue reading...
