Abstract

From the perspective of preventive medical discourse, early interventional screening is one of the most important ways to intervene with developmentally delayed children and an important service for children’s public health. This paper details an historical perspective of early developmental screening in the United States and reexamines the concepts of early screening in widespread use in children’s populations to expose undisclosed facts. These facts remind us that early developmental screening might not be totally based on children’s needs, but on both the government’s desires and political activities. As a result, a certain population was identified as subjects that required developmental screening resulting in very large numbers studies. Under these circumstances, developmental screening instruments were used in conjunction with pediatricians’ individualized appraisals. The approach to developmental surveillance was to expand from the children to the parents’ concern. The instrument not only legitimately recruited parents and facilitated parents’ surveillance of their children’s development, but was also was a platform for highlighting parent-child interactions. This discussion may help community health nurses further understand different perspectives of early interventional screening in practice.

Abstract

The World Health Organization's 1986 Ottawa Declaration (WHO/Europe, 2005, April 18) named the community as the best level at which to initiate health promotion activities and recognized "empowerment" as a main focus of modern health promotion activities. This implies that the success of health promotion initiatives relies on effective and creative community action, of which community empowerment is one of the three major influencing factors. Empowerment is a manner by which the resources of senior citizens can be reorganized and an awareness of their own capabilities cultivated. Moreover, empowerment is the best strategy to encourage senior citizen participation in the community as well as self-efficacy. Based on a review of the literature, this article introduces the definitions, concept development and vital components of community empowerment. Evidence-based research and examination instruments for the concept of empowerment are critically reviewed as well. In addition to discussing the application and effectiveness of senior citizen community participation and empowerment, this paper provides suggestions related to current community nursing care issues.

Abstract

Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is a goal-directed intervention, which involves placing appropriately qualified animals into the therapeutic environment of human patients. AAT is also a cross-professional cooperation model combining different health related disciplines, such as veterinary science, animal behavior, medicine, nursing, rehabilitation, and education. Based on concepts of concern for the welfare of both humans and animals, AAT provides an alternative route to comprehensive human health. This article describes the development and current state of canine Animal-Assisted Therapy in Taiwan. It covers the development of the relationship between humans and animals, a review of the literature about AAT, research, development, and outcomes in respect of the current AAT system in Taiwan. It also discusses practical issues concerning the AAT system, by means of examples. Suggestions regarding future services, professional development, education and research are also discussed.
