Today, due to misapplications in the post-partum and neonatal period, many newborns are at high risk in terms of mortality and morbidity, especially in developing countries. Unfortunately, in spite of the development of modern medicine and the ease of access to information, the situation remains as a problem, which should be addressed as a priority for our country, which has rich cultural and traditional features. In this compilation created by scanning the national literature, various traditional methods applied by family members in the neonatal period in our country, the reasons for their practices and these practices’ effects on newborn health were examined. As a result, it was determined that some of the traditional methods applied to the newborn contribute to the child’s health positively, some have not any effect, and some have serious or fatal consequences. It is recommended to know the results of these methods applied in various regions and cultures in our country, to organize training programs for nurses, maternal-infant health workes and family members about the importance of this issue, to develop the scales on newborns about the traditional practices and to allow for the researches which examine the health status in the coming years of the children applied traditional methods in the neonatal period.
This study was conducted to examine the literature on disease management programs in children with asthma. In the literature review, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane and Wiley databases were searched by using the keywords "asthma" and "children" and "disease management" and "nursing". Toplam 2282 makale belirlenmiştir. The search is limited to the publication year 2013-2020, the publication language is English, and the search area is title, abstract and keywords. Ten articles which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were evaluated. The analyzed studies were synthesized as author name-surname, year of publication, country and journal, study design, purpose, sample, method, result and database. 6 of the studies were randomized controlled experimental study, 3 were pretest-posttest one-group quasi-experimental study, and 1 was a prospective randomized controlled pilot study. The ages of the participants range from 2 to 18 years. Most of the studies are education-based initiatives. The implemented initiatives reduced the severity of the disease, physical limitation, school absenteeism, emergency service admissions, and the frequency of hospitalization in children; increased sleep quality, disease self-management, disease knowledge level and quality of life. In conclusion, these data show that various interventions to improve disease management in children with asthma are effective. For this reason, it is recommended that pediatric nurses and school health nurses plan multi-faceted intervention attempts by identifying the problems which the children with asthma experience regarding symptom control.
