Dramatic improvements have occurred in the overall health of our children driven by rigorous research translated into clinical practice. However, all is not well for too many, not only for their health but for other outcomes of their lives. These outcomes reflect poorly on how professional groups in child life and health have advocated effectively at the political level for the needs of children and for the services to support them. Professional staff in child health, including those involved in neonatal care, must become more effective in translating research into political advocacy for the best interests of children. A scientific approach to political advocacy is needed that is equivalent in its rigour to the best of bio-medical research. Above all, the care of the newly born infant should not be seen in isolation, but in the overall context of childhood and the services to support children today.
在严谨的研究转化为临床实践的推动下，我们孩子的整体健康状况有了显著改善。然而，对太多孩子来说，情况并非都好，不仅关乎他们的健康，还关乎他们生活的其他方面。这些情况反映出儿童生活与健康领域的专业团体在政治层面为儿童需求及支持他们的服务进行有效倡导的程度不佳。儿童健康领域的专业人员，包括参与新生儿护理的人员，必须在将研究转化为有利于儿童最大利益的政治倡导方面做得更有成效。需要一种科学的政治倡导方法，其严谨程度应等同于最优秀的生物医学研究。最重要的是，新生儿护理不应孤立看待，而应置于儿童期的整体背景以及当今支持儿童的服务之中。
