Public health nurses in Ireland are charged with conducting a home visit to every postnatal mother within 48 hours of hospital discharge. This represents the beginning of a long-term relationship, not only with the mother and newborn child but also with the family. This article fundamentally demonstrates the essential work of the public health nurse in promoting the health of the baby within a family. In this article, the expertise the public health nurse uses in the first visit is examined in the context of 3 competencies: communication, partnerships with the family, and partnerships with individual family members. This expertise provides the foundation for a long-term therapeutic relationship with the family to the essential benefit of the baby's early childhood growth and developmental milestones. Consequently, the first postnatal visit by public health nursing in Ireland represents a synergy of practice, which provides the foundation for enduring family relationships focused on potentializing both individual family members' health and the family as a dynamic unit.
爱尔兰的公共卫生护士负责在产妇出院后48小时内进行家访。这标志着一段长期关系的开始,不仅是与母亲和新生儿,还有与整个家庭的关系。本文从根本上展示了公共卫生护士在促进家庭中婴儿健康方面的重要工作。在本文中,公共卫生护士首次家访时所运用的专业技能将在沟通、与家庭建立伙伴关系以及与家庭成员建立伙伴关系这三项能力的背景下进行审视。这种专业技能为与家庭建立长期治疗关系奠定了基础,对婴儿的幼儿期成长和发育里程碑有着至关重要的益处。因此,爱尔兰公共卫生护理的首次产后家访体现了一种实践协同效应,为持久的家庭关系奠定了基础,这种关系专注于提升每个家庭成员的健康以及作为一个动态整体的家庭的健康。
