In 1969 a pediatric home nursing service was started in Southampton to care for sick children at home. The primary role of the children's nurse in the community is discussed with particular reference to day case surgery, early discharge, care of the mentally and physically handicapped, pediatric medical care, prevention of a hospital admission, and care of the terminally ill. The secondary roles of teaching and liaison between the hospital and the primary health care team is discussed. After 10 yr experience with over 12,000 admissions to the day unit we believe that the majority of general surgical procedures such as circumcision, inguinal herniotomy, and orchidopexies can be safely undertaken on a day basis. The provision of adequate nursing care in the community which is closely linked with the hospital has been one of the main reasons for the success of the scheme.
1969年,南安普敦启动了一项儿科家庭护理服务,以便在家中照顾患病儿童。文中特别提及日间手术、早期出院、对精神和身体残疾儿童的护理、儿科医疗护理、预防住院以及对绝症患儿的护理,探讨了社区儿童护士的主要职责。还讨论了教学以及医院与初级卫生保健团队之间联络的次要职责。在日间病房接收了超过12000例患者并积累了10年经验之后,我们认为,大多数普通外科手术,如包皮环切术、腹股沟疝修补术和睾丸固定术,都可以在日间进行且安全无虞。在社区提供与医院紧密相连的充分护理,是该计划取得成功的主要原因之一。
