The Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS), also known as the Brazelton Neonatal Assessment Scale (BNAS), [1] was developed in 1973 by T. Berry Brazelton and his colleagues. [2] This test purports to provide an index of a newborn's abilities, and is usually given to an infant somewhere between the age of 3 days to 4 weeks old. [ 1 ]
Newborn screening programs initially used screening criteria based largely on criteria established by JMG Wilson and F. Jungner in 1968. [6] Although not specifically about newborn population screening programs, their publication, Principles and practice of screening for disease proposed ten criteria that screening programs should meet before being used as a public health measure.
Psychoanalytic infant observation generally involves a weekly observation over a two-year period of an infant soon after birth and until their second birthday. Trainees normally undertake the observation in the home setting for one hour per week at the same time in the week, to fit in with the family's schedule.
This type of observation is useful because it allows observers to see how individuals act in natural settings, rather than in the more artificial setting of a lab or experiment. A natural setting can be defined as a place in which behavior ordinarily occurs and that has not been arranged specifically for the purpose of observing behavior. [2]
A transport incubator is an incubator in a transportable form, and is used when a sick or premature baby is moved, e.g., from one hospital to another, as from a community hospital to a larger medical facility with a proper neonatal intensive-care unit.
For example, Wang et al. [16] that although the electronic nursing assessment form contained more documented assessment forms, which covered a wider range of resident care needs, they did not perform better than the previous [null paper-based assessment forms according to] the quality criteria of [null completeness] and timeliness. Therefore ...
Observations of daily living (ODLs) are cues that people attend to in the course of their everyday life, that inform them about their health. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] ODLs are different from signs , symptoms , and clinical indicators in that they are defined by the patient, and are not necessarily directly mapped to biomedical models of disease and ...
Despite these challenges, children with SHCN fare better than non-affected children in preventative health care and preventative dental care. [3] They have a higher rate of having health insurance than normal children. [2] They more frequently complete the recommended annual primary care visit, and bi-annual dentist visit. [2]
