Child- and family-centered care in the treatment of children - knowledge, attitudes, practice.
Despite the advances in medical technology, health care improvements have not always been accompanied by commensurate attention to the child's well-being. Psychological and emotional status of children during hospital treatment is often underestimated. Namely, certain kind of institutional negligence is frequently present in everyday practice in children's institutions. Many hospitals in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) have become child-friendly during the implementation of the Project on Child-Friendly Hospitals supported by UNICEF and WHO. Apart from the introduction of child friendly environment, staff in hospitals was trained to provide a holistic approach. The program was closely linked to the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative that supported breastfeeding. A few years thereafter, our focus is still on the physical treatment of sick children, whereas the attention to their anxieties, fears and suffering has failed. A more serious approach to this problem is needed and should begin at an educational level in medical school programs. Accordingly, our philosophy (mission) should change from a mechanical (techno-) medicine to holistic medicine.
Human Rights Education in Schools in the Post-Communist Context.
new legal frameworks evolve, individuals need to learn explicitly about their rights and responsibilities as citizens of both their country and the world, and this knowledge needs to be conveyed in such a way that individuals are also given the personal tools for acting upon these rights. Schooling is one mechanism for promoting the knowledge and practice of these democratic principles, and knowledge of human rights themes is part of the undergirding of democratic practice. I plan to present the imperatives and complexities of introducing human rights principles at the primary and secondary levels of schooling in post-communist societies. The lessons learned to date shed general light on the challenges endemic to planning for change in political education during a period of political transition. Three questions form the core of this paper.
