Children With Chronic Conditions

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the experiences of families in the exercise of the rights of children with chronic conditions in public health, education and social assistance institutions. Method: ethnographic multiple case study, with qualitative approach, following the theoretical approach of Boaventura Santos. Experiences of the families of these children in a city were studied through interviews with family members, managers and professionals from social institutions (35), participant observations in social spaces (13) and creation of eco-maps (3). Critical Discourse Analysis was performed. Results: the offer of services is lower than the demand, and exclusion processes persist. Given the hegemony of neoliberal and normality ideologies, meetings between family members and professionals revealed obstacles to civil rights; however, when these ideologies were challenged, the realization of their rights was enhanced. Final considerations: the care to promote civil rights requires family members, managers and professionals to develop subjectivities that overcome neoliberal and normality ideologies, recognizing these children as subjects of law.

RESUMOObjetivo: conhecer o que vem sendo produzido sobre o cuidado à família da criança com doença crônica. Método: revisão integrativa que buscou conhecer as publicações dos últimos 10 anos nas bases de dados MEDLINE, LILACS, BDENF, INDEX PSICOL e na biblioteca virtual SciELO. Após a leitura dos artigos selecionados, foram analisados os dados dos estudos referentes à autoria, objetivos, ano de publicação, método e nível de evidência. Resultados: com base nos achados, foram definidas duas categorias temáticas << Enfrentando o diagnóstico da doença crônica, mudança de hábitos e reorganização familiar >> e << Rotinas de cuidado das famílias com crianças com condição crônica >>. Conclusão: as famílias das crianças com doença crônica são afastadas de suas rotinas, muitas vezes, perdendo o controle sobre suas vidas. Acredita-se que se a família for bem informada sobre a patologia e empoderada para os cuidados à criança, esta poderá desenvolver autonomia sobre a organização da sua vida.

Method: integrative review that sought to survey the publications of the last 10 years in the MEDLINE, LILACS, BDENF, INDEX PSICOL databases and in the virtual library SciELO. After reading the selected articles, we analyzed data of the studies regarding authorship, objectives, year of publication, method and level of evidence. Results: the findings led to two thematic categories << Facing the diagnosis of a chronic disease, change of habits and family reorganization >> and << Care routines of families with children with chronic conditions >>. Conclusion: Families of children with chronic diseases have their routines modified, often losing control over their lives. We believe that if families are well informed about the pathology and if they are empowered to care for the child, they will be able to develop autonomy over the organization of their lives.

Children With Chronic Conditions

Objective. Children with chronic illnesses and disabilities are increasingly enrolling in managed care arrangements. Yet, the rapid expansion of managed care has unknown consequences for children with chronic conditions and disabilities. As managed care is likely to become the predominant mode of medical practice for children with chronic health problems, information gained from a thorough assessment of existing managed care models could be helpful in indicating adjustments and modifications that could result in improved outcomes for this population. The purpose of this article is to outline a new strategy for collecting needed information on the effects of managed care on children with chronic health problems. Methods. We reviewed the literature on the effects of managed care on children with chronic conditions and disabilities. We identified key domains relevant to monitoring and evaluating managed care for this population. Results. Two research approaches can provide helpful information for assessing the effects of managed care on children with chronic conditions. First, a monitoring strategy could be pursued in which enrollment trends in managed care, enrollee perceptions of access and satisfaction with care, and other general indicators of outcomes would be tracked over time using inexpensive and rapid turnaround data sources. Second, an evaluative strategy could be pursued using experimental or quasiexperimental designs, in which outcomes across a variety of domains for children with chronic conditions in managed care are compared with: (a) outcomes for the same children before enrollment in managed care; or (b) outcomes for similar children remaining in traditional fee-for-service settings. Evaluation and monitoring strategies should focus on outcomes in a number of domains including: (1) access to care; (2) utilization of services; (3) quality of care; (4) satisfaction with care; (5) expenditures for care; (6) health outcomes; and (7) family impact. Conclusion. Assessing outcomes that result from enrollment in managed care for children with chronic health problems presents a formidable challenge. The research strategy outlined in this article presents one approach to meeting that challenge. The monitoring and evaluation strategies described here would require commitment of additional resources on the part of government, private foundations, and/or health plans. Given the paucity of existing information and the stakes for children with chronic conditions and their families, investment of added resources in a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation strategy is essential.

Abstract Objectives To examine the socioeconomic status (SES) health gradient for obesity, diabetes, and hypertension within a diverse group of health outcomes and behaviors among older adults (60+) in upper middle-income countries benchmarked with high-income countries. Method We used data from three upper middle-income settings (Colombia-SABE-Bogotá, Mexico-SAGE, and South Africa-SAGE) and two high-income countries (England-ELSA and US-HRS) to estimate logistic regression models using age, gender, and education to predict health and health behaviors. Results The sharpest gradients appear in middle-income settings but follow expected patterns found in high-income countries for poor self-reported health, functionality, cognitive impairment, and depression. However, weaker gradients appear for obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and other chronic conditions in Colombia and Mexico and the gradient reverses in South Africa. Strong disparities exist in risky health behaviors and in early nutritional status in the middle-income settings. Discussion Rapid demographic and nutritional transitions, urbanization, poor early life conditions, social mobility, negative health behavior, and unique country circumstances provide a useful framework for understanding the SES health gradient in middle-income settings. In contrast with high-income countries, the increasing prevalence of obesity, an important risk factor for chronic conditions and other aspects of health, may ultimately change the SES gradient for diseases in the future.
