V prispevku raziskujeva vprašanja, povezana z zdravstvenim stanjem in smrtnostjo otrok v Emoni. V ospredje postavljava diskrepanco med ocenjeno visoko smrtnostjo otrok v rimskem času in relativno ...nizkim odstotkom doslej odkritih otroških grobov v Emoni. Rezultati analiz kremiranih ostankov iz nekaterih zgodnjerimskih emonskih grobov kažejo, da je bila v posamezen grob včasih pokopana več kot ena oseba, pogosto skupaj odrasli in otrok. V prispevku se sprašujeva, ali so to doslej neodkriti pokopi emonskih otrok, in iščeva tudi druge možne razlage. Poleg tega podajava nekaj informacij o zdravstvenem stanju emonskih otrok na osnovi doslej pregledanega gradiva.

Otroci so bili iz različnih razlogov že od samega začetka cenobitskega meništva del samostanskih skupnosti. Otrok in samostan sta sicer na videz nezdružjiva pojma, ki pa se srečata v danes obskurni, ...nekdaj pa močno uveljavljeni religiozni praksi otroških oblacij, ki svoj vzpon pričenja ob zatonu antične kulture. V prispevku bomo orisali religijski fenomen otroških oblatov, otrok, ki so jih starši že v rani mladosti »(za)puščali«, »podarjali« oz. »posvečevali« samostanom iz različnih vzgibov. Benediktova regula, absoluten kodeks zahodnega meništva, na večih mestih omenja otroke v samostanu, zlasti otroke – oblate in jih kot način posvečenga življenja tudi institucionalizira. Kakšen je bil njihov položaj in vloga v meniški skupnosti? Kako se je tovrstna praksa razvija in iz vzhoda prenesla na zahod? Kaj je botrovalo takšni praksi in kakšni so bili vzgibi staršev za tovrstno ravnanje? Gre res le za antično expositio ali pa so razlogi bolj religiozne narave?
Prispevek se na primeru skupine stel, pripisanih isti celejski delavnici, osredotoča na upodobitve otrok oziroma v prvi vrsti na razmerje med starostjo portretiranca in starostjo, navedeno na ...epitafu. Te sicer običajne »anomalije« še posebej pogosto nastopijo tudi v donavskih provincah, kjer so potomci nemalokrat upodobljeni kot majhni otroci, četudi gre za (skoraj) odrasle osebe. Bodisi so bili uporabljeni spomeniki z vnaprej izklesano shemo bodisi so starši želeli s tem poudariti relacijo starši-otrok. Na skupini obravnavanih stel je le v enem primeru hči prikazana kot odrasla oseba. Temu je bržkone botrovalo dejstvo, da je bila prav ona tudi naročnica, upodobitev fantka s Horusovim čopom na drugi steli ter oblačila otrok, ki se ujemajo z opravo matere oziroma očeta, pa nakazujejo, da so vse bile izklesane individualno, po naročilu.
Healthcare workers (HCW) can have an important role in educating parents about child road safety, but research on the topic shows that they usually do not have adequate knowledge. Thus, the aim of ...our study was to analyze their knowledge in the field of child road safety.
The cross-sectional study was conducted among HCW from South Bačka district, Serbia, using a specially created questionnaire for assessing knowledge on road traffic injuries in children.
The research involved the participation of 317 healthcare workers (86 physicians and 231 nurses). Healthcare workers from primary healthcare made up almost 70% of all respondents, followed by those from tertiary (21.8%) and secondary (11.3%) level institutions. The average percentage of correct answers on the knowledge test was 74.3% (mean=22.3, SD=4.0). Out of all respondents, HCWs employed in the paediatrics department had a significantly higher percentage of correct answers at 77.7% (mean=23.3, SD=3.4) compared to other health workers at 73% (mean=21.9, SD=4.1) (p=0.002). Association analysis demonstrated that HCW employed at paediatric departments on average scored 1.37 (95% CI: 0.40-2.33, p=0.006) points higher in comparison with other HCW.
This research demonstrated an unsatisfactory level of knowledge on child road safety by HCW, and the variability across different question domains, which underlines the need for continuous educations in order to improve their knowledge. Our results may serve in planning additional public health measures and can provide a reference for future studies.
ABSTRACT Introduction There has been no valid and reliable instrument available to measure the impact of oral health on the quality of life of Slovenian preschool children. The main aim of this study ...was to develop and evaluate the validity and reliability of the first Slovenian instrument assessing Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) preschool children: the ECOHIS-SVN. Methods The ECOHIS-SVN was developed using forward-backward translations and with the participation of children aged under six and their parents. The children’s teeth were examined, and parents were asked to complete questionnaires, including the ECOHIS-SVN. The internal consistency of ECOHIS-SVN was evaluated through the calculation of Cronbach’s alpha (α), test-retest reliability with an intra-class-correlation coefficient (ICC), convergent validity with Spearman’s rank correlation (r) and criterion validity with the Mann-Whitney test. The association between the ECOHIS-SVN score and parents’ age, educational level, self-reported oral health and OHIP-SVN14 was estimated using multiple linear regression. Results In the study, 255 children participated, with a mean age of 4.8 years (±0.8). The ECOHIS-SVN questionnaire was completed by the parents of all 255 children and re-filled by 71 parents. The results of the total ECOHIS-SVN scale include α=0.85, ICC=0.85, and r=0.6-0.75. A statistically significant association was found between the ECOHIS-SVN and parents’ age and between the ECOHIS-SVN and parents’ OHIP-SVN14 in the whole group and in the subgroup of children with no teeth affected by cavitated caries (dmft=0) (p=0.025, p=0.028), respectively. Conclusion ECOHIS-SVN enables further studies to assess the OHRQoL of preschool children in the Slovenian-speaking population.
