1St Bartholomew's School of Nursing and Midwifery, City University, London.
Insights
This study assesses care for a 10-month-old with tracheomalacia (a congenital airway disorder) using Roy's model. It highlights structured health promotion and the roles of healthcare professionals in meeting the child's needs.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Nursing
- Congenital Disorders
- Healthcare Models
Background:
- Tracheomalacia is a congenital condition causing respiratory distress in infants.
- Effective care planning is crucial for managing this disorder.
- Existing literature often lacks a structured nursing model approach for tracheomalacia.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess and plan care for a 10-month-old child diagnosed with tracheomalacia.
- To explore the application of Roy's Adaptation Model in pediatric nursing for congenital disorders.
- To emphasize the importance of health promotion strategies tailored to the child's needs.
Main Methods:
- Case study approach focusing on a 10-month-old infant with tracheomalacia.
- Application of Roy's Adaptation Model to guide assessment and care planning.
- Review of the roles of the health visitor and multidisciplinary team.
Main Results:
- Roy's model provided a structured framework for assessing and planning care.
- Identified key health promotion needs for the child with tracheomalacia.
- Highlighted the collaborative efforts required from the health visitor and multidisciplinary team.
Conclusions:
- Roy's Adaptation Model is a valuable tool for managing pediatric tracheomalacia.
- A structured, multidisciplinary approach enhances health promotion and care delivery.
- Addressing care constraints is essential for optimal outcomes in children with congenital respiratory disorders.
Abstract:
Tracheomalacia is a congenital disorder characterised by respiratory distress. The care for a 10 month old child with Tracheomalacia is assessed and planned using Roy's model. The importance of a structured approach to health promotion to meet the child's needs is explored. The roles of the health visitor and multidisciplinary team in meeting the child and family's needs are discussed. The constraints to providing optimal care are briefly discussed.
