Insights

Maternal perceptions reveal fathers actively participate in caring for children with chronic diseases, though their involvement varies. Increased paternal engagement is crucial for better child health outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nursing
  • Family Health
  • Chronic Disease Management

Background:

  • Paternal involvement in childcare is increasingly recognized as vital.
  • Understanding maternal perceptions of paternal care is key for supporting families with chronically ill children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze maternal perceptions of paternal care for children with chronic diseases.
  • To explore how paternal care is practically implemented within the family routine.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative, exploratory-descriptive study.
  • Conducted with 10 mothers of children with chronic diseases (diagnosis > 6 months).
  • Data collected via semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically.

Main Results:

  • Fathers participated in routine care, medication management, leisure activities, and household chores.
  • Paternal role engagement varied based on time availability and maternal autonomy.
  • Parental distance in separated couples negatively impacted the child's health.

Conclusions:

  • Involving fathers in the care of chronically ill children is essential.
  • There is a need to enhance and promote greater paternal involvement in pediatric chronic disease management.

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

COPD is defined as a heterogeneous lung condition marked by persistent respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and sputum production, caused by abnormalities in the airways that cause airflow obstruction.
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...

Chronic Kidney Disease I: Introduction

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) arises when the kidneys progressively lose their ability to function, ultimately leading to end-stage renal disease. At this advanced stage, the kidneys can no longer filter waste or maintain essential body functions, requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) through dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival.Early-stage chronic kidney disease and detection challengesIn CKD's early stages, symptoms often remain absent because healthy nephrons compensate for...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-I: Introduction01:20

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-I: Introduction

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-lasting respiratory condition requiring continuous attention and care. It is a progressive lung disease that leads to breathing challenges due to airflow obstruction. It manifests as persistent respiratory symptoms and restricted airflow resulting from abnormalities in the airways and alveoli, usually due to long-term exposure to harmful particles or gases. COPD mainly consists of two primary conditions: emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
