Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

292
Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Area of Science:

  • Child welfare
  • Developmental disabilities
  • Social work research

Background:

  • Children with developmental disabilities are disproportionately represented in the child welfare system.
  • Caseworkers are crucial for meeting the needs of these children.
  • Limited understanding exists regarding caseworkers' familiarity with developmental disabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore child welfare caseworkers' self-rated knowledge, exposure, and comfort levels with individuals with developmental disabilities.
  • To identify factors influencing caseworker perceptions and preparedness.

Main Methods:

  • An anonymous online survey was administered to 251 local county caseworkers.
  • Participants self-assessed their knowledge, exposure, and comfort regarding developmental disabilities.

Main Results:

  • Caseworkers recognized the importance of knowledge and training on developmental disabilities.
  • Higher levels of training were associated with increased caseworker knowledge and comfort.
  • Personal exposure to individuals with developmental disabilities was deemed relevant by caseworkers.

Conclusions:

  • Training and personal exposure are vital for enhancing caseworker effectiveness with children with developmental disabilities.
  • The findings highlight a need for targeted training initiatives within the child welfare system.
