TL;DR: Although a knowledge base in maternal--child nursing is emerging, nurses should move onward in a more systematic manner and develop more successful intraprofessional communication.
Abstract: Major subdivisions of research in maternal--child nursing (MCN) include childbearing, childrearing, care of the sick or hospitalized child, and a strong emerging emphasis on the special needs of the child in infancy and in special populations, such as mental retardation and chronic illnesses. An example of MCN research is presented--the Nursing Child Assessment Project, funded by the Division of Nursing, which provides a conceptual basis and methodologies to look at inputs and outputs of expressions of child health and illness. Strategies to assist maternal-child nurse scholars to add to their data base--particularly a focus on infancy, childrearing, and specific populations, including an extension into what now is becoming a major concern of American families, care of their aging members--are defined. Needed are additional mechanisms for providing research training for nurses in MCN, as is a network for collaboration and cooperation in the form of systematic input into literature retrieval systems supportive of concepts and which would further the ability to communicate for the exchange of validation of ideas. Although a knowledge base in MCN is emerging, nurses should move onward in a more systematic manner and develop more successful intraprofessional communication.

TL;DR: A scheme to provide specialised nursing care for sick children in their own homes was begun in Gateshead in 1974 and nursed at home 22 children referred to them by general practitioners as the alternative to hospital admission and 39 discharged to their care by the hospital.
Abstract: A scheme to provide specialised nursing care for sick children in their own homes was begun in Gateshead in 1974. Selected district nurses were retrained in the paediatric unit on which the scheme was based and nursed at home 22 children referred to them by general practitioners as the alternative to hospital admission and 39 discharged to their care by the hospital. Most of the children were aged 3 years or less and came from working-class homes. Most of the mothers who were asked were in favour of the scheme.

TL;DR: All the special care baby units in three Thames health regions completed a one-day census on the number of infants in the unit, staffing, and facilities, showing that there was room for the rationalisation of facilities for their care.
Abstract: All the special care baby units in three Thames health regions completed a one-day census on the number of infants in the unit, staffing, and facilities. The results were assessed in the light of the recommendations of an expert group set up by the Department of Health and Social Security. Although the provision of cots (6.1-6.9 per 1000 live births) was more generous than the estimated need and the occupancy rate (59--63%) lower than suggested, some units did not have adequate trained nursing cover at night, some did not have resident paediatricians, and some lacked essential equipment. Some small units, on the other hand, had very expensive equipment that was probably underused. Relating this provision to the regional statistics on babies needing special care showed that there was room for the rationalisation of facilities for their care. Factors that should be considered in planning such care include the size of the child-bearing population, the percentage of infants of low birth weights, and the proximity of specialist paediatric and maternity units and pathology facilities. It is also essential to monitor the effectiveness of the care by assessing the outcome in babies admitted to special units, especially those of low birth weight.

TL;DR: Nursing sisters with additional training in pediatric diagnosis and therapy were able to manage over 90% of the childred who presented at a primary care clinic.
Abstract: A comparison was made of the management, by nursing sisters and a paediatrician, of 76 children attending primary care clinics. In 95% of consultations, the treatment and the presumed outcome of treatment were identical. The nursing sisters identified correctly all children for whom a second opinion was needed. If nursing sisters are responsible for primary care, they can be expected to refer approximately 10% of the children they see.
