Voor veel coassistenten is het co-schap kindergeneeskunde de eerste kennismaking met zuigelingen en kinderen als patiënt. Het kindvriendelijke klimaat op de afdeling en de omgang met de patiëntjes zelf zal in het begin enige omschakeling vergen. Leidraad kindergeneeskunde biedt ondersteuning bij de vragen en onzekerheden die de co-assistent en beginnende arts-assistent in de kindergeneeskunde tegenkomen.De hoofdstukindeling correspondeert met de verschillende afdelingen waarmee je te maken krijgt in een algemeen ziekenhuis: kraamafdeling, afdeling neonatologie, afdeling algemene kindergeneeskunde, polikliniek en eerste hulp. Per hoofdstuk vind je eerst de belangrijkste begripsomschrijvingen die voor die afdeling van belang zijn. In het overlevingspakket kom je rekenregels en richtlijnen (bijvoorbeeld vochtbeleid of babyvoedingen) en scores (bijvoorbeeld Apgar- of astmascore) tegen. Voorts komen problemen aan bod die tot de belangrijkste en meest voorkomende van het vak kindergeneeskunde behoren en waarmee je je dus extra vertrouwd moet maken. De bijlagen bevatten onderwerpen die breder zijn dan de hoofdstukthema"s zoals het lichamelijk onderzoek bij een peuter/kleuter en tips en adviezen bij laboratoriumdiagnostiek

Pediatric firearm injuries are a significant public and medical community issue. Clinicians are on the front line caring for children, adolescents, and their families after a firearm injury or death. They also represent the best hopes for preventing firearm injuries to children and adolescents in the future. In circumstances of injury and violence they provide medical, mental health, and rehabilitative care. They also provide anticipatory guidance to prevent firearm injuries and deaths and should have a strong voice in the local, state and national discussions about firearm policies for injury prevention. This book provides an overview of the epidemiology and risk factors for firearm injuries in children and adolescents. It will serve as a practical clinical guide for firearm injury prevention at the individual, state and national levels. The beginning of the book focuses on the epidemiology of firearm injuries, primarily centered in the United States, but also including an international perspective. It addresses the role of firearms in suicide, homicide, and domestic violence, and examines mass shootings as well. The second half of the book focuses on preventive measures for firearm injuries including primary care and hospital-based interventions, community interventions, and state and federal legislation. It concludes with a background on the history of firearm research in the United States and future directions for decreasing firearm injuries. The book's overall focus is on public policy and the role of clinicians and public health advocates, while simultaneously offering practical tools and information about the clinician's role in intervention. Written by experts in the field, Pediatric Firearm Injuries and Fatalities is an ideal resource for pediatric, adolescent medicine, emergency medicine, primary care and family medicine clinicians. At the same time, it appeals to all clinicians and public health advocates wishing to develop a better understanding of pediatric firearm injuries and a path forward to decreasing them.

With growing attention surrounding the importance of physician well-being, organizations are institutionalizing physician well-being efforts. Promoting well-being requires a understanding of the components, barriers and promoters of physician well-being, While other books exist in this space, many are focused on individual resilience-building strategies or are too broad to apply to specific groups of physicians, such as pediatricians. A critical gap in the existing literature is a book that uses an evidence-based model of well-being and applying this model to unique experience of pediatricians. Rather than a work-centric approach, the physician well-being model we describe in this book takes a comprehensive approach to well-being, integrating evidence and expertise from a broad body of well-being research and translating this knowledge to the lives and work of pediatricians. Further, while other texts focus on negative consequences of a lack of well-being, such as burnout, this text is organized around defining, understanding and optimizing well-being. Each chapter will provide strategies for both individual pediatricians and healthcare organizations to consider to improve pediatrician well-being at their institution. This book integrates well-being science from disciplines outside of medicine, offering innovative strategies to addressing this important issue. This is a book designed for pediatricians, health care leaders, and organizations looking to better understand and implement strategies for pediatrician well-being. The authors will take readers on a journey through the history of physician well-being leading to the current state of well-being in the context of modern medical practice, technology, society, policy and family life. Using an integrated model of physician well-being, readers will learn about the current state, solutions, tensions and future directions of physician well-being.
