Складні події останніх років в Україні накладають відбиток на всіх нас. Психологи кваліфікують їх як екстремальні, а емоційну відповідь на них називають «травмати...чним стресом». Нічого ненормального в цьому немає, адже це нормальні реакції на ненормальні події (тобто такі, що виходять за рамки звичного людського досвіду). Страждають від травматичного стресу не лише безпосередні учасники подій, а й ті, хто постійно живе в тривозі, напрузі, спостерігаючи за подіями в ЗМІ або переживаючи за близьких, які можуть бути в небезпеці. Це стосується і дітей. Навіть не розуміючи дета- лей того, що відбувається навколо, вони бачать напруженість і страх батьків, чують тривожні висловлювання. Тому, вірогідно, дітям може знадобитися допомога у відновленні рівноваги. Адже саме дорослі — чи не єдине джерело спокою для них. Ми виклали кілька порад, як поводитися в склад- них ситуаціях і навчитися розуміти себе і своїх дітей. Сподіваємося, вони стануть вам у пригоді.

The global increase of healthcare-associated infections (HAI) presents a growing concern in healthcare worldwide. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the annual number of HAI exceeds 2.6million and produces the highest estimated amou...nt of disability-adjust-ed-life-years, surpassing all other reported communicable diseases in the European Union and European Economic Area. Multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative (MDR-GN) bacteria have become increasingly common as a cause for HAI, such as central line-as-sociated bloodstream infections, wound or surgical site infections and catheter-associated urinary tract infections

For the primary health worker in a low/middle-income country (LMIC) setting, delivering quality primary care is challenging. This is often complicated by clinical guidance that is out of date, inconsistent and informed by evidence from high-income countries that ignores LMIC resource constraints and... burden of disease. The Knowledge Translation Unit (KTU) of the University of Cape Town Lung Institute has developed, implemented and evaluated a health systems intervention in South Africa, and localised it to Botswana, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Brazil, that simplifies and standardises the care delivered by primary health workers while strengthening the system in which they work. At the core of this intervention, called Practical Approach to Care Kit (PACK), is a clinical decision support tool, the PACK guide. This paper describes the development of the guide over an 18-year period and explains the design features that have addressed what the patient, the clinician and the health system need from clinical guidance, and have made it, in the words of a South African primary care nurse, ‘A tool for every day for every patient’. It describes the lessons learnt during the development process that the KTU now applies to further development, maintenance and in-country localisation of the guide: develop clinical decision support in context first, involve local stakeholders in all stages, leverage others’ evidence databases to remain up to date and ensure content development, updating and localisation articulate with implementation.
