Результаты мониторинга здоровья детей дошкольного возраста в Вологодской области: педагогическая интерпретация

Abstract

. Introduction. The health status of the child population depends on many factors. If in infancy and early age, biomedical and social factors have a greater influence, then in preschool, the family's lifestyle and standard of living, the quality of medical care become more important. The relevance of an in-depth study of the health of preschool children is also due to the fact that there are no allocated data on morbidity from 3 to 6 years in official statistics. Accordingly, it is not possible to analyze the age-specific characteristics of the child's health and development. Therefore, it becomes necessary to study this topic using sociological methods. Considering that the majority of children, from 3 to 6 years old, attend preschool educational institutions, the purpose of the study was to assess the quality of medical care for preschool children in Vologda Oblast. Materials and Methods: in 2017-2020, within the framework of the monitoring "Study of the conditions for the formation of a healthy generation", the object was families with children from 0 to 18 years old living in the Vologda region. Results. The publication presents the selective results of assessing the opinions of parents about health, the organization of medical care for children from 3 to 6 years old, a cohort born in 2014. The conducted research allows us to draw the following conclusions: parents and pediatricians note a low level of health of preschool children. At the same time, satisfaction with medical services in the assessments of parents shows the presence of certain problems: low availability and high cost of drugs. One of the reasons for this situation is the withdrawal from the state of the educational organization of medical workers.
