Abstract
The article reviews the results of a survey of healthcare professionals from different regions working with the children’s population. The survey included specialists working in the field of rehabilitation of children who underwent neuroinfections and other disorders of the nervous system, as well as specialists providing other types of medical care to the children. The survey was mainly attended by experienced specialists. Almost half of the respondents have a seniority of more than 20 years (47.0%). According to the results of the study, it was established that practically every fifth doctor (19.8%) does not know where the rehabilitation help to the children who underwent neuroinfections is provided. The weighty shares of experts point to the extreme urgency of such problems as the waiting time for the commencement of rehabilitation, the transportation of children to the rehabilitation site, the lack of modern medical equipment, the lack of doctors and nurses and other problems. 60.3% of the respondents indicated a significant shortage of specialists able to provide rehabilitation assistance to children who had undergone neuroinfections. One out of every five respondent (18.2%) pointed to the lack of growth in the quality of rehabilitation measures in their region. And 22.4% of specialists noted the lack of the gain in high-tech methods of rehabilitation of children in their region. An analysis of the responses of specialists made it possible to identify two main groups of problems to which management decisions should be directed. These groups include organizational and financial problems. All specialists point to the need to expand the network of medical institutions that provide rehabilitation to children who have undergone neuroinfections, as well as the need to introduce new rehabilitation techniques into practice.
