„Wyjść poza biały fartuch"- dziecko jako podmiot relacji lekarz-pacjent - aspekt teoretyczny

The physician-patient relationship is very specific because of its subject. In literature, it is termed the triangle agreement because it involves three individuals as subjects of the relationship: physician, child and (depending on the child’s age) parents. They pass information to each other, observe and are observed. Parents’ involvement in the physician-child relationship is multifaceted and depends on a variety of factors, the most important ones include: the child’s age and/or level of intellectual development, experiences, personality, etc. It can be expected that the physician-child relationship proceeds differently depending on the environment in which it occurs (e.g., a visit at the pediatrician’s office, dentist’s office, at the department of pediatrics, a hospital admission room or an emergency department). The manner in which the physician initiates and sustains the relationship with the patient (not only a child) affects the patient’s feelings and behavior. Moreover, it conditions the patient’s satisfaction and compliance. This paper focuses on the relationship that emerges between the physician – the child – parents at the department of pediatrics in a hospital.

ANÁLISE DE FUNGOS ANEMÓFILOS EM HOSPITAL DA CIDADE DE ARIQUEMES, RONDÔNIA, AMAZÔNIA OCIDENTAL, BRASIL

Backgound and Objectives: The hospital internal air environment is strongly associated with nosocomial fungal infections. In order to investigate the presence of hospital airborne fungi in one of the hospitals in the town of Ariquemes, Rondônia, air samples were collected in open Petri dishes between 15 to 30 minutes, containing the universal culture medium for fungi and yeasts: Saboraund agar, in the morning and afternoon, during October 2012 in the Surgical Center, Materials Center, Minor Surgery Room, Nursing Station and Hospital Admission Room. The isolated colonies underwent macroscopic analysis and subsequently the microculture technique to demonstrate the presence of airborne pathogens. Fifty colonies were isolated and 12 fungal genera were identified. All sectors showed the presence of fungi, which emphasizes the need for microbiological monitoring, especially in rooms with infection prophylaxis priority.
