This study was conducted to examine the effect of planned baby care education on maternal attachment and self-confidence levels in primiparous mothers. The research was carried out using a pre-test, post-test, quasi-experimental design with a control group. In the intervention group, mothers were given planned baby care education and an education booklet. Both the median maternal attachment score and the mean self-confidence score increased by statistically significant levels in the intervention group, whereas there were no significant differences in the control group. It is recommended that primiparous mothers in particular should receive education regarding baby care.

Background Research shows that palliative care for children requires special attention and a coordinated approach to support the child and its entire family. In June 2012 a project was started in the Women's and Children's Clinic, Academic Medical Centre, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.The aim of this project is to give a child with a life threatening or life limiting illness the highest possible quality of life and to relieve parents from all coordination tasks. Methods We developed a multi-disciplinary team of professionals, called the Emma Home Team (EHT), to support families with a child in the palliative phase. A case manager (a paediatric nurse) visits the family at home and coordinates the care in collaboration with parents and professionals to provide a unique situation for each family.When the treatment period has finished the case manager evaluates the care with the parents and professionals involved. Results In the last 18 months over 90 families were supported by the EHT. In 32 cases the care is finished and evaluated. These evaluations all show the importance of the coordinating function of the case manager. Parents who were supported by the EHT indicated that the commitment, expertise and accessibility of the team were a great support for them. Conclusion The interventions by the EHT seem to have an important added value for children and families in the palliative phase. A next step is to see if this way of caregiving can be used in other hospitals. Objective The aim of this study was to determinate falling risk ofchildren who have been in Gulhane Military Medical Academy Hospital. Methods The study wascaried out at department of paediatric surgery and department of pediatricsbetween February-March 2014 in Gulhane Military Medical Academy Hospital. Thepopulation of the study was consisted of 122 children. Diagnostic Falling RiskScale for Child Patients were used for data collection. Results In the study group 36.1% of patients were female and 69.9%were male. The majority of patients were <3 years of age (32.8%). Thereasons having been in hospital in hospital included pulmonary disease (18.6%),neurological or neuromuscular disorders (13.7%), and cardiac disorders (2%), complicationsof prematurity (8.8%), inguinal region deformity (3%), immunological disease (5.9%), fluid and electrolyte disorders (3.8%),poisoning (%3) and cancer (27.5). It was 57.4% staying in hospital which isrange from one to seven days. It was found that falling risks were high levelwhich is 97.5%. There wasno stastically important difference in falling risks between gender (p?0.005). Conclusion It was found high falling risk for children who have beenin our hospital. 10.1136/archdischild-2014-307384.1498 Background and aims The aim of this study was to determine the thoughts of adolescent pregnants/mothers about motherhood.
