Background This descriptive study was conducted in order to determine the self-respect and school success of the healthy siblings of the trainable mentally disabled children. Methods The data of the study was collected by informative data form and Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale between. The school grades of the healthy siblings at the end of the year were obtained from e-school system. The healthy siblings of 91 mentally disabled children who are getting private training and who have siblings were icluded in the study. Results The healthy siblings of the mentally disabled children icluded in the study, 42.8% were between the ages of 12-14 and 57.1% were female, 42.8% were attending second-level primary school classes. The self-respect point average of the healthy siblings of the mentally disabled children was 59.2 ± 14.9; and 69.2% of them had medium level, 27.5% of them high level of self-respect. The self-respect of the healthy siblings was affected by the gender of the mentally disabled sibling and the employment status of the father. The school success level of 60.4% of the healthy siblings at the end of the year was found to be 'good'. Conclusion Supporting the self-respect and school success of the healthy siblings of the mentally disabled children in a way that they would not be affected by their siblings' disability, the families' sparing enough time for the daily needs of the healthy children and their performences at school, improving the cooperation between parents. Background and aims Continuous quality improvement (QI) in healthcare is necessary. However many publications prove that often the implementation of innovations fails in daily hospital practice. We found a lack of knowledge and skills within the executing staff of our children's clinic in this field. The aim was to develop and realise an efficient and effective training to empower the responsible staff nurses in order to improve the success rate of QI implementation projects on the wards. PO-0891Methods After a critical analysis we developed basic principles for this training:· 'learning on the job'; students are using their own project during the course · focus on key elements of implementation and necessary competencies · immediately applicable in daily practice · the use of already in-hospital available knowledge · thorough quantitative and qualitative evaluations (oral and written). Results In 2013 we developed, realised and evaluated this implementation training; · developed by 6 professionals from 4 different fields · training in 4 daily periods (afternoons) in a 3-4 weeks interval · based on 4 implementation key-topics and 7 implementation competencies · 14 students; simultaneously invested in their own QI projects · student-scores (scale: 1-5) mean total training: 3.5 · high scores: applicability (4.4), personal learning efficiency (3.6), trainers (3.9). Discussion/conclusion We successfully designed and realised a training to improve the implementation knowledge and skills of the nursing staff. At present we are improving the train...

Arch Dis Child 2012;97(Suppl 2):A1-A539 A525 AbstractsMethod An interdisciplinary group from OUS children's department cooperated. After a thoroughly literature review medical knowledge and normalization of daily life was chosen to be highlighted. We individualized the information by dividing it into information categories like; pre-and postoperative considerations(2), different sirculatory consequences(5), medication management(12), nutrition, follow-up, a form to fill in about specific treatment and an uncompleted heart drawing to adapt to the infants diagnosis. A binder was designed to gather information and accompany infants trough coming years of follow-up and to be used in communication between parents and daycare and school. At discharge from OUS information sheets are distributed to local health service. Results A nationwide and evidence based systematic information system that allows health personnel tindividualize informational needs and cooperate across health services. Background and Aims According to Dutch legislation nurses are allowed to perform a number of medical procedures, known as "reserved procedures". Nurses are permitted to perform these procedures, but only after thorough education, training, examination and authorisation. The aim was to develop and implement an efficient and effective model to facilitate these demands, on behalf of the (non-ICU) nursing staff of our children's hospital. Methods We developed a cyclical blended learning method containing: e-learning, training of local assessors, bedside teaching, structural examination and registration. BUSINESS AS USUAL. A, PROVEN EFFECTIVE, MODEL TO TRAIN AND AUTHORISE NURSES IN RESERVED PROCEDURES IN A CHILDREN'S HOSPITALThe tool we developed is:
