MCH overall objective� The ultimate goal of maternal and child health
nursing is to help children and parents attain and
maintain optimal health� To achieve that goal, nurses must be aware of
historical and current trends as well as national
goals to improve the health of the mother and
child
� The overall objective of maternal child health is to
protect the health of the mother and the child

Factors contributing to problem
in child health servicesEnvironmental Variables
Socio-economic and Cultural:
� Culture is made up of ideals, values, andassumptions about life that guide people¶s behavior ± transmitted from generation togeneration
� Believe that what happens in their culture isnatural and correct and what happens in other culture is unnatural and incorrect

cont� - child rearing beliefs and practices, food
preference and eating habits, concept of
health and illness and the use of lay healer
and folk medicines all vary across different
subgroups/Ethnicity
� - primary health care worker needs to beaware of this differences in order tosuccessfully bridge this cultural gap and tointegrate scientific medicine with traditional
care pattern 8

contSocio-economic Status
� -Poverty is the most handicapping, disabling
condition in childhood that affects the healthservices of a child.
� Education level, age, employment andunemployment pattern and the use of prenatalservices
� -being poor and uneducated increases substantiallythe possibility of having a complication of pregnancy in general and a low birth weight in particular (Berk 2004)

cont� Socio-economics status appears to influence
nutritional status ± a low family income is also
related to high incidence of poor diet� Lack of education in these families also
contributes to poorly balanced diet
� Child-rearing beliefs and practices- numerous
studies have shown that differences in education
level and socio-economic background affects the
attitude and child-rearing practices of parents

contHealth Services(State)
Lack of resources- Government or state are not
servicing the community as expected because of unavailability of resources e.g. out of stock of syringes and needles, vaccines etcetera.
� -poor support for the cold chain system
� -transportation problem to take nurses to work sites
� Shortage of manpower-many nursing stations have been without a nurse for years &some zones have
been empty for a lengthy period of time

Ante Natal Care� High maternal mortality in developing countries is
considered a major public health problem so much sothat it has become a UN Millennium Development Goal
5
� It is estimated that 515,000 women die each year of pregnancy related causes (global overview) and the fifthMDG is to reduce maternal mortality by 75 percent
between 1990 to 2015 but the progress has been slow
� 80 percent of maternal deaths are the result of directcauses ( complications of pregnancy, labor and delivery)

contProvision of Ante Natal clinic
� Essential for a community health nurse to set time
apart for caring her ante-natal mothers special dayfor ANC
� Provide special set up- privacy & comfort-
� Bookings should be corresponding with the
population(CBA) of the zone, area of coverage or district & the gestational status of themother/client

contProvision of Post Natal Clinic
� Also important for the community health nurse to
set aside a time for PNC as it an essential part of maternal care
� 6weeks after delivery(postnatal) the mother iscalled back to the clinic to undergo series of
examination to confirm return to normalcy of thereproductive system after confinement of pregnancy and delivery
� Another important concept of PNC is to assist the
the mother to choose freely, family planningwhether it is a contrace tive or natural famil

contWhy family planning at PNC?
� Most suitable time for the nurse to see the mother
and to interview them individually and offer assistance regarding their choice of family planning
� This clinic should be running concurrently with
the MCH clinic or at least MCH in the am and post natal clinic in the pm
� Most mothers will give priority to family planningwhen they have a small infant to care for so they
will seek protection

Significant factors in the prenatal
environment that influenceneonatal health� Prenatal environment is the mother¶s body-
virtually everything that impinges on her well- being from her diet to her moods, may alter her unborn child¶s environment and affect its growth(Papalia, Olds & Feldman, 2004) Many factorscan affect the developing embryo and fetus andone of them is an unsafe environment
� Teratogens refers to any environment agent thatcauses damage to the developing embryo or fetusduring the prenatal period. Greek word tera meansmalformation or monstrosity(Novak&Boom 2004)

Maternal factorsFactors influencing the health of pregnant women
and infants may be related to their obstetric history
genetic, socio economic status, or life stylechoices
� Regular moderate exercise e.g. walking,swimming, hiking aerobics is related to increase birth weight(Hatch et al.,1993 cited byBerk.,2004).

� Nutrition-a developing fetus depends
completely on its mother for nutrition,
which comes from the mother¶s blood ± children born to malnourished mothers are
more likely to be malformed
� children grow more rapidly during prenatal period than any other phase of
development-totally depend on the mother
for nutrients so a healthy diet ensures the23

cont� Prenatal malnutrition can cause serious damage to
the central nervous system (Berk 2004)- the
poorer the mother¶s diet the greater the loss in the brain¶s weight especially if malnutrition occur in
the last trimester
� Poor nutrition suppresses development of the
immune system prenatal malnourished babiesfrequently catch respiratory illness(Chandra 1991)

25
cont� Vitamins & minerals enrichment is also crucial
e.g. folic acid supplementation around the time of
conception greatly reduces abnormalities of theneural tube such as anencephaly and spina bifida
� Adequate folate intake during the last 10 weeks of pregnancy reduces by half the risk of prematuredelivery and low birth weight
� When the poor nutrition persist through the prenatal period infants usually require more thandietary improvement

contEmotional stress
� When women experience severe emotional stress
& fear during pregnancy their babies are at risk for a variety of difficulties ± producing adrenalin inresponse to fear restricts blood flow to the uterinearea and may deprive the fetus from oxygen
� Intense anxiety is associated with higher rate of miscarriage, prematurity, low birth weight,newborn irritability, respiratory illness, anddigestive disturbances(Santrock, 1998).
� It is also related to certain physical defects such ancleft alate and hare li Santrock, 1998 .

Physical growth &development� One important set of parameters required for
pediatric health assessment is physical growth
� The parameters of weight, length or height &head circumference(depend on age) are essential
in physical growth measurements e.g. by plotting
a child¶s growth (weight) on a chart, you are able
to determine normal or abnormal growth curvesaccording to the child¶s age

cont� Child¶s growth and development are orderly
and sequential
� Growth and development are related to
environment
� The pace of growth and development is
specific for each child
� Growth and development occur in a
cephalocaudal direction28

� Length: 48-53cm
� Head circumference : 33- 35cm� Infants should double the birth weight at 6mths
and triple birth weight at 1yr of age
� Infants height increases about 1inch(2.5cm) per
month for the first 6/12 and slows to ½inch(1.3cm) per month until 12 months

Developmental tasks of infants
� Infancy is a period of dramatic, and rapid physical,
motor, cognitive, emotional and social growth,
which makes it one of the most critical period of growth and development
� During the first year of life, infant change from
totally helpless, dependent new born to unique
individual who actively interact with their environment and form meaningful relationships
with significant others(Estes 2004).
