Characteristics Of Family Environment And Institutional Care Children With Congenital Anomalies

Summary/Abstract: Habilitation-rehabilitation of children born with congenital anoma­lies represents assistance in terms of maximal functional abilities training and, in every way, inclusion into family and social environ­ment. The main aim of the research is to show some economic and social characteristics of the primary families of children with con­genital anomalies and the influence of social environment (housing) in the course of rehabilitation. The research was conducted in the period between 2009-2011 year at the Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the Clinical Centre of Serbia in Belgrade. Sixty patients born with congenital anomalies, residing in the family or in the so­cial welfare institutions, participated in the study. The results show that children as part of the families significantly improved in psycho­motor development (p = 0.007) and reduction of motor disorders (p<0.01) than children in the institution after discharge from the hos­pital. The solving of existing problems in the children with congenital anomalies care and the improvement of social welfare both require continuous and comprehensive work, evaluation performing, detec­tion of the weaknesses and analyzing of the possibilities for family support provision.
