Issue Date: | 2016 | Source: | 52, (2), 2016, p. 204-212 | Pages: | 204-212 | Journal: | Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health | Abstract: | Children comprise 19% of the Australian population. Children are at risk of higher morbidity and mortality in disaster events than adults; however, there is a paucity of paediatric-specific disaster preparedness in Australia. Paediatric disaster plans should be developed, tested and renewed regularly. Plans need to address unaccompanied and unidentified children, medical and psychosocial needs and family reunification. Specific management is required for chemical, biological and radiological events.L6098669042016-04-19 | DOI: | 10.1111/jpc.13073 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L609866904&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jpc.13073 | | Keywords: | human needs;information;interpersonal communication;nuclear exposure;parent handout;personnel management;posttraumatic stress disorder;practice guideline;priority journal;protective equipment;psychosocial need;psychotrauma;radiological exposure;social media;terrorism;training;victim identification;review;accidents and accident related phenomenaAustralia;biological exposure;caregiver;chemical exposure;child;child health care;communication aid;disaster;disaster planning;disaster response;disaster victim;exposure;family reunification;human | Type: | Article |
