wk 4 Consequences of stress on children's Development Boozer Y.

My dad was in the Korean War when he was in the army.  He saw a lot of his battalion get killed or hurt.  His best friend got his leg and arm blown off right in front of my dad and he was the one that saved him.  I think my dad coped with it pretty good I do not know because he never stated  how he coped with it.  But he and his best friend remained as best friends until my dads death.   The two families became very close we would go visit them and they would come and visit us.  The best friend continued to check on us and made sure we did not need any thing after my dads death.  I am sure that my dad had to get some type of  help  or had to talk to someone about the trauma  he had faced.  But again I am not sure.

     Mali is the country that I choose to find out what kind of stressor(s) that impacted the development of children.  "Post- Trauma stress disorder(PTSD) is reported to be common among refugees of Malian Refugees in Burkina Faso.  After the rebellion of Northern Mali in 2012, hundreds of thousands of Malians are sheltering in camps in Niger, Burkina Faso and Mauritania, having fled the North of Mali after it was seized by Islamist rebels in 2012 or the South or the South of Mali far fear of relaliation from other ethnic groups." (Clinical Practice and Epidemology 2013).
     The vast majority of the refugees in these refugee camps were woman, children and elderly people of the Tuareg ethnic group.  Many of the refugees had witness the violent death of a loved one or had received first hand details about the violent death of a loved one.

     "These results indicate important psychological suffering in a vulnerable population whose conditions of absolute poverty have been exacerbated by the recent war.  These conditions in this geographical area were  rarley described and have never received humanitarian aid.  Immediate steps are required to give legal and humanitarian protection to those who are forced to flee their homes and cross international borders because of the crisis.  Lon-g-term outcomes need to be explored so that appropriate interventions ar put in place on both the short and medium terms." (Clinical Practice and Epidemology 2013).

Child Develpoment and Public Health Y.Boozer

I chose the public health of immunization and this is important to me  because it can help children from potentially deadly diseases and it saves children lives.  Immunizations help to keep children healthy.   Immunization also prepares a child's body to fight illnesses.

I chose India as my country in another part of the world and travelers who are traveling to India must have their routine vaccines which are measles, mumps, rubella, Muir ,dipthteria, tetanus, pertussis, vermicelli, chicken pox,polio and yearly flu shot.  The CDC recommends that you get the Hepatitis A because you could get hepatitis from the water or food.  Typhoid you can get from contaminated food and water.  The vaccination for India Children are carried out under the Universal Immunization Program.

Ways this information that I have learned may impact my future work is that if children didn't get vaccination ed they could die or spread infectious diseases and could start an epidemic so without immunizations all kinds of dangerous things could happen and children would not be able to come to the center and if children did not come then I would be out of a job.  

Childbirth in my life and around the world Yolanda Boozer

I do not have a child birth experience of my own because I do not have any children of my own.  But ai do remember when  my cousin's wife had her baby.  I do remember them (the Doctors and nurses) that she waited to long before she asked for medicine so they could not give her any.  she had to have a twelve pound baby natural.  I got caught  in the room doing the delivery and I was so excited as if it was me. 

     Region Middle East- Turkey- Birth is the first f the turning point in life it is almost required as a happy time, in Turkey it also increase the respect for women.  The Father has confidence in the future with a child and gains respect among relatives and friends.  A childless woman is scorned and the male feels the same way.  Birth gives the mother an identity and completes her.  There are some transition customs and ceremonies that accompany birth and the and the phases connected to it.
     "One of the most important transition phases in birth, the origin of life, is tradition and custom.  Certain traditions women must abide by are:  there must be a desire to want to be come pregnant, the mother is encourage to abide by hundreds of processes imposed by belief and religious customs,magical rituals, starting from the women which to conceive."
