Abstract

An integration experiment conducted at the Regional Hospital of Edmundston, New Brunswick, demonstrates that flexibility and persistence can overcome resistance to this necessary and worthwhile process. Having discovered that overly-manipulated data and an inadequate organizational structure can be stumbling blocks to integration, the author shows that support for integration is essential since it can provide a dynamic contribution to the quality of health care.

[Sexual abuse of children: the necessity of medical intervention].

Recently the Dutch Health Council published a report on the medical aspects of sexual abuse of children. The questions underlying this report reflect an attempt to arrive at hard indices of sexual abuse in children through the assessment of physical symptoms. For the medical assessment, the authors refer to the Dutch translation of an English report entitled Physical signs of sexual abuse in children, published by The Royal College of Physicians. The hazards connected with the exclusive focus on physical symptoms are recognized, and the authors stress that medical examination should be part of a much broader assessment of the child and his/her family. However, instead of confining themselves to assessment issues of physical symptoms, the authors add a rather meagre account of behavioural and emotional factors relevant to the diagnosis of sexual abuse of children. Unfortunately, this approach seems to aggravate the problems underlying misdiagnosis rather than to increase diagnostic accuracy and improve adequate care for sexually abused children.
