Public Health Nursing In '47

_-e--

The Public Health Nursing Ser vice has had its usual busy round of work. There have been no ac- ditions to the staff and the five district nurses - Mrs. John Cam- eron for West Prince, Miss Eleanor Wheler for East Prince and Wesi. Queens, Miss Bessie Beer, Central and East Queens. Miss Mary Les- lio, Kings. lifiss Ruth Ross, Char- lottetown, together with Miss Dorc- thy 00x and Miss Irma Tait doing specialized provincial work, with Miss Mona Wilson, Director of Public Health Nursing - all have had a busy year.

In the Public Health Nurse's life

ithore is always something new to lbs done which she manages to iadd to an already crowded prc- ‘gramme. This year the extra work |was helping with a BCG study of vaccinating against tuberculosis conducted by Dr. C. B. Stewart of Dalhousio University, formerly oi’ Norboro, P. E. I. This entailed five and six visits to a group of homes in each county, offering protec- tion against tuberculosis to some of the negative reactors to tuber- culin in the. homes of known tub- erculosis cases. ‘ This frequently included calling at factory. warehouse, wharf and back fields to find the fathers and sons at work, or returning to a homo several time; in one day in order to find every member of the family. There was excellent co-op- oration from all concerned and ap- preciation for the vaccinations done in this study which will be fol- lowed up over a period of years.

Health Education

To help the teachers become ‘more health conscious and so en-

able them to more effectively teach "health in their schools, lectures ir- lhoalth education were given to m ltoachor training students at Prince {of Wales also to those attending |the summer school conducted by ;tho Department of Education and lto tho group in the Red Cross ‘aummt isourso. The teachers were ‘shown how to do vision screening |taatrlo tho pupils‘ eyes could be

Health And Welfare, ~ Activities Reviewed

The following review of activi- ties in the Provincial Department. of Health and Welfare has been supplied through the courtesy of the Minister. Hon. William Hughes:

The Department, during i947 has been working on an increased budget, authorized by the Legisiat. lire at its last session. The Health and Welfare of our people being recognized as of prime importance. the ecessa y expansion technical

In Rural Schools

In Klnifl. Queens and Prince 0001113’. clinics were arranged in leventy-ono rural schools tor im- munizing school children against dlPMMIll» I180 Dmteotion given against both diphtheria and whoop. 111i i-‘Oillh for the babies and small children up to five years of age. This was tho advance inocu- lating of the province-wide im- muniaifil which will be done in the nearly 400 remaining schools next “lug. Clinics also were held in Charlottetown, summer-side and Montague.

‘IV/o more Child Health Con- feraneo centres were opened dur- ing tho year- at Albany and Wellington. These will give more mothers opportunity of consulting the nurses regarding problsms‘ of oars and training of their babies and young children. The other eentroe having weekly conferences are Charlottetown, Qurnntersido and

Tignieh.

and financial, has had the approv- al of all our population. strenuous eflforts have been made to obtain necessary additional qualified per- sonnel in the Health Branch, the Welfare Branch and the Institu- tions. The scarcity of such through- out the country has seriously ham- pered our efforts.

The genera] health of the public has been well maintained. No ser- ious epidemic made its appear- ance and both the morbidity and mortality rate has been held ‘.0 a minimum. The care of tuberculo- sis patiants_and the hospital for paralysed children at the Provin- cial Bonaborium have functioned well and tho best use has been made of the space provided, ai- though despite the added space in the new construction already were is a shortage of beds.

The Provincial laboratory, which was very materially strengthened last. year by the appointment of a Director has widened its scope of activity. Bacteriology, histtnogy, serology and pathology are flour- ishing units and. in addition, speci-

mens for analyses from the gen- eral practitioners, police, etc, are examined and reported on from day to day. Progress can also be reported in the treatment of the social diseases with the more ex- tensive use c1 penicillin and the hospitalizlng and intense treat- ment of selected cases cf sspuilis.

School Activities

More than the usual number of schools were visited during the year by the Chief Health Officer. who conducted clinics in the schools of West Queen's and Prince Couli- ties. Parents and guardians of school and pro-school children were again given an opportunity

of having their children protected against Smallpox by vaccination. In the wide field of sanitation, what, may eventually prove to be the moat outstanding event for the year was the appointment of a director in Sanitary Engineering. The appointee will shortly join tho staff and direct the work ir this vital field. Routine duties, ‘such as inspections of factories, ovcr- night cabins, etc, were performed and nuisances investigated in all parts of the Province.

The public health nurses whose labors were centred particularly l" the public schools. have had busy year. ‘hvo of them, ‘ trained in the em of the towel“ osis and the othfl‘ lWflI-lly l-illll‘ ed in the epidemiology of social diseases, have the entire Pfiivm“ as their field of operation. The! both have rendered 1°04 "M" l“ their respective fields.

At Beach Grove Ina

Work has been commenced on alterations to the Beach Grove Inn property which will provide much needed additional accommodation for Infirmary patients. At Falcon- wood Hospital a nurses’ residence, men's staff quarters and an occu- pational therapy building are ill the process of construction. In the Welfare Branch the io- creased grants for extra mural treatment of tuberculosis and for ‘social assistance have been fully lutillzed and an increased number of investigations were carried out. In this division the need for more qualified workers is particularly tfelt. There was a noticeable de- crease in the number of Juvenile ' delinquent dealt with. l The Old Age Pensions to be effectively administered. All lagreement with the Department o.‘ National Health and Welfare ro- .5Ultl‘;g in increased pensions rates ‘was put into effect. Grants were ', paid to all general hospitals in the ‘Province, the Children's Aid Socie- lties, orphanages. the institute for lthe Blind, Salvation Army Home. lRed Cross Society, Charlottetown lFree Dispensary, s.P.C.A. and tho ldanadian Welfare Council. Those ' paid to the general hospitals were on a patient day basis, for which monthly reports are received. In coniunction with the Department of the Attorney General. a study of penal and reform institutionl has been commenced.
