摘要
Parents, community health nurses (CHNs) and physicians in Saskatoon were surveyed to determine if specific components of well-baby services provided by CHNs and physicians were duplicated. A response was obtained from 348 (81%) of the parents, 34 (89%) of the CHNs and 129 (87%) of the physicians. Results of the study indicate that there is extensive duplication of measurements taken by CHNs and physicians at the two, four, six, and twelve-month well-baby visits, especially that of height and weight. Content of well-baby care was also examined. The percentage of both physicians and CHNs who "usually or always" perform specific tasks at each well-baby visit was very high, particularly screening tests and inquiries about nutrition. Assessments and inquiries regarding development were performed less frequently, as were inquiries about safety issues.
