Poliomyelitis is a long-term non-progressive involvement of the posture and mobility originating based on damage to the developing brain in prenatal, perinatal and early postnatal periods. Poliomyelitis involves the individual throughout the life, the extent of the locomotor involvement and occurrence of further associated deficiencies in the field of sensory systems or cognitive functions being factors affecting the life of the individual in all the areas of his/her activities.
One of targets of the research work presented here was mapping of the level of the care provided for the paediatric client with the diagnosis of poliomyelitis in the field of healthcare services. The qualitative research method was employed in the work. For baseline data related to determining the level of the health care from the standpoint of healthcare professionals in the given region, paediatricians providing the primary care obtained a questionnaire estimating their opinions concerning the level of taking the health care of children with poliomyelitis. A semi-structured interview was employed for the accumulation of the qualitative research data. Interviews with respondents taking care of children with poliomyelitis served as a basis for a compilation of case studies. The case studies established a research basis for the preparation of categorized tables and graphs summarizing principal results of the research.
The research results in the field of taking the health care of children with poliomyelitis in terms of the holistic attitude suggested that the recommended procedure for practitioners related to the diagnostics and therapy is being accepted and implemented in practice. However, from the standpoint of the person taking the care, there is a lack of information about the child health condition, particularly at initial stages of the disease. The interconnections in the use of therapeutic possibilities in practice are also rather complicated. Emphasize is put on the development of locomotor abilities through the mediation of physiotherapeutic methods, which is particularly accepted at the time of pre-school development, but in latter periods, this important part of the complex therapy is taking a back seat.
