Children's Functional Health Pattern Assessment

Compare and contrast identified similarities as well as differences in expected assessment across the childhood age groups.

The health status of the younger generation is an important indicator of well-being of society and state, reflecting not only the present situation, but the forecast for the future. Stable unfortunate trend of ill health of children has acquired to date, so sustained, that is a real threat to national security (McEwen, 2006). Analysis of the current situation indicates that the causes of this catastrophic situation are the socio-economic instability in the society, poor sanitary condition of the environment of children (the conditions and mode of training, living conditions, etc.), the ecological situation, reforming education and health, low health activity and health literacy of the population, collapse prevention, etc (Edelman, Mandle, 2006).

Numerous studies have shown in recent years that the health development during childhood and adolescence is influenced by social class. In children from socially disadvantaged families are more developmental deficits and health problems identified early, the move often a long-term treatment and care needs to be. In addition, they are often from injuries, diseases and environmental affects dental problems. In adolescence, increased psychosomatic complaints occur and take mental and behavioral disorders on. Also correlated behavioral risk factors such as smoking, physical inactivity and obesity, which are responsible for much of the morbidity and premature mortality events in middle and old age accumulate in the lower status groups (Edelman, Mandle, 2006).

Children and teenagers, who grow up in poor living some circumstances, are therefore an important target group for prevention and health promotion. For the planning, implementation and evaluation of relevant policies and programs data are required, making it possible to describe the health status of adolescents comprehensively and differentiate and identify public health action problems. The hitherto existing studies, such as the enrollment examinations of the Public Health Service, which surveys the Federal Centre for Health Education or Health Behavior in School-aged Children study, the World Health Organization this range is not sufficient (Nutter, 2003). They reflect only certain aspects of health development during childhood and adolescence, are limited to certain age groups and can claim no national representativeness.
