乳幼児健康診査に関する一考察 : 1歳6ヵ月児健診の「心理相談」を中心に

Abstract

In recent years, "child-raising support" has been proposed as a fundamental aspect of maternal and child support as part of measures against the decline in birthrate. Accordingly, significant attention has been placed on providing support for mothers (caregivers). In the present study, changes in maternal and child health administration and the system and contents of infant examinations are examined in order to elucidate the ways in which psychological consultation and counseling have been implemented in infant examinations. In addition, the contents and processes of psychological consultation and counseling during examinations for infants aged 18 months are investigated in order to review the role of these examinations in child-raising support, and to identify the functions expected of psychological consultation and counseling.
