Download for members only. Chapter 8: Headaches
Headaches are common among children. Approximately 40% of children have a significant headache by the age of 7 years, and approximately 75% have one by the age of 15 years. Most Headaches are not serious. However, some are caused by a significant medical problem, and a small proportion prove to be life-threatening. This chapter emphasises the need to be fully aware of the significance of headaches in children.
Gerry Silk Gerry also instigated the use of calico dolls with children who are receiving health care. The dolls are now used throughout Australia and in many countries overseas — with the support of the Kiwanis organisation, which coordinates the making of the dolls. As a result of this initiative, Gerry was awarded the Victorian Community Service award in 1993. Gerry is especially interested in the cultural aspects of health care, and her postgraduate studies (which included study in China) reflected this abiding interest. Gerry regularly works in developing countries for a couple of weeks each year, which also allows her to indulge in her love of travel.
