Filter by:Many universal, evidence-based prevention practices (EBPPs) have been developed to prevent SEB problems, typically in elementary schools, but progress toward widespread implementation has been slow and few efforts have been made to develop and test interventions to enhance EBPP implementation in schools. Schools leaders (e.g., principals) are key to decision making and implementation of EBPPs, and their leadership has been shown to be consistently linked to student outcomes through their intentional efforts to support teacher adoption and use of innovative programs. Helping Educational Leaders Mobilize (HELM) Evidence is a pragmatic, multifaceted, organizationally-focused implementation strategy targeting the implementation leadership and implementation climate of school buildings (through principals) to enhance the adoption and delivery of EBPPs in elementary schools. This pilot study, part of the larger HELM project to adapt and test the strategy based on an existing leadership intervention, Leadership and Organizational Change for Implementation (LOCI), will be implemented in the context of Positive Greetings at the Door (PGD), a universal school-based EBPP previously demonstrated to reduce disruptive behavior and increase academic engagement.
To date, not enough attention has been paid to the role of communication before the first dental visit to encourage the child's cooperation and avoid dysfunctional behaviors. The dentist can provide parents with the information they need to adequately prepare the child for treatment. The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of an infor-mation booklet to promote pediatric patients' cooperation during the first dental visit
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptance of an eye massage device that produces nature sounds and vibratory stimulations in the management of anxious pediatric patients during inferior alveolar nerve block Group A (Control group): inferior alveolar nerve block will be administrated with basic behavior guidance techniques and without distraction aids. Group B: inferior alveolar nerve block will be administrated with the usage of the eye massage device producing both vibrations and nature sounds Group C: inferior alveolar nerve block will be administrated with the eye massage device producing vibratory stimulations only. All of the children who experienced an inferior alveolar block with/without distraction will be assessed by using a combination of measures: Wong-Baker faces and the Children's Fear Scale (self-report), heart pulse rate and blood pressure (physiological), and behavior (using Anxiety levels using Face - Legs - Activity - Cry - Consolability "FLACC" scale "external evaluator") Acceptance will be measured using a two-point Likert scale.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of 15 mg/kg lemon verbena, in comparison to placebo, on the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) type behaviour and cognitive function of children who do not have a diagnosis of ADHD, but who exhibit high scores (highest tertile) on ADHD behaviour parameters. Multiple aspects of mood will also be assessed. The proposed randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel groups design methodology will assess the psychological effects of 15 mg/kg lemon verbena extract and a matched placebo prior to and after 4 and 8 weeks of supplementation. The trial will utilise the COMPASS cognitive assessment system (Northumbria University) and a range of mood measures during laboratory testing visits. Parents and children will also take part in a concomitant smartphone study, comprising the collection of the parent's assessment of the child's behaviour/cognitive function and the child's self-report of the same, plus their mood. These assessments will take place on Days -1, 14, 28, 42 and 56.
Schools are critical settings to foster children's health. The purpose of this two-year cluster-randomized trial is to enhance both the after-school and recess settings to provide children with knowledge and skills to facilitate active and inclusive play. The primary aim of the project is to assess the impact of a playground curriculum intervention on children's physical, social, emotional, and behavioral health. The secondary aim of the project to understand the appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, and sustainability of implementing a playground curriculum in after-school and recess settings.
The aim of this study is to reduce dental anxiety in children by using virtual reality glasses (VRG) with a special content and innovative interactive methods, to determine the level of stress experienced by patients during dental treatment and to ease the workload of dentists. Within the scope of the study, the participants being examined are in a controlled manner from the practice environment. They are attached a VRG and headphones throughout the treatment. With the help of VRG, it is ensured that participants are ready for the treatment. During the treatment, the participant's focus is on various contents in terms of spectacles. Contents include visual (video surveillance) and auditory stimuli (listening to music). They also provide information about treatment to the patient with the help of avatars (characters) and environmental elements that are placed into the VRG application. In addition, dental anxiety is reduced by the fun contents. The goal is to increase the rate of dental treatment success in child patients. The effectiveness of virtual reality system is tested by comparing evaluation metrics of three groups of children. In the first group, the dentist carries out the treatment alone. In the second group participants watch cartoons on a screen mounted dental unit during the treatment. In the third group, dental treatment is carried out with VRG. In the course of these experiments, the effects of VRG on dental treatment (vital pulpotomy and dental filling) that require local anesthesia is examined in order to measure the effects of VRG on the level of stress on dental treatment. Corresponding measures are; (1) the child's anxiety; (2) the child's pain perception during local anaesthesia and treatment; (3) the child's cooperation and general behaviour. The outcomes of the child's anxiety, pain perception, cooperation and general behaviour for three groups were evaluated by statistical analysis.
Dental anxiety causes unwanted distresses in children. The present study is aimed to analyze using both technological and psychological distraction in children aged 4-10 with a humanoid robot. Materials and Methods: One hundred and two children (fifty two girls, fifty boys; mean age: 6.71±1.43 years) were included. Fifty children were participated in robot group and fifty two children were participated in control. Salivary alpha amylase were analyzed before, after, and 10 min after treatment. Frankl Behaviour Rating Scale (FBRS), Facial Image Scale (FIS), salivary amylase levels, and physiological pulse rate were used to assess the stress related changes. Statistical tests were used with p value fixed at 0.05.
Aim This study aimed to investigate the effect of kangaroo mother care (KMC)versus hammock positioning (HP) on physiological indices and behavioral organization among preterm neonates. Hypotheses Preterm neonates who receive KMC exhibit more stable physiological indices and behavioral organization state than those who do not . Preterm neonates who receive HP exhibit more stable physiological indices and behavioral organization state than those who do not . Preterm neonates who receive KMC exhibit more stable physiological indices and behavioral organization state than those who receive HP.
The aim of the experiment is to analyze the impact of the behavior of the accompanying parent on the behavior of the child during a first dental session according to the age group.
