Filter by:The early childhood education and care (ECEC) environment is an important setting for providing children with daily opportunities for movement and music, supporting holistic child development in the early years. To date, there are no studies evaluating the implementation of a holistic programme in the ECEC context in the areas of movement behaviour, motor, and musical skills. The main aim is to examine the impact over time of a holistic movement and music programme on correlates of movement behaviour, gross and fine motor skills, and musical skills in young children (1-3 years). The secondary aims are to examine the impact of the movement and music programme on the perceptions of the educational community, as well as the barriers and facilitators they perceive in the process of baseline assessment, construction, and implementation of the movement and music programme in their own ECEC community. This cluster-randomised controlled trial (intervention and control groups) with public ECEC centres will be performed over a 24-month period. Baseline measurements will be taken in the first year of the project, and the longitudinal evaluation of the implementation of the movement and music programme in the second year. educational community's perceptions about the barriers and facilitators associated with the correlates of movement behaviour will be taken into account, as will the results of the assessment of gross and fine motor and musical skills identified in the first year of the project, with a special focus on the structured and unstructured opportunities for movement and music both in the ECEC settings and at home. This research project aims to fill a knowledge gap during a period of childhood that has rarely been explored, either nationally or internationally (1-3 years), and to position movement and music teaching practices as key contexts in the curriculum development of infant and toddler education.
Anxiety feeds the avoidance of dental treatments, leading to the neglect of general oral health. This avoidance is often amplified by the fear of potential pain and dissatisfaction after a dental appointment. A music listening intervention could be beneficial to reduce anxiety, pain and dissatisfaction. This intervention has the advantage to be non-invasive, cheap, and easy to implement in clinical settings. The objective of this study is to explore the effects of a personalised musical intervention on anxiety, pain and dissatisfaction associated with an autogenous gingival graft in comparison to the use of an audiobook (control). In this regard, three groups of patients will receive the gingival graft along with the personalized music intervention (n=20), an audiobook (n=20) or standard care (n=20). Participants will be distributed randomly between conditions in a single blind design (surgeons will be unaware of the condition). However, since the third standard care control group was added as of 07-01-2023, all recruited participants will be enrolled in the standard care control group (non-randomized). Self-reported measures of anxiety, pain, and dissatisfaction will be taken at different times (baseline, preoperative, postoperative, and follow-up).
Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) is one of the surgical treatment options for managing early pregnancy loss. When compared to traditional surgical method; MVA is safer, more cost-effective, due to its shorter hospitalisation period and not undergo the risk of general anaesthesia. The MVA procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and analgesics is given prior the procedure. However, majority of patients still complaint significant pain during the procedure. In our previous study, the investigator found women had high anxiety and stress levels when undergo miscarriage and the operation. Pain perception may further be affected by one's psychological state at the time of the procedure. Therefore reducing the patient's anxiety during the USG-MVA may further improve the patient's pain control and overall acceptance of the procedure. Music can act as a distracter and has a calming effect which turn the patient's attention away from negative stimuli. Yet, there has been no RCTs to investigate the beneficial effect of music therapy in pain control or reducing anxiety levels during USG-MVA. The investigator hypothesis the intervention of music therapy to our current pain control will reduce the pain and anxiety levels experienced by our patients during USG-MVA. Thus, there is a need to conduct an RCT to test our hypothesis. The study is conducted in an university affilated hospital for women undergo the USG-MVA procedure. The primary outcome is to evaluate in between group difference in the pain intensity after the USG-guided MVA procedure. The secondary outcome is to evaluate the difference in anxiety level . Case is randomized to music and non music group, Bluetooth headphone are provided during the procedure and case can choose their favourite songs. The outcome are measured by the self rated instrument: Visual analogue scale and the STAI trait anxiety score and the physiological measure salivary alpha amylase (sAA )score. The pain score and the anxiety level is measured pre operatively, immediate after the procedure and 2 hours post operatively. The SPSS-26 will be used for statistics analysis.
