Filter by:Millions of U.S. parents have experienced trauma, putting them at risk for maladaptive parenting practices, which then confer vulnerabilities to their children. This study aims to enhance understanding of how parental emotional dysregulation associated with traumatic stress impedes effective parenting. The study employs neurophysiological methods (electroencephalogram; EEG) to address some of the challenges inherent in the study of emotion (particularly in trauma-exposed individuals) and to identify potential biomarkers of traumatic stress and response to intervention.
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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate neurocognitive mechanisms underlying response to intervention aimed at enhancing, and remediating weaknesses in, numerical skills in children, including those with mathematical learning disabilities (MLD).
The primary purpose of this project is to test a comprehensive, two-part intervention with ReACT and a recently adapted, Coping Power+ Program. ReACT and PBIS are school-wide universal interventions. Coping Power and Coping Power+ are targeted preventive interventions designed to assist at-risk 7th grade students to improve their coping with interpersonal stressors during middle school. This project will evaluate the effects of the program on teacher, student and parent perceptions of school climate, student behavior, social-emotional competence, disciplinary infractions, and identity for 7th grade students in Coping Power or Coping Power+
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.
Child and adolescent behavioral health problems are related to the leading causes of youth morbidity and mortality. Parent-focused preventive interventions, such as GenerationPMTO (GenPMTO), effectively prevent behavioral health problems such as depression and conduct disorders. Unfortunately, parenting programs are not widely available nor well-attended. Pediatric primary care (PC) is a non-stigmatizing setting with nearly universal reach and, therefore, an ideal access point to increase availability. However, PC personnel are not trained to address behavioral health topics. Also, typical referral practices are inadequate. There is a need to develop effective referral practices in conjunction with increasing availability. There are also logistical barriers to attending in-person parenting programs, like the need for childcare and a large time-commitment. There is a need to overcome these logistical barriers with more accessible programs. The long-term goal is to prevent significant behavioral health problems by increasing access to GenPMTO.
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.
Physical activity is a factor that contributes to a motor and cognitive development in early childhood. Currently, childhood obesity has grown steadily in Chile. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a school environmental intervention on the physical activity and cognitive functions in 1st-grade schoolchildren during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study will use a randomized experimental design with a sample of 300 schoolchildren divided into a control and an intervention group (n=150 each group). Sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle of the schoolchildren will be obtained through a questionnaire answered by parents/guardians. Cognitive function will be evaluated using the TENI test by tablet and physical activity will be measured during 7 consecutive days using accelerometers (Actigraph GT3X and wGT3X-BT). Both groups will receive a lecture aimed at schoolchildren. Teachers of the intervention group will also receive a talk regarding the intervention that will take place in their school environment, which includes a circuit of psychomotor games painted on the recess playground floor. ANCOVA analysis will be performed, adjusted for age and sex; then, a multivariate linear regression model will be applied considering the significant variables and adjustment. The significance level will be p<.05. SPSSv25 and R version 3.14 will be used for the analyses. The intervention is expected to contribute to the increase of physical activity favoring the school environment within a context of vulnerability and with a low-cost initiative
Personal protective equipment (PPE) gained importance during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which is a global hot topic for all healthcare staff.
The hypothesis of this study was to reveal the positive effects of the visual/auditory distraction usage on anxiety, pain and behavioural control in paediatric patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of the cartoon-assisted audio/visual distraction technique usage on paediatric patient's anxiety, pain and behaviour during dental care. Children aged 4-9 years old who met inclusion criteria received restorative treatment in two sessions, with or without cartoon-assisted visual/auditory distraction technique. The parents were informed about the study following the initial dental examination of the patient and the written informed consents were obtained from parents of all participants included in the study. Following the initial dental examination, dental prophylaxis was performed to children. A behavioural assessment was done following a dental prophylaxis. Children who demonstrated a negative or positive attitude according to the behaviour assessment were selected. Although, children with definitely negative or definitely positive behavioural attitude were not selected. Subsequently, the patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1: Dental treatment was carried out with showing cartoon movie as a visual/auditory distraction during the treatment in the second visit (V2). The third visit (V3) did not consist any visual/auditory distractions. Group 2: Dental treatment was carried out without any visual/auditory distraction in the V2. The V3 consisted cartoon movie as a visual/auditory distraction. Paediatric patients were able to choose any of the 12 cartoon movies that have been approved by two paediatric dentists who carried out the study. Before each treatment session, parents were kindly requested to leave the operating room. Same treatment procedures were carried out in both groups during each visit in the following consecutive order. During each treatment session, corresponding measures were observed. Corresponding measures: (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 and, cooperation and general behaviour for both two groups were evaluated by statistical analysis.
