Filter by:Objective: Sleep and behavioral problems are common in infants at risk of autism. This study aims to examine the effect of Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy intervention on sleep and behavioral problems in infants at risk of autism. Design: Twenty-four infants (15 boys, 9 girls) at risk for autism were randomized to the intervention group (n = 12; 28.33 ± 6.52 months) and the control group (n = 9; 30.11 ± 5.20 years). The intervention group received Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy intervention in addition to the conventional 8-week sensory integration intervention, while the control group received only the conventional sensory integration intervention. Both groups assessed sleep and behavioral problems using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BİSQ) and the Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scale (VSEES) pre and post eight weeks of intervention.
This study will seek consent from parents of children enrolled in the Malaria FEVER study to obtain neuroimaging and 12-month neuropsychiatric outcomes data and kidney function on their child. The imaging and evaluations for this observational study will occur after the child has recovered from the acute malaria infection and has otherwise completed the RCT intervention and safety evaluations.
Mental health crises involve acute psychiatric states, such as aggression and/or self-injury, which can result in harm to self or others. There is evidence to suggest that 20% to 25% of autistic children are at risk of a mental health crises, however no crisis prevention programs exist for autistic children. The goal of this project is to evaluate, via a randomized design, a novel crisis prevention program.
Emotional and behavioral problems not only affect the Child's life but also have long-lasting effects on families and society and few studies have been carried out to assess these problems. During the critical phase of childhood, a child may face many emotional and social pressures that can develop physical, behavioral, social, and academic problems, negatively impacting on child's school performance, social involvement, self-esteem along with other serious mental health issues. There is a relationship between traditional parenting practices (such as parental control, love, and rejection) and emotional problems of children including depression and anxiety but very little is known about the role of mindful parenting. Globally, many studies have been done on the prevalence of emotional and behavioral problems in children, whereas relatively little is known about the prevalence of child mental health problems and related risk factors in Pakistan. One of the treatments that they are using these days to provide the developmentally appropriate and therefore effective intervention that meets the mental health needs of children is Cognitive Behavior Play Therapy and mindful parenting.
This pilot study investigates a new, easily applicable, individually tailored first-line behavioral training for parents of children (4-12 years) with (symptoms of) ADHD, that will be provided in an early stage, before other treatments have been applied. In this pilot study the feasibility of the newly developed intervention will be evaluated by exploring program acceptability, including client satisfaction, recruitment, retention, treatment fidelity and therapist satisfaction. Also acceptability of potential outcome measures will be explored, including preliminary tests of efficacy.
This project is a study funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to develop and pilot test an adapted parenting intervention to decrease excessive/inappropriate screen media use in young children with externalizing behavior problems.
In order to support the development of preschool children, joint attention training with activities incorporated in their natural routines can support the achievement of occupational therapy goals. This study explores the adjunctive benefit of a joint attention-based occupational therapy program offered in addition to the usual special education program (USEP) compared to USEP alone. The present study was designed as a randomized controlled study, including pre-post testing. The Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ), Autism Behaviour Checklist (ABC), and A Motor-Free Visual Perception Test 4 (MVPT-4) were implemented to measure the participants' conditions before and after the intervention.
This study is a two-arm parallel group randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial with the aim of Investigating pyridoxine effect on behavioral side effects of levetiracetam in adult patients with epilepsy.
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a 5-week, therapist-guided, internet-delivered parent management training program (BIP SAMBA) targeting children aged 5 - 11 years with externalising behavior problems. The study is a randomised controlled trial with parents of N=30 children participating. The intervention BIP SAMBA is compared with a waitlist control condition. Participants in the control condition will be crossed over to the active treatment after 5 weeks. The primary outcome measure is the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI) at the post treatment (5 weeks after baseline assessment).
Brief Summary: Improving care of the injured (trauma care) is a way to the large burden of injury in low- and middle-income countries. The important initial period of trauma care is often chaotic and prone to errors. The World Health Organization created a Trauma Care Checklist (TCC), which improved key performance indicators of care at tertiary hospitals but encountered factors which decreased its uptake. The investigators propose the use of a model Trauma Intake Form (TIF) with potential to achieve the benefits of the TCC, but with automatic usage and with accompanying improvements in documentation for key elements of care. It is especially oriented for smaller hospitals. The investigators propose a pragmatic randomized clinical trial with introduction of the TIF at 8 hospitals sequentially, with start times randomized by stepped-wedge design. Specifically, the investigators aim to determine the effectiveness the TIF to function as a checklist for increasing the appropriate use of key performance indicators during care of the injured in emergency units of non-tertiary hospitals in Ghana, as assessed by independent observers; to determine the percent of injured patients with adequate data on initial assessment before vs. after introduction of the TIF in emergency units of non-tertiary hospitals in Ghana; and to increase the capacity of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and the network of non-tertiary hospitals in southern Ghana to undertake high-quality trauma care research, including clinical trials.
