Filter by:This study aims to contribute to the evidence base related to effective interventions for families in low-resource settings who are experiencing conflict and difficulties in relationships that affect child and caregiver well being alike. Results of this study will (a) inform whether a family therapy approach is feasible and promising in communities in and surrounding Kisumu, Kenya and (b) inform how family wellbeing and mental health can be integrated within the sexual reproductive health service points through culturally-valid ways in this context. Main Objective: To pilot test the implementation of a family therapy intervention (Tuko Pamoja) in collaboration with two sexual and reproductive healthcare settings in Kisumu, Kenya. Specific Objective: To pilot test the Tuko Pamoja family therapy intervention to assess feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness.
In 2016, the US Food and Drug Administration raised concerns about the potential negative effects of anesthesia exposure on neurodevelopment in children during pregnancy or before the age of three. The impact of exposure to anesthetic agents on neurodevelopmental outcome however remains debated: clinical studies on the subject do not allow for unequivocal conclusions to be drawn, given their methodological heterogeneity and the numerous confounding environmental factors. To this date, only two studies have focused on the potential neurodevelopmental effects of general anesthesia during the prenatal period, even though general anesthesia for non-obstetric surgery during pregnancy affects up to 3% of pregnant women. This observational ambidirectional study would be the first to investigate the potential neurodevelopmental effects of prenatal exposure to anesthesia, whether general or regional, for surgery during pregnancy. It would thus differentiate between the contribution of surgical stress and that of anesthetic agents in any observed modifications. The aim of the study is: Are there any subtle modifications of executive functions associated with prenatal exposure to anesthesia during non-obstetric surgery during pregnancy? To investigate this, parents of the participating children will be asked to complete a standardized parental telephone questionnaire from the "Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function" (BRIEF). This parental questionnaire allows for evaluating children's behaviors related to executive functions. Researchers will compare the score derived from the "BRIEF" parental questionnaire (BRIEF score) between three groups of children aged from 5 to 12 years old, born between 2011 and 2018 at Caen University Hospital: - The " General anesthesia " group: children whose mothers underwent general anesthesia for non-obstetric surgery during pregnancy (N: 62). - The " Locoregional anesthesia " group: children whose mothers underwent regional anesthesia for non-obstetric surgery during pregnancy (N: 31). - The " Control " group: children whose mothers did not undergo any surgical intervention during pregnancy (N: 62). The first aim of our study is to investigate the presence of a significant difference in the BRIEF score between the three groups. The seconds aims are to assess the cognitive functioning of patients in their daily lives (school, parental home, and extracurricular activities).
For many children in hospital, having blood tests or cannulation is a significantly distressing event physically, psychologically and emotionally. Use of distraction during invasive procedures is already common practice in paediatrics to improve the experience both for the child and parents. Use of Virtual Reality (VR) and VR Distraction Therapy (VRDT) is a relatively new concept, but has already shown promising results in studies. "VR offers an interactive distraction technique, a contrast to the passive distraction of reading a book or playing games on a tablet … and [VR] is thought to alter pain perception and the child's interpretation of pain signals." (Cochrane Library - Virtual reality simulation for reducing pain in children). The project aims to collect data about venepuncture, cannulation, long lines - qualitative and quantitative data - from children and parents. This studyl compares current standard practice with VR distraction therapy.
Induction of anesthesia can be distressing both for children and their parents. Nonpharmacological behavioral interventions can reduce the anxiety of children without significant adverse effects as seen with sedative drugs. The aim of this study will be to evaluate whether the children's or parental preference with attending parent affects on the postoperative delirium of the children or not. The delirium of the children will be assessed by the Pediatric Anesthesia Occurrence Delirium Scale (PAED)
The purpose of this study to design a board game that will enable primary school children to recognize foods by enabling them to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy foods by going beyond the traditional education patterns and to compare the effects of this board game-based nutrition education intervention on children's behaviors, self-efficacy, and attitudes with the control group in which no intervention was made.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a methodology developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, based on the idea that language and behavior are interconnected and can be systematically modeled and changed. NLP is often used as a form of psychotherapy, coaching, or personal development, although its effectiveness has been debated in the scientific community. NLP practitioners believe that our thoughts, emotions, and behavior are influenced by our internal representations of the world, which are constructed through language and sensory experiences. Changing the use of language and the perception of experiences, thoughts, emotions, and behavior can be adjusted accordingly. NLP uses various techniques to achieve this, including reframing, anchoring, and rapport-building. Reframing involves changing the perception of a situation by putting it in a different context or perspective. Anchoring consists in associating a particular state of mind or emotion with a specific physical or sensory stimulus, such as a touch or a smell. Rapport-building involves establishing a connection and a sense of trust with another person through mirroring and matching their body language, tone of voice, and language patterns.
The Children Sit Less, Move More (C-SLAMM) study aims to test the feasibility and potential effect of a multi-component school and home-based pilot cluster randomized control trial on reducing sedentary behavior and increasing physical activity in children. This pilot intervention will be an 8-week two-armed cluster RCT. Individuals (children aged 7-9 years) will be the unit of analysis and schools (cluster) randomly assigned to one of two arms: (1) Physical activity and sedentary behavior (intervention arm), or (2) current practice (control arm). The design conduct and reporting of the intervention with adhere to the Consolidation Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines and is guided by the Standard Protocol Items for Randomized Trials (SPIRIT) Statement.
This research is a randomized controlled experimental study designed to determine the effect of the Quantum-Touch method applied during the vascular access procedure in children aged 7-12 years, on the level of pain, fear and anxiety in children.
Induction of anesthesia can be distressing both for children and their parents. Nonpharmacological behavioral interventions can reduce the anxiety of children without significant adverse effects as seen with sedative drugs. has not been documented. The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of children's preference on parental selection during the induction of anesthesia on children and parental anxiety during the perioperative period.
This study was conducted on the effects of visual and/or auditory distraction techniques applied to children aged 7-12 years who applied to Çanakkale Mehmet Akif Ersoy State Hospital Gynecology and Pediatric Emergency Service during invasive procedures (blood sampling, intravenous access or intramuscular injection in the deltoid region). Kaleidoscope, music concert, virtual reality glasses) is a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of children on pain, anxiety and fear of medical procedures.
