Filter by:Background and study aims: Mindfulness is a mental state that can be achieved through meditation. So far, studies have shown that practicing mindfulness on a consistent and regular basis can improve attentional functions and emotional well-being. Mindfulness has recently begun to be used in the field of child development. The aim of this study is to assess if a mindfulness program may help primary school students in reducing anxiety and depression while also improving their temperament. Who can participate? Students attending the fourth or fifth year of primary school What does the study involve? Participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Participants in the experimental group will undergo an 8-week mindfulness training program with weekly 60-minute group sessions, while the control group will follow routine daily school activities. Questionnaires will be used to assess temperament, anxiety and depression before and after the intervention. What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? Benefits of participating in the study may include a lowering of anxiety and depression levels, as well as an improvement of temperament.
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of acupressure, to be applied to the GallBladder (GB) 31 "Fengshi" acupuncture point before the vaccinations, on interventional pain caused by the vaccinations in infants. Considering the literature, it can be seen that acupressure is used in many fields and it's among the non-pharmacological methods that have been used by nurses in recent years.However, no study has been found to be conducted on the effect of acupressure, applied before the vaccine, on interventional pain caused by the vaccinations in infants. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of acupressure applied before the vaccination on interventional pain in infants.
Active and passive distraction methods are frequently used in the nursing management of procedural pain in children. There are no studies comparing the effects of cartoon watching (passive) and bubble blowing (active) as distraction methods on pain, anxiety, and fear associated with venipuncture in children. This study aimed to compare the effects of bubble blowing (active distraction) and cartoon watching (passive distraction) techniques on pain, anxiety, and fear during venipuncture in children aged 6-8 years.
The main goal of this study is to investigate the association of the juvenile essential arterial hypertension with systemic micro- and macrovascular reactivity and cerebral vascular function, and to examine the potential impact of elevated oxidative stress on this associations.
The purpose of the study is to further develop and examine the Health Caregivers Healthy Children (HC2) program, which encourages obesity prevention through promoting healthy eating and physical activity.
Laparoscopic contralateral patent processus vaginalis (CPPV) repair in infancy and childhood is still debatable, due to the high CPPV rate but low contralateral metachronous hernia (MCIH) rate. In order to found risk factors for MH, we conducted this prospective study. This is an multi-center investigator-initiated observational prospective trial. After informed all the benefits and risks of repair CPPV simultaneously, those patients with unilateral inguinal hernia whose parents preferred not to repair CPPV simultaneously will be assigned in the study. All information about demographic data, hernia side, CPPV type and CPPV diameter will be recorded. The subjects will be followed up until MCIH developing or to 24 months postoperatively. Patients will be analyzed to identify the risk factors for MH.
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of two different distraction methods on reducing pain and fear during blood collection from children. The study was conducted between January 2020 and May 2021.
Medical procedures can be a very frightening experience for children. It is known that children who received painful medical procedures can develop a higher sensitivity of pain during their following experiences. During their treatments for malignant diseases, children are exposed to a lot of painful procedures (eg. needle insertion, lumbar punction, myelogram, etc…) Therefore, medical societies propose the use of interventions like distraction techniques for pain management in complement of pharmacological treatment. In addition, the repetitions of painful procedures and ineffective prevention of pain can create care phobia. Within this context, immersive and participative virtual reality (VR) could be an innovative distraction technique for pain management among children undergoing medical procedures. Attention Pain Theory can explain how virtual reality can reduce the perception of pain. Attention is required to feel pain. When the patient is focused on another subject like an immersive virtual environment, his brain is less available to treat information like painful stimulus from care procedures. The investigators hypothesis is that VR can reduce procedural-related pain and can decrease fear during the following procedures. Results of previous studies are varied : some showed a non-significant reduction of patient's procedural pain despite the use of VR, whereas others concluded to a decrease of pain. The question of the benefit of VR for the patients who are exposed to repeated painful procedures remains still unclear, especially with patients who are likely to feel chronic pain or many pain-related exposures. The aim of this study is to evaluate the non-inferiority of virtual reality as a distraction technique for pain management in children and adolescents with onco-hematological diseases, undergoing painful procedures, compared to standard of care.
The goal of this study is to provide a new treatment approach for schoolage children with ADHD, which could facilitate the EF developing well to achieve better outcome.
Background Pediatric diaphyseal forearm fractures are common and one of the most frequent reasons for orthopedic care. Fractures in need of surgery are often treated with metal Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nails (ESIN). Nail removal after 6-12 months is generally advocated. Surgical hardware removal has few complications; however, it is a substantial burden on the child, the family and healthcare economy. Bioabsorbable Intramedullary Nails (BIN) have been developed for the same indications as metal ESIN. The use of bioabsorbable implants would deem hardware removal unnecessary and relieve the child of further surgery and reduce healthcare costs. Methods The investigators aim to recruit all children in the catchment area of Herlev and Gentofte University Hospital (Copenhagen, Denmark) with acute unstable diaphyseal forearm fractures. Participants will be operated with BIN and followed consecutively for 2 years with interim analysis of data after 6 months. The investigators will report radiological healing using the Radiographic Union Score (RUS) 3 months after surgery together with any adverse events during follow-up. Discussion This study will provide important preliminary data and asses the feasibility of using the bioabsorbable Activa IM-Nail™ in pediatric diaphyseal forearm fractures. This study is a pilot study for initiating an RCT comparing BIN to metal ESIN hypothesizing that BIN is not an inferior treatment.
