Filter by:The purpose of this study is to learn how to better support fathers and their families after incarceration. It will test an intervention that promotes healthy development for children of previously incarcerated fathers and the caregivers of their children for empirical promise through a pilot feasibility trial. The aims of the pilot are to demonstrate: a) client acceptance of the treatment (e.g., retention), b) ability to recruit sufficient numbers of participants, and c) feasibility of delivery with the clients and therapists in the designated treatment settings. About 15 families (15 fathers, 15 caregivers, and 15-20 children, totaling 45-50 participants) will be in the study.
Acquired brain lesions (GCLA) represent one of the most important cause of disability and mortality during the pediatric age, also in the western Countries. The important medical progresses of the last decade in the medical field have increased the percentages of survival, also in the most severe clinical pictures. On the other hand, a brain lesion reported in the first years of life presents with a more dramatic impact on the cognitive and neurological development of the patients and it can significantly interfere with the same quality of their life. Recent studies suggest that a brain damage in this stage of the life is related to more persistent sequelae in comparison of the same lesion reported by an adult patient, because of the neurological immaturity at the moment of the insult. Furthermore, in most cases, the brain lesion is related not only to motor and sensorial deficits but also to very important behavioral and cognitive problems, that can arise immediately after the acute phase, or also several years after the pathological event.
The purpose of this study is to assess feasibility and acceptability of parent-completed screeners of child social/emotional development, social determinants of health, and adverse childhood experiences in the setting of a pediatrics primary care clinic.
It is a study where investigators are going to measure variables related to motor development and vision through objective tests in children with typical development of two years of age.
To gather data essential to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a brief, health care-based program delivered in routine healthcare visits in low and low-middle income countries to promote positive parenting behaviors with the aim to support early child development.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Meleis 'Transition Theory based health improvement monitoring program on infants' development, maternal attachment and parental self-efficacy in 36-40 weeks of gestation and in the first and fourth months after birth. Sample was 64 (experimental group:32; control group: 32), alfa=0,05 and power=0.80 at the end of study. The experimental group received nursing interventions based on Meleis' Transition Theory, while the control group received routine primary health care. Data were collected 3 times: pretest, 3 and 7 months after intervention (for experimental group) and 3 and 7 months after pretest (for control group).
The main objective of this study is to apply a well-established model of developmental surveillance (which evolved to characterize the outcomes of very low birth weight infants) to infants with genetic disorders. A novel clinical model for infants with rare genetic disorders has been created as a joint initiative between the Division of Newborn Medicine's NICU Growth and Developmental Support Programs (NICU GraDS) program and the Division of Genetics at Boston Children's Hospital (BCH). This study plans to enroll patients with genetic syndromes seen in this clinic into a prospective, longitudinal study in order to characterize their developmental profiles and needs.
This study is being done to see if outcomes for both a premature infant's parents and the infant born prematurely who have spent time in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) can be improved through parent cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) sessions.
The goal of "PLAY" is to adapt and test a developmentally appropriate intervention delivered on a mobile app to parents, with the goal of teaching fundamental motor skill (FMS) proficiency to their preschool-aged children (ages 3 to 5 y). Seventy-two children (3 to 5 y of age) were randomized. Of these children, 36 parents were randomized to use the FMS app and 36 were randomized to use a version of the app that promotes unstructured PA as a comparator group. Parents in the FMS condition accessed instructional lessons, peer modeling videos, and activity breaks to deliver 720 minutes of targeted, structured FMS instruction time to their child over a 12-week period. Parents in the comparator arm used a version of the app that provides instructional lessons to promote the equivalent amount of unstructured PA for their child. Parents were asked to guide the intervention, as parental support, modeling, and co-participation predict children's engagement in PA.
The NASCITA study (NAscere e creSCere in ITAlia) was created to improve the understanding of the health status of Italian children early on and how it is affected by social and health determinants. The study will evaluate physical, cognitive, and psychological development, and health status and health resource use during the first six years of life in a group of newborns, as well as potential associated factors. The association between the well-being of children and parental adherence to the recommendations for better child care and development will also be assessed. Information on the children will be collected by paediatricians mostly during routine visits. The findings will be used in the development of specific prevention measures and interventions to improve the health of children, in particular more vulnerable ones.
