Filter by:Until today, there is only little information available on how severe RSV infection leading to hospitalisation of the infant impacts the quality of life of affected families. For the ResQ Family project, an online questionnaire will be used to survey parents or caregivers of children up to 24 months currently or recently hospitalised (length of hospital stay of at least 12 hours and hospital admission no longer than 4 weeks ago) due to RSV infection. The aim of the ResQ Family project is to find out how infant RSV hospitalisation impacts the quality of life of affected children and their families. The goal is further to provide scientific evidence on the burden of RSV and raise awareness among all relevant stakeholders including healthcare professionals and patient representatives, decision-makers and the general public. The project will run until June 2024. Data collection will take place during the RSV season from fall 2022 to spring 2023 in four European countries: France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden.
The objective of this study to determine the effects of giving right lateral, left lateral and supine positions on vital signs and oxygen saturation in children after cardiac surgery.
Background: Admission to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is associated with significant levels of parental stress and anxiety. Parents are often uncertain to perform care giving activities and might feel uncertain to fulfill the desirable parental role during NICU admission. Furthermore, transition of the NICU to another unit or hospital is stressful for parents often related to poor information and communication. A VOICE program is developed aiming to increase the empowerment of parents, to improve partnership between parents of very premature infants and healthcare professionals. Aim: To conduct a feasibility RCT study to evaluate the implementation and the effect of the VOICE program on parental stress and anxiety in the NICU. Methods: Design is a feasibility RCT to test the procedures, compliance, determine sample size, estimating recruitment and retention, and to get first insight in the effects of the VOICE program on the outcome measures. VOICE will be implemented as a structured empowerment and partnership program for parents from admission of the infant to the NICU till the first visit to the out-patient clinic. The program exists of five structured and focused meetings, following the acronym VOICE (Values, Opportunities, Integration, Control and Evaluation). These interdisciplinary meetings with parents aim to increase the involvement of parents in the care and decision making of participants' infant in the NICU. The primary outcome measures will be parental stress and anxiety measured by the Chinese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (Chinese version). The secondary outcome measures will be parent satisfaction with care measured by the Empowerment of Parents in the Intensive Care (EMPATHIC-30) scale, length-of-stay in the NICU, hours of parental visitation and activities, compliance of NICU staff to the VOICE program. An embedded qualitative study will be designed to explore the experiences of parents and NICU staff about the implemented VOICE program. Individual interviews with parents and focus groups sessions with NICU staff will be conduction. This will help to identify methodological issues such as recruitment and retention and any enablers and barriers to the intervention which may impede the future RCT.
Sepsis is a life-threatening clinical syndrome and a leading cause of neonatal deaths worldwide. The burden of neonatal sepsis and severe infection (SI) is particularly high in areas of South Asia and other resource-limited settings. The goal of the Synbiotics for the Early Prevention of Severe Infections in Infants (SEPSIS) phase II L. plantarum trial is to generate knowledge on the safety, tolerability and effects on the microbiome of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, with or without fructooligosaccharide, in infants (birth to 60 days of age) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. All data generated will support the design and implementation of a phase III trial to test the efficacy of the probiotic/synbiotic or other interventions for the prevention of SI, promotion of optimal growth and development, and effects on other health outcomes in early infancy.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of non-pharmacological pain management education given to mothers on the use of non-pharmacological methods and anxiety levels of mothers during routine heel blood collection (guthrie screening test) in term newborns. H0= There was no difference between the intervention group who received non-pharmacological pain management education and the control group's level of anxiety and use of non-pharmacological applications. H1= The use of non-pharmacological methods is different between the intervention group and the control group that received non-pharmacological pain management education. H2= Anxiety scores of the intervention group that received non-pharmacological pain management education and the control group were different. H3= Some characteristics and anxiety levels of mothers have an effect on their use of non-pharmacological methods. It was carried out between July - September 2021 at the Akşehir State Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic, which serves in the Akşehir district of Konya province.
This is a prospective, observational clinical cohort study involving 405 children born premature (at less than 37 weeks gestation) and their mother/parent/guardian. The purpose of the study is to investigate how the microbiome (the collection of microbes in a biological site) of children develops over the first years of life and its associations with the risk of childhood health outcomes including allergies and asthma. The study will also examine how perinatal factors associate with patterns of microbiome development, and their effects on the microbiome, metabolome (the collection of metabolites in a biological sample) and immune development of this population in the first years of life.
The study focuses on regional lung examination, in particular on the differentiation between collapsed and hyperinflated lung areas. The purpose of the study is to elaborate common and discriminative elements between different lung imaging modalities in infants and to generate hypotheses for the bedside use of EIT and LUS in infants.
A cohort study to investigate the effectiveness of radio intervention comprising 10-minute of drama, 10-minute of discussion led by community extension workers, and 30-minute phone-in from listeners on childhood vaccination coverage and timeliness
In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of the use of milking and sucking methods on bleeding amount, vital signs and oxygen saturation in children with chest and mediastinal drains after cardiac surgery.
The "sniffing position" is widely accepted as a favorable position for direct laryngoscopy (DL) in both pediatric and adult patients. External anatomical markers are well documented to confirm proper 'sniffing position' in adults, but data on their use in the pediatric population is sparse. The investigators propose to define these markers in young children and investigate whether patients positioned using this standardized approach have better intubating conditions than those positioned randomly per the preference of the anesthesiologist.
