Filter by:Feeding problems such as selective eating, loss of appetite, and mealtime behavior problems are common in childhood. Parents play a primary role in learning about feeding, and difficulties experienced in this process may cause the parent to experience stress, despair and exhibit incorrect attitudes. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of online occupational therapy group training for mothers on mothers' attitudes and stress levels, and children's eating behaviors. Mothers of children aged 3-6 years with feeding problems (n=29) were randomly divided into groups. Early Childhood Adaptive Eating Behavior Scale, Feeding Process Mother Attitudes Scale and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scales were used for evaluation. The mothers in the research group participated in the 4-week training. As a result of the research, positive effects were found on mothers' attitudes and children's eating behaviors (p<0.05). There was no change in mothers' state and trait anxiety levels (p>0.05). This study shows that online group training to mothers can support existing therapies and guides clinicians working in the field.
Engaging patients through integration of patient-reported outcome measures in routine clinical care can improve the patient experience and provide a systematic way to collect adverse event (AE) data. Collecting these data on a large scale can inform new solutions to longstanding barriers to successful treatment such as medication non-adherence. This study evaluated whether implementing a patient-reported outcome data collection and AE surveillance tool would result in greater treatment continuation for patients receiving care on a telehealth platform. We evaluated how this data collection and surveillance tool - a short prompt for patients to provide information on treatment satisfaction and side effects - impacted the outcome of interest, treatment continuation. We tested two cycles in n=2,000 patients receiving care for erectile dysfunction on a telehealth platform using a randomized control experimental design and accounted for incidents where true randomization was not possible during implementation. The first cycle tested the tool alone, while the second cycle tested the tool in conjunction with a messaging template system that provided standardized side effect counseling.
Outdoor play is important for children as it can promote healthy social and physical development, emotional well-being, self-confidence, risk management and overall physical activity. Yet, opportunities for outdoor play have been decreasing across generations due to perceptions that it is dangerous and unnecessary. Early childhood educators (ECEs) and administrators are struggling to provide children with high quality and stimulating outdoor play time. To help ECEs and administrators, the investigators have developed a Risk Reframing (RR) digital tool, https://outsideplay.ca, which is underpinned by social cognitive theory (SCT) and health behaviour change techniques. The aim of the current study is to test the efficacy of the RR digital tool in: 1) increasing ECEs/administrators' tolerance of risk in play; and, 2) attaining their behavior change goal in promoting children's outdoor play at their early childcare center. The investigators will conduct a single-blind (researchers and outcome assessors) randomized controlled trial and will obtain complete data on at least 206 early childhood educators and administrators currently working in Canada. The RR digital tool is designed for a one-time visit and includes three chapters of self-reflection and experiential learning tasks. The control condition consists of reading the Position Statement on Active Outdoor Play, a 2-page information sheet on children's active outdoor play. Primary outcome is increased tolerance of risk in play, as measured by the Tolerance of Risk in Play Scale - teacher version. Secondary outcome is self-reported attainment of a behaviour change goal that participants set for themselves. The investigators will test the hypothesis that there will be differences between the intervention and control conditions with respect to tolerance of risk in play and goal attainment.
