Filter by:Background: The incidence of mental health issues in children is increasing worldwide. In Chile, a recent surge in reports of deteriorating mental health among school populations and an increase in complaints related to poor school climate have been observed. Physical activity, specifically active breaks in the classroom, has shown positive effects on children's health. However, evidence regarding its impact on mental health and school climate in children is limited. Objective: This article outlines the design, measurements, intervention program, and potential efficacy of the Active Classes + School Climate and Mental Health project. This project will assess a 12-week program of active breaks through guided videos with curricular content in the school classroom, and its effects on mental health and school climate as its primary contributions. Additionally, it will measure physical activity, physical fitness, motor competence, and academic performance in students aged 6 to 10 years in the Biobío province, Chile, as secondary contributions. Methodology: It will be performed a multicenter randomized controlled trial involving students in the 1st to 4th grade (6 to 10 years old), encompassing a total of 48 classes across six schools (three intervention and three control) in the Biobío region, Chile. Video-guided active breaks will be implemented through the Active Classes; web platform, featuring curricular content, lasting 5 to 10 minutes and of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity, twice a day, Monday to Friday, over a span of 12 weeks. Expected Results/Discussion: To our knowledge, this will be the first study in Chile to evaluate the effects of incorporating video-guided active breaks with curricular content on mental health variables and school climate in schoolchildren. Thus, this study contributes to the scarce evidence on the effects of video-guided active breaks on mental health variables and school climate in schoolchildren worldwide. Additionally, it will provide crucial information about active teaching methodologies that have the potential to positively contribute to the well-being of students, thus addressing the problems of mental health and climate in Chilean schools.
The goal of this clinical trial is to Comparison effectiveness of Oral ivermectin , 1% Permethrin shampoo and 4% Dimeticone liquid gel in the treatment of Pediculosis capitis, to assess the prevalence of lice and associated risk factors between severity groups by using questionnaire-based surveys and diagnostic tests among school children in Baan Nayao, Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. The main questions it aims to answer are - What is more effective between Oral ivermectin , 1% Permethrin shampoo and 4%Dimeticone liquid gel in the treatment of Pediculosis capitis in school children in Baan Nayao, Chachoengsao Province, Thailand? - What is Prevalence and risk factors of being infected with in head lice in school and community? - What is Side effects of Oral ivermectin , 1% Permethrin shampoo and 4%Dimeticone liquid gel? Participants will receive three different drugs are - oral ivermectin - 4% Dimeticone liquid gel - 1% Permethrin shampoo Participants voluntarily received oral ivermectin as per medical prescription, with treatment outcomes, side effects, and satisfaction levels monitored following two treatment cycles. Those exhibiting persistent lice infestations were subsequently treated with 1% permethrin shampoo, the standard treatment, while alternatives were provided for individuals allergic to permethrin. These findings will contribute to formulating tailored, effective, and safe treatment regimens for future patients.
The proposed longitudinal project aims to understand parental influences on children's sleep and will investigate the effect of sleep-related parental factors - (1) parents' value of their children's sleep relative to other activities, (2) parental involvement in setting children's sleep habits and enforcing good sleep hygiene, and (3) parent's own sleep habits - on school-age children's sleep, mental health, socio-emotional resilience, and academic/cognitive performance. It will also investigate the impact of social economic status on these sleep -related parental factors.
The coronavirus outbreak is a stressful event for the whole population. Confinement measures are protective against the risk of dissemination of the virus, but they can also lead to several psychological symptoms. In children, a study in China has reported about 20% of depressive or anxious troubles in school-age children after a 4-week period of confinement. In France, confinement lasted about 8 weeks. School resumed on May 11th for primary school children and on June 2nd for secondary school children. In this survey, we aim at exploring the psychological status of these children and the impact on their schooling, for better understanding, support and prevention. Through this online questionnaire, we also aim at giving some psycho-education advices. Finally, we could identify some subgroups of children particularly vulnerable, and organise some specific support for them in coming months.
