Evidence of Interventions for the Prevention of Unintentional Injuries: Scoping Review

Evidence of Interventions for the Prevention of Unintentional Injuries: Scoping Review

Unfortunately, over 95% of all child injury deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, resulting in a highly inequitable burden [4]. In India alone, unintentional injuries contribute to 9.1 deaths per 100,000 population, while transport injuries account for 2.8 deaths per 100,000 population [5]. Childhood encompasses different stages of emotional, physical, and brain development, ranging from newborn to adolescence.

School-Based Virtual Reality Programming for Obtaining Moderate-Intensity Exercise Among Children With Disabilities: Pre-Post Feasibility Study

School-Based Virtual Reality Programming for Obtaining Moderate-Intensity Exercise Among Children With Disabilities: Pre-Post Feasibility Study

Nevertheless, mandated opportunity does not necessarily mean that a child will have accessible and usable exercises that can lead to meaningful improvements in health. A systematic review has demonstrated that school-based exercise studies generally have not elicited favorable effects on cardiometabolic health among children with disabilities, but improvements can be observed in cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness and other components of health-related physical fitness [13].

Extended Reality (XR) in Pediatric Acute and Chronic Pain: Systematic Review and Evidence Gap Map

Extended Reality (XR) in Pediatric Acute and Chronic Pain: Systematic Review and Evidence Gap Map

Mixed effect findings were often due to a variable impact of VR on pain across a procedure (eg, positive impact on postprocedural pain but no effect on pain during the procedure) or variable impact of VR on pain across informants (eg, child reported improved pain, no improvement in pain reported by health care provider). No studies reported worse pain than the control or following the VR intervention.

Cooperative Virtual Reality Gaming for Anxiety and Pain Reduction in Pediatric Patients and Their Caregivers During Painful Medical Procedures: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Cooperative Virtual Reality Gaming for Anxiety and Pain Reduction in Pediatric Patients and Their Caregivers During Painful Medical Procedures: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

However, the use of such medication is associated with additional health risks [5], particularly in the context of child development [6]. An additional factor that can influence the emotional experience of child patients is their caregivers, in most cases a parent. Caregivers are also under extraordinary emotional pressure during the child’s stay in hospital.

Novel Profiles of Family Media Use: Latent Profile Analysis

Novel Profiles of Family Media Use: Latent Profile Analysis

Specifically, we sought to identify novel patterns of family media use that consider child duration and frequency of media activities; child use to keep occupied, regulate behavior, or fall asleep; parent attitudes about child use; limit setting and mediation; parent media use; and “technoference” (ie, technology interference in parent-child activities).

Effect of a Gamified Family-Based Exercise Intervention on Adherence to 24-Hour Movement Behavior Recommendations in Preschool Children: Single-Center Pragmatic Trial

Effect of a Gamified Family-Based Exercise Intervention on Adherence to 24-Hour Movement Behavior Recommendations in Preschool Children: Single-Center Pragmatic Trial

Each child had a user account to log in and complete exercises twice per week, with one session available from Monday to Wednesday and a repeat session available from Thursday to Sunday. The program comprised 3 phases: a warm-up/activation phase, a training phase (featuring body weight strength exercises, CRF exercises, and color-coded exercises), and a cooldown phase. The number of exercises and repetitions varied from week to week.

Capturing Everyday Parental Feeding Practices and Eating Behaviors of 3- to 5-Year-Old Children With Avid Eating Behavior: Ecological Momentary Assessment Feasibility and Acceptability Study

Capturing Everyday Parental Feeding Practices and Eating Behaviors of 3- to 5-Year-Old Children With Avid Eating Behavior: Ecological Momentary Assessment Feasibility and Acceptability Study

Eligibility criteria also included English-speaking primary caregivers from the United Kingdom who were responsible for feeding their child for more than half the time when their child was at home. Parents whose child was autistic, or had severe learning disabilities, or a chronic illness that directly influenced their dietary requirements and eating habits were not eligible to participate. A total of 312 parents met the eligibility criteria for the study and were invited to participate via email.

A Classroom-Based Intervention for Reducing Sedentary Behavior and Improving Spinal Health: Pragmatic Stepped-Wedge Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

A Classroom-Based Intervention for Reducing Sedentary Behavior and Improving Spinal Health: Pragmatic Stepped-Wedge Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Learners were provided with child assent and parent/guardian consent forms, as well as study information for parents and guardians, which were then collected by the research team upon completion. Before the study began, learners were informed about the intervention and measurement methods. Study data were anonymized by assigning a unique participant identifier to data obtained from participants.
