Full textAquesta tesi està formada per tres assajos que investiguen l’efecte dels xocs en la salut dels infants, en el seu benestar i el de la seva família. Al primer capítol, investiguem l’efecte de néixer per cesària en la salut neonatal. Utilitzem variació en la probabilitat de cesària no planificada segons l’hora del dia com a instrument pel tipus de part i trobem un efecte negatiu, petit, en la salut neonatal. Al segon capítol, utilitzem una metodologia similar per analitzar l’efecte de néixer per cesària a llarg termini. Trobem que néixer per cesària no planificada augmenta el risc de patir asma, però no afecta altres malalties immunològiques que prèviament s’havien trobat associades amb la cesària. A l’ últim capítol estudio l’impacte que té que l’infant pateixi un xoc en la seva salut, al mercat laboral de les mares i pares. La meva estratègia d’identificació es basa a comparar progenitors amb la mateixa edat, amb fills de la mateixa edat, però que pateixen el xoc en diferents moments. Els ingressos de les mares i pares pateixen una caiguda substancial i persistent després de l’episodi. També trobo que aquest esdeveniment afecta la salut mental de les mares i pares.
Esta tesis está formada por tres ensayos que investigan el efecto de shocks en la salud de los niños y niñas, en su bienestar y el de su familia. En el primer capítulo, investigamos el efecto de nacer por cesárea en la salud neonatal. Utilizamos variación en la probabilidad de cesárea no planificada según la hora del día como instrumento para el tipo de parto, y encontramos un efecto negativo, pequeño, en la salud neonatal. En el segundo capítulo, utilizamos una metodología similar para analizar el efecto de nacer por cesárea a largo plazo. Encontramos que nacer por cesárea no planificada aumenta el riesgo de sufrir asma, pero no afecta otras enfermedades inmunológicas que previamente se asociaban con nacer por cesárea. En el último capítulo estudio el impacto de sufrir una hospitalización severa durante la infancia, en el mercado laboral de las madres y padres. Mi estrategia de identificación se basa en comparar progenitores con la misma edad, con hijos de la misma edad, pero que sufren el evento en diferentes momentos. Los ingresos de las madres y padres sufren una caída sustancial y persistente después del episodio. También encuentro que esto afecta a la salud mental de las madres y padres.

Full textRelations between parents and children play an essential role across the life course. A vast number of studies provide empirical evidence for the link between parental attachment and the psychological well-being of children. The purpose of this descriptive qualitative study was to explore how American and American Lebanese parents perceive the influence of parent-child relationships on their children’s well-being. Bowlby’s attachment theory provided the theoretical framework for the study. A qualitative descriptive design was used in which 100 parents were sampled to complete a mostly open-ended online questionnaire. Additionally, 12 parent participants were interviewed by phone. Questionnaire results were presented in percentages and summary format. Interview results were deductively summarized. Main codes for the first research question were parent/child bonding, reciprocal communication patterns and connectedness. Main codes for the second research question included barriers to parent/child relationships and changes that occurred in the relationship over time. Findings did not reveal culture significantly influenced parent/child relationships in this sample. In conclusion, the study identified that closeness and communication are related to family the parent/child relationship. Due to limited analysis strategy and limited variation in the sample, more research is recommended.

Full textThe effectiveness of prevention of mother-to-child of HIV (PMTCT) programmes depends on the successful coverage of a series of interventions through pregnancy, intrapartum and postpartum. Routine monitoring systems based on service data and limited to women on the PMTCT programme may overestimate intervention coverage at multiple points along this cascade. Methods: Cord blood specimens with individually linked anonymous demographic and pregnancy data were collected from three delivery services in the Western Cape Province, South Africa, and screened for HIV. Seropositive specimens were tested for the presence of antiretrovirals.

Full textAim: The overall aim of this thesis was to describe and explore everyday life in families with a child with ADHD and public health nurses’ role in relation to these families. Methods: An explorative and descriptive design with qualitative and quantitative methods was used. In Study I, data was collected with individual interviews with nine parents, and analyzed using phenomenology. In Study II, the data was collected with individual interviews with 17 family members, and analyzed with phenomenography. In Study III, data was collected with a questionnaire responded by 265 parents, and analyzed with statistics. In Study IV, data was collected with group- and individual interviews with 19 public health nurses, and analyzed with phenomenography. Main findings: The families’ everyday life was influenced by living in unpredictability, though they were striving for predictability. The experience of being a parent was described as contending and adapting every day, like windsurfing in unpredictable waters (I). The family tried to safeguard a functioning family in managing their everyday life and developing special skills, within the family and the society. They fought for acceptance and inclusion in relation to the social network and professionals (II). Parents’ sense of coherence, children’s behavior, support from social networks and community health services had all an impact on family functioning (III). The PHNs described their role as both a peripheral and a collaborating partner and they asked for guidelines and multidisciplinary collaboration (IV). Conclusions: Everyday life in families with ADHD is both demanding and giving. Acceptance and support from the social network and supervision from the professionals are essential. The public health nurse is in a unique position to support and supervise these families.

Soto, Carol. "The Process of Mothering an Obese Child." Thesis, Adelphi University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3663097.
Full textMaternal influence has been identified as a crucial factor in identifying and predicting if a child will be obese and can influence children's future comorbidities if they are obese. There is a dearth of research focused literature on the mothers' perspectives in caring for a child with obesity. The purpose of this grounded theory study (Glaser & Strauss (1967)) was to identify a process of mothering an obese child. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 mothers. The transcripts of the interviews were coded, and coded data were then categorized and further analyzed to conceptualize a process. Three final phases, realizing, limiting and eliminating, and doing something, each with subcategories, explained the process of mothering an obese child. Limiting and Eliminating emerged as the core variable for this process. That is, mothers primarily used limiting and eliminating foods for their child, a strategy well known today to be ineffective for weight loss in children. Moreover, the mothers were not aware of many of the contemporary strategies for obesity intervention for children. This study's findings will inform health care professionals who work in both prevention and intervention settings with mothers of obese children and those at risk for developing obesity.

Full textEmerging research suggests that children's physical health may account for some of the variability in developmental competencies at school entry, which are the cognitive, learning, and behavioral skills necessary for long-term academic achievement. Most studies on children's health find that neonatal risks, like low birth weight and premature birth, impair children's early functioning, but little is known about other domains of children's health, like global health or acute and chronic conditions, which may be associated with functioning at school entry. Moreover, it is unclear what role physical health may play in children's access to and engagement in home and early childhood education center-based learning contexts, which may function as pathways linking early health disparities with later development. This dissertation tested direct associations between a range of childhood health problems and school readiness skills at kindergarten entry, as well as indirect and interacted associations with early learning contexts. Given the well-established socioeconomic gradient in both health and development, analyses also explored whether associations linking health and development were conditional on family socioeconomic status. Data were drawn from the nationally representative Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (Birth Cohort; N = 5,900), which follows a cohort of children born in 2001 from infancy through kindergarten entry. Linear regressions and path analyses revealed that four of five health conditions were associated with lower school readiness skills, most consistently in the domains of cognitive and learning skills. Neonatal risks, poor health, and hospitalization functioned directly to predict lower cognitive and learning skills, where as asthma diagnosis predicted heightened learning skills. Only poor health functioned indirectly through more restricted home learning activities. Children's time in ECE functioned in a compensatory role to attenuate associations between hospitalization and lower school readiness skills. Across all models, there was no evidence that measured associations varied across the family socioeconomic spectrum. Findings highlight the importance of interdisciplinary research on child well-being and draw attention to potential avenues for prevention and intervention
