AbstractInformation seeking and receiving is the universally accepted right of children. When the children gets hospitalized and preparing for a surgery, it's the responsibility of the health care professionals to provide them with adequate information. Before giving the information it is essential to know what the children really wants to know. The main purpose of the study was to assess preoperative information needs of children undergoing surgery. With the non experimental research approach, a descriptive survey design was used in the study which was conducted in a selected hospital Mangaluru. Using non probability purposive sampling technique, 100 children of age 6-18 years were selected as study participants. The tool used were – the baseline proforma and the children's desire for preoperative information scale. The study results showed that majority of the children wanted to know the information regarding all the major happenings in their pre, intra and post operative events. Thus the study concludes that a structured preoperative teaching programme can be developed by the health care facility for the children undergoing surgery.

AbstractIndividuals with special health care needs experience poor oral hygiene and periodontal status and are more likely to have unmet dental needs than any other medical needs. The study was conducted to assess the views, attitudes and perceptions of oral health and treatment needs among the parents of 250 children with disabilities at 3 special schools in Mangalore based on questionnaire method. Data collected were subjected to statistical analysis.The educational status of the parents were assessed and it was seen that more than 50% of the parents had school education of class 10 and below. 52% of the parents felt that dental treatment is not as important medical treatment and 69 % of the parent's preferred general dentist and only 12.3% had consulted Pedodontist for any dental needs of their children. Only 11% followed a regular dental check-up and 57% of the parents interviewed visited dentist only when required. 30% of the parents reported lack of awareness as the greatest barrier faced by them in rendering dental care for their children.There was a generalised lack of information regarding oral health and treatment needs seen among the parents of the children with special health care needs. The level of knowledge appeared to be low and the parents were not aware of the unique problems faced by these children.

Effective communication is very important for learning process in the class. Effective communication from teacher to parent especially has important role to reach learning achievement for children with special needs ’s classes. The key of well delivered communication is when communicator and communicant have the same message in a same perception thus will have a same understanding without meaning decreasion. Information could be delivered precisely and accurately if teacher and parent have a same understanding of the message. Communication system is necessary in children with special needs school system as the main tool of academic achievement evolvement, psychological achievement, and for student physical and mental development. Two way communication between teacher and parent become the main role of quality of children with special needs family. Communication from parent could help teacher have better knowledge about student that would help teacher to plan their class in the best method they could teach to be effective learning for each student. for children with special needs class could not only involve teacher and school system but also a good network system from parent and institutions from outside class that has impact in the children with special needs physical and mental development. It is necessary to have a certain system to connect every role in children with special needs environment to record their development through communication network system involving school, family, health institution and community as communication ’s instrument support so the learning achievement would be optimally performed

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of the study was to identify risk factors and treatment needs of orphan children of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Objectives (1) To identify the association between the frequency of snacking and caries among orphan schoolchildren, (2) To assess Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli (microbiological assessment) in saliva of orphan children, and (3) To formulate treatment needs for orphan children. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study was done among 253 children of 5-, 12-, and 15-year-olds living in various orphanage houses of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Demographic data, and dietary and oral hygiene practices were collected through a structured questionnaire. Clinical examinations of children were conducted to assess oral health status and recorded in the World Health Organization oral health assessment form (1997). Stimulated saliva was collected for S. mutans and Lactobacilli levels. The statistical software, namely, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 19.0 was used for the analysis of the data. Results The final data analysis included 253 children of which 116 (45.8%) were boys and 137 (54.2%) were girls. 140 (55.33%) children were caries-free and 113 (44.66%) children presented with caries (decayed/missing/filled surface >0). High levels of salivary microbiological counts (S. mutans and Lactobacilli), i.e., ≥ 105, stress the importance of necessary preventive oral health services. Treatment needs among orphan children showed that most of the children, i.e., 58 (22.9%), need preventive or caries-arresting care followed by 49 (19.4%) who require two-surface filling as an immediate measure. Conclusion From the results of our study, orphan children have low utilization of preventive and therapeutic oral health services. Urgent attention is required to plan a comprehensive dental health-care program to improve their oral health status. Clinical significance Parents are the primary caretakers of children, but woefully some of them have to lead their lives without parents, the latter either being dead or incapable of bringing up their children. Such a group of children is known as orphans. As oral health is an integral part of general health, it is essential for health-care policy makers to address oral health needs of this underprivileged group of society. This article highlights the risk factors and treatment needs among orphan schoolchildren. How to cite this article Shanthi M, Goud EVSS, Kumar GP, Rajguru JP, Ratnasothy S, Ealla KKR.

Full textAbstract:
The idea of respite care is of recent origin, having come about largely as a result of the deinstitutionalization movement of the 1960's and 70's.Before that time, it was generally not expected that families keep a disabled member at home: and there is considerable evidence to show that those families who chose to do so, were expected to cope with the consequences on their own. No-one asked how they did it; and only the provision of crisis orientated counselling indicated that care providers recognized that these families might sometimes have hardships.

AbstractCustomarily, reflections on the need to educate sensory and bodily enactments with the world, take for granted that it is the child who must be educated. However, the educational passage of becoming 'rational' and 'grown up' often leaves the adult divorced from her own embodied self. As part of my engagement with childism (conf. Wall in Ethics in light of childhood, Georgetown University Press, Washington, 2010; The child as natural phenomenologist. Primal and primary experience in Merleau-Ponty’s psychology, Northwestern University Press, Evanston, 2013; Child Geogr, 2019, https://doi.org/10.1080/14733285.2019.1668912) in this article, I ask: Who needs sensory education? In response, I propose that it is adults who need sensory education more than their temporal others (Beauvais, in: Spyrou S, Rosen R, Cook DT (eds) Reimagining childhood studies, Bloomsbury Academic, London, pp 57–74 2018) i.e. children. As Merleau-Ponty has shown, the richness of embodied perception that children experience, is relatively distant for adults (Bahler in Child Philos 11:203–221, 2015; Welsh in The child as natural phenomenologist. Primal and primary experience in Merleau-Ponty’s psychology, Northwestern University Press, Evanston, 2013). The particular lived-experience I reflect on is the sense of temporality. Accompanied by two distinct, yet interconnected examples of encounters with Baby Ole and Captain Duke, I suggest that being-with-children can enable philosophical clearings for adults to re-cognise plural temporalities, as opposed to a singular clock-time perception of Time. (The preposition with is used in the sense of the Norwegian hos or German bei, whereby an adult intentionally positions herself as a guest in a child's world.)

AbstractYoung children who require augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) must be provided with AAC technologies that are designed to meet their needs and accommodate their skills. One critical aspect of matching the system design features of aided AAC technologies to the needs and abilities of the child with complex communication needs is a consideration of the child's developmental skills. This article provides an overview of specific, early developmental milestones in communication, cognition (i.e., attention and working memory), motor skills, and sensory-perception (including visual attention) that influence decisions regarding AAC system design for young children. Developmental considerations are also reviewed for young children with Down's syndrome, a group that often benefits from early provision of AAC. Based on developmental theory and milestones, specific recommendations are provided for the design of developmentally sensitive AAC technologies for young children who are beginning communicators.

Physical development in some children with intellectual disability could be delayed. This physical delays can trouble their movement skills. Therefore these children need practices that could improve their gross motoric skills. This research aimed to try out Sikodoka game in order to improve gross motor skills in young children with intellectual disability. Method used was class action research conducted in two cycles and four meetings. Research participants were three young children aged seven to nine years old. The research was conducted in August 2016 taking palce in Kelapa Lima Special Needs School, Kupang. Data collection techniques used were observation and test. Gross motor skills indicators were jumping with one foot skill, jumping with both feet, keeping body balance while collecting “eraâ€, tossing “era†correctly inside the square, and grasping “era†skillfully. Results showed that there was improvement in gross motor skills with mean improvement from pre-cycle 38% increased 23% to 61% in cycle 1. From cycle 1 to cycle 2 improved again 43% making the condition after cycle 2 was 95%. According to the evaluation, recommendations to teachers are to be sensitive to children’s condition that are easy to be divided in their focus, using reward system to attract children’s attention, need to compliment more, uses clapping variations to recover children’s focus, reducing activities that could trigger loud activities, using simple languages, dividing sentences that are clear and not long, and reprating games because children with intellectual disability are easy to forget.

AbstractFamilies are often the most significant communication partners for children who require augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). Because family-centered approaches are recommended practice in speech-language pathology, a primary role for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) serving children who require AAC is to support families in integrating communication into highly valued, existing family activities. Family leisure activities can provide a naturally supportive context for AAC, because they provide multiple opportunities for children to interact and practice using AAC with natural communication partners. This article aims to guide SLPs in utilizing family leisure as a context for AAC intervention. We describe the benefits and constraints of engaging in leisure for families with children with disabilities. We define family leisure, which includes two distinct types of leisure activities: core and balance. Finally, we provide a case example of a family that highlights the integration of AAC into both types of leisure activities.

INTRODUCTION: Hospital admissions for childhood skin infections in New Zealand (NZ) are on the increase. Pacific children make up a high number of those who are admitted. This study describes the parents of Pacific childrens understanding and management of skin sores in the home prior to the sores becoming infected and requiring hospital admission. METHODS: A descriptive qualitative approach combined with the Pacific research frameworks of Faafaletui and the Metaphor of Kakala were used to elicit parents understanding and management of childrens skin sores in the home. The semi-structured interviews were conducted in English or Samoan, and all transcribed into English. FINDINGS: Mothers of 11 Pacific children admitted with skin infections between 2006 and 2008 were interviewed. The childrens infections started with insect bites in some cases. Parents actively sought treatment to ensure childrens optimal health was maintained. Initial management included a watch and see approach for some, until deterioration was noted. CONCLUSION: This is the first known study in New Zealand that has captured childrens experiences when sustaining a skin infection/s and the activities that took place while seeking treatment in the community. Although most of the children received medical attention in primary health care (PHC), this did not prevent the need for hospital admission. The acuteness and seriousness of childrens health on admission shows that preventive efforts need to increase and the early management of infections in PHC settings needs to be better understood.

AbstractCOVID-19 has challenged most everyone in every facet of life. In the beginning of the pandemic shutdown, schools had to make decisions quickly often with limited planning. For students who were deaf or hard of hearing, communication access during instruction was the urgent focus of teachers of the deaf/hard of hearing and educational audiologists. The move from the classroom to home resulted in both predictable and unpredictable challenges as well as some unexpected benefits. Based on numerous conversations with these professionals as well as parents, the challenges encountered with online learning and solutions that were implemented to support students are reported.

Objectives: To assess the severity of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment needs among 12- to 15-year-old school children of Davangere District, India, by using the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI).Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 1800 12- to 15-year-old school children of Davangere District, Karnataka, India. Talukas (administrative units in some states in India) were considered clusters. Schools were selected using simple random sampling procedures. The 300 study subjects were selected using systematic random sampling procedures. Data consisting of DAI components were recorded pro forma. The collected data were subjected to statistical analysis. The Chi-square test (X2) was used to compare malocclusion severity. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was used to compare the changes in DAI scores and the mean DAI scores between age groups. The Z test was used to compare mean DAI scores between the 2 sexes and between children residing in urban and rural areas.Results: Of the 1800 school children examined, 899 (49.9%) were boys and 901 (50.1%) were girls. Most of the children (79.9%) had DAI scores ≤ 25 with no or minor malocclusion requiring no or little treatment, 15.4% had DAI scores of 26–30 with definite malocclusion requiring elective treatment, 4.2% had DAI scores of 31–35 with severe malocclusion requiring highly desirable treatment, and 0.5% had DAI scores ≥ 36 with handicapping malocclusion requiring mandatory treatment.Conclusions: The majority of the children in our study (79.9%) required no or little treatment; 20.1% had definite malocclusion requiring definite orthodontic treatment.

Background Informed and engaged parents may influence outcomes for childhood illness. Understanding the needs of the caregivers of pediatric patients is a critical first step in promoting engagement in their child's care. In 2014, we developed an Engagement Consultation Service at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. This service determines the health-related needs of the caregivers of hospitalized children and makes educational or technology recommendations to meet those needs and support engagement. Objectives This report describes the most common health-related needs identified in the caregivers of hospitalized pediatric patients and details the recommended interventions to meet those needs. Methods The most commonly reported consumer health-related needs from our 3-year experience with the Engagement Consultation Service were extracted from consultations notes. Each need was classified by semantic type using a taxonomy of consumer health needs. Typical recommendations for each need and their administration were detailed. Results The most frequently recognized needs involved communicating with health care providers after discharge, using medical devices, distinguishing between benign and concerning symptoms, knowing what questions to ask providers and remembering them, finding trustworthy sources of information online, understanding disease prognosis, and getting emotional support. A variety of apps, Web sites, printed materials, and online groups were recommended. Conclusion The parents of hospitalized patients share several common health-related needs that can be addressed with educational and technology interventions. An inpatient Engagement Consultation Service provides a generalizable framework for identifying health-related needs and delivers tools to meet those needs and promote engagement during and after hospitalizations.

AbstractInvestigating children's feelings and attitudes toward talking assists speech–language pathologists (SLPs) to understand experiences of communication and the impact of speech sound disorders (SSD). This, in turn, can assist SLPs in identifying appropriate intervention for children with SSD that addresses the needs of children, and their communication partners. This paper draws on data from the Sound Start Study in Australia to explore the attitudes toward talking of 132 preschool-aged children with SSD and the relationship between children's attitudes, speech accuracy, and parent-reported intelligibility and participation. The study revealed most of the children with SSD had a positive attitude toward talking. There was a significant relationship between children's attitudes toward talking and speech accuracy. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between speech accuracy and parents' perceptions of intelligibility and participation. However, there was no significant relationship between children's attitudes and parents' perceptions. These results highlight similarities and differences between attitudes and experiences of preschool-aged children, their performance on clinical measures, and their parents' perceptions, indicating the need for SLPs to consider each of these areas during assessment and intervention.

Introduction There has been a substantial rise in refugees entering Germany over the past years, of which approximately one-third are underaged. Many end up in pediatric surgical care, and little is known about the health of these individuals. Our study was designed to assess the surgical-related health status of underage refugees based on a large sample cohort. Materials and Methods After ethics board approval, we used a structured questionnaire to collect demographic information and surgical health-related elements in three large refugee accommodation centers. Results A total of 461 minor refugees were included. The majority were boys (54.5%) with an average age of 8 years. Out of the eight recorded countries of origin, most children came from Syria (33.6%) followed by Afghanistan (23.2%). Previous operative interventions were recorded in 42.2% of participants. Among girls, 11% suffered genital mutilation. Trauma was common and the most common mechanism was a fall from bicycle (38%) followed by burn injuries (7.4%). Up to 20% of them experienced physical violence during the flight or in the accommodation facility. Vaccination rates varied widely according to origin. Of the participants, only 63% were vaccinated according to schedule. Chronic diseases were found in only 13% of the study cohort, anemia being most prevalent at 4%. Conclusion Minor refugees have specific health-related problems that must be considered to ensure appropriate medical care. Many refugee children were victims of physical violence and many girls suffered genital mutilation. Vaccination status is unreliable; therefore, tetanus vaccination should always be considered when these patients seek pediatric surgical care. Tailored anticipatory guidance should be provided to this patient population.

The purpose of this study was to determine, First, the Implementation of the inculcation of religious values of children with special needs consisting of worship values, moral values and scientific values. Second, the implementation of the inculcation of religious values in supporting social activities of children with special needs with family and community. Third, the problem of inculcating religious values of children with special needs. A teacher must be able and patient in instilling the values of religiosity, especially the faith. The application of the inculcation of religious values, namely faith, morals and worship in children with special needs, teachers uses several different methods that are adapted to the situation and condition of the child, mentl, mood, and physical so that the inculcation of religious values can be accepted and attached to the child. . The activities of children with special needs in supporting children 's socialization activities have been carried out and are well established, children are invited by the teacher to interact both with their peers or with the community by inviting them to walk around in the complex near the school. difficulties experienced in the process of inculcating religious values of children with special needs such as worship, faith, and moral values are caused by communication factors.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryImmune thrombocytopenia in children is usually a self-limiting illness, but in adults the disease is likely to be chronic, and may be associated with other pathology which predisposes to bleeding. Despite very low platelet counts serious bleeding is rare in both adults and children. More than 80% of children have mild clinical manifestations. Intracranial haemorrhage is rare at all ages, is unpredictable and can occur at any time when the count is very low. Currently recommended therapies for both adults and children are associated with significant side effects and occasional deaths. Treatment may interfere with quality of life more than the illness itself. Drugs can be withheld in the majority of children with appropriate advice to child and family. Treatment can be individualised, taking into account the person’s needs and lifestyle as well as bleeding. In chronic ITP many need no active therapy. The situation with adults is more complex but those with a platelet count above 30 x 109/l usually need no treatment as bleeding is rare, and those adults with refractory ITP unresponsive to treatment live with very low counts for years without significant bleeding suggesting the need to re-evaluate the balance of risks of treatment versus bleeding. It is notable that adults with ITP may die from infection, probably related to therapy.

The current status of S. haematobium and S. mansoni infections among school-aged children in Oju and Obi LGAs of Benue State was investigated between July to October 2012. 786 urine and stool samples were examined using the sedimentation technique. In Oju the prevalence of S. haematobium and S. mansoni was 77 (19.3%) and 23 (5.8%) respectively. Males had a 2 prevalence of 54(20.8%) which was significantly higher than females 23(16.4%). (÷ =7.81, df = 3, P < 0.05). The prevalence rate for S. mansoni infection of males in Oju was 18 (7.0%) and females 5 (3.69%). Age group 11-15years had the highest infection rate of (18.8%) for S. haematobium and 15.2% for S. mansoni. The prevalence rates varied with age reaching the peak among age group 5-10 years (21.4%) for S. haematobium and 7.6% for S. mansoni infection. The overall indices of infection were generally highest in the 11-15years age group. Children between 5-10years contributed 93.7% of the daily egg output. Our findings justify the urgent need to develop an integrated community-based intervention that addresses the water andsanitation needs of the communities.

Full textAbstract:
Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian educator whose ideas and principles have validity in informing, understanding and responding to the challenges faced by contemporary educators . Many of her foundational principles are at the forefront of current educational thinking but are unacknowledged or unknown in mainstream education. It is argued that her ideas and principles about the spiritual wellbeing of young children have validity in the current debate. Montessori saw spirituality as innate in young children, the primary force driving their development and central to their capacity for joyful and deep engagement with their environment. She saw children’s capacity and ability to concentrate deeply as a spiritual pathway to a new level of individual consciousness and connection to the environment. These principles can inform our current thinking, understanding and response to young children’s spirituality. The conditions to bring about, support and protect what Montessori calls ‘concentration’ should be considered in pedagogical responses to the spiritual needs of young children

Full textAbstract:
How does humanitarian action at the grassroots shape support for children of intra-continental migrant? Despite a large volume of research outputs and public policy advocacy on migration, there has been little work on the crucial nexus between local humanitarian efforts and migrant children’s educational needs. Conceptually, we viewed humanitarian action beyond the traditional definition as a tool for emergency response. We included efforts aimed at dignifying migrant children with basic education and enhancement of their integration in the new location. Cross-sectional data obtained from agencies of government at the grassroots were employed to measure the effects of local humanitarian action on the education of migrant children. The finding showed that institutionalised humanitarian efforts provide real-time support for basic education of migrant children. Also, burdensome obligations and lack of financial independence for governance at the grassroots curtailed the magnitude of assistance rendered by local authorities. Using Talcott Parson’s functionalist theory, we suggested three mutually transformative approaches. First, constraints by the upper levels of government– State and Federal tiers– exacerbate financial incapacitation and, ultimately, impede humanitarian effort at the grassroots. Second, provision of critical humanitarian needs, such as migrant children’s education, fosters social integration and crime control among migrants. Finally, intra-continental migration is not debased by acculturation. The findings showcase the need for strengthening the financial capacity of governance at the grassroots to reinforce common interests between migrants and host communities.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the research results, the aim of which was to learn different ways of dealing with aggression by teachers, and to examine knowledge that children have about aggression and related problems. Research problems were formulated that concerned ways of eliminating children`s aggressive behaviors, which are used by teachers at work. One of the research tools was a questionnaire addressed to teachers. Providing answers, they had to demonstrate their knowledge about the different types of aggression that can be observed among children, and describe the methods and ways of dealing with it. The children were interviewed by a puppet, which was used to transform the interview into a process of interaction and to reduce the distance between the child and the researcher. The second study involving children was an interview focused on a problem. The presented research results have shown how big the problem is aggression in the life of preschool children who have shown a great knowledge about this subject. The article includes quotes from children's statements, that give an idea of what they think, feel or experience dealing with aggression. The study shows, that all the tested teachers are aware of factors causing aggression in children and know different methods and ways of eliminating aggressive behaviors. In practice, however, they are not always able to cope with this difficult and important problem and they need support. This research can be useful for teachers and parents so that they learn and understand better the problem of aggression which is ubiquitous among children, familiarize with the ways of reacting properly in difficult situations and ways of eliminating aggressive behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
The benefits of frequency-modulated (FM) systems have been well established. An FM system provides a favorable signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio even in the most difficult listening situations. With today's technology, FM systems are smaller and easier to use; however, many older school-aged children and adolescents choose to not use them, due to a variety of reasons. This manuscript provides suggestions for creative ways for audiologists to meet the needs of adolescents. Audiologists who work with school-aged children and adolescents can be creative in regards to FM technology and encourage FM use beyond the traditional classroom. Audiologists also can provide information on assistive devices and alternative technology such as the use of direct audio input (DAI), vibrating alarm clocks, and Bluetooth® technology. These options may address the unique listening needs of adolescents and allow them to interact and participate in the same activities as their normal-hearing peers.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThere is a growing population of children with prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization. These children with chronic critical illness (CCI) have a high health care utilization. Emerging data suggest a mismatch between the ICU acute care models and the daily care needs of these patients. Clinicians and parents report that the frequent treatment alterations typical for ICU care may be interrupting and jeopardizing the slow recoveries typical for children with CCI. These frequent treatment titrations could therefore be prolonging ICU stays even further. The aim of this study is to evaluate and summarize existing literature regarding pace and consistency of ICU care for patients with CCI. We performed a systematic review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines (of September 2018). PubMed (biomedical and life sciences literature), Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE), and The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) were searched for English-language studies with data about CCI, care models, and pacing of clinical management. Four unique papers were identified. Our most important finding was that quality data on chronic ICU management, particularly for children, is sparse. All papers in this review confirmed the unique needs of chronic patients, particularly related to respiratory management, which is a common driver of ICU length of stay. Taken together, the papers support the hypothesis that protocols to reduce interdisciplinary management variability and to allow for slower management pacing should be studied for their impact on patient and health system outcomes. Optimizing value in ICU care requires mapping of resources to patient needs, particularly for patients with the most intense resource utilization. For children with CCI, parents and clinicians report that rapid treatment changes undermine recovery and prolong ICU stays. This review highlights the lack of quality pediatric research in this area and supports further investigation of a “slow and steady” approach to ICU management for children with CCI.

AbstractThe vast majority of treatment efficacy research in the area of phonology focuses on issues relevant to children who have significant limitations in productive phonology but are “typically developing” in most other ways. The base of evidence to guide clinicians on planning intervention for children with phonological and cooccurring expressive language difficulties (PD + LI) is less well developed. Thus, the goal of this paper is to summarize the evidence on two treatment procedures designed to facilitate growth in phonological inventory for children who also require direct intervention to target other aspects of expressive language. We first review what is known about the delicate interaction between phonology and grammatical morphology. We focus the remainder of the summary on what is known about how to best address the more complex needs of children with PD + LI in intervention.

Full textAbstract:
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs in a significant proportion of children and adolescents and requires a sleep study to diagnose the condition. However, there are relatively few sleep laboratories that serve this population. Consequently, this means sleep studies are not done in a timely manner, and many of these patients do not get studies performed when indicated. Building new pediatric-focused sleep laboratories or expanding service in an adult-focused laboratory to children can help overcome this barrier.The decision to build or modify an existing sleep laboratory for children brings many considerations that are different than for adults. The location of the laboratory is partially determined by the need for the presence of a sleep technologist. Whether they are done in the community or a hospital will be affected by the patient's medical complexity. The design of the sleep laboratory can also be influenced by the presence of children. All children, under 18 years of age, will require a parent to sleep in the room with them. Safety will also be impacted. For example, electric outlets need to be protected, furniture should be child safe, and transportation to emergency facilities must be managed. In addition, service to children also raises technical issues. They require different types of leads and smaller equipment and the software must meet required pediatric specifications. The staff must understand pediatric developmental, social, and medical needs. It is also critical that they have a desire to work with children.This article is written to assist the reader in building a sleep laboratory with the pediatric patient in mind.

Introduction26.5% of psychiatric patients in Germany have minor children. More than half of these children have specific needs, which are seldom met.Objectives/aimsTo examine problems, needs and used interventions for families with a mentally ill parent in the federal state of Saxony, Germany. The study focused on outpatients and included mothers and fathers and all psychiatric disorders.MethodsWe asked all psychiatrists in the federal state of Saxony to take part in our study. All patients with minor children who came to one of the 58 participating psychiatrist's practices at an appointed date were asked to fill out a detailed questionnaire including sociodemographic data, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), specific needs, used interventions and reasons for not using interventions. The questionnaire was developed using data from 26 expert interviews.Results128 psychiatric outpatients took part in our study (78% female). The most common diagnoses were depression and anxiety disorders. More than 40% of the patients rated their children in the SDQ in an abnormal or borderline range. 22% of the children have been treated because of emotional or behavioural problems. Reasons not to use interventions were missing knowledge and fear of stigmatisation.ConclusionsHELP-S for children is the first study which examines the situation of children with a mentally ill parent in an outpatient setting. Therefore, our results are an improvement in research in the field of families with a mentally ill parent and heading towards the improvement of care.

Full textAbstract:
�Adventures of Huckleberry Finn� is a great novel written in the nineteenth century by Mark Twain, the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens. According to critics, this novel was written to criticise practices of slavery in the United States during his time, especially in states along the Mississippi river banks. This research aimed at explaining the hierarchy of needs of Jim and the motivations of his escape. The method used in this research was qualitative, with humans� hierarchy of needs by Abraham Maslow employed. The analysis showed that the needs of Jim were divided into three phases, i.e., the phase of Jim as a slave, the phase of Jim as a runaway slave, and the phase of Jim as a free man. The results showed that there were four reasons why Jim decided to escape from Mrs. Watson, his master, i.e., 1) the master�s anger at Jim, 2) Jim�s conscience about himself as the object for capital gain, 3) his freedom as a human, and 4) his own happiness. It is concluded from the research that as a slave, Jim feels that his life needs cannot be fulfilled even when he is already free as long as he can never be reunited with his wife and children, who he thinks will give happiness to him. Based on the theory of Maslow�s hierarchy of needs, Jim�s higher level of need is love-and-belonging need.�

Abstract Objective This study aimed to identify the role of nutrition in the etiology of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) by comparing the prevalence of CSOM between undernourished children with normal children aged between 10 and 12 years. Materials and Methods A total of 200 children aged between 10 and 12 years studying in government schools were selected for the study. All the children underwent a general and detailed ENT examination in addition to nutritional assessment based on body mass index calculation, using World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards Chart. The children were divided into two groups: Group A and Group B. Group A consisted of 100 children who were malnourished and Group B consisted of 100 children who were normal. The presence of CSOM in the two groups was noted. Results and Observations Of the total 200 children, 112 were boys (56%) and 88 were girls (44%). Of the 112 boys, 22 (19.64%) had CSOM and out of 88 girls, 24 (27.27%) had CSOM. Of the total 46 children found to have CSOM, 35 children (76.1%) belonged to Group A and 11 children (23.9%) belonged to Group B. Conclusion Our study shows that there is a higher prevalence of CSOM among undernourished children than in normal children. High prevalence of CSOM in undernourished children is a preventable health problem that needs health education and active intervention.

Inclusive Education (IE) of children with atypical development is a great challenge, as schools here, predominantly do not grant them admission, on grounds of having negligible infrastructure to cater to their needs. This is usually based upon inaccurate presumptions about the children’s (impoverished) physical, social, communicative, intellectual and literacy skills, and creates more obstacles towards achieving IE. The UN establishes education as every child’s right and proposes that, all children regardless of their abilities must go to the same school, making it incumbent on the school system to fulfill the requirements of every child. Today, the developed countries have a well established IE system, and have nearly shelved the ‘special school’ methodology. To ascertain, this realm in Karachi the speech language therapists and students of College of Speech Language & Hearing Sciences(CSLHS), Ziauddin University, indulged with five parents, whose children, despite having speech-language impediments, found a way into mainstream schools, in here. The aim was to gain an insight towards achieving IE for all children deserving to be integrated into mainstream schools in Pakistan. The results of this study although not very encouraging, pointed towards establishing early intervention, and training school personnel in identifying and working with differently-abled children in their classroom.

AbstractMortality in newborn infants and children with sepsis is high with survival rates of generally more than 50% in recent studies. Longitudinal follow-up studies have the potential to reveal short-term and lifelong physical, mental, and psychological sequelae. Although no comprehensive follow-up research has yet been performed, a small number of follow-up studies have shown that there is a considerable impact on the patients' lives and their families after hospital discharge. Health-related quality of life also seems to be affected; however, it does not correlate with severity of sepsis or handicap per se. Prematurely born infants, who can develop sequelae directly attributable to prematurity and its consequences, suffer differently from sepsis-related lifelong sequelae compared with older children. Fortunately, time may heal some wounds due to the effect of growth in children. In future, large centers should establish structural follow-up programs for clinical and research purposes to learn more about the needs of affected children and their families.

Children?s patterns of behavior in the school environment, conditioned by various levels of individual or group needs, represent the basic modalities of their relationship towards the immediate, both social and physical, environment. This paper studies the connection between the behavior of school children, whose relationships with their given social environment can take various forms, and certain spatial characteristics of elementary schools. The results indicate that there is a need to achieve a balanced relationship between a strictly defined and an open form of the physical environment in order to create conditions in which school children will express their current orientation and attitude toward their immediate social environment through their behavior in that particular physical environment. This includes the organization of a dynamic and shifting environment, spatial planning which needs to enable a greater degree of privacy in certain zones and the organization of spatial flow which enables adequate visual communication between the school children and the flexible structure of the space meant for education.

The present study focused on children referred to a psychiatric outpatient facility from the regular classroom for evaluation of behavioral and school-learning problems. Behavioral problems noted during the initial evaluation for each child were coded according to a master list of over 60 behavioral characteristics grouped into seven broad categories: conduct disorders, emotional disorders, social relationship disorders, attentional disorders, hyperactivity, language disorders, and developmental delays/physical disorders. Then classroom placement recommendations were made by a school interdisciplinary team and categorized according to four classroom integration options ranging from total integration to integration for less than 1–2 hours daily. Results indicate general trends in the relationship between placement option(s) and the incidence and severity of presenting behavioral profiles. The meaning of these results is discussed in relation to research that emphasizes the lack of concordance between clinical, psychoeducational test profiles, psychiatric classification schemes, and classroom placement recommendations for special education students.

ABSTRACT Objective The study was to examine the prevalence of dental caries and treatment needs among the orphan children and adolescents of Udaipur district, Rajasthan, India. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the oral health status and treatment needs of orphan children. The lists obtained comprised of 13 orphanages consisting of 923 inmates including both sexes. The survey proforma was prepared using a self-administered structured questionnaire written in English validated through a pretested survey. The statistical software namely SPSS 15.0 was used for the analysis of the data. Results The prevalence of dental caries in primary teeth was found to be 49.6% and in permanent teeth was 41%. Most of the children need one surface filling followed by pulp care. Conclusion The unmet needs for decayed teeth were also found to be high indicating a very poor accessibility and availability of any oral health care. Clearly, it can be concluded that this community has experienced a low utilization of preventive or therapeutic oral health services. Clinical significance Orphanage children in India are usually taken care by NGOs or social workers who do not realize that dental care and oral health forms an integral part of children well-being. So, this paper enlighten the prevalence of dental caries and treatment needs among the orphan children and adolescents.
