Abstract:
Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) co-occupations may impact parent–infant outcomes. The main objective of this study was to explore relationships between parent and infant outcomes based on whether sensory-based interventions (co-occupations) occurred most often between parent–infant dyads or provider/volunteer–infant dyads. Thirty-five families received the Supporting and Enhancing NICU Sensory Experiences (SENSE) program, which includes education defining specific amounts of sensory exposures for infants to receive each day of NICU hospitalization (with a preference for parent delivery). Infant sensory experiences in the NICU were logged, and dyads were grouped based on who conducted most of the sensory interventions with the infant in the NICU into a Parent–Infant Co-occupation group or Other Administered group. The Parent–Infant Co-occupation group had infants with less lethargy on the NICU Network Neurobehavioral Scale ( p = .04), and parents with lower scores on the Parental Stress Scale ( p = .003) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-state ( p = .047). Parent–infant engagement in co-occupations was related to parental mental health and infant neurobehavior.

Abstract:
Objective: To examine changes that occur in infant and parent salivary oxytocin (OT) and salivary cortisol (SC) levels during skin-to-skin contact (SSC) and whether SSC alleviates parental stress and anxiety while also supporting mother–father–infant relationships. Methods: This randomized crossover study was conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with a sample of 28 stable preterm infants and their parents. Saliva samples were collected from infants, mothers, and fathers on Days 1 and 2 (1/parent) for OT and cortisol measurement pre-SSC, during a 60-min SSC session, and a 45-min post-SSC. Parental anxiety was measured at the same time points. Parent–infant interaction was examined prior to discharge on Day 3 via video for synchrony and responsiveness using Dyadic Mutuality Coding. Results: Salivary OT levels increased significantly during SSC for mothers ( p < .001), fathers ( p < .002), and infants ( p < .002). Infant SC levels decreased significantly ( p < .001) during SSC as compared to before and after SSC. Parent anxiety scores were significantly related to parent OT and SC levels. Parents with higher OT levels exhibited more synchrony and responsiveness ( p < .001) in their infant interactions. Conclusion: This study addresses a gap in understanding the mechanisms linking parent–infant contact to biobehavioral responses. SSC activated OT release and decreased infant SC levels. Facilitation of SSC may be an effective intervention to reduce parent and infant stress in the NICU. Findings advance the exploration of OT as a potential moderator for improving responsiveness and synchrony in parent–infant interactions.

Abstract:
Parents of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) experience one of the most stressful events of their lives. At times, they are unable to participate fully, if at all, in the care of their infant. Parents in the NICU have a need to participate in the care of their infant to attain the parental role. Parental reading to infants in the NICU is an intervention that can connect the parent and infant and offers a way for parents to participate in caregiving. This intervention may have many benefits and may positively affect the parent–infant relationship.

Abstract:
(1) Background. The birth of an infant at 23 to 24 weeks poses a significant challenge to healthy parent–infant bonding because of the high risk of infant loss and the prolonged separation. The aim of this study was to retrospectively explore the narratives of parents with children born at 23–24 weeks about their bonding formation and relational experiences. (2) Methods. This was a qualitative descriptive study conducted with Finnish parents of children born at 23 or 24 weeks of gestation. Twenty-nine mothers and eight fathers were retrospectively interviewed using a semi-structured interview about the bonding process with their infant during the period in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and their later parent–child relationship. Parents’ narratives were deductively analysed according to a framework previously developed for studying parental bonding. (3) Results. Our results showed that several parents described the bonding process as natural or even easy despite the traumatic start to parenthood. Support from NICU staff and providing opportunities for participation in infant care and parent–infant physical closeness were reported to enhance the bonding process. Our study identified earlier parenting experience as a new element supporting bonding. (4) Conclusions. According to our results, essential elements enhancing parent–infant bonding in NICU settings seem to be supporting parents psychologically, promoting parent–infant closeness, and encouraging parental participation in the infants’ care, even with the most immature infants.

Abstract:
Mothers of extremely preterm infants experience high rates of mental health disorders that impair maternal–infant interaction and lead to worse infant developmental outcomes. Therapist Education and Massage for Parent–Infant Outcomes (TEMPO) is a therapist-led program that standardizes the nature and frequency of parent education through weekly scheduled therapy sessions. Using a family-centered approach, the therapist facilitates positive maternal–infant interactions and massage interventions from birth throughout hospitalization with the goal of improving maternal mental health. This qualitative study presents the results of 19 parent interviews and of a focus group of four TEMPO interventionists to elicit feedback about the program. Overall, parents and therapists viewed the program positively. Parents and therapists valued the focus on parent education and engagement to increase parent competence and bonding opportunities. Both groups acknowledged that infant massage had both infant-centered and parent-centered benefits. One area where parent and therapist views did not align was regarding feasibility of TEMPO. Parents noted multiple logistical challenges to regular NICU visitation, but ultimately agreed that attending weekly therapy sessions was feasible. Therapists noted increased time and effort required of TEMPO and felt that institutional and system-level changes would be necessary to implement weekly parent education as standard of care.

Abstract:
This study examined the association between fathers' alcoholism and other risk factors such as parental depression, family conflict, infant temperament, and parent–infant attachment. The quality of parent–infant interactions was hypothesized to be a proximal mediator of the associations among alcoholism and other risk factors and attachment. The participants were 223 families (104 nonalcoholic families and 119 alcoholic families) with 12-month-old infants recruited through birth records. Infants in families with two parents with alcohol problem had significantly higher rates of insecure attachment with both parents. Structural Equations Modeling indicated that the fathers' alcohol problem was associated with lower paternal sensitivity (higher negative affect, lower positive engagement, and lower sensitive responding) during father–infant play interactions, and this in turn was associated with higher risk for infant attachment insecurity with fathers. The association between the fathers' alcohol problem and infant attachment security with the mother was mediated by maternal depression, and maternal alcohol problems and family conflict were associated with maternal sensitivity during play interactions. These results indicate that the fathers' alcoholism is associated with higher family risk including the quality of the parent–infant relationship; infant attachment develops in a family context; and this context has a significant association with attachment security.

Abstract:
Emotional mimicry, the tendency to automatically and spontaneously reproduce others’ facial expressions, characterizes human social interactions from infancy onwards. Yet, little is known about the factors modulating its development in the first year of life. This study investigated infant emotional mimicry and its association with parent emotional mimicry, parent-infant mutual attention, and parent dispositional affective empathy. One hundred and seventeen parent-infant dyads (51 six-month-olds, 66 twelve-month-olds) were observed during video presentation of strangers’ happy, sad, angry, and fearful faces. Infant and parent emotional mimicry (i.e., facial expressions valence-congruent to the video) and their mutual attention (i.e., simultaneous gaze at one another) were systematically coded second-by-second. Parent empathy was assessed via self-report. Path models indicated that infant mimicry of happy stimuli was positively and independently associated with parent mimicry and affective empathy, while infant mimicry of sad stimuli was related to longer parent-infant mutual attention. Findings provide new insights into infants’ and parents’ coordination of mimicry and attention during triadic contexts of interactions, endorsing the social-affiliative function of mimicry already present in infancy: emotional mimicry occurs as an automatic parent-infant shared behavior and early manifestation of empathy only when strangers’ emotional displays are positive, and thus perceived as affiliative.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Research investigating how observers empathize or form estimations of an individual experiencing pain suggests that both characteristics of the observer (‘top down’) and characteristics of the individual in pain (‘bottom up’) are influential. However, experts have opined that infant behaviour should serve as a crucial determinant of infant pain judgment due to their inability to self-report.OBJECTIVE: To predict parents’ immunization pain ratings using archival data. It was hypothesized that infant behaviour (‘bottom up’) and parental emotional availability (‘top down’) would directly predict the most variance in parent pain ratings.METHODS: Healthy infants were naturalistically observed during their two-, four-, six- and/or 12-month immunization appointments. Cross-sectional latent growth curve models in a structural equation model context were conducted at each age (n=469 to n=579) to examine direct and indirect predictors of parental ratings of their infant’s pain.RESULTS: At each age, each model suggested that moderate amounts of variance in parent pain report were accounted for by models that included infant pain behaviours (R2=0.18 to 0.36). Moreover, notable differences were found for older versus younger infants with regard to parental emotional availability, infant sex, caregiver age and amount of variance explained by infant variables.CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study suggest that parent pain ratings are not predominantly predicted by infant behaviours, especially before four months of age. Current results suggest that recognizing infant pain behaviours during painful events may be an important area of parent education, especially for parents of very young infants. Further work is needed to determine other factors that predict parent judgments of infant pain.

Abstract:
Infant-directed singing is a medium for parents and infants to communicate in a mutual relationship. Parental infant-directed singing is a multisensory, biopsychosocial communication that applies to ill and vulnerable hospitalised infants. The primary musical features of infant-directed singing are ideal for emotional coordination and sharing between parent and infant without the risk of over-stimulation. In this article, we suggest that parental infant-directed singing is regarded as a nonpharmacological emotion regulation intervention, which may modify the painful experience for both the infant and the parent before, during and after painful procedures in the neonatal intensive care context. Parents have the biopsychosocial resources to alleviate their infant’s pain through infant-directed singing, if they are empowered to do so and coached in this process. A music therapist specialised in neonatal music therapy methods can mentor parents in how to use entrained and attuned live lullaby singing in connection to painful procedures. Pain and the vast amount of painful procedures early in infancy, combined with early parent–infant separation and lack of parental participation in the care of the infant during neonatal intensive care, place arduous strain on the new family’s attachment process and on the infant’s and parents’ mental health, both from a short and long-term perspective. Therefore, we argue with biopsychosocial rationales, that live parental infant-directed singing should be promoted in neonatal pain care worldwide. Consequently, parents should be welcomed round the clock and invited as prescribed pain management for their infant.

Abstract:
ObjectiveInterventions improving parent satisfaction can reduce parent stress, may improve parent-infant bonding and infant outcomes. Our objective was to systematically review neonatal interventions relating to parents of infants of all gestations where an outcome was parent satisfaction.MethodsWe searched the databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, HMIC, Maternity and Infant Care between 1 January 1946 and 1 October 2017. Inclusion criteria were randomised controlled trials (RCT), cohort studies and other non-randomised studies if participants were parents of infants receiving neonatal care, interventions were implemented in neonatal units (of any care level) and ≥1 quantitative outcome of parent satisfaction was measured. Included studies were limited to the English language only. We extracted study characteristics, interventions, outcomes and parent involvement in intervention design. Included studies were not sufficiently homogenous to enable quantitative synthesis. We assessed quality with the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool (randomised) and the ROBINS-I tool (Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies - of Interventions) (non-randomised studies).ResultsWe identified 32 studies with satisfaction measures from over 2800 parents and grouped interventions into 5 themes. Most studies were non-randomised involving preterm infants. Parent satisfaction was measured by 334 different questions in 29 questionnaires (only 6/29 fully validated). 18/32 studies reported higher parent satisfaction in the intervention group. The intervention theme with most studies reporting higher satisfaction was parent involvement (10/14). Five (5/32) studies reported involving parents in intervention design. All studies had high risk of bias.ConclusionsMany interventions, commonly relating to parent involvement, are reported to improve parent satisfaction. Inconsistency in satisfaction measurements and high risk of bias makes this low-quality evidence. Standardised, validated parent satisfaction measures are needed, as well as higher quality trials of parent experience involving parents in intervention design.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42017072388.

Abstract:
Early interactions between parents and infants are thought to be critical of later development. In particular joint attention has been an area of research and investigations. This study sought to measure joint attention behaviors in infants from 5 to 33 weeks of age under naturalistic conditions: in the home with the mother as the interaction partner given no instructions. Videotapes of the infant-parent interactions were observed and data were collected on behaviors related to joint attention. Given observations occur at younger ages than other studies considered, engagement data results indicate increasing trends for 3 of the 5 infants observed while the direction of infant gaze results indicate patterns consistent with descriptions currently in the literature. Parent behavior data indicate high levels of support in engaging infant attention. Furthering an understanding of joint attention by observing at earlier ages in infant development may be useful in informing teaching programs for infants who have not developed joint attention skills.

Abstract:
Child maltreatment is a significant public health problem that increases when children live in homes in which intimate partner violence (IPV) is present. Child maltreatment and IPV often co-occur, and the sequelae of IPV frequently appear in both the victimized mother and her children. Home visitation programs, such as SafeCare®, are used as intervention strategies to reduce the risk of child maltreatment, but rarely are these programs adapted for Latino populations. The importance of cultural sensitivity in parenting programs has been highlighted as a means of producing successful outcomes when working with Latino families. The present single-case research design study evaluated the efficacy of SafeCare's Parent-Infant Interaction (PII) module when delivered in Spanish to a Latino mother with prior experiences of IPV. Observational data were used to document changes in parenting behaviors, while self-report measures assessed exposure to IPV and changes in mental health, parenting stress, and the risk of child maltreatment. Qualitative data provided suggestions for culturally adapting PII for Latino families. Data from this study suggest that PII improves parent-infant interactions when delivered in Spanish and reduces the risk of child maltreatment. Additionally, self-report measures indicate that IPV, parent mental health distress, and the risk of child maltreatment co-occur. This study also shares with the field the importance of providing culturally adapted programs when working with Latino families.

Full text
Abstract:
The development of emotion regulation skills is an imperative task early in development. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), a physiological proxy of regulation, is indicative of one’s regulatory capacity and can be predictive of behavior in later life (Graham, Ablow, & Measelle, 2010; Moore, 2010). Children begin regulating their emotions at a physiological level early in infancy. Infants who are able to properly suppress RSA have higher quality social interactions in childhood (Graziano, Keane, & Calkins, 2007). Previous work has suggested that parents play a role in predicting infant RSA (Conradt & Ablow, 2010). For example, parent marital satisfaction is known to impact infants’ physiological regulation, such that infants whose parents are less satisfied with their marriages have a decreased ability to regulate physiologically (Moore et al., 2009; Porter, Wouden-Miller, Silva, & Porter, 2003). Previous research has found that parent personality impacts parenting strategies (Cummings & Davies, 1994; Prinzie, Stams, Deković, Reijntjes, & Belsky, 2009), however work examining how parent personality interacts with marital satisfaction to predict infant RSA is lacking. Moreover, the majority of previous work assessing the parent predictors of infant RSA focused on mothers (e.g., Moore et al., 2009). There are known differences in the way mothers and fathers interact with their infants, as well as differences in the way fathers and mothers respond to marital dissatisfaction (Forbes, Cohn, Allen, & Lewinsohn, 2004; Karney & Bradbury, 1995). The present study focused on examining how marital satisfaction and parent personality predicts infant RSA with mothers and fathers. The current study involved 38 families (6-month old infants, mothers, and fathers). Parents completed questionnaires measuring marital satisfaction and personality. Mother-infant and fatherinfant dyads participated in a baseline and face-to-face play task (Still Face Paradigm; Tronick, Als, Adamson, Wise, & Brazelton, 1978), where infant physiological regulation was assessed. Results involving mothers did not yield significant findings predicting infant physiological regulation. For fathers, results indicated that parent personality and parent marital satisfaction predicted infant physiological regulation. The current study highlights the importance of examining the roles of both mothers and fathers predicting infant physiological regulation.

Full text
Abstract:
When considering how to design medical devices considering the needs of the patient and hospital staff may seem sufficient. Hospitalized infants are patients who cannot speak or advocate for their needs; the parents and the hospital staff caring for infant patients have different roles that together are integral to an infant’s recovery. Figure 1 shows how mothers, nurses, and infants form a system of care to promote infant patient healing. In particular caregiver behaviors such as kangaroo care (KC), are dependent upon the involvement of family. KC, defined as bare skin-to-skin contact between an infant and an adult caregiver, is usually done chest-to-chest. The design of wearables for the caregivers holding the infant patient can make KC easier and be part of wearable medical device design that improves infant patient outcomes.

Abstract:
Abstract Infants spend most of the day sleeping anywhere. In the past, most parents put their infants to sleep in the prone position, but recently they put their infants to sleep in the prone position because of an issue of sudden infant death syndrome. When infants sleep in a supine position for a long time, occipital bone deformation is occurred because of pressure at the occipital region. To prevent minimize the pressure on the infant’s head and body, through the finite element simulation using the infant model, a baby cushion for the stroller was designed using the central composite design (CCD) method. The maximum contact pressure between the designed cushion and the infant model was 22.8 mmHg and this value is about 50 % lower than the pressure that occurred between the infant model and the general cushion. It can be helpful to reduce the possibility of a baby’s head deformation and other body disorders.

Abstract:
&#60;p&#62;INTRODUCTION&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;From 2000 to 2015, overall mortality from malaria halved. But since then, mortality rates have stagnated and even risen again in some African countries. It has been suggested that one reason for this increase in child mortality may be due to delayed treatment seeking while parents first attempt self-medication. However, the reality may be more complex. We investigated care pathways, from the onset of a child’s symptoms of severe malaria to hospital admission.&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;METHODS&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;Our study took a combined approach, including quantitative and qualitative components. We analysed questionnaires with information on the different stages of the care pathways used by parents of children up to five years who were hospitalised for severe malaria from three hospitals in Cotonou (n=58). We carried out semi-structured interviews to better understand the parents’ approaches to care (n=10).&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;ETHICS&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;This study was given a favourable opinion by the National Committee of Ethics for Health Research, Ministry of Health, Republic of Benin (Opinion No. 50 dated 25 October 2017).&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;RESULTS&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;The mean age of the children was 33 months and of the accompanying parent was 35 years. The average time from first symptom to hospitalisation was 6 days (min2-max15). Almost all parents (95%) first carried out self-medication, mainly with paracetamol, sometimes associated with herbal teas. Faced with a deterioration in the child’s health, 80% of families then attended a health centre. In many cases, further delays to seeking care at hospitals was due to a poor communication between healthcare professionals and parents and the difficulty of raising the money needed for treatment. Families visited up to three different health centres successively before going to hospital. Going to hospital represents a “catastrophic expense” for the household. Parents must find the necessary funds, and in some cases take out a loan, thus delaying treatment. On arrival at the hospital, the child’s health is seriously deteriorated, explaining the high case-fatality rate of more than 30% in intensive care units.&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;CONCLUSION&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;In this study, the cost of care, particularly hospital-based care, is the primary cause of delayed access to appropriate treatment. WHO and the Global Fund propose a malaria control strategy based on prevention (mosquito nets) and early intervention. No provision is made for severe malaria. To reduce child mortality from malaria, it is essential that a third component is added to this strategy, namely the provision of free care for children diagnosed with severe malaria.&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;CONFLICTS OF INTEREST&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;None declared.&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;******&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;INTRODUCTION&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;Entre 2000 et 2015, la mortalité d’ensemble due au paludisme a baissé de moitié, mais, depuis 2015, les taux de mortalité stagnent, voir remontent dans certains pays africains. Une des raisons invoquées face à l’augmentation de la mortalité infantile est que les parents ont d’abord recours à l’automédication avant de consulter. Toutefois, la réalité pourrait être plus complexe. Pour expliquer ce retard de prise en charge adaptée et essayer de proposer de nouvelles stratégies, nous avons enquêté sur l’itinéraire thérapeutique suivi par des familles, des premiers symptômes jusqu’à l’admission de l’enfant à l’hôpital pour paludisme grave&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;METHODE&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;Notre enquête combine une double approche, quantitative et qualitative. Nous avons recueilli 58 questionnaires détaillés sur les différentes étapes de recours aux soins auprès de parents d’enfants jusqu’à l’âge de 5 ans hospitalisés pour paludisme grave dans 3 hôpitaux de Cotonou et réalisé 10 entretiens semi-dirigés afin de mieux comprendre les logiques de soins suivies par les parents.&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;ETHIQUE&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;Cette enquête a reçu un avis éthique favorable du comité National d’éthique pour la Recherche en Santé, Ministère de la Santé, République du Bénin (avis n°50 du 25 octobre 2017)&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;RESULTATS&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;L’âge moyen des enfants était de 33 mois (IC 29-37) et l’âge du parent accompagnateur de 35 ans (IC 32-37). Le délai moyen entre le premier symptôme et l’hospitalisation était de 6 jours (min2-max15). La quasi-totalité (95%) des parents ont pratiqué l’automédication en première intention avec principalement du paracétamol, parfois associé à des tisanes. Devant l’aggravation de l’état de l’enfant, 80% des familles ont d’abord consulté dans un centre de santé. Très souvent, le manque de communication entre soignants et soignés et la difficulté de réunir l’argent nécessaire aux soins ont retardé une prise en charge correcte. Il y a eu jusqu’à 3 visites successives dans différents centres de santé avant l’arrivée à l’hôpital. Mais aller à l’hôpital représente une “dépense catastrophique” pour le foyer. Les parents doivent alors trouver les ressources financières, voire faire un emprunt, ce qui retarde la prise en charge. A l’arrivée à l’hôpital, la santé de l’enfant est très dégradée ce qui explique le fort taux de létalité qui dépasse les 30% dans les services de réanimation.&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;CONCLUSION&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;L’étude montre clairement que le coût des soins, notamment à l’hôpital, est la première cause d’un accès tardif à des soins adaptés. L’OMS et le Fond Mondial proposent une stratégie de lutte basée sur la prévention (moustiquaire) ou la prise en charge précoce des cas. Rien n’est prévu en cas de paludisme grave. Pour baisser la mortalité infantile due au paludisme, il est urgent de prévoir un troisième volet à la lutte en instaurant une prise en charge gratuite des enfants diagnostiqués avec un paludisme grave.&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;CONFLITS D'INTERET&#60;/p&#62;&#60;p&#62;Aucun&#60;/p&#62;

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Premature birth is most often challenge with many health issues such as low birth weight. Kangaroo position is the practice of skin-to-skin contact between an infant and parents and was found to be an effective intervention for improving weight gain in premature infant. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of kangaroo mother care to elevate infant weight in premature infants. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-analysis and systematic review. This study collected published articles from PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. The inclusion criteria were full text, in English language, and using randomized control trial study design. The study population was premature infants. The intervention was kangaroo mother care. The comparison was conventional care. The outcome was infant weight. The selected articles were analyzed using RevMan 5.3. Results: 9 articles were met the study criteria. This study had high heterogeneity between groups (I2= 89%; p<0.001). Kangaroo mother care was higher elevated infant weight than conventional method (Standardized Mean Difference= 0.60; 95% CI= 0.17 to 1.03; p= 0.006). Conclusion: Kangaroo mother care is effective to elevate infant weight in premature infants. Keywords: Kangaroo mother care, infant weight, preterm infant Correspondence: Ines Ratni Pravitasari.

Full text
Abstract:
Infant formula is a breastmilk substitute fed to babies when mums are unable or do not want to breastfeed. In the UK, almost three quarters of babies will have consumed infant formula by six weeks of age, and almost all will have by six months (McAndrew et al., 2012). Formula fed babies are at greater risk of gastrointestinal infections than breastfed babies because breastfeeding is protective against infections as it helps babies’ immune systems develop, and because bottles of formula are at risk of bacterial contamination. Bacterial contamination is thought to occur in two ways; first, powdered infant formula (PIF) is not sterile and can contain harmful bacteria, including Salmonella and Cronobacter if not prepared properly (Crawley, Westland & Sibson, 2022), and second, bottles and teats are vulnerable to contamination during preparation (Redmond et al., 2009; Cho et al., 2019). It is estimated that in the UK over 3,000 babies end up in hospital each year, and a further 10,000 are reviewed by GPs, due to gastrointestinal infections which may be attributed to formula feeding (Renfrew et al., 2012). NHS (2019) guidance states that PIF must be mixed with water at a temperature of 70o Celsius (oC) or greater, to kill any bacteria which may be present in the PIF. The use of boiled water from a kettle cooled to at least 70oC is recommended, which is then mixed with the PIF before allowing it to cool further before feeding. This should be repeated every time a bottle is needed to ensure the formula is safe. Bacteria can survive and multiply in formula, even if it is stored in a fridge. NHS guidance also contains steps to minimise contamination of baby feeding equipment, including washing hands, disinfecting preparation surfaces, and washing and sterilising all baby feeding equipment. However, research shows many parents do not carry out all these steps, and a third of parents do not feel confident about preparing PIF (Brown, Jones and Evans, 2020). Furthermore, there has been an increase in UK parents using formula preparation machines and their efficacy has not yet been sufficiently investigated.

Abstract:
This project aims to appraise evidence of the effectiveness of various practices on reducing stress, anxiety, and depression among parents of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The project contains six research articles from both national and international journals. Study designs include one meta-analysis, one randomized controlled trial, one small scale randomized controlled trial, one prospective phase lag cohort study, on pretest-posttest study, and one mixed-methods pretest-posttest study. Recommendations for effective interventions were based on best evidence discovered through quality appraisal and study outcomes. All interventions, except for educational programs and Kangaroo Care, resulted in a statistically significant reduction of either stress, anxiety, and/ or depression. Family centered care and mindfulness-based intervention reduced all barriers of interest. There is strong and high-quality evidence for the effect of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on depression, moderate evidence for the effect of activity-based group therapy on anxiety, and promising evidence for the effect of HUG Your Baby on stress.

Abstract:
We study the socio-economic gradient of child development on a representative sample of low- and middle-income children aged 6-42 months in Bogota, using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, a high quality test based on direct observation of the child's abilities. We find a statistically significant difference between children in the 90th and 10th percentile of the wealth distribution in our sample of 0.33 standard deviations (SD) in cognition, 0.29 SD in receptive language and 0.38 SD in expressive language at 14 months. The socio-economic gap increases substantially with age to 1 SD (cognition), 0.80 SD (receptive language) and 0.69 SD (expressivelanguage) by 42 months. While the gap persists after controlling for mediating factors such as parental and biomedical characteristics, the level of stimulation in the home, and the quality of the institutional care setting; its size is significantly reduced by variables related to the home environment i.e. parental investments in care quantity and quality. These findings have important implications for the design of well-targeted, effective and timely interventions that promote early childhood development.

A survey of Salmonella, Escherichia coli (E. coli) and antimicrobial resistance in frozen, part-cooked, breaded or battered poultry products on retail sale in the United Kingdom. Food Standards Agency, May 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.46756/sci.fsa.xvu389.

Full text
Abstract:
Frozen, breaded, ready-to-cook chicken products have been implicated in outbreaks of salmonellosis. Some of these outbreaks can be large. For example, one outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis involved 193 people in nine countries between 2018 and 2020, of which 122 cases were in the UK. These ready-to-cook products have a browned, cooked external appearance, which may be perceived as ready-to-eat, leading to mishandling or undercooking by consumers. Continuing concerns about these products led FSA to initiate a short-term (four month), cross-sectional surveillance study undertaken in 2021 to determine the prevalence of Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in frozen, breaded or battered chicken products on retail sale in the UK. This study sought to obtain data on AMR levels in Salmonella and E. coli in these products, in line with a number of other FSA instigated studies of the incidence and nature of AMR in the UK food chain, for example, the systematic review (2016). Between the beginning of April and the end of July 2021, 310 samples of frozen, breaded or battered chicken products containing either raw or partly cooked chicken, were collected using representative sampling of retailers in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland based on market share data. Samples included domestically produced and imported chicken products and were tested for E. coli (including extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing, colistin-resistant and carbapenem-resistant E. coli) and Salmonella spp. One isolate of each bacterial type from each contaminated sample was randomly selected for additional AMR testing to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for a range of antimicrobials. More detailed analysis based on Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) data was used to further characterise Salmonella spp. isolates and allow the identification of potential links with human isolates. Salmonella spp. were detected in 5 (1.6%) of the 310 samples and identified as Salmonella Infantis (in three samples) and S. Java (in two samples). One of the S. Infantis isolates fell into the same genetic cluster as S. Infantis isolates from three recent human cases of infection; the second fell into another cluster containing two recent cases of infection. Countries of origin recorded on the packaging of the five Salmonella contaminated samples were Hungary (n=1), Ireland (n=2) and the UK (n=2). One S. Infantis isolate was multi-drug resistant (i.e. resistant to three different classes of antimicrobials), while the other Salmonella isolates were each resistant to at least one of the classes of antimicrobials tested. E. coli was detected in 113 samples (36.4%), with counts ranging from <3 to >1100 MPN (Most Probable Number)/g. Almost half of the E. coli isolates (44.5%) were susceptible to all antimicrobials tested. Multi-drug resistance was detected in 20.0% of E. coli isolates. E. coli isolates demonstrating the ESBL (but not AmpC) phenotype were detected in 15 of the 310 samples (4.8%) and the AmpC phenotype alone was detected in two of the 310 samples (0.6%) of chicken samples. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing showed that five of the 15 (33.3%) ESBL-producing E. coli carried blaCTX-M genes (CTX-M-1, CTX-M-55 or CTX-M-15), which confer resistance to third generation cephalosporin antimicrobials. One E. coli isolate demonstrated resistance to colistin and was found to possess the mcr-1 gene. The five Salmonella-positive samples recovered from this study, and 20 similar Salmonella-positive samples from a previous UKHSA (2020/2021) study (which had been stored frozen), were subjected to the cooking procedures described on the sample product packaging for fan assisted ovens. No Salmonella were detected in any of these 25 samples after cooking. The current survey provides evidence of the presence of Salmonella in frozen, breaded and battered chicken products in the UK food chain, although at a considerably lower incidence than reported in an earlier (2020/2021) study carried out by PHE/UKHSA as part of an outbreak investigation where Salmonella prevalence was found to be 8.8%. The current survey also provides data on the prevalence of specified AMR bacteria found in the tested chicken products on retail sale in the UK. It will contribute to monitoring trends in AMR prevalence over time within the UK, support comparisons with data from other countries, and provide a baseline against which to monitor the impact of future interventions. While AMR activity was observed in some of the E. coli and Salmonella spp. examined in this study, the risk of acquiring AMR bacteria from consumption of these processed chicken products is low if the products are cooked thoroughly and handled hygienically.

Abstract:
La violencia es un obstáculo para el desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe y una de las principales preocupaciones de su población. Los jóvenes son las principales víctimas y victimarios. Este estudio contribuye a expandir el conocimiento sobre la transmisión intergeneracional de la violencia intrafamiliar, considerada como una de las posibles causas del crimen y la violencia juvenil. En el estudio se establece la importancia de la transmisión de violencia intrafamiliar de padres/madres a hijos/as e incluso de abuelos/as a nietos/as como un factor de riesgo del desarrollo de comportamientos violentos a futuro. El análisis parte de los datos de la Encuesta de Movilidad Social de los Jóvenes en la Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México 2017. La violencia intrafamiliar se midió construyendo tres variables: violencia observada, sufrida y ejercida, cuantificándolas de las respuestas de encuestas a padres e hijos para medir la violencia a la que estuvieron expuestas ambas generaciones. Los resultados revelan que las asociaciones de la transmisión intergeneracional de la violencia intrafamiliar sobreviven a controles por violencia geográfica; existe una relación positiva entre la violencia juvenil y haber crecido en un hogar donde había violencia intrafamiliar reflejada en violencia de pareja, maltrato infantil y actitudes que favorecen la violencia; y la probabilidad de ejercer violencia contra la pareja es mayor de mujer a hombre. El estudio concluye que las políticas públicas para prevenir y atender la violencia intrafamiliar deben considerar servicios de prevención social de la violencia atendiendo a todos integrantes de la familia con antecedentes criminales y conductas de violencia intrafamiliar con programas específicos y adecuados según su perfil de riesgo.

Abstract:
This report evaluates the two-year Community Health Worker (CHW) service in Scotland delivered by a third sector organisation, Minority Ethnic Carers of People Project (MECOPP), which provided training to Gypsy/Travellers to advocate for their community on health and social care issues. The service, which was created as part of the Scottish Government and COSLA's joint action plan to address inequalities faced by Gypsy/Travellers , was designed with the intention to improve their health and wellbeing. Funding for the service was secured by The Scottish Public Health Network and the Directorate for Chief Medical Officer. The evaluation was conducted by the Mother and Infant Research Unit (MIRU) at the School of Health Sciences, University of Dundee, and covered the initial two-year period from August 2021 to August 2023. There has been extensive evidence showing that Gypsy/Travellers residing in the UK tend to face significant health disparities, resulting in outcomes that are not as favourable as those of the general population and other similarly disadvantaged groups. Gypsy/Travellers face high rates of homelessness, inadequate education, unemployment, poverty, and regular experiences of racism and discrimination . This profoundly affects their mental health and overall well-being. Additionally, the potential for lack of trust between Gypsy/Travellers and healthcare professionals impacts health seeking behaviour and health service provision, as there are also barriers in accessing responsive health services and preventative care interventions. Evidence indicates that community-based lay roles can improve healthcare access, reduce costs, and promote knowledge exchange between communities and health services through trusted individuals . This project aimed to evaluate the implementation of the Gypsy/Traveller CHW service, including barriers and facilitators, and make recommendations for its future scale-up. Objectives included describing the roles and activities of the CHWs, exploring the acceptability and feasibility of the service, identifying implementation barriers and facilitators, describing any modifications made, and examining the perceived benefits and disadvantages of the CHW service.
