Abstract:

Background: Childhood road traffic injuries (RTIs) are a major public health problem internationally; little research has been conducted on preventing childhood RTIs in Bangladesh. Aim and Objectives: Aim: to develop a pilot intervention to reduce childhood RTIs in rural Bangladesh. Objectives - to: • determine the epidemiology of and risk factors for childhood RTIs • explore community perceptions of childhood RTIs and their prevention • develop a pilot package of preventive interventions and evaluate the package to assess its feasibility and acceptability Methods: Five studies were conducted using mixed methods. Study A examined the epidemiology of childhood RTIs using three data sources. Study B explored community perceptions through focus groups. Study C (school survey) investigated exposure to the road environment. A pilot intervention developed and implemented (study D), was evaluated for its feasibility and acceptability in rural communities (study E). Results: Studies A-C showed that RTIs are a growing problem, especially for rural child pedestrians. The rate of childhood RTIs mortality was three times higher in rural than urban areas (9.1 versus 2.7 per 100,000 children years). Pedestrians (42%) were the main victims in rural areas, with children aged 5-9 particularly vulnerable. Seven focus groups were conducted which provided insights into the causes of RTIs, e.g. Problems finding safe places to cross, poor supervision. The school survey showed that children lacked knowledge and skills about road crossing. Risk factors included gender, age, accompanying person, and travel mode. The “Safe Child Pedestrian” pilot programme was developed and implemented in six schools, 36 school children aged 7-9 years were trained at the roadside by volunteers. The programme was feasible and acceptable for rural communities. Conclusion: The expansion of Bangladesh’s rural road network continues, with child pedestrian injuries increasing. Practical child pedestrian training is an initial step in engaging communities to reduce RTIs. Achievement: This is the first attempt to explore the situation of childhood RTIs in rural Bangladesh and develop, implement and evaluate a programme for child pedestrians.

Abstract:

Most of us can empathise with feeling stressed. Each of us has our own unique interpretation of what stress is and our own understanding of what stress feels like. We each feel stress from a variety of sources and for a variety of reasons. We all have different coping strategies, which may or may not be effective. It is likely we learned our coping strategies in childhood; children who cope successfully with stress are likely to become adults who cope with stress successfully. Stress is not necessarily a 'bad thing': it can have many positive benefits. But too much stress, or coping ineffectively with repeated stress over long periods of time can have harmful effects on physical and psychological well being. This research investigates stress in school children, focusing specifically on school stress and everyday stressors inherent in schooling. It lets the pupils taking part in the research define their own stress and set the agenda for the research. How the pupils define their stress, their assessment of what is stressful for them in their life at school and how it makes them feel are all accepted unconditionally, and I have endeavoured to be non-judgemental in processing the information about stress disclosed to me by these pupils. The research was conducted over a two year period (1993-1994), at the eleven to sixteen comprehensive school where the author is employed. The data were collected by means of questionnaire, semi-structured interview and pupils' own personal writing and 'stress diaries'. After piloting, the first questionnaire was issued in January 1993 to one hundred and eighty volunteers in every form and every year group in the school (six questionnaires to each of the thirty tutor groups in the school). Of these questionnaires, 167 were returned (92.8%). The questionnaire asked respondents who would be prepared to be interviewed at a later stage, to identify themselves. Forty-five pupils volunteered. From these volunteers I selected pupils who had indicated that they had experienced feeling stress at school at some time on their questionnaire. I tried to keep a balance between males and females wherever possible, and to choose volunteers from across the age range. There were ten male and eleven female interviewees in the final selection one male and one female from year seven; one male and two females from year eight; two males and two females from year nine; and three males and three females from years ten and eleven respectively. The process was repeated again in 1994. Of the one hundred and eighty questionnaires issued in 1994, one hundred and forty three were returned (79%). Possible explanations for the difference in the number of questionnaires returned are discussed in Chapter 6. The same volunteers were interviewed in 1994 as in 1993, with the addition of two new volunteers, one male and one female, from year seven. The questionnaires and interviews were issued and conducted during the same time periods in both years. This was deliberately done to maintain consistency, to confirm the data collected in 1993 and to highlight any periods during the school year when pupils reported feeling more stress than at other times. This was successful as much of the data collected in 1994 does confirm the findings of 1993, and helps to build up a remarkably consistent picture of how pupils perceive stress at school. Originally, the author had planned to repeat the research method for a third year, but it was felt unnecessary to do this due to the corroborative nature of the data already collected. I have presented the results of each year separately rather than amalgamated the two sets of data, not only to emphasise this correlation but also because I wished to present as detailed a picture as possible of the stressful aspects of school life as perceived by the pupils, and although much of it is similar, none of it is the same. Each pupil has offered their own unique interpretation of the stressful school experiences he/she has encountered, and I felt it was important to include them all as equally important and valid in order to preserve the aims and integrity of the research. It would be impossible to amalgamate the data without trivialising the disparity of the experiences being disclosed to me. The main findings of this research suggest that there is a diverse, but ultimately exhaustive, range of school experiences pupils describe as being stressful for them. Most of these experiences can be categorised into domains relating to stressors which are curriculum generated; stressors which are the result of conflict in relationships with peers, teachers and/or family members; everyday life stressors not necessarily associated directly with school and a range of individually unique ‘one off’ stressors ...

Abstract:

Unique stressors can prompt child adjustment difficulties. Coping strategies and emotion regulation that impact the adjustment of children in general and military family children were investigated. Eighty children, 36 with deployed parents, their parents and teachers participated. All experienced stress related to hurricane Katrina. Correlational analyses indicate that children with more hurricane-related losses or moves, use some coping strategies less often; hurricane-related child distress is related to lower maternal support; and parental hurricane-related distress is associated with high levels of child externalizing problems. When dealing with general stressors, some coping strategies were positively associated with child internalizing problems. Analyses indicate that children with high emotion regulation and use of certain coping strategies experienced less externalizing problems, and children with deployed parents were not more emotionally dysregulated or maladjusted than children with non-deployed parents. Analyses did not confirm the hypothesized roles of parental support. Gender differences are also discussed.

Abstract:

The majority of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) have feeding difficulties, which result in chronic malnutrition and respiratory disease, reducing quality of life for caregiver and child, and causing early child mortality. In well-resourced countries, high and low-tech medical interventions, ranging from gastrostomy tube-feeding to parent training, are available. In Bangladesh the former is not viable and the latter is both scarce and its effectiveness not evaluated. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a training programme to improve the feeding practices of carers of children with CP, observing the impact on level of nutritional intake, risk of aspiration and distress caused to both during feeding. Thirty-seven caregivers and their children aged 1-11 with moderate-severe CP and feeding difficulties were invited to a six-session training programme. Pre and post measures (quantitative and qualitative) were taken during home visits in addition to giving brief advice. A control phase was evaluated for 12 of the participant pairs whilst awaiting training. A minimum of four training sessions was successful in significantly improving children’s nutritional intake and chest health, maximising independence in feeding, improving the experience of mealtimes for both child and caregiver, decreasing caregiver stress regarding their child’s feeding difficulties and improving child levels of cooperation. Catch-up growth was observed in 26% of the children. A significant difference in the outcomes between advice only and groups was observed. In conclusion, carers in Bangladesh, who have minimal formal education and live in abject poverty are able to change care-giving practices significantly after four training sessions, with positive consequences for both child and caregiver. Methods of providing affordable food supplementation need to be investigated and further steps must to be taken to lobby policy-makers in order to ensure that services have the motivation and capacity to address this area of need.

Abstract:

This thesis assessed the mental health impacts of flooding and explored the key determinants of flood-related mental illness in the coastal region of Bangladesh. This study found significant increase in the prevalence of mental illness after flooding. Flood-exposure and socio-economic factors were significantly associated with post-flood mental illness. These findings may help the policy-makers to improve the early intervention and screening programs and may also have significant public health implications in the control and prevention of flood-related mental illness in Bangladesh.

Abstract:

The right to participate and express a view is an intrinsic right afforded to all human beings, regardless of age (Lundy, 2007). Explicitly, Articles 12, 13, 14 and 15 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) grant participatory rights to children and young people in decision-making. One of the forms of participation academics and practitioners have studied over the past decades, the engagement of children and young people in participatory processes, is moving away from the understanding of children as passive recipients of research to active participants. However, literature has paid scant attention to research led directly by children and young people (Thomas, 2015). Child-led research is understood, as starting definition from literature, as an approach in which children and young people are involved in all stages - from planning, fieldwork and analysis to dissemination. The aim of this research is to critically explore how the process and outcomes of children and young people's participation in their own child-led research contributes, positively or negatively, to decision-making processes in the context of international development programmes. The research questions are: Question 1: What are children and young people's motivations for, expectations of and experiences with engaging in their own child-led research as a way to influence decision-making? Question 2: What are the processes of child-led research that positively or negatively influence decision-making? Question 3: In what ways does child-led research influence decision-making? (And why and how do they do so?) This research project used a case study approach to examine two cases where children and young people claimed they conducted child-led research. The first, Bekaa and Irbid, investigated the research conducted by a group of children and young people on issues relevant to their situations as refugees in the host countries of Lebanon and Jordan. The second, Dhaka, reviewed child-led research focused on the lack of birth certificates issued for Bangladeshi children and the possible effects of not having this legal registration. A group of children and young people who are members of a Children's Parliament in Dhaka led this project. The research participants for this project are defined as (1) the children and young people, aged 12 to 18 (when I interviewed them), who are associated with World Vision programmes and engaged in the child-led research projects within their constituencies in the Irbid and Bekaa and Dhaka case studies and (2) the adult professionals who acted as facilitators of child-led research projects and those who worked in the design of these projects or dissemination of their findings. These participants were those who were best suited to provide the information needed as they were fully involved in the child-led research projects and had in-depth knowledge to contribute answers to the research questions. This project adopted several methods for data collection, including focus groups, semi-structured interviews, observations and documentary review. The study followed ethical research guidelines to ensure the safety, rights, dignity and well-being of both the children and young people and adult participants (Morrow, 2009). The research took into account the special considerations required to gain informed consent, ensure confidentiality and anonymity, acknowledge the cultures of the research sites, and refrain from presenting information that may potentially harm participants (Marshall and Rossman, 2006). The findings of the study show that the child-led research approach is considered an adequate participatory approach that creates spaces for children and young people to engage in their own research and influence change based on their findings. Thus, this approach enabled participants to gather together and pursue collectively a research project in which they were able to explore issues about their lives using research methodologies that were appropriate to their experiences, abilities and expertise. This conversion, however, highlights a variety of tensions around the understanding and legitimacy of child-led research. Findings from this study supports the view that child-led research generates empirically grounded knowledge, which produced through data collection and personal experiences of the young researches and its analysis as a whole. Findings also reveal that the young researchers' motivations and expectations were to make an impact on their own lives, as well as the lives of their peers and change a situation that they perceived as unfair. Findings show that the adult facilitators played an important role in facilitating the young researchers but not managing them. However, this study evidenced some tensions between participation and protection rights. The study found manifestations of power amongst the children and young people during the child-led research projects, which were based on age, gender, religion, language and ethnicity. This confirms children and young people can replicate power relations within their participatory projects, which are deeply embedded in their traditions and cultures. Findings show that child-led research has different levels of impact; on decision-making and in the individual lives of the young researchers. This is connected to the contexts where children and young people conducted their research, which was conducive in one case study and more challenging in the other case. Overall, the findings of this study contribute to the body of literature that challenges the dominant conceptualisation that children and young people are unable to conduct their own research. Instead, the findings of this research project contribute to the study of children and young people's participation by providing different perspectives on the debate around the children and young people's abilities and motivations to engage in their own child-led research projects. The findings contribute to knowledge about the nature of child-led research as an approach that supports children and young people in their struggle to participate in society. These findings contribute to the substantial gap of understanding about what is knowledge and expertise by exploring the ways in which children and young people conduct their own research and create knowledge with the aim of making a change in society. Specifically, the findings provide empirical evidence of the impact that their work has had on policy and practice and their personal lives.

Abstract:

The 1980s mark the beginning of systematic research and theoretical advances in the field of psychic trauma in children. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was a diagnosis for adults in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-III (American Psychiatric Association, 1980). In a later version, children and adolescents were partially included (American Psychiatric Association, 1987). Since 1980, a range of traumatic events have been identified as having the required stressor characteristics for posttraumatic stress reactions to manifest in children and adolescents.

In this study, the role of the stressor and peritraumatic reactions in PTSD of children and adolescents was studied. In addition, co-existing factors were assessed and related to the development and maintenance of PTSD reactions. A cascade of distressing events described the stressor in children who reported sexual abuse in daycare (paper I), and single-incident events were studied in adolescents (paper III). Subjective reactions during or immediately after the traumatic event, such as intense emotions, physiological arousal, dissociation and having thoughts of intervening, were strongly associated to the subsequent development of PTSD reactions in adolescents. The findings indicate that subjective responses to traumatic events play an important role in PTSD etiology. Objective features of the stressor, such as death or physical injury did not relate significantly to the levels of posttraumatic stress reactions. Half the children exposed to the cascade stressor in the case of alleged child sexual abuse, showed significant levels of PTSD reactions four years later. The objective features of the cascade stressor depended on the reported severity of child sexual abuse as well as media exposure, medical examinations, forensic interviews and the court trial. Children with high levels of PTSD reactions reported more severe CSA and were also more exposed to the media and the court trial, but the tendency was not significant.

Moreover, co-existing factors not related to the traumatic event may play important roles in the development and maintenance of PTSD reactions. After alleged sexual abuse and subsequent distressing events, older children displayed more PTSD reactions than younger children, which may indicate that younger children were more protected from developing distress in this situation. On the other hand, five weeks after a tram car accident, age was negatively associated with the levels of PTSD reactions in a group of children (paper IV). The findings may be due to the diverse nature of the stressors and methodological issues.

Other co-existing factors to PTSD, such as behavior problems in children and adolescents, may represent considerable difficulties in a young person’s life. In the current study, children displayed significant levels of behavioral problems four years after alleged sexual abuse.

The impact on parents and the rest of the child’s family cannot be ignored in the assessment of posttraumatic stress reactions of children and adolescents. In this study, comprehensive assessments were made of the parents’ experiences and levels of distress after alleged sexual abuse of their children. The parents were exposed to a cascade of events, including hearing about the sexual abuse, being involved in the police investigation and the court trial and being exposed in media reports. Four years after the events, elements of the stressor were significantly associated to the level of posttraumatic stress reactions. The findings illustrate how child sexual abuse reports may involve the children’s parents and expose them to high levels of distress over a long period of time.

In addition, interactions in the family may contribute in the development and maintenance of posttraumatic stress reactions in children and adolescents, and impede the healing processes.

After traumatic events in childhood, researchers tend to prefer parental reports of the children’s reactions to spare the children. In this study, children reported significantly higher levels of distress than observed by their parents after a tram car accident (paper IV). These findings indicate that parents unintentionally may bring in a response bias in their reports, which future research and clinical practice should take into account.

The study illustrates that traumatic events are complex experiences involving cognitive and emotional reactions, physiological arousal and dissociation, and that these reactions may induce posttraumatic stress reactions in children and adolescents. The cascade stressor subsequent to alleged sexual abuse of children showed how different elements of the stressor may lead to distress over a long period of time. The distress involved both children and parents in this study.

Abstract:

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder which develops following a traumatic event. PTSD is characterised by symptoms including nightmares, flashbacks, irritability and sleeping difficulties, amongst a range of other symptoms as described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Recent changes made to the diagnostic criteria for PTSD in the DSM-5 (2013) now consider hearing about a traumatic event as being directly traumatising for individuals, and further considers developmental factors in children when assessing for PTSD (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). It is recognised that both adults and children can develop posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) following a range of traumatic events. Research assessing parent and child reactions when children have experienced physical illness indicates that both parents and children experience PTSS (Santacroce, 2002; Fuemmeler, Mullins & Marx, 2001; Fuemmeler, Mullins, Van Pelt, Carpentier & Parkhurst, 2005). Parent and child PTSS following accidental traumatic injury to a child, however, is less well understood. The systematic review in chapter one of this thesis, aims to synthesise the current literature in the area of PTSS in parents and children, following accidental injury to the child. The background to the development of this synthesis is presented. This review was produced in order to gain an understanding of, and to synthesise, current research findings, and to identify whether parent PTSS is associated with the development of child PTSS. The results of the systematic review highlight gaps in knowledge, and a significant lack of qualitative research in this area. There is limited understanding of parents‟ experiences of their physically-injured child being returned home into an environment where parents may potentially be traumatised. Parents‟ PTSS can have a negative impact on child coping and the development of child PTSS following their physical injury (Ostrowski, Christopher & Delahanty, 2007; Nugent, Ostrowski, Christopher & Delahanty, 2007). It is vital to understand and address, parents‟ responses to traumatic events, which may be associated with children‟s responses. The empirical paper presented in chapter two of this thesis therefore aims to assess the frequency of parent PTS responses following their child‟s accidental traumatic injury, to add to the current evidence base. Given the limited understanding of parents‟ experiences of these events within the literature, the current study also explores parents‟ experiences of their child returning home after presenting with relatively high levels of PTSS when their child was in hospital. It is important to understand parents‟ experiences of these events in order for clinicians to know how to best support families, and to minimise PTS reactions. The empirical paper presents background research leading to the rationale of the current study, and the methods selected to address the aims and objectives of the research. Results are presented followed by a discussion, including clinical implications and areas for future research.

Abstract:

Residential childcare has had an image which, at the very least, is not a positive one. It has been blamed for weakening family links and leading to poor educational and health outcomes for children (Biehal et al. 1995; Mendes and Moslehuddin 2004; Stein 2002). However, children and young people enter residential care institutions for a variety of reasons, and by examining the experiences of children and young people in Bangladesh, we can see that residential childcare has the potential to offer a positive option for many disadvantaged children and young people. UNICEF estimates that there are more than 49,000 children in residential care in Bangladesh (UNICEF 2008), but this figure fails to include thousands of children who live in madrasahs. There is neither a uniform childcare policy nor formal aftercare support provision in Bangladesh; instead, the government, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and madrasahs all have their own approaches and methods and there has been no research conducted on young people in and after care. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of residential care from the perspectives of a group of young people who had lived in residential childcare institutions in Bangladesh with a view to making improvements in residential childcare in the future. Qualitative methods were employed for data collection, using in-depth semi-structured interviews with 33 young people (aged between 12 and 26) who had left the care system and observation of the four institutions where they had lived: one run by an NGO, two run by the government and one madrasah run by the religious community. All of the fieldwork was conducted and transcribed in Bangla. The findings of this study show that young people had mixed feelings about their lives in care, preparation for leaving care, and aftercare support; moreover, their experiences were diverse. Overall, most said that they had benefited from being in care and the institution had had a largely positive impact on their lives. However, the experience for those who had been evicted was much less favourable; these young people suffered a range of hardships after leaving care. The findings also show that there was a connection between the in-care experience and the success of a young person in the outside world. The type of institution, its culture, systems and practices, the amount of care received and socio-cultural-religious influences all played a part. The research further indicated that although some young people developed a measure of resilience to face the problems of their everyday lives, they were not fully able to overcome them due to societal discrimination. Those who did best where those who had developed positive attachments with at least one trusted adult, who acted as a mentor and strengthened their commitment and self-motivation. The findings demonstrate that aftercare support varied from institution to institution, but overall, was informal in nature. The study concludes by setting out implications for building better residential childcare policy and practice in Bangladesh. It identifies a number of avenues for further research, suggesting that lessons for the minority world may be learned from this study, namely the notion that the whole community should take responsibility for its children; and attention should be paid to faith and religious beliefs in children’s upbringing. The study has also demonstrated that improving financial resources may not necessarily lead to better outcomes from children and young people. Instead, building relationships with adults, peer groups, parents, and community offer the best chance for good outcomes.

Abstract

This paper is about children and stress. Stress among children is a serious problem and to be aware of that as a preschool teacher is very important. I’ve focused on the youngest children

in preschool. I’ve searched for information in litterateur and articles. To fins literature is not a problem because it is a lot written about this subject. I did two interviews with three preschool teachers. All my sources agree that stress among children is a problem that we must try to work against.

There are two kinds of stress, one is positive and the other one is negative. Everyone needs positive stress in their lives, but we don’t need negative stress. Negative stress is when you have so much pressure on you that can’t match your capacity and when that happens you experience negative stress.

I have found out in my research that stress exists among children in preschool. Everyone express stress differently because we all have different stress patience, which makes it hard to tell when children experience stress. There are simple things that preschool teachers can do to reduce stress. It is important that the teachers aren’t stressed because that makes the children stressed too. The easiest thing preschool teachers can do is to take it calm with the children so they don’t have to feel stressed.

The aim with this paper is to develop knowledge about children and stress in kindergarten, how they express stress and what preschool teachers can do to work against it.

Abstract:

This thesis attempts to integrate the divorce outcome data concerning children within the stress and coping mechanisms paradigm. The effects of divorce on children are reviewed, as are the major constructs of stress-coping theory. A study is conducted to demonstrate the empirical utility of the theoretical integration of the two domains. The coping resources, styles and efforts of 71 elementary school children from divorced and intact homes were investigated. Data analyses demonstrated that children from divorced homes had lower levels of psychological coping resources, and less effective coping styles and efforts, thus sustaining the theoretical integration. Other significant results revealed developmental trends for some aspects of coping resources and coping styles, and correlations between coping resources and efforts, thereby supporting important conceptualizations in stress-coping theory. Speculations concerning the long-term effects of divorce, differential effects of divorce on boys and girls and recommendations for future investigations are made.

Abstract:

Parental divorce has not only been associated with negative long-term effects for children of divorce (CD), but also for adult children of divorce (ACD). ACD more often have poorer mental well-being than adult children of marriage (ACM). Neurological research further suggests that ACD have lower baseline levels of the “stress hormone” cortisol. However, research of Swedish ACD is extremely sparsely. Therefore, the study’s aim is to examine the possible long-term effects of Swedish ACD. Do ACD have lower well-being and experience more stress than ACM? A sample of 227 Swedish participants (81 ACD and 146 ACM) were included. The majority (75.7%) were between 18-30 years old, 157 females and 70 males. An online survey including the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Temporal Satisfaction with Life Scale (TSWLS), and questions about the parental divorce was distributed via social media. Independent t-tests and one-way ANOVA analysis were performed to compare ACD’s and ACM’s results. The study found that ACD rated their well-being (satisfaction with the past) (p ≤ .001), and stress (p ≤ .019), significantly lower than ACM. Moreover, female ACD perceived more stress than female ACM (p ≤ .010), and male ACD (p ≤ .015). The group between 10-14-year-old at the time of the divorce rated significantly lower well-being (past) (p ≤ .035). In conclusion, the study suggests that Swedish ACD also suffer from long-term effects of divorce. Future research ought to investigate the matter further.
Skilsmässa har inte bara visat negativa långsiktiga effekter för skilsmässobarn (CD), utan också för vuxna skilsmässobarn (ACD). ACD har oftare ett sämre mentalt välbefinnande än vuxna med gifta föräldrar (ACM). Neurologisk forskning vidare påvisar att ACD också har lägre grundnivåer av ”stresshormonet” kortisol. Forskning kring svenska ACD är extremt sällsynt. Därför är det studiens mål att undersöka de möjliga långsiktiga effekterna av svenska ACD. Har ACD ett längre välbefinnande och upplever mer stress än ACM? Ett urval av 227 svenska deltagare (81 ACD och 146 ACM) var inkluderade. Majoriteten (75.7%) var mellan åldrarna 18-30 år gamla, 157 kvinnor och 70 män. En online enkät innehållandes Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Temporal Satisfaction with Life Scale (TSWLS), och frågor kring skilsmässan distribuerades via sociala medier. Independent t-tests och one-way ANOVA analyser tillämpades för att jämföra ACD:s och ACM:s resultat. Studien fann att ACD uppskattade att deras välbefinnande (tillfredställelse med det förflutna) (p ≤ .001), och stress (p ≤ .019) signifikant längre än ACM. Fortsättningsvis, en signifikant skillnad upptäcktes där kvinnliga ACD upplevde mer stress än kvinnliga ACM (p ≤ .010), och manliga ACD (p ≤ .015). Gruppen mellan åldrarna 10–14 år gamla vid skilsmässan uppgav ett signifikant längre välbefinnande (förflutet) (p ≤ .035). Sammanfattningsvis, studien påvisar att svenska skilsmässobarn också lider av långsiktiga effekter från skilsmässa. Framtida forskning bör undersöka området vidare.

Abstract:

This study used a parenting stress and coping model to identify predictors of symptomatology for 13 8 mothers of medically compromised children. This model proposed that: child characteristics (severity of the chronic illness and child related parenting stressors); parent characteristics (self-esteem, sense of competence, and parents' perceived stress/distress); and environmental characteristics (social support, general life stressor events, and demographic variables) contribute to psychological symptomatology for these mothers. Multiple regression analysis found a relationship between general life stressor events, severity of the children's chronic conditions, lower satisfaction with social support, lower self-esteem, and younger mothers' ages and greater symptomatology. Trends toward significance were found for more parenting stress and lower parenting sense of competence predicting greater symptomatology. Predicted relationships between family socioeconomic status and parenting daily hassles and symptomatology were not supported.

Abstract:

This study examined the relationship among the factors of parental stress, marital adjustment, life event stress, and behavior problems of children and whether the sources and levels of parental stress, marital adjustment, and life event stress differed among families of children with . behavior problems and families whose children did not experience behavior problems. The subjects for this study were 60 mothers and their children from the North Texas metropolitan area chosen from two populations. Group I was composed of mothers of 30 children referred to a university related counseling center for behavior problems. Group II was composed of 30 mothers of children identified as not experiencing difficulty. Each mother completed the Parenting Stress Index (PSI), Short Marital Adjustment Test (SMAT), and Social Readjustment Rating Questionnaire (SRRQ). Hotellings T tests were used to determine whether the groups differed on sources and levels of parenting stress, marital adjustment, and life event stress. The groups differed significantly on the variables of sources and levels of parenting stress but not on marital adjustment or life event stress. The multiple regression technique was used to determine which variable or combination of variables would predict group membership. Parenting stress was found to be the best predictor of group membership. Based on this study, mothers who have a child with behavior problems do have an increased level of parenting stress. This increased level of stress is related to characteristics of their child and to their own personal characteristics. Those mothers who experience increased levels of parenting stress do not experience significantly less satisfaction in their marriages nor do their children experience more stressful life events than other children.

Abstract:

Prior research shows that adult children of divorce (ACD) exhibit higher levels of perceived stress than adult children of marriage (ACM), and thus, potentially lower tolerance to stress. The comparison of ACD/ACM in Sweden has not been sufficiently studied. Hence, the present study aims to examine stress management among ACD and ACM, in terms of cognitive performance under different levels of induced stress, and how it correlates to self-ratings of stress. The final sample consisted of 101 adult participants (39 ACD and 62 ACM), and the mean age was 28 years old (41 males and 60 females). The result showed no difference in stress management between ACD and ACM, and their cognitive performance was not positively correlated with self-ratings of stress. However, ACD had a faster response time (RT) in all tests, even though this difference was not significant. At this time, ACD and ACM experience equally high levels of stress, as the Covid-19 pandemic might have influenced the outcome. Future research should collect more data of ACD in Sweden of other measurements of stress.
Tidigare forskning visar att vuxna skilsmässobarn (ACD) uppvisar högre nivåer av upplevd stress än vuxna med gifta föräldrar (ACM), och skulle därför potentiellt ha lägre stresstolerans. Jämförelsen mellan ACD/ACM i Sverige har inte blivit tillräckligt studerad. Därför har denna studie som mål att undersöka stresshantering bland ACD/ACM, i form av kognitiv prestanda under olika nivåer av inducerad stress, och hur det korrelerar till självskattningar av stress. Det slutgiltiga deltagarurvalet bestod av 101 myndiga deltagare (39 ACD och 62 ACM), varav medelåldern var 28 år, (41 män och 60 kvinnor). Resultatet visar att det inte var några signifikanta skillnader i stresshantering mellan ACD och ACM, och var inte positivt korreleradtill självskattningar av stress. Men, ACD hade en snabbare responstid (RT) i samtliga tester trots att resultatet inte var signifikant. Just nu, upplever ACD och ACM lika höga nivåer av stress, då Covid-19 pandemin kan ha influerat resultatet. Framtida forskning borde samla in mer data kring ACD i Sverige från andra mätningar av stress.

Full text

Abstract:

The production of contrastive stress was studied in normal-hearing and severely and profoundly hearing-impaired children. A picture description task was used to elicit utterances. Contrastive stress was assigned by changing one element in the second and third pictures in sets of three pictures. Stress production was assessed perceptually and acoustically. The normal-hearing and the severely hearing-impaired children were judged to have consistently stressed the element that was changed in the pictures. Some of the profoundly hearing-impaired subjects were judged to have stressed the changed element more often than chance but some did not perform above chance. Acoustic measurements indicated that only the normal-hearing speakers significantly varied both duration and fundamental frequency when stressing words while some of the hearing-impaired children varied only duration. These findings were interpreted as indicating that profoundly hearing-impaired speakers had difficulty producing recognizable contrastive stress and showed deviations in the duration and fundamental frequency of their utterances.

Full text

Abstract:

Household fuel pollution from the use of low quality biomass fuels is considered as a risk factor for respiratory tract infections (RTI) in women and children. Inhalation of fuel-derived pulmonary toxins (e.g. particulate matter (PM2.5μm) , and carbon monoxide (CO) can harm the lungs of young children, due to their under-developed immune defences. In Bangladesh acute respiratory infections (ARI) are the leading cause of child mortality (< 5 years of age). This thesis aimed to examine the relationship between RTI and household fuel pollution exposure using measured pollution data and medical diagnoses. During an 18-month longitudinal health intervention in northern Bangladesh households (n=408) were interviewed (3 times) on cooking/fuel-use practices and child health. Anthropometric data (height/weight) and finger-prick blood samples for analysis of immune status (c-reactive protein, alpha-1-acidglycoprotein (AGP) and albumin) were collected (n=321 < 5 years of age). All unwell children (62.4%) were medically examined. Household pollution levels (particulate matter (PM2.5μm) and carbon monoxide (CO) were monitored for a 24-hour period (n=61). Moderate/ severe RTI was common (24.8%) (youngest child only n=213). Poor child growth (stunted: 43.8%, underweight=66.7%, wasted: 38.4%) and immunity were detected. 98% of the households used inefficient chimneyless mud stoves and low quality biomass fuels (wood, golden, dung). The measured indoor pollution levels exceeded the WHO safety thresholds (PM2.5 μm range: 85 to 3020 μg/m³ CO range: 0-16 ppm) (PM2.5 μm>25 μm/m³, CO>9ppm). Longitudinal multivariate GLM showed that cooking practices were associated with child immune status: haemoglobin levels (F= 1.555, p=NS) were significantly associated with Bihari ethnicity and a fixed stove use (F=3.718 and F=3.716, p<0.05 respectively). Elevated log₁₀-AGP levels were found (F=4.371, p<0.05) in Saidpur in households using a fixed stove (F=4.123, F=3.780, p<0.05). The patterns in child growth z-scores were due to age only (stunting: F=7.413, p<0.01, underweight F=5.787, p<0.05). Interestingly, poorer change score for weight-for-age (F=34.893, p<0.01) was associated with low age and more frequent cooking (F=6.441 and, F=6.553, p<0.05 respectively). Logistic regression (healthy vs. RTI) identified the presence of child by the stove during cooking as the sole risk factor for RTI (absent OR= 0.257, 95% CI: 0.097 - 0.676, p<0.01). Indoor cooking and the use of a fixed stove were associated with low SES. Education may help to reduce behaviours associated with high household fuel pollution exposure via the introduction of simple healthy cooking practices.

Abstract:

This thesis explored the lived experiences of mothers caring for children with physical disability by adopting an interpretive phenomenology approach. This thesis revealed that mothers bore the brunt of domestic and caring work regardless of being home or when seeking rehabilitation treatment for their children. The intersection of gender, motherhood, disability, poverty, cultural beliefs and isolation powerfully combined, and mothers struggled to manage. However, rather than remaining fragile, without agency or hope, mothers were driven by a deep love for their children, and they emerged as brave Warriors who not only survived society’s harsh challenges but became inventive and creative.

Abstract:

Recently, researchers have begun to explore the associated impacts of ADHD on parent and family functioning, with an increasing focus on parenting stress. Accumulating empirical evidence is mixed, suggesting that parents of children with ADHD report increased levels of parenting stress when compared to parents of children with learning disabilities, and parents of non-referred children, but report equally stressful parenting levels when compared to parents of children with externalizing behavior problems. Results of the present study comparing reported parenting stress levels between parents of children with ADHD, children with internalizing behavior problems, and nonreferred children, were partially supportive of results found in past studies indicating higher levels of parenting stress among parents of children with ADHD. However, strong gender effects were found between mothers and fathers, which mediated the overall results.

Abstract:

In today's society it is not uncommon for all of us at some point to suffer from stress. There may be situations where we have a lot to do at work, in family relationships, death, illness, relationships with our friends, the pace of our surroundings, external and internal demands that we often carry with us. The children are also affected to a greater extent of stress and distress of it. The purpose of this essay was to study the awareness of teachers and recreation instructors have about the causes of stress in children. A further aim was to study the preventive work looks to counter negative stress. A qualitative study with six interviewees was used to study this subject. Which awareness has teachers and recreation instructors at three elementary schools in central Sweden on the causes of stress in children '. What is the reason that children are stressed in school? How prevent teachers and leisure educators ́ negative stress? The results showed that there was a relatively high level of awareness amongst four of the interviewees and a little less awareness of the causes among two of the interviewees. There were ideas on how to work to prevent negative stress and what actions they wanted to put in to prevent negative stress. The biggest action is to create smaller groups and thus create less stress factors for children. The conclusion is that the interviewee mention similar causes of children's stress that the research mentions. One reason could be that the children have many activities in their free time while also having to deal with school and the requirements that both bring. One solution to this problem might be to create smaller groups of children in school. Where there are opportunities for kids to be both heard and seen, which can give the effect that the children are less stressed at school and able to handle the day overall. The conclusion also shows that awareness of the causes of stress in children is still relatively high among most of the interviewees. Four of the six interviewees exhibit awareness of the causes and come up with ideas for solutions to the prevention work that causes negative stress.
I dagens samhälle är det inte ovanligt att vi alla någon gång drabbas av stress. Det kan vara i situationer där vi har mycket att göra på jobbet, i familjerelationer, dödsfall, sjukdom, i relationer med våra vänner, tempot i vår omgivning, yttre och inre krav som vi ofta bär med oss. Barnen drabbas även de i större utsträckning av stress och far illa av det. Syftet är med denna undersökning var att studera vilken medvetenhet lärare och fritidspedagoger har om orsakerna till stress hos barn. Vidare var syftet att undersöka hur det förebyggande arbetet ser ut för att motverka negativ stress. En kvalitativ intervjustudie med sex intervjupersoner användes för att besvara dessa frågeställningar, vilken medvetenhet har lärare och fritidspedagoger på tre grundskolor i Mellansverige om orsakerna till stress hos barn?. Vad är anledningen till att barn blir stressade i skolan? Hur förebygger lärare och fritidspedagoger negativ stress? Resultatet visade att det var en relativt hög medvetenhet bland fyra av de intervjuade och lite sämre medvetenhet om orsakerna bland två av de intervjuade. Det fanns idéer på hur arbete för att förebygga negativ stress skulle gå till och vilka åtgärder de ville sätta in för att förebygga negativ stress. Främst handlande det om att skapa mindre barngrupper och därmed skapa mindre stressfaktorer för barnen. I diskussionen jämfördes litteratur och resultatet av intervjuerna. Slutsatsen blev de att de intervjuade nämner liknande orsaker till barns stress som den forskningen nämner. En orsak kunde vara att barnen har många aktiviteter på fritiden samtidigt som de måste hantera skolan och de krav som båda för med sig. En lösning på detta problem kan vara att skapa mindre barngrupper i skolan. Där det ges möjligheter för barnen att både höras och synas, vilket kan ge effekten att barnen blir mindre stressade i skolan och klarar av att hantera dagen som helhet. Slutsatsen visar även att medvetenheten om orsakerna till stress hos barn ändå är relativt hög bland de flesta av de intervjuade. Fyra av sex intervjuade uppvisar medvetenhet om orsakerna och kommer med idéer på lösningar till det förebyggandet arbetet som orsakar negativ stress.

Abstract:

Background: Anemia is a condition that can negatively impact the strength, productivity, and cognition of an individual. Underlying causes are often micronutrient deficiencies or infectious diseases. In South Asia, the prevalence of anemia in preschool children has been estimated to be as high as 47% and micronutrient deficiencies are common. Aim: To determine the prevalence of anemia and its association with socio-demographic factors and micronutrient deficiencies in 4.5-year old children in Matlab, Bangladesh. Methods: Cross-sectional study based on secondary data collected within a prenatal food and micronutrient supplementation trial. Biomarker analyses of hemoglobin, iron, folate and vitamin B12 were carried out, and the prevalence of anemia and micronutrient deficiencies was determined. Information on maternal socio-demographic characteristics was collected in a previous study within the trial. Multiple logistic regression was carried out to investigate associations. Results: In total, 1,354 children participated in the study. The prevalence of anemia was 8% and associations were found with maternal education and season of blood testing. Children of mothers with ≥ 6 years of formal education, and the children giving blood in season 2 (mid-June – mid-October) and season 3 (mid-October – mid-February) had reduced risks of anemia by ≥ 48%. Deficiencies of iron, folate, and vitamin B12 were rare and not associated with anemia. Conclusion A much lower prevalence of anemia than anticipated was found in children in Matlab, Bangladesh. One reason could be the long presence of The International Centre for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh, which carries out research and provides health care.

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to continue the development of the Children's Life Situation Scale, in an attempt to create a scale which answered some of the methodological and statistical problems with existing scales and to establish psychometric evidence for its use. The participants were 210 fifth, sixth and seventh graders. Respondents were primarily from the middle class with approximately equal numbers of males (n=105) and females (n=106).The following research questions were addressed: 1. How well do individual items relate to a central concept and what is the internal consistency of the scale?2. What is the internal factor structure of the scale? 3. What is the criterion related validity of the scale in relation to the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC; Reynolds & Kamphaus, 1992)? 4. Do positive events affect outcome measures in a different way than do negatively stressful events?Results of reliability analysis suggested that the scale was highly internally consistent, and that all items equally related to the central concept of stress. However, Principal Axis Factoring revealed two factors which were conceptualized as "Life Events," and "Daily Hassles." When the total stress score as well as individual factor scores were correlated with the BASC, they were found to correlate significantly with all subscales, with the strongest correlations involving scales of an internalizing nature such as depression. The "Daily Hassles" factor was found to correlate most strongly with students' reports of psychological distress. Not only do the results support the use of the present scale as a reliable and valid measure of stress in children, results support the conceptualization of stress as involving two components, both "Life Events" and "Daily Hassles."
