Resumen

Background/Aims Few obesity prevention trials have focused on young children and their families in the home environment, particularly in underserved communities. Healthy Children, Strong Families 2 is a randomized controlled trial of a healthy lifestyle intervention for American Indian children and their families, a group at very high risk of obesity. The study design resulted from our long-standing engagement with American Indian communities, and few collaborations of this type resulting in the development and implementation of a randomized clinical trial have been described. Methods Healthy Children, Strong Families 2 is a lifestyle intervention targeting increased fruit and vegetable intake, decreased sugar intake, increased physical activity, decreased TV/screen time, and two less-studied risk factors: stress and sleep. Families with young children from five American Indian communities nationwide were randomly assigned to a healthy lifestyle intervention ( Wellness Journey) augmented with social support (Facebook and text messaging) or a child safety control group ( Safety Journey) for 1 year. After Year 1, families in the Safety Journey receive the Wellness Journey, and families in the Wellness Journey start the Safety Journey with continued wellness-focused social support based on communities’ request that all families receive the intervention. Primary (adult body mass index and child body mass index z-score) and secondary (health behaviors) outcomes are assessed after Year 1 with additional analyses planned after Year 2. Results To date, 450 adult/child dyads have been enrolled (100% target enrollment). Statistical analyses await trial completion in 2017. Lessons learned Conducting a community-partnered randomized controlled trial requires significant formative work, relationship building, and ongoing flexibility. At the communities’ request, the study involved minimal exclusion criteria, focused on wellness rather than obesity, and included an active control group and a design allowing all families to receive the intervention. This collective effort took additional time but was critical to secure community engagement. Hiring and retaining qualified local site coordinators was a challenge but was strongly related to successful recruitment and retention of study families. Local infrastructure has also been critical to project success. Other challenges included geographic dispersion of study communities and providing appropriate incentives to retain families in a 2-year study. Conclusion This multisite intervention addresses key gaps regarding family/home-based approaches for obesity prevention in American Indian communities. Healthy Children, Strong Families 2’s innovative aspects include substantial community input, inclusion of both traditional (diet/activity) and less-studied obesity risk factors (stress/sleep), measurement of both adult and child outcomes, social networking support for geographically dispersed households, and a community selected active control group. Our data will address a literature gap regarding multiple risk factors and their relationship to health outcomes in American Indian families.

Resumen

Faith-based organizations are a powerful resource for addressing health issues within the African American community. In this paper, we describe two projects led by volunteer faith-based leaders and community residents who collaborated with public agencies to design programs to combat obesity. The first project, the Southeast Raleigh Community Garden Project, involved the construction of a community garden and the delivery of educational programs on healthy eating among youth. The second one, Project FACT (Faith-based groups Addressing health issues through Community outreach Together in the community), implemented church-based nutrition education programs and community walking programs led by church volunteers. The purpose of the two faith-based health promotion projects was to increase opportunities for physical activity and to encourage consumption of more fruits and vegetables. These projects resulted in the construction of a walking trail with the community garden as its destination, implementation of education programs to increase nutritional awareness, the initiation of multiple walking programs, and policy changes within the church to encourage a healthier lifestyle. The projects demonstrated the feasibility of collaboration among faith-based organizations, community residents and government agencies to promote physical activity and healthful eating among families by creating physical changes in the environment and implementing educational and walking programs in low income communities.

Resumen

Abstract New Mexico now has the 32nd highest adult obesity rate (28.8% for 2015). Thirty one percent of this obesity rate encompasses Latinos; rates are the highest among the 26-44 years age group. Obesity rates in NM for children aged 2-11 range from 11 – 14%. Healthy Kids New Mexico adopted the 5-2-1-0 challenge. (American Academy of Pediatrics) which refers to eating 5+ vegetables, reducing screen time to 2 hours, 1 hour+ daily activity, and daily water intake (H20). Therefore, project I’M HIP2’s main goal was to educate parents and children, within an intergenerational context, on improving diet and activity levels to reduce obesity. The Intergenerational Mentoring on Health Information Pathways 2 (I’M HIP2) program involved 74 Hispanic families including one target child, one parent, and one other relative, e.g., aunt or grandparent. Monthly educational sessions focused on physical activity and adapting meals to be healthy. Project outcomes included exercise frequency, Body Mass Index (BMI), and a knowledge quiz assessing healthy meal facts, exercise knowledge via a 10-item quiz; all assessments pre- and post-program. Paired t-test analyses revealed significant changes in knowledge quiz total scores (t 70 = 5.03, p < .0001), increased exercise frequency (t 72 = 2.106, p < .05); no significant change in BMI from pre- to post-assessments. The families reported overwhelmingly positive responses to how the program had changed their eating styles and activity levels. This study has implications for how we can harness this invaluable resource of the generations to affect health impacts on Hispanic families.

Resumen

Epidemiological studies have suggested that the propensity to develop malignancy involves a complex mix of genetic and environmental determinants, however both older and innovative techniques display unresolved questions regarding etiology. Current barriers to achieving the potential benefit from this understanding are: 1) incomplete background on the various environmental and genetic factors involved in the carcinogenesis mechanism; 2) difficulties in accurately differentiating specific molecular subtypes and measuring the effective cellular exposure dose; and 3) difficulties in determining the multifactorial interaction between genetic and environmental factors. To extrapolate Human Genome Project research findings to the Post-Human Genome Project era, South America provides a large population and large-pedigree families, thus including genetically heterogeneous and less heterogeneous groups. An initial strategy might be to trace high risk populations and the respective exposures to which they are susceptible, such as: 1) migration, identifying rural migrant populations; 2) inherent susceptibility, studying "long term homogeneous populations" or large families living in similar rural environments; and 3) dissection of gene-environmental interaction.

Resumen

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Improving physical activity of African American women experiencing disproportionate health risks from sedentarism, educational and socio-environmental barriers. BeFit: Building Empowerment through Fitness is based on “What I Learned At Home” project, run by Women Under Construction Network, for residents of the Birmingham Housing Authority. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A qualitative study design to understand unique cultural context and challenges faced by African American women residing in the Birmingham Housing Authority, regarding physical activity engagement, including sedentarism. A needs assessment approach will help determine barriers, support systems, and social networks. Semi-structured, pre, mid, and post program focus groups will identify challenges and opportunities for health, such as diet and exercise, and will be analyzed by hand with a thematic analysis. The project framework uses exercise and home repair tools with a life-building/life repair curriculum to influence health, self-efficacy, and program engagement. The Study enrollment will include 50 women over two cohorts in a 12-week project. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: This research addresses the urgent health needs of African American women in low-income communities. These women face heightened health risks due to sedentary lifestyles, educational gaps, and socio-environmental barriers. This project targets the pronounced prevalence of allostatic burden in this population by applying a culturally sensitive, bottom-up approach. Our goal of incorporating healthy lifestyles to improve health in at-risk women and their families requires multiple projects. This project is a necessary first step in engaging with a community to identify local environmental circumstances and barriers to increasing the relevance of physical activity within the home. These barriers can then be addressed by adapting an exercise promotion program to the needs of this community. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Black women in under-resourced communities are more likely to be sedentary and have poor health. Exercise programs can be a powerful tool to address disparities and help prioritize health. The circumstances of women in public housing in Birmingham, AL, need community partners to adapt exercise engagement programs to meet environmental challenges.

Resumen

This cluster randomized controlled trial aimed at overweight and obese children compared three treatments. Two psychoeducation interventions for parents and children were conducted: Family Lifestyle (FL) focused on food and physical activity; Family Dynamics (FD) added parenting and healthy emotion management. A third Peer Group (PG) intervention taught social acceptance to children. Crossing interventions yielded four conditions: FL, FL + PG, FL + FD, and FL + FD + PG—compared with the control. Longitudinal BMI data were collected to determine if family- and peer-based psychosocial components enhanced the Family Lifestyle approach. Participants were 1st graders with BMI%ile >75 (n = 538: 278 boys, 260 girls). Schools were randomly assigned to condition after stratifying for community size and percent American Indian. Anthropometric data were collected pre- and post-intervention in 1st grade and annually through 4th grade. Using a two-level random intercept growth model, intervention status predicted differences in growth in BMI or BMI-M% over three years. Children with obesity who received the FL + FD + PG intervention had lower BMI gains compared to controls for both raw BMI (B = −0.05) and BMI-M% (B = −2.36). Interventions to simultaneously improve parent, child, and peer-group behaviors related to physical and socioemotional health offer promise for long-term positive impact on child obesity.

Resumen

Overweight and obese children are at an increased risk of remaining obese. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends addressing healthy habits at well-child checks, but this poses challenges, especially in low-income populations. A clinical innovation project was designed to adapt recommendations in a busy urban clinic and consisted of motivational interviewing, culturally tailored tools, and standardizing documentation. A quasi-experimental design examined innovation outcomes. Of 137 overweight and obese children aged 24 to 66 months, providers’ documentation of weight during well-child check visits improved post-innovation ( P < .01), as did development of healthy habits goals ( P < .001). Families were more likely to return for visits post-innovation ( P = .01). A logistic regression analysis showed that adding body mass index to the problem list and establishing a specific follow-up timeframe most predicted follow-up visits to assess progress ( P < .001). Comprehensive innovations consisting of motivational interviewing, implementation of culturally tailored tools, and standardized documentation can enhance engagement in an urban clinic setting.

Resumen

IntroductionFetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in North America. It is a complex disability, associated with challenges in cognitive, behavioural and socialemotional functioning, as well as an increased risk of physical and mental health comorbidities, and difficulties in daily living across the lifespan. Previous attempts to characterise the profile of this population have been hampered by differences in data collected across studies, regional discrepancies in terminology and definitions, and a lack of tools to integrate comprehensive datasets.Methods and analysisThe goals of this study are to use the Canadian National FASD Database, a national repository of FASD assessment-related information, to better understand the functional profile, comorbidities, intervention needs and difficulties in daily living experienced by individuals assessed for FASD across the lifespan. We will also examine what factors may be the most sensitive predictors of receiving an FASD diagnosis. Data will be analysed from over 3500 records collected between 2010 and 2021 (ongoing) from 26 FASD diagnostic clinics in seven provinces and territories. Data collection is ongoing, and analysis will be performed on a biannual basis to continue to hone our understanding of the profiles, needs and outcomes of individuals assessed for FASD in Canada. This research is critical for refining FASD assessment and diagnostic practice, enabling accurate and early identification of individuals with FASD, and connecting individuals with FASD and their families to comprehensive and effective services and resources to support healthy developmental trajectories.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval for the National FASD Database Project was obtained from the Ottawa Health Science Network Research Ethics Board. As new knowledge is gained from this project, findings will be disseminated through publications, presentations and feedback to participating clinics, with the ultimate goal of informing FASD research, practice and policy.

Resumen

China has made enormous strides in economic development since the reform and opening up., while medicine and health care are relatively backward. Medical insurance is a very important social insurance project and an important institutional arrangement in the modern social security system. In addition to the common functions of social insurance, it also protects the physical and mental health of workers timely. It has special functions such as repairing labor capacity, reducing the economic burden of workers and their families, improving the physical fitness of the whole people, and promoting the healthy development of health services. Research question: which is better, Chinese insurance or American insurance. This paper analyzes the advantages of American insurance and the disadvantages of Chinese insurance through comparative research. This paper compares the coverage and protection, objects of insurance in China and the United States. By summing up the advantages of American insurance, it hopes that it can play a reference role in improving China's insurance. After analysis, this paper can draw the conclusion that the state needs to strengthen the people's awareness of maintenance, control the growth of medical expenses, and implement nationwide medical insurance.

Resumen

An in-school feeding project, Kids In Need or KIN, was introduced in the fall of 2001 to a rural community located between two First Nation's Reserves, in southern Alberta. I analyze the KIN project and its ensuing controversy as the site of struggle over the meaning of parenting. Given the predominance of neoliberalism as a discursive practice, centered on individual responsibility, the controversy generated by the KIN project reflects the central question of how to implement a program devised to assist children living with adults presumably "responsible" for their well-being. Implicitly the debate centered on particular class-based, neoconservative constructions of families, which support a gendered division of labor and were deployed in this community to reengage long standing notions about the parental deficits of Natives. This thesis explores the possible dangers, then, of the KIN project's focus on child poverty, in relation to neoliberal constructions of personhood, gender and race.

Resumen

Healthy Women, Healthy Families is a survey collection and story sharing project spearheaded by NARAL Pro Choice Texas. The reproductive justice based project asks survey respondents to rate how urgently their community needs a variety of health care services. While all Texas women are invited to participate, special attention was paid to targeting low income and minority women. In this report, I analyze the survey data and make both policy and internal recommendations for NPCT. Overall the survey results show that while all of the services in question are needed by women in Texas, there are differences in the strength of this need based on race and income. General health care services were most valued by all demographics, but NARAL’s priority services were valued most by upper class white women, while low income and minority women were more likely to support services aimed at specific populations (non-English speakers, women in prison, undocumented immigrants, those without transportation, etc.). Based on these survey results, I recommend that NARAL conduct follow up surveys as a way of illuminating some still unanswered questions. In addition, I recommend that NARAL reach out to coalition partners who advocate for the most needed services, expand outreach into low income and minority communities, and use outreach and messaging to try and frame NARAL’s services in a larger, more general health care context.

Resumen

AbstractClimate change, food systems, and food and nutrition security (FNS) are strongly interlinked. Food systems (FSs) contribute to global greenhouse emissions, while climate change impacts livelihoods, food choices, and all determinants of malnutrition, jeopardizing international efforts to reduce hunger and promote nutrition. Climate extremes are key drivers behind the recent worsening of global hunger, which is also exacerbated by other crises, such as the lingering effects of the pandemic, the economic slowdown, and the impacts of the conflict in Ukraine on the global rise of food prices. Building resilient FSs is vital to increasing access to affordable, healthy diets for everyone in this uncertain and challenging context. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) fosters regional and local solutions, innovations, and best practices to strengthen FSs resilience and adaptive capacity to improve rural people’s livelihoods. This chapter analyzes how climate change is worsening food security and malnutrition in LAC and essential regional pathways for building sustainable climate-resilient FSs, presenting the case study of IFAD’s Pro-Semiarid Project in Bahia, Brazil (PSA). It also highlights challenges and project-specific solutions implemented to strengthen FSs resilience, which can be scaled up and disseminated along LAC and between regions with relevant impacts on FNS.

This chapter introduces the concepts of participatory action research and community-based participatory research (CBPR) and reviews nine CBPR principles recommended when engaging American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities in research. Messengers for Health, a long-running CBPR study among the Apsáalooke (Crow) Nation in Montana, is described in detail to illustrate the nine CBPR principles. Four other successful CBPR projects are described in less detail, including the 2017 Santa Fe Indian Center Health Impact Assessment, Guardians of the Living Water (a project to improve water quality in tribal areas of Montana), the MALAMA Aquaponics Study with Native Hawaiian Families, and the Children's Healthy Living Project for Remote Underserved Populations in the Pacific Region.

Resumen

Abstract Seven years after it ended, World War II elected Dwight David Eisenhower president. As supreme commander of Allied forces in Europe, “Ike” had projected a handsome, confident presence that symbolized the nation’s resolve to defeat its enemies. After the war, both major parties wooed the retired general before he revealed that he had always been a Republican. In many ways, the country Eisenhower governed during the 1950s was still living in the aftermath of its triumph in history’s bloodiest conflict. Millions of veterans and their families basked in the glow of a healthy economy defying predictions that peace would bring on another depression. Long years of prosperity allowed Americans to dream that, for the first time in history, the problem of scarcity-which bred poverty, joblessness, and desperation-might soon be solved. But they also feared that a new and even more devastating world war-fought with nuclear weapons-could break out at any time. Affluence might suddenly give way to annihilation. The backdrop to the ‘60s was thus a society perched between great optimism and great fear.

Resumen

Abstract From The Beginning, I have lived and suffered with the conflict in which my country, Colombia, has been immersed, and I have participated in and contributed to the development of the course of action of the Mennonite church in this situation of social upheaval. What follows is a description of the evolution of the active response of the Colombian Mennonite church in the ongoing conflict. To understand the situation, let us go back to 1956 in Cachipay, Cundinamarca, Colombia. For nine years, from 1947, the General Conference Mennonite Church of the United States and the American Leprosy Mission had been operating a boarding grade school as a support to the healthy children of people with leprosy. This was a project of missionaries from the United States who had moved to this community and settled there with their families. People with leprosy had been abandoned by a society and by a state that, at that time, had the belief that this was a contagious disease against which society had to be defended. For this reason, the sick were taken, often by force, to a quarantined community called Agua de Dios (Water of God), located approximately three hours’ drive west of Bogota. The children were separated from their families and placed in a state-operated boarding school called Nazaret under miserable conditions.

Resumen

This chapter reviews the book’s main themes and findings through the broader lens of the mixed-method approach, noting the ways in which the survey data and the family ethnographies provided surprises and novel insights into the workings of immigrant Korean American parents and their adolescent children. The chapter ends with the conclusion that, contrary to previous common portraits of immigrant Asian American parents as “tiger parents” focused on intense cultivation of academic and occupational attainment for their children, immigrant parents care deeply about how to cultivate their children’s healthy sense of self, with awareness of their gendered and racialized positions within the U.S. society. In turn, their children respond to their immigrant parents’ aspirations and care in resilient—and often surprising—ways.

Resumen

Increasingly, the healthcare burden of an aging population in the United States is being “relieved” through family members caring for aging and ill loved ones at home. Today, families are turning to mobile technology to lessen their burden and to cope with the stress of caring for loved ones through activities ranging from healthcare information searches to social interactions with online health communities. The purpose of this chapter is to analyze factors predicting the characteristics and context of the U.S. home caregiver population. In addition, this chapter explores how mobile technologies are helping to mitigate some of the weight placed on the family caregiver. The authors explore these questions using multivariate regression analysis and individual level data from the Internet and American Life Project. The findings suggest that interaction with others in online support groups may be more important for the e-caregiver than other online activities.

Resumen

Korean society has shifted from agriculture to industry in the past 40 years. This rapid change in the economy has affected the life style of Koreans. The majority of children living in Korean industrialized cities have limited access to the outdoor activity in natural settings, which negatively impacts the physical, emotional, and social development of Korean children. Scholars in childhood education identify significant changes in housing, foods and eating habits, and family structure, which dilute Korean culture and traditions and hinder the healthy development of children. Teachers in South Korea today design learning environments and implement instructional lesson plans to combat the effects of urbanization, industrialization, and globalization. One of the notable lesson units is Kim-jang, integral to the Korean culture, which engages children, families and the community in activities through gardening and a variety of other activities. The Kim-jang unit is designed to accommodate intrinsic learning modalities of young children for hands-on, active learning experiences; to integrate standards-based content areas to strengthen skills and build knowledge; to deepen interpersonal and intrapersonal insight; and to, first and foremost, enhance traditional cultural values and practices as they are lost through rapid industrialization.

Resumen

This presentation advances a case study for an ongoing intercultural animation project which seeks to meaningfully educate New Zealand Tauiwi (the country's diverse groups, including migrants and refugees) on the values, customs and protocols (Tikanga) of Māori (the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand). Ako For Niños (‘education for children’), implemented by a migrant social services organisation and media-design team, introduces Latin American Tauiwi to Tikanga through an animated children’s series, developed with a community short story writing competition and co-design with a kaitiaki (Māori guardian/advisor). Māori are recognised in Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the founding document of New Zealand) as partners with Pākeha (European New Zealanders), and Māori knowledge and Tikanga are important to society and culture in Aotearoa. Notwithstanding, there has been a historic lack of attention paid to developing meaningful understandings of Māori perspectives for New Zealand Tauiwi. Ako For Niños endeavours to address current shortages of engaging resources on Māori worldviews for Tauiwi communities, create opportunities for Tauiwi to benefit from Māori epistemologies, and foster healthy community relationships between Māori and Latin American Tauiwi. Through the project’s short story competition, Tauiwi were given definitions of Tikanga through a social media campaign, then prompted to write a children’s tale based on one of these in their native language. This encouraged Tauiwi to gain deeper comprehension of Māori values, and interpret Tikanga into their own expressions. Three winning entries were selected, then adapted into stop-motion and 2D animations. By converting the stories into aesthetically pleasing animated episodes, the Tikanga and narratives could be made more captivating for young audiences and families, appealing to the senses and emotions through visual storytelling, sound-design, and music. The media-design team worked closely with a kaitiaki during this process to better understand and communicate the Tikanga, adapting and co-designing the narratives in a culturally safe process. This ensured Māori knowledge, values, and interests were disseminated in correct and respectful ways. We argue for the importance of creative participation of Tauiwi, alongside co-design with Māori to produce educational intercultural design projects on Māori worldviews. Creative participation encourages new cultural knowledge to be imaginatively transliterated into personal interpretations and expressions of Tauiwi, allowing indigenous perspectives to be made more meaningful. This meaningful engagement with Māori values, which are more grounded in relational and human-centred concepts, can empower Tauiwi to feel more cared for and interconnected with their new home and culture. Additionally, co-design with Māori can help to honour Te Tiriti, and create spaces where Tauiwi, Pākeha and Māori interface in genuine partnership with agency (rangatiratanga), enhancing the credibility and value of outcomes. This session unpacks the contexts informing, and methods undertaken to develop the series, presenting current outcomes and expected directions (including a screening and exhibition). We will also highlight potential for the methodology to be applied in new ways in future, such as with other Tauiwi communities, different cultural knowledge, and increased collaborative co-design with Māori.

Resumen

This study is part of the Special Olympics Healthy Communities project, entitled ,,Close the referral loop", carried out in partnership with Vodafone Romania Foundation, financed through Mobile4Good program. This project seeks to build on a unique global database and move onwards from data gathering to using the current data to empower athletes and their families to transform their health outcomes through self-advocacy and informed management of their own health through Athletes Personal Health Records with two-way interactivity with athletes' mobile devices. If an athlete has a referral recommended at a Healthy Athletes screening event, details of the referral are automatically recorded in the athlete's health record. In this context, the athlete's mobile phone is used to alert athletes that a medical referral has been recommended. To be inclusive for all Special Olympics athletes the mobile health solution needs to be available on the common mobile devices on the standard operating systems of mobile phone and tablets including Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile, iPhone and iPad. The pilot study, followed by two other screening events (between 2012-2013) which took place at UNEFS gathered a total of 458 subjects whose data were digitally entered in the system which further generated SMS follow-up messages. This application renders possible digital data entry on cell phone and tablets, two way interactive messaging to athletes' cell phones and tablets to close the referral loop after Healthy Athletes events, two way interactive messaging to athletes' cell phones and tablets for follow up of services and devices given at Healthy Athletes events and athlete data entry into their personal health record.

Resumen

The mental health of adult women is an important attribute of their motherhood. Weakening of mental health poses a threat to activities in the field of self-care and healthy development of their children. Even under these conditions of health disadvantage, women-mothers remain as the main mediators of health-promoting habits for their children, thus they become theirs first educators. The health literacy of these women also plays a role in this regard. For this reason, it is crucial to provide these women with sufficient special education that takes their individual needs into account. This research project is focused on finding connections between the mental health disorder of mothers, their health literacy with manifestations in the field of health-promoting behaviour, and with the need for support in the relevant area of childcare by professionals and close family members. The author will present an overview of research focused on this issue as well as her own proposal for a research solution, which received the support of the Charles University Grant Agency for the years 2021-2022.

Resumen

The purpose of this project was to design a product that would improve the standard of living, as well as stimulate the economy of a developing nation. Increasing food production was determined to be one of the greatest needs in emerging economies. Initial market research of indigenous grinding methods and diets of several developing nations pointed to a need for grain mills in Central and South America. In order to design a grain mill to meet this need, grain mill machines currently available in industrialized nations were first analyzed in order to determine the technical aspects that would be needed to construct an appropriate grain mill. The initial grain mill designed as well as prototyped weighs 40 pounds and can be assembled without any tools. The grain mill is able to efficiently grind corn into fine flour using a two-step grinding process. Using the two-step process, 1.5 pounds of grain can be milled in an hour. In addition, the grain mill can be easily disassembled for cleaning and transportation when necessary. Through analysis of the potential market’s income as well as looking at the production process, the price per grain mill is expected to be $50, a cost that is within the budget of many families and communities in the Americas.

Resumen

The “Space of Trees and Light” technique, proposed by K. Adams, is based on the metaphors of trees and light as a special space, and allows a better understanding of the nature of children's experience of relationships in families with disabilities. There are 4 pictures filled with different shades of light and dark. In the first "The Vivid Space", a child is depicted sitting near a large tree in bright light, symbolizing stability and protection. The second “the Shimmering Space” depicts a road through a dark forest, along which a child is walking, accompanied by an adult, symbolizing family support. The third "The Opaque space" depicts twilight with a dark silhouette of a child, symbolizing loneliness and anxiety. The fourth "The Invisible Space" with trees in the fog and no child at all symbolizes doubt, detachment and loss of oneself. The results of the study involving 46 respondents with disabilities and 24 mothers of children with disabilities showed that a third of people with disabilities more often choose "The Vivid" and "The Shimmering" spaces, a quarter – "the Opaque Space" and 10.4% "the Invisible Space", in contrast to conditionally healthy mothers of children with disabilities (χ²=12.153; р=0.007). 62.5% of these mothers choose "the Vivid Space", 16.7% – "the Shimmering Space", 20.8% – "the Invisible space", in contrast to respondents with disabilities who do not have children (χ²=11.808; р=0.008). Mothers of children with disabilities have a rather favorable experience of relationships in the parental family, which they can pass on to their children. Although there is some detachment and loss of self, which may be associated with the traumatic situation of giving birth of a child with disabilities. People with disabilities equally often choose "the Vivid", "the Shimmering" and "the Opaque" spaces, which indicates a diverse experience of relationships in parental families. The set of pictures “Space of Trees and light” can become an instrument for assessing the experience of relationships in a parental family and a psychotherapeutic form of travel to childhood experience; a navigator for developing relationships in families with 176 disabilities. It is possible to dive into childhood experience, moving from picture to picture, discussing transitions and drawing resources from different spaces. Funding. The reported study was funded by Russian Science Foundation (RSF), project number 22-28-00820 (Psychological resources of socially vulnerable groups in the face of modern challenges (on the example of people with disabilities and their families). Техника «Пространство дерева и света» предложена К.Адамс, основана на метафорах пространств дерева и света, позволяет лучше понять характер детского опыта отношений в семьях с инвалидностью. Предлагаются 4 картинки, наполненные разными оттенками света и тьмы. На первой «Живое пространство», изображен ребенок, сидящий около большого дерева в ярком свете, символизирует устойчивость и защиту. На второй «Мерцающее пространство» изображена дорога через темный лес, по которой идет ребенок, поддерживаемый взрослым, символизирует поддержку в семье. На третьей «Непрозрачное пространство» изображены сумерки, различим темный силуэт ребенка, символизирует одиночество, тревогу. Четвертая «Невидимое пространство» с деревьями в тумане, на картине нет ребенка. Символизирует сомнения, отстраненность, потерю себя. Исследование с участием 46 респондентов с инвалидностью и 24 матерей детей с инвалидностью, показало, что треть людей с инвалидностью чаще выбирают «живое» «мерцающее», четверть – «непрозрачное» и 10,4% «невидимое» пространства в отличие от условно здоровых матерей, имеющих детей с инвалидностью (χ²=12,153; р=0,007). 62,5% матерей детей с инвалидностью выбирают «живое», 16,7% – «мерцающее», 20,8% – «невидимое» пространства в отличие от респондентов с инвалидностью, не имеющих детей (χ²=11,808; р=0,008). У матерей детей с инвалидностью достаточно благоприятный опыт отношений в родительской семье, который они могут передавать своим детям, хотя и отмечается некоторая отстраненность и потеря себя, что, возможно, связано с травматической ситуацией рождения ребенка с инвалидностью. Лица с инвалидностью одинаково часто выбирают «живое», «мерцающее» и «непрозрачное» пространства, что свидетельствует о разнообразном опыте отношений в родительских семьях. Набор картинок «Пространство дерева и света» может стать инструментом оценки опыта отношений в родительской семье и психотерапевтической формой путешествия в детский опыт; навигатором для развития отношений в семьях с инвалидностью. Можно совершать путешествия в детский опыт, двигаясь от картинки к картинке, обсуждая переходы и черпая ресурсы в разных пространствах.

Resumen

When Paul Rudolph was commissioned to design a new university campus for East Pakistan in the mid-1960s, the project was among the first to introduce the expressionist brutalist lexicon of late-modernism into the changing architectural language of postcolonial South and Southeast Asia. Beyond the formal and tectonic ruptures with established colonial-modern norms that these designs represented, they also introduced equally radical challenges to established patterns of domestic space-use. Principles of open-planning and functional zoning employed by Rudolf in the design of academic staff accommodation, for example, evidently reflected a socially progressive approach – in light of the contemporary civil rights movement back in America – to the accommodation of domestic servants within the household of the modern nuclear family. As subsequent residents would recount, however, these same planning principles could have very different and even opposite implications for the privacy and sense of security of Bangladeshi academics and their families. The paper explores and interprets the post-occupancy experience of living in such novel ‘ultra-modern’ patterns of a new domesticity in postcolonial Bangladesh, and their reception and adaptation into the evolving norms of everyday residential development over the decades since. Specifically, it examines the reception of and responses to these radically new residential patterns by female members of the evolving modern Bengali Muslim middle class who were becoming progressively more liberal in their outlook and lifestyles, whilst retaining consciousness and respect for the abiding significance in their personal and family lives of traditional cultural practices and religious affinities. Drawing from the case material and methods of an on-going PhD study, the paper will offer a contrapuntal analysis of architectural and ethnological evidence of how the modern Bengali woman negotiates, adapts to and calibrates these received architectural patterns of domesticity whilst simultaneously crafting a reembraced cultural concept of femininity, in a fluid dialogical process of refashioning both space and self.

Resumen

Assistive robotics is making significant progress in a wide variety of areas and will play a key role in the coming years as part of strategies for Ageing in Place and Active and Healthy Aging. Despite the demonstrated potential of technology to support the care of elderly and frail people, some elements still limit its application, such as the technology acceptability issue. The acceptability of technology, in particular for elderly and frail users, is a delicate issue, whose assessment metrics offer many opportunities for design research: in fact, the interaction that users establish with assistive technologies defines the very experience of aging (Forlizzi et al., 2004).The complexity of Human-Robot Interaction requires multidisciplinary collaboration that includes engineers, designers, health and social service associations and cooperatives, caregivers, economists, sociologists, lawyers, psychologists, therapists, and even end users such as the elderly and their families. In an effort to design for acceptability, it is therefore essential to make effective interdisciplinary cooperation among all professionals involved in the development of robotic systems. However, despite the common background in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), the scientific and methodological approaches of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) and Human-Centred Design (HCD) are significantly different in methods, philosophy and structure.The presented research is based on a general hypothesis: the HCD approach, if applied to the preliminary design phases of assistive robots, could lead to a deep understanding of needs, expectations and desires of people. Designers can use many methods (interviews, focus groups, ethnography, etc.) to explore people’s emotions and other abstract feelings that cannot be investigated through quantitative tools and statistical data. An appropriate knowledge of the user, of the context in which the interaction takes place and of the activities to be performed, could increase the attitude and intention of people to use assistive robots. This process would be even more effective if the designer knew the variables of acceptance in the HRI field. Designers often work within a multidisciplinary team composed of engineers, computer scientists, psychologists, sociologists, etc. Designers are catalysts for different professional skills involved in the project: consequently, they should also know the evaluation methods and intervention strategies in the field of HRI. This would lead designers to have a broader view on design processes and to recognize the most important variables of acceptability in robotics.On this basis, the tool "Robotics & Design: the tool to design Human-Centered Assistive Robotics," online at www.roboticsdesign.org, was developed. This tool, presented in this paper, has two main goals:- design purpose: to support the development of a cross-disciplinary collaborative process, to excerpt design patterns (Preece, 2015) from the results of scientific trials as they can be used by other designers according to users' features, activities, and contexts of use and then be translated into tangible design solutions;- theoretical and scientific purpose: to develop a methodological bridge between the HCD and HRI fields; and to provide designers and researchers in design with tools for agile consultation of the main methodologies and variables of acceptability in robotics and their intercorrelation.

Health System Panel To Inform and Encourage Use of Evidence Reports: Findings From the Implementation and Evaluation of Two Evidence-Based Tools. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), agosto de 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.23970/ahrqepchealthsystempanel.

Texto completo

Resumen

Objectives. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) Program wants learning health systems (LHSs) to use the evidence from its reports to improve patient care. In 2018, to improve uptake of EPC Program findings, the EPC Program developed a project to enhance LHSs’ adoption of evidence to improve the quality and effectiveness of patient care. AHRQ contracted with the American Institutes for Research (AIR) and its partners to convene a panel of senior leaders from 11 LHSs to guide the development of tools to help health systems use findings from EPC evidence reports. The panel’s contributions led to developing, implementing, and evaluating two electronic tools to make the EPC report findings more accessible. AIR evaluated the LHSs’ use of the tools to understand (1) LHSs’ experiences with and impressions of the tools, (2) how well the tools helped them access evidence, and (3) how well the tools addressed barriers to LHS use of the EPC reports and barriers to applying the evidence from the reports. Data sources. (1) Implementation meetings with 6 LHSs; (2) interviews with 27 health system leaders and clinical staff who used the tools; and (3) website utilization metrics. Results. The tools were efficient and useful sources of summarized evidence to (1) inform systems change, (2) educate trainees and clinicians, (3) inform research, and (4) support shared decision making with patients and families. Clinical leaders appreciated the thoroughness and quality of the evidence reviews and view AHRQ as a trusted source of information. Participants found both tools to be valuable and complementary. Participants suggested optimizing the content for mobile device use to facilitate health system uptake of the tools. In addition, they felt it would be helpful to have training resources about tool navigation and interpreting the statistical content in the tools. Conclusions. The evaluation shows that LHSs find the tools to be useful resources for making the EPC Program reports more accessible to health system leaders. The tools have the potential to meet some, but not all, LHS evidence needs, while exposing health system leaders to AHRQ as a resource to help meet their information needs. The ability of the EPC reports to support LHSs in improving the quality of care is limited by the strength and robustness of the evidence, as well as the relevance of the report topics to patient care challenges faced by LHSs.

Programme recommendations for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV: A practical guide for managers. Population Council, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/hiv2003.1009.

Texto completo

Resumen

UNAIDS estimates that 800,000 children were infected with HIV in 2001, almost all through transmission of the virus from their mothers during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. Of these, seven of each eight live in sub-Saharan Africa and most of the rest live in South and Southeast Asia. To combat mother-to-child transmission of HIV (MTCT), in 1999 the UNAIDS Secretariat, UNFPA, UNICEF, and WHO launched the Inter Agency Task Team on Prevention of HIV Transmission in Pregnant Women, Mothers, and Their Children (IATT), which provides guidance for prevention of MTCT (PMTCT). In the view of the IATT, PMTCT is part of broader strategies to prevent the transmission of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases, to care for HIV-positive women and their families, and to promote maternal-child health. The IATT has proposed a four-pronged approach for the prevention of HIV transmission to pregnant women, mothers, and their children, yet significant financial and technical challenges remain. To address these challenges, UNICEF has supported 11 pilot projects in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. This HIV/AIDS working paper provides guidance for improving and scaling up PMTCT programs, based on what program managers and evaluators identify as successful strategies.
