Collecting Real-Life Psychophysiological Data via Wearables to Better Understand Child Behavior in a Children’s Psychiatric Center: Mixed Methods Study on Feasibility and Implementation

Collecting Real-Life Psychophysiological Data via Wearables to Better Understand Child Behavior in a Children’s Psychiatric Center: Mixed Methods Study on Feasibility and Implementation

In total, 18 children from the clinic and 12 children from the day care unit were included (see Study Population subsection in the Results section for further details). The majority of the children attended a special education school located adjacent to the treatment center for at least a few hours each day. No inclusion or exclusion criteria were formulated. The ethics approval was reviewed by the Medical Research Ethics Committee at the UMCU, the Netherlands.

Supporting Medication Adherence in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Using the BMT4me mHealth App: Mixed Methods Usability Study

Supporting Medication Adherence in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Using the BMT4me mHealth App: Mixed Methods Usability Study

However, such interventions have yet to be tested to promote medication adherence among children in the acute phase post-HCT (ie, hospital discharge to day 100) [30]. This paper reports a longitudinal mixed methods pilot study examining the usability of a m Health intervention (BMT4me) with caregivers of children in the acute phase following HCT. This intervention helps caregivers to record and track their child’s medications, set reminders, report symptoms, and take notes on their child’s progress.

Factors Influencing Virtual Reality as a Distraction Tool for Venipuncture in Children: Observational Pilot Feasibility Study

Factors Influencing Virtual Reality as a Distraction Tool for Venipuncture in Children: Observational Pilot Feasibility Study

A recent systematic review and meta-analysis [10] collated 11 randomized controlled trials in children under 12 years of age to conclude that VR was more useful than other nonpharmacological methods to relieve pain and anxiety for various procedures in children. Another recent meta-analysis [11] of 10 randomized controlled trials evaluated the efficacy of VR use in children aged 3 to 12 years to conclude favorably on the efficacy and benefit in pediatric venipuncture.

Assessing the Impact of a Telemedicine Program on Caregivers of Children With Complex Chronic Conditions: Pre-Post Intervention Study

Assessing the Impact of a Telemedicine Program on Caregivers of Children With Complex Chronic Conditions: Pre-Post Intervention Study

In high-income countries, children with a complex chronic condition (CCC) represent 0.67%‐5% of the pediatric population; however, they consume up to 40% of total health expenditure, involving a high level of care both in and out of hospital, primary care, and non-health services [5-9]. The prevalence of life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses has increased in recent decades, with an estimated 61.1 per 10,000 children aged 1‐19 years in the United Kingdom.

Parents’ Motivations for Calling an Out-of-Hours Helpline: Qualitative Study

Parents’ Motivations for Calling an Out-of-Hours Helpline: Qualitative Study

Young children often fall ill, leading to more out-of-hours health care usage compared with other patient age groups [1-3]. Fortunately, severe illness in children is rare [4]. In a study of 16,000 children under 5 years admitted to a pediatric department with fever, only 7% had a severe infection [5]. The high rate of health care usage is often driven by a fear of making the wrong decisions and failing to recognize severe symptoms, particularly in young children [5-10].

Discriminative Power of the Serious Game Attention Slackline in Children and Adolescents With and Without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Validation Study

Discriminative Power of the Serious Game Attention Slackline in Children and Adolescents With and Without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Validation Study

This disorder represents one of the most common causes of conduct problems among children [9,11]. In this sense, children with a diagnosis of ADHD may experience a significant deterioration in psychological, social, and academic well-being [12,13]. Given its high prevalence, associated comorbidities, and chronic nature, ADHD represents a major public health concern. [14,15].

The Prevalence of Hypertension Among Children and Antihypertensive Use: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Globally, confirmed HT is prevalent in 2%-4% of children [6]—as also demonstrated in the United States (2.2%-3.9%) [7]. Whereas in the African and Asian continents, the pooled prevalence of HT among children is 5.5% (Africa) [8], 18.4% (China) [9], and 29.8% (India) [10].
