The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of emotion regulation skills training on reducing aggressive and oppositional behaviors in children (4-6 years old) in Shiraz, City, Iran during the fall and winter of 2018-19. Methods: This was quasi-experimental study with pre-test & posttest design and controlgroup.The current study's statistical population consisted of 26 children with symptoms of aggressive and oppositional behaviour through the Child Symptom Inventory (CSI-4) and the Seyedi questionnaire for aggression. Among these people, a purposeful sampling method was used to select 26 individuals (13 to a control group and 13 individuals assigned to an experimental group). The experimental group participated in 28, 30-45-minute emotion regulation training sessions from a programme called DECA-P2, whereas the control group received no treatment. A posttest was conducted after the sessions were done. The Child Symptom Inventory-4(CSI-4) and Aggression questionnaire were used to collect the data. Data were analyzed MANCOVA by using SPSS V. 23 software.  Results: Results of covariance analysis showed that emotion regulation training with the DECA-P2 approach was effective in reducing aggressive and oppositional behavior among children (P<0.01). Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of emotion regulation training (the DECA-P2 approach) in reducing the aggressive and oppositional behaviors among children, we recommended that authorities apply this training to reduce children’s maladaptive behaviors and prepare them for the next emotional and social development stages.","PeriodicalId":14122,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Research and Health Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75979437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study, therefore, examined the effects of chronic exposure to Codeine and Tramadol on feeding behaviour. Twenty-Four (24) Female Albino Rats weighing between 150-200g and 4-6 weeks old, were used. They were divided into 4 experimental groups of Codeine, Tramadol, combined Codeine and Tramadol and Control groups with 6 rats in each group and exposed to 8mg/kg of codeine, 20mg/kg of tramadol, combined 8mg/kg of codeine and 20mg/kg of tramadol, and normal saline for 28 days. Records of the amount of food ingested and the bodyweight of the rats were taken daily for the duration of the experiment. Randomized block ANOVA showed a significant effect of Codeine and Tramadol on feeding behavior (F (3,641) = 25.53, p < 0.001, η2= .11), and body weight (F (3,641) = 76.67, p < 0.001, η2= .26), among the female rats. Female rats in the combined codeine and tramadol group ingested less food (x ̅=33.45), compared to codeine group alone (x ̅=40.71), tramadol group alone (x ̅=39.96) and control group (x ̅=49.38).  Female rats in the combined codeine and tramadol group gained less weight (x ̅=132.67), compared to codeine group alone (x ̅=137.67), tramadol group alone (x ̅=133.33), and control group (x ̅=164.25).

Since then, tracking of all deliveries and all the newborns are an integral part of the work of ASHAs in all the primary health care programs operated by the NHM in UP (GOI, 2005, GOUP, 2013). The current article examines the role & work of ASHAs through the responses of the mothers of newborns at district level. Evaluation studies on the performance of ASHAs was done since 2011 as by then ASHAs had actually worked in the field for a minimum period of 5 years. It is to be noted that National Rural Health Mission was rolled out in April 2005 but it took about one to two years for the states to hire ASHAs and put things in place right from the state to the village level (GOUP, 2013).  In this article, a comprehensive feedback is elicited from the Recently Delivered Women on the pre-lacteal feeding of their newborns as part of newborn care program at the district level.     \u0000  \u0000The current study explores some of the crucial variables on the home-based newborn care activities like the poor practice of pre-lacteal feeding of the newborn through the response of mothers of newborns on newborn care. The poor practice of pre-lacteal feeding of newborn in child health programs is a critical barrier in breastfeeding practices. The current article follows up the role of ASHAs in Home Based Newborn Care program through the response of the mothers on the type of pre-lacteals & discarding of milk before breastfeeding the child. The mothers were selected as respondents as they were the selected mothers from the list of mothers available with their ASHAs at the time of survey.    \u0000  \u0000The relevance of the study assumes significance as data on the details of the type of pre-lacteal feeding of newborn as a barrier component of child health & newborn programs are not included in many surveys. Further, response details from the mothers on these options on pre-lacteals where their types are discussed are usually not collected in many studies/surveys. Such responses that collect actual actions on the pre-lacteal feeding & milk discarding before breastfeeding are not collected in many surveys. Such information collection there by indirectly assess the work & approach of ASHAs including the awareness of ASHAs & mothers on the programs related to Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) are not the focus in very large-scale health surveys. Similarly, such response on these two barriers on EIBF related activities of newborn care through the work of ASHAs in the current implemented programs do not come under the ambit of many social studies or surveys.

Methods: In this study, all published observational studies, including cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies, as well as case reports and case series, in peer-reviewed journals in any language until the end of July 2020 will be assessed. Editorials, commentaries, and letters to editors will be excluded from the review.

The search strategy will be improved and finalized based on the results of the primary search. Data extraction of the included articles will be performed by two researchers using the Zotero and review manager (revMan) software. The heterogeneity of the articles will be assessed using DerSimonian & Laird Q test and I2 statistic.
