ABSTRACT Studies characterizing Orthostatic Intolerance (OI) have primarily focused on a specific subtype (e.g., Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, POTS) treated in tertiary care, yet many with impairing symptoms do not meet subtype criteria. Study 1 used structured coding of electronic medical records to explore symptoms and impairment among 226 youth with OI in a common care setting (outpatient cardiology) over a 1-year period. Impairment was evident for 54.7% of youth. Greater impairment was associated with female gender, higher number and frequency of symptoms, and specific symptoms of headache, weakness, or exercise intolerance. Study 2 examined symptoms, functional disability, and treatment interest in a subset of youth from Study 1 (n = 75); data were collected 1–2 years after initial visit via phone interview. Fifty-six percent of participants remained symptomatic, with mean disability exceeding “substantial impairment” and most (78.6%) expressing desire for treatment. Greater disability was associated with more symptoms and the symptom of weakness. Critically, disability was more than twice as high among racial and ethnic minority youth. Results suggest that OI impairment is common among youth in secondary care, and many experience symptoms warranting treatment 1–2 years later. Future studies should identify sources of health disparities and develop efficacious treatments.

ABSTRACT Schools are an ideal setting for asthma education programs as they can reach many children. However, it is unknown if school-based asthma education programs in the United States (US) reduce acute care services. This scoping review sought to identify whether school-based asthma education programs lead to improved acute care services. Overall, the evidence provides provisional support that school-based asthma education programs can reduce acute care utilization and may be a potential treatment intervention. Future research is needed to determine more definitive conclusions about the effectiveness of school-based asthma education programs and which components yield significant changes.

ABSTRACT Maternal drug use causes low birthweight but less is known about longer-term pediatric growth. The purpose of this analysis was to longitudinally measure anthropometric growth among children exposed to drugs in utero. We used data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)-funded Maternal Lifestyle Study (MLS). Mixed effects piecewise regression longitudinally assessed BMI percentile from 2–16 years. Those born low birthweight prenatally exposed to poly tobacco/opioid use had lower pediatric BMI percentiles than those unexposed from 2–16 years. Specific combinations of drug use appear to delay or accelerate growth across childhood at different points for those born low birthweight.

ABSTRACT This study examined relations between parent coping and parent-, patient-, and sibling- reported sibling relationship quality (SRQ) during pediatric cancer. A sample of 156 parents, 103 patients, and 104 siblings completed questionnaires. Results demonstrated parents’ adaptive coping was positively associated with parent-reported sibling warmth and negatively associated with sibling dominance. Parents’ dismissive ES beliefs were inversely related to sibling warmth and positively related to conflict. Analyses indicated when parents’ emotion coaching beliefs were high, parents’ adaptive coping was positively related to parent-reported sibling warmth. Findings begin to elucidate family processes that may affect SRQ in families of pediatric oncology patients.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to describe Certified Child Life Specialists’ (CCLSs) perspectives on their role and the benefits of their role during pediatric sexual assault forensic examinations (PSAFEs). Using a structured interview, discussed roles included preparing the patient for and supporting the patient during the examination and supporting the multidisciplinary team. Perceived benefits of child life services included increasing patient coping and completion of the examination, decreasing re-traumatization, and minimizing parent stress. The findings highlight how CCLSs feel they support the emotional safety of PSAFE patients and families. Thus, healthcare programs providing PSAFEs should consider staffing a CCLS.

ABSTRACT EoE symptoms and treatments place affected children at risk for reduced quality of life. Yet relatively little is known about the factors that affect health related quality of life (HRQoL) in youth with EoE. This study examined symptom burden and HRQoL in 267 children and adolescents with EoE. Pain catastrophizing was significantly related to both EoE symptom reports and HRQoL (p < .001). Further, children with significantly elevated psychological symptom reports experienced more symptom burden and worse HRQoL (p < .001). Effective health care for children with EoE includes addressing quality of life, psychological symptoms, and maladaptive pain cognitions when present, in addition to managing inflammation.

ABSTRACT This study has aimed to evaluate the relationship between preschool attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and emotional abuse. Fifty-six children with ADHD aged 5 and 6 years and their mothers, and sixty-five children without a diagnosis of ADHD and their mothers have been included in this study. ADHD symptomatology and emotional abuse potential of mothers have been assessed by the Conners’ Parent Rating Scale-Revised-Short Form (CPRS-RS) and the Scale for Emotional Abuse Potential of Parents with Children Aged 3 to 6 (SEAPP-C3-6) respectively. Mothers of children with ADHD had significantly higher causal sub-dimension scores of SEAPP-C3-6 than that of the mothers of the controls. The higher emotional abuse potential scores of mothers have been significantly associated with higher Conners scores, male gender, disruptive behavior disorders comorbidity, low income and parental education level and parental psychopathology. This study has revealed that preschool ADHD is an important risk factor for emotional abuse. Clinicians shall be aware of the emotional abuse potential among children with ADHD.

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between social media addiction and learning burnout and the mediating role of interpersonal alienation in the relationship between social media addiction and learning burnout among Chinese middle school students. The study investigates 2095 junior high school students in Zhuhai, China through a web-based questionnaire survey. The study results showed that (1) adolescent social media addiction significantly and positively influenced learning burnout and interpersonal alienation, and (2) adolescent interpersonal alienation mediated the relationship between social media addiction and learning burnout.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to verify the moderation of sociodemographic factors in the association of weight status with physical activity of 2347 students, both male and female, aged between 11 and 15 years. This study is a cross-sectional correlational descriptive epidemiological survey. We collected body mass measurements, height, gender, age, work, housing, type of residence, parent’s education, economic class, and physical activity level. Poisson regression with 95% confidence intervals was used for the association analyses. 33.2% of the students were overweight, and 52.3% were considered active, the highest proportion being boys (64.1%). Overweight girls who do not work (PR = 1,29; CI95% = 1,09–1,53), normal-weight girls who work (PR = 1,83; CI95% = 1,31–2,57), and overweight girls who have a father with ≥ 8 years of education (PR = 1,47; CI95% = 1,14–1,91) were more likely to be active. However, normal-weight girls aged 13 to 15 years were less likely to be active (PR = 0,59; CI95% = 0,48–0,73). We conclude that age, work, and father’s education variables influenced the relationship between weight status and adolescents’ level of physical activity. Future research needs to understand the relationship between weight status and physical activity and the moderating role of sociodemographic factors to identify the characteristics of Brazilian adolescents and what leads them to be inactive.

ABSTRACT This study examined how nursing students’ training status and their anxiety impacts their assessment of children’s pain. The sample included 100 psychology undergraduate students, 87 beginning nursing students, and 35 advanced nursing students. Participants watched a video of a child receive a finger stick and then rated their own state anxiety and the child’s pain via visual analog scales. Advanced nursing training was related to lower anxiety, which in turn, was related to lower pain ratings. These findings augment our understanding of how nursing training influences personal anxiety during pediatric needle procedures, which may impact pediatric pain ratings.
