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.

ABSTRACT Summer campers often require access to medications. However, little is known about the types of medications administered in camps. We used a data set from a camp-specific electronic records system that contained all campers’ medications. We developed a coding book and classified medications based on drug type, mechanism, and indication. Data were available on 163,853 medications from 75,072 campers. Health care providers need to be aware of the vast quantity and wide spectrum of medications dispensed in summer camps and should find opportunities to advocate for the adoption of best-practice safety guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of campers.

ABSTRACT Adolescents with Type 1 diabetes experience anxiety symptoms specifically related to the self-management of diabetes. The purpose of this study is to describe the initial psychometric testing of the Anxiety Symptoms in Diabetes Scale in Adolescents (ASDS-A), a 14-item instrument designed to measure diabetes-specific anxiety. Following an in-depth qualitative study, items were identified and reviewed by experts, and remaining items were tested in 146 adolescents. A PCA indicated a single dimension (Eigenvalue, 6.106) with a Cronbach’s α of .896, leaving a 14-item measure. There is strong evidence that the ASDS-A is a developing reliable and valid measure of diabetes-specific anxiety.

ABSTRACT Children in foster care are at risk from fragmented care, delayed access, medical complexity, and increased mental health needs. We studied health care expenditures for children in foster care managed by a Patient-Centered Medical Home foster care specialty clinic (Fresh Start). We used Alabama Medicaid claims data from 2016 to 2018 to compare the costs incurred by 75 pediatric patients managed by Fresh Start with 75 matched children in foster care. Compared to their matched controls, the average total expenditures of Fresh Start children were lower by $536 (p = .02, 95% CI [−1008, −63]), primary care expenditures were lower by $171 (p = .09, 95% CI [−371, 28]), and pharmacy expenditures were lower by $63 (p = .02, IQR = 598). Reduced expenditures identified among children managed by the Fresh Start PCMH may represent more access to care coordination, behavioral health services, and trauma-informed care, with more pronounced effects on primary care and pharmacy costs.

ABSTRACT Children with neurodevelopmental disorders commonly have sleep problems and higher screen time compared with their typically developing peers. Relationships of their media use to sleep are unknown during the COVID-19 pandemic. Seventy-five caregivers/parents of children ages 5–12 years with neurodevelopmental disorders completed surveys during the pandemic, reporting average child media use of 3.35 hours/day (SD = 0.36) and sleep duration of 9.22 hours (SD = 1.27). Media use duration was not significantly related to any sleep outcomes in the total sample. Unexpectedly, in subgroup analyses with COVID-19 exposure/distress variables, greater media use duration significantly related to less sleep-related impairment (p = .012) and disturbance (p = .0004). Clinical implications are that media use/sleep plans should be individually tailored for these at-risk children.

ABSTRACT Without the structure and schedule of traditional activities such as in-person school and socialization, evidence is emerging of pediatric sleep changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. A narrative review was conducted of the sleep literature during the pandemic for preschoolers, school-aged children, and adolescents. Changes in sleep and risk and protective factors for sleep heath during the COVID-19 pandemic are reviewed along with real-life clinical case examples for each developmental period. Given the high rates of pediatric sleep disturbance, clinicians, researchers, and policymakers should refine screening strategies and facilitate referrals for behavioral interventions to support sleep health during pandemics and other natural disasters.

ABSTRACT The aim of our study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Turkish adaptation of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale for children and adolescents (ESS-CHAD). We evaluated internal consistency, test−retest reliability, construct validity, and criterion validity of the ESS-CHAD in the sample of 145 children with a mean age of 14.58 (±1.44), consisting of 53.1% females. Confirmatory factor analysis showed an 8-item unidimensional structure of the scale. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.74; the correlation coefficients for test−retest reliability and criterion validity were 0.96 and 0.85, respectively (p’s< .05). Our study presented the first evidence to establish the validity and reliability of the ESS-CHAD for Turkish children aged 12 − 18 years.
