Recognition of Immigrant and Minority Parent Knowledge

A standardized questionnaire was used to assess knowledge about cystic fibrosis in 28 patients with cystic fibrosis (aged 10 to 21 years) and in the parents of 25 of these patients. Knowledge of disease pathophysiology and treatment was generally comprehensive and detailed; knowledge of the genetics was fair. However, there were conspicuous deficits in the awareness of reproductive risks and of male sterility. Significant predictors of patient knowledge were patient age, sex, and educational level and parental age. Predictors of parent knowledge were Shwachman score, socioeconomic status, and sex of responding parent. Patients rely heavily on parents for information about cystic fibrosis. More than one third of both patients and parents sought more information about the disease and its implications.

The data found in the Manando Minanga Malalayang Public Health Center in the last year from January to December 2017 were 364 cases. One of the factors that causes ARI in children is mother's knowledge. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of parental knowledge with health behaviors in children with ARI. This type of research is observational analytic conducted on 36 respondents. The measuring instrument used is a questionnaire. Hypothesis testing used Chi-Square (x²) with a significance level (α) <0.05, and a significant level> 95%. The results of the study found that from 17 respondents who had less knowledge of ARI with less behavior there were 11 respondents (30.5%) and 6 respondents (2.16%) knowledge of parents with sufficient behavior. Of the 19 respondents who had good knowledge but lack of health behavior there was 1 respondent (0.36%), good parental knowledge but enough behavior there were 7 respondents (2.52) and good parental knowledge and good behavior there were 11 respondents (30, 5).

Falling Asleep

Abstract Introduction Children aged 5 to 12 years old needs, at least, 10-11 hours of sleep. Nowadays, children under 6 years old become more interested in TV, computers and in Internet which can lead to difficulty falling asleep. Parent knowledge about child sleep hygiene can influence parent capacity to promote healthy sleep habits, and should be supported by accurate information. Objectives To analyse parents knowledge of children sleep practices. Methodology A convenience sample of parents (n = 201) of children from three schools in a northern city of Portugal completed the "Sleep Ideas" Parent Survey on child sleep habits and parental basic sleep knowledge, beliefs and attitudes regarding sleep as a health behaviour. Results Of the 201 analysed surveys (response rate 67 %), 33.8 % are from parents of children aged under 3 years old, 19.4 % of children with 3 years older, 24.4 % of children with 4 years old, 16.4 % of children with 5 years old and 6.0 % of children with 6 years old. In general, the percentage of correct answers was 84.8 %. Regarding children age, the percentage of correct answers ranged between 77.9 to 86.2 %, being the parents of children with 6 years old those who had the highest percentage of incorrect answers (22.1 %) and, on the other hand, the parents of children with 3 years old those who had the lowest percentage of incorrect answers (13.8 %). The answer with the highest percentage of incorrect answers, in all parents, was “Making a physical effort before going to sleep makes falling asleep easier” (46.8 %). Conclusion In this study, parents revealed a very reasonable knowledge about sleep, which suggests a good capability to influence positively children’s habits. Parents with high sleep knowledge are more able to promote healthy sleep hygiene habits. Further studies are warranted to promote a better understanding of all the determinant dimensions for good sleeping habits.

Objective:This study investigated the feasibility of delivering health-related short text messages to parents with the goal of reducing obesity risk among their children aged 3–5 years.Design:Quasi-experimental design involving one experimental group of 17 parents.Setting:Rural American Indian reservation.Methods:During the 5-week intervention period, parents received 3 topic-related text messages each week for a total of 15 messages. The topics focused on included nutrition, physical activity (PA), sleep, consumption of sugary beverages, TV viewing and screen time. Outcomes included assessments of feasibility including retention rates; delivery, receipt and response to text messages; and programme satisfaction. Pre- to posttest changes in parent knowledge of health behaviours associated with childhood obesity and parent report of these health behaviours in their child were also assessed.Results:A total of 100% (17/17) of the participants completed the study and final assessments. All texts ( n = 289) sent to participants were successfully delivered. Of the 85 texts that requested a response, parents responded to 91% (78/85) by answering the question. All participants reported they found the texts easy to understand. A total of 94% (16/17) of participants reported enjoying the frequency with which they received messages. At the end of the study, parents reported improved overall child health behaviours that approached statistical significance ( p = .051) and parents reported significantly improved behaviours related to PA and sleep ( p = .046). No significant differences were found for changes in parent knowledge.Conclusion:Findings suggest it is feasible to deliver a text messaging-based childhood obesity prevention intervention to parents of young children living on a rural American Indian reservation. Text messages were appreciated by parents and may influence child health behaviours associated with childhood obesity.
