This study is entitled Optimizing the Five Aspects of Child Development Through the Advanced Development of the Educational Instrument of Snakes and Ladders which is a follow-up study in the previous year (multi years). The research method used is Research and Development (R&D), which is a research method used to produce certain products and test the effectiveness of these products (Sugiyono, 2012). Validation of measurement tools and modules is done in two ways, namely: Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and module validation (content validity) is done by Professional Judgment. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the preparation of the Ladder Snake APE can be said to be valid to stimulate five aspects of child development with the results of 40% validator stating that the APE is suitable for stimulating five aspects of child development, and 60% states that the APE is very suitable for stimulating the five aspects of child development. While for the preparation of the APE Snake Ladder Module, it can also be said to be valid with the results of the 67% assessment of the validator stating that the module is very suitable and 33% of the validator stating that the module is appropriate. The output produced in this study is in the form of APE Snakes and Ladders products to stimulate five aspects of child development, the use of APE modules, and the National Journal of ISSN.

Trata-se de uma reflexão sobre o mundo da criança na perspectiva do lúdico no cuidado de enfermagem. O cuidado, enquanto arte e ciência, tem a possibilidade de buscar estratégias diferenciadas para cuidar da criança no seu processo de desenvolvimento; neste sentido, considera-se o cuidar lúdico uma alternativa ao encontro das concepções humanísticas da enfermagem. Inicialmente, faz-se uma reflexão sobre o significado do lúdico na infância. A seguir, aborda-se o mundo da criança e o cuidado de enfermagem no desenvolvimento infantil. Encerra-se com algumas considerações destacando a importância do lúdico no cuidado à criança.NURSING CARE IN THE ADVENTURE OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT: REFLEXIONS ON THE PLAY IN THE CHILD WORLDAbstractThis is a reflexion on the child world in perspective of play in the Nursing Care. The Care as Art and Science has the possibility of searching different strategies to take care of the child in her development process; in this sense one considers the game care as na alternative to the meeting of humanist concepts in Nursing. Initially one makes a reflexion on the meaning of game in childhood. As a follow up one approaches the child world and the Nursing Care in the child development. One ends with some considerations showing up the importance of play in the child care.

summary We have piloted a monthly series of multidisciplinary case discussions via videoconference in the area of child development. The project provided a forum for clinical discussion of complex cases, peer review, professional development and networking for allied health professionals and paediatricians. Six sites in Queensland participated in the project; each site presented at least one case for discussion. The videoconferences ran for 90 min each and were attended by an average of 26 health professionals. The response rate for a questionnaire survey was 71%. The respondents rated the effectiveness of case summaries and the follow-up newsletter very positively. Despite some early difficulties with the technical aspects of videoconferencing, the evaluation demonstrated the participants’ satisfaction with the project and its relevance to their everyday practice.

Background Lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) and corn–soy blends (CSBs) with varying soy and milk content are used in treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM). We assessed the impact of these supplements on child development. Methods and findings We conducted a randomised 2 × 2 × 3 factorial trial to assess the effectiveness of 12 weeks’ supplementation with LNS or CSB, with either soy isolate or dehulled soy, and either 0%, 20%, or 50% of protein from milk, on child development among 6–23-month-old children with MAM. Recruitment took place at 5 health centres in Province du Passoré, Burkina Faso between September 2013 and August 2014. The study was fully blinded with respect to soy quality and milk content, while study participants were not blinded with respect to matrix. This analysis presents secondary trial outcomes: Gross motor, fine motor, and language development were assessed using the Malawi Development Assessment Tool (MDAT). Of 1,609 children enrolled, 54.7% were girls, and median age was 11.3 months (interquartile range [IQR] 8.2–16.0). Twelve weeks follow-up was completed by 1,548 (96.2%), and 24 weeks follow-up was completed by 1,503 (93.4%); follow-up was similar between randomised groups. During the study, 4 children died, and 102 children developed severe acute malnutrition (SAM). There was no difference in adverse events between randomised groups. At 12 weeks, the mean MDAT z-scores in the whole cohort had increased by 0.33 (95% CI: 0.28, 0.37), p < 0.001 for gross motor; 0.26 (0.20, 0.31), p < 0.001 for fine motor; and 0.14 (0.09, 0.20), p < 0.001 for language development. Children had larger improvement in language z-scores if receiving supplements with milk (20%: 0.09 [−0.01, 0.19], p = 0.08 and 50%: 0.11 [0.01, 0.21], p = 0.02), although the difference only reached statistical significance for 50% milk. Post hoc analyses suggested that this effect was specific to boys (interaction p = 0.02). The fine motor z-scores were also improved in children receiving milk, but only when 20% milk was added to CSB (0.18 [0.03, 0.33], p = 0.02). Soy isolate over dehulled soy increased language z-scores by 0.07 (−0.01, 0.15), p = 0.10, although not statistically significant. Post hoc analyses suggested that LNS benefited gross motor development among boys more than did CSB (interaction p = 0.04). Differences between supplement groups did not persist at 24 weeks, but MDAT z-scores continued to increase post-supplementation. The lack of an unsupplemented control group limits us from determining the overall effects of nutritional supplementation for children with MAM. Conclusions In this study, we found that child development improved during and after supplementation for treatment of MAM. Milk protein was beneficial for language and fine motor development, while suggested benefits related to soy quality and supplement matrix merit further investigation. Supplement-specific effects were not found post-intervention, but z-scores continued to improve, suggesting a sustained overall effect of supplementation. Trial registration ISRCTN42569496

Abstract Background Early childhood caries (ECC) has reached epidemic proportions affecting millions of children worldwide. Its prevention becomes imperative owing to the significant morbidity and financial implications involved with its treatment. The Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS), launched in India to provide mid-day meals, pre-school education and primary healthcare to children, can be utilised to counsel and deliver oral health education to mothers. The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of an oral health care package (OHCP) with usual care on the change in dental disease status among 1 to 3-year-old children at Anganwadi centres (AWC) in periurban areas of Chandigarh and rural areas of Cuttack, Orissa over a follow-up period of three years. Methods Two geographically distant ICDS blocks would be selected at each of the two study sites and would be randomly allocated to intervention and control group. Closely located AWCs under each of the selected blocks shall constitute the study setting. OHCP would be delivered to the mothers of the 1–6-year-old children enrolled in the AWCs of the experimental group whereas mothers under control group would receive usual care advice available at the AWCs. Discussion ECC prevention had conventionally focused upon testing effectiveness of programs targeting behaviour change among the caregivers and children, but surprisingly minimal efforts have been made to seek translation of these efforts into reduction of ECC at the community level. The present study has two components; testing effect of altering maternal and child behavioral aspects on ECC incidence through cohort follow up of 1–3-year-old children for three consecutive years and cross-sectional follow up of all available 1–6-year old children at the selected AWCs at regular intervals to look for change in prevalence of ECC at community level. In other regions of the world surveys of ECC prevalence before and after the intensive educational programs have shown a significant reduction in ECC prevalence. A similar decline can be anticipated through this program. Trial registration This trial has been prospectively registered at Clinical Trials Registry, India (CTRI/2019/02/017556, 08 February 2019).
