Therapeutic Massage

The objective of this study was to assess pediatric health providers’ attitudes, experience, and referral patterns with respect to therapeutic massage and acupuncture (TM&A). A written survey of experience with and attitudes about TM&A was distributed to a convenience sample of pediatric health care providers attending a regional postgraduate course in April 2002. Bivariate analyses were performed using Fisher’s exact test and the chisquare statistic. Pediatric care providers’ practices of referring patients to TM&A were associated with their own familiarity with and prior use of TM&A as well as their professed comfort level in discussing these modalities. There were no significant differences by professional status, gender, or years in practice in 42% of the respondents who reported making TM&A referrals. Pediatric health care providers’practices in referring patients for TM&A are positively associated with their familiarity with and personal use of TM&A.

Legacy building interventions like plaster hand molds are offered in most children’s hospitals, yet little is known about how the concept of legacy is understood and described by pediatric health care providers. Therefore, this study explored pediatric health care providers’ perceptions of legacy at an academic medical center to ensure that future legacy interventions are evidence-informed and theoretically grounded. An electronic survey featuring three open-ended questions and two multiple-choice questions with an option for free text response was completed by 172 medical and psychosocial health care providers. Analysis yielded four themes: (1) legacy is intergenerational, enduring, and typically associated with end-of-life; (2) legacies articulate the impacts on others for which one is known and remembered; (3) legacies can be expressed through tangible items or intangible qualities; and (4) legacies are informed and generated by family relationships and work experiences. By understanding legacy as a personally and professionally contextualized experience, health care providers can better assess and meet the legacy needs of hospitalized pediatric patients and families.

Superhero films have become incredibly popular. The objective of this study was to determine the positive and negative themes found in a select number of superhero films. A total of 30 superhero films were analyzed. The average numbers of positive and negative themes were 19.4 and 29.5 mean events per hour for all included films, respectively. The most common positive themes were “assisting others/protecting the public,” “positive relationships with family/friends,” and “teamwork/collaboration.” The most common negative themes were “acts of violence/fighting,” “use of guns/knives/lethal weapons,” and “bullying/intimidation/torture.” Based on the superhero films included in our study, the number of negative themes, especially acts of violence, outweighs positive themes. Although an exposure to positive themes found in superhero films may be beneficial to the development of children, pediatric health care providers should counsel children and their families in an attempt to limit their exposure to violence.
