A burn injury event and subsequent hospitalization are potentially distressing for children. To elucidate the child’s experience of pediatric burn injury, children’s reflections on the burn event and its aftermath were examined. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight children (12–17 years old). Using thematic analysis, interview transcripts were coded and codes were combined into overarching categories. Three categories were identified: vivid memories; the importance of parental support; psychosocial impact and coping. Implications for care are discussed in terms of assessing children’s appraisals, paying attention to the parent’s role, and preparing families for potential psychological barriers after discharge.

This qualitative study explored the parental support of K-12 students with mathematics during the COVID-19 pandemic. A digital, open-ended survey was completed by parents or caregivers to examine the role they played in their student's school day with a specific focus on the challenges and successes of mathematics learning. The survey was administered after six to eight weeks of remote instruction with at least four weeks of remote instruction remaining. Parents supported learning by teaching, facilitating, promoting independence, and providing resources. Parents mentioned several challenges and some successes during at home mathematics learning. Challenges included student motivation, lack of tools, gaps in learning, and technology access. While some parents reported no successes, others mentioned completing work, reviewing and mastering concepts, and building confidence.

This qualitative study draws from Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory, which emphasizes interaction between the systems of education. The study argues that if teachers are able to cater for diversity in their classes, the vision of inclusive education will be realized. Inclusive education requires all learners with the diverse needs to be able to access education and succeed in their schooling careers. Ten teachers who are teaching in the Foundation Phase were purposively selected to form part of the study; data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. Teachers indicated that large classes, lack of parental support, training for teachers, and social problems of the learners were making the teaching of learners with diverse needs challenging. This article focussed on the factors that are considered by teachers in the study as barriers to catering of learners with diverse needs, concluding that if teachers are provided with support, more learners will be able to sail through the system of education.

The present study focusses on exploring the impact of parental support on the academic performance of students with disabilities. A qualitative study approach was used to explore students with disabilities' perspectives of parental support and the impact it has on their academic performance. This qualitative study purposively selected eight participants. They were subjected to semi-structured, open-ended, one-on-one interviews, and these interviews were recorded using an audio recorder with their permission. The collected data was analysed using thematic content analysis. Parental support may take numerous forms, including emotional, physical, and financial assistance. As a result, parental support influences academic success and the adjustment of students living with disabilities to their new environment. However, parental knowledge, attitudes, and tolerance of a student's disability have been shown to be obstacles to meaningful parental support. This study concludes that for students with disabilities to perform to their maximum potential, parents must be trained and empowered to provide necessary support including motivating their children.

Places of worship are generally regarded as a safe place and are available to accept anyone who comes to worship or conduct activities there, including those who are less fortunate or having disability (OKU). Unfortunately, not all places of worship especially mosques or prayer rooms for Muslims in this country provide OKU-friendly infrastructure, as well as the facility or equipment that these people need in order to participate in the activities conducted at the premises concerned. Enlivening the mosque would pose positive effect on the development of the community in order to improve the quality of life of the society and the nation. This is a qualitative study which involves analytical analysis on several documents and library researches. The findings indicated different needs for OKU who are having impairment of sight, hearing, and physical disabilities. As an example, OKU with sight impair requires infrastructural facilities such as the tactile footpath while OKU with physical impair requires ramp, toilets and reserved wudhu’ places especially physical OKU using wheelchairs. The implementation challenge covers some aspects including the community’s awareness, cooperation from government, financial resources, parental support and cost-maintenance needs. It is the responsibility of all parties in cooperation with the masjid’s committee to ensure OKU-friendly equipment are always well-maintained and preserved. Abstrak   Tempat  ibadah  secara  umumnya  dianggap  sebagai  tempat yang selamat  dan  sedia  menerima sesiapa  sahaja  datang  untuk  beribadah  atau  melakukan  urusan  di  sana,  termasuk  golongan kurang  upaya  atau  mengalami  kecacatan.  Malangnya,  tidak  semua  tempat  ibadah  khususnya masjid  atau  surau  untuk  umat  Islam  di  negara  ini  menyediakan  prasarana  mesra  OKU,  serta kemudahan  peralatan  yang  diperlukan  mereka  untuk  bersama  mengikuti  aktiviti  di  premis berkenaan.Memakmurkan masjid mempunyai kesan positif bagi pembinaan masyarakat dalam rangka  peningkatan  kualiti  hidup  masyarakat  dan  negara. Kajian  ini  dilaksanakan  secara kualitatif  yang  melibatkan  analisis  secara  analitikal  terhadap  beberapa  dokumen  dan  kajian kepustakaan.   Dapatan   menyatakan   keperluan   berbeza   untuk   OKU   Penglihatan,   OKU  Pendengaran, OKU fizikal adalah berbeza sebagai contoh OKU Penglihatan lebih memerlukan kemudahan  prasarana  seperti  laluan  penjalan  kaki  bertekstur manakala  OKU  Fizikal  memerlukan ramp, tandas dan tempat wudhu’ khas terutama OKU fizikal yang menggunakan kerusi roda.

Abstract Background Video gaming is one of the main recreational activities of children and adolescents. The American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization recently proposed diagnostic criteria for a pathological use of video games. The objective is to explore the perceptions of adolescents concerning pathological video game use. Methods Qualitative study by semi structured individual interviews in the homes of adolescent gamers and non-gamers living in southwest France. The sampling was theoretical. The analysis was carried out using an inductive approach following the phases of thematic analysis. The researchers used triangulation. Collection was concluded when theoretical saturation had been reached. Results 17 adolescents aged 10–18 were interviewed between April 2018 and March 2019. The adolescents recognised that video games use can be pathological. Deleterious consequences to physical, mental, and social wellbeing associated with gaming were discussed. Mental health, family and social environments, and the type of game seemed to influence the transition from recreational to pathological video-game use. The adolescents agreed on the need to regulate their gaming, particularly through parental control and self-control. Conclusions Risks and protective factors related to the types of video game, the adolescent, and the environment were identified. Parental support would help lower the risk of pathological gaming.

AbstractAn increasing number of jurisdictions now facilitate transitions for trans and non-binary youth (TNBY), allowing them to legally change their name and gender marker and providing medical gender-affirming care to support transition needs. The literature demonstrates the benefits of such measures in reducing adverse mental health outcomes. Strong parental support is also identified as key to TNBY thriving. But studies also show that parents may struggle to accept their child’s identity during transition and beyond, rendering this life stage particularly challenging for both parents and TNBY. This qualitative project traces the experiences of TNBY and their parents as they evolve from the discovery of diverse gender identity to affirmation. Participants were recruited through three Canadian specialty clinics offering gender-affirming care and interviews were conducted separately with 36 dyads of trans youth and one of their parents, for a total of 72 interviews. Data reveal notable differences between the experiences of TNBY and that of their parents. Many TNBY began questioning their gender secretly, waiting to be sure of it before disclosing it to parents. While coming out was often a relief for TNBY, it was experienced differently for their parents, who often struggled to accept their child’s identity even while outwardly showing support. However, we found that TNBY and their parents were able to bridge this gap by engaging in the transition process together. Because TNBY’s experiences of realization and affirmation differ from those of their parents, we reiterate the importance of centering TNBY voices when attempting to understand their experience.
