Youth Activity

Many youth programs focused on improving health outcomes have not examined parent/caregiver perceptions postparticipation even though they may significantly influence youth behaviors. The primary purpose of this study was to examine changes in adult perceptions of youth- and family-related behavior after youth participated in a 12-week out-of-school time food preparation, nutrition, and physical activity program with a treatment only design. A secondary objective was to assess differences in survey responses by demographic characteristics. The program targeted fourth- and fifth-grade youth at two Title I elementary schools while also engaging families. Pre- and postprogram surveys were administered to parent/caregivers ( n = 60) across four cohorts spanning the spring 2016 school semester to fall 2017 school semester. Adult demographic characteristics and perceptions of youth- and family-related outcomes were collected. Results demonstrated a significant increase ( p value <.05) in adults’ perceptions of their youth’s ability to choose healthy snacks and decrease screen time. Additionally, lower income adults reported increased youth sedentary habits, adults using food assistance reported decreased family breakfast frequency, and adults with smaller household sizes reported decreased youth activity before school. Further research is needed on adult and family outcomes from youth cooking programs to better understand the adult and youth health relationship and encourage obesity prevention programs to increase their focus on the family component and associated assessments.

Background: Conservative treatment is the first-line approach for Müller-Weiss disease (MWD). However, factors associated with the failure of conservative treatment have never been reported. Our objectives were to compare the differences in demographic and radiographic parameters between “successful” and “failure” conservative treatment in patients with MWD and identify descriptive factors associated with failure conservative treatment. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 68 patients with MWD divided into 29 “failure” and 39 “successful” conservative treatment groups. Demographic characteristics, Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain and walking disability, and radiographic parameters such as calcaneal pitch, lateral Meary, anteroposterior (AP) Meary angle, and talonavicular-naviculocuneiform arthritis were compared. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify descriptive factors of failure conservative treatment. A P value <.05 was considered a statistically significant difference. Results: We found more severe VAS pain and walking disability scores and FAOS for the pain, activities of daily living, and quality of life subscales in the failure group ( P < .05). Regression analysis demonstrated 2 significant descriptive factors associated with failure conservative treatment: abducted AP Meary angle >13.0 degrees and radiographic talonavicular arthritis. No demographic characteristics were found to be associated with failure conservative treatment. Conclusion: Midfoot abduction (AP Meary angle, >13 degrees) and radiographic talonavicular arthritis were factors associated with failure conservative treatment in MWD and should be determined concurrently with the clinical severity. Classification systems for MWD should include these factors. Level of evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Head injury is any cases that caused high disability and mortallity rate. In neurology, head injury occupies the first squence and become the main of health problem to most youth, health and productive peoples. The treatment of head injury treatment is to prevent damage of brain cells by adequate oxygenation. The objective of the research was to find out the influence of giving oxygent therapy by using non-rebreathing mask (NRM) towards changing of partial pressure CO2 (PaCO2) value to head injury patients in ICU room of H. Adam Malik Hospital Medan. The research used the quasi experiment method with time series design. The samples were 10 respondents, taken by purpossive sampling technique. The instrument of the research was observation sheet. The result of the research showed that before given the oxygent therapy by using nonrebreathing mask (NRM), 5 respondents (50%) had normal blood pH value, 6 respondents (60%) had low blood HCO3- value, and 6 respondents (60%) had normal blood PaCO2 value. After given oxygent therapy found that 5 respondents (50%) had low blood pH value, 6 respondents (60%) had low blood HCO3- value, and 7 respondents (70%) had low blood PaCO2 value. The result of statistic analyze with T-Test was found significant influence of changing PaCO2 value with p value = 0,000 (p<0,05). The reduction of PaCO2 value is followed by increasing of blood pH value and reduction of blood HCO3- value. Using of non-rebreathing mask (NRM) is only effective for head injury patients with high blood PaCO2.

AbstractVictimization experiences, including traditional forms of bullying, discriminatory harassment, and cyber victimization, are associated with numerous detrimental consequences in adolescence and over the life course. The objective of the current study was to understand the relationships between nine experiences of victimization and mental health outcomes among students in grades 7 to 12 in Manitoba, Canada. Data were drawn from the 2012–2013 Manitoba Youth Health Survey (N = 64,174; response rate = 67%). Mental health outcomes included mental health functioning and emotional well-being, and feelings of sadness and hopelessness. The prevalence of moderate/languishing mental health functioning and emotional well-being ranged from 35.2% (boys in grades 7 to 9) to 51.0% (girls in grades 10 to 12). The prevalence of feeling sad and hopeless ranged from 31.4% (boys in grades 7 to 9) to 57.7% (girls in grades 10 to 12). All nine victimization types were associated with increased odds of having moderate/languishing mental health functioning and emotional well-being and feeling sad and hopeless for both boys and girls in grades 7 to 9 and 10 to 12, although some gender and grade differences were noted. A dose-response trend was found with increased odds of moderate/languishing mental health functioning and emotional well-being corresponding with increased frequency of being victimized. A similar trend was noted for girls only for feeling sad and hopeless. Effective prevention and intervention strategies targeting boys and girls and across grades 7 to 12 are needed to improve mental health functioning and emotional well-being, and reduce feelings of sadness and hopelessness among adolescents with victimization experiences.

Current Classification System

The purpose of this exploratory study was to evaluate opinions of elite athletes, coaches and classifiers regarding the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation’s (IWBF) functional classification system. We were also interested in the athletes’ perspective regarding potential changes to the classification system. In addition, we compared the generalized opinions reported by the athletes to those of coaches and classification officers. This survey was administered during the Wheelchair Basketball Gold Cup (Amsterdam, 2006). Seventy-nine athletes, 50 men and 29 women, as well as 12 coaches and 14 classifiers completed the survey. The first part of the survey addressed demographic characteristics of the participants. The second part focused on their opinions regarding the current classification system. Based on the survey responses, athletes reported that the IWBF classification system is generally satisfactory. However, athletes as well as coaches and classification officers did report some specific concerns about this classification system. These concerns included changes in an athlete classification, athlete cheating and communication between classifiers and athletes. Athletes, coaches and classifiers, as the wheelchair basketball’s primary constituent groups, have a vested interest in the evolution of the game and should be included in the evaluation and modifications to the functional classification system. This study has demonstrated that a classification specific survey could&nbsp;provide useful information and insight into the perspectives of these constituent groups.

Abstract Objective A systematic review of mental health outcomes and needs of children and families during past pandemics was conducted based on the PRISMA protocol. The objectives were to evaluate the quality of existing studies on this topic, determine what is known about mental health outcomes and needs of children and families, and provide recommendations for how COVID-19 policies can best support children and families. Methods Seventeen studies were identified through a search of PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Results Studies examining child outcomes indicate that social isolation and quarantining practices exert a substantial negative impact on child anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and fear symptoms. Potential risk factors such as living in rural areas, being female, and increasing grade level may exacerbate negative mental health outcomes for children. Studies examining parental and family outcomes indicate that parents experience high stress, anxiety, and financial burden during pandemics. The age of the parent and family socioeconomic status (SES) appeared to mitigate negative outcomes, where older parents and higher SES families had lower rates of mental health problems. Parents’ fear over the physical and mental health of their children, concerns over potential job loss and arranging childcare contributes to elevated stress and poorer well-being. Conclusions Findings from this review suggest current gaps in COVID-19 policies and provide recommendations such implementing “family-friendly” policies that are inclusive and have flexible eligibility criteria. Examples include universal paid sick leave for parents and financial supports for parents who are also frontline workers and are at an elevated risk for contracting the disease.

Given the medical home model of care’s (MHMOC) potential to reduce disparities in health care, this study determined the relationship between MHMOC, MHMOC indicators, and (1) demographic characteristics and (2) health outcomes in US children. Caregivers (n = 50 212) of children 0 to 17 years completed the 2016 National Survey of Children’s Health. The MHMOC measure comprised 5 indicators (e.g., having a personal doctor/nurse and receiving family-centered care). Bivariate and multiple logistic regressions assessed the relationships between MHMOC, MHMOC indicators, and (1) demographic characteristics and (2) health outcomes. Approximately 49% of the children were served in a MHMOC. MHMOC and MHMOC indicators were related to race, ethnicity, nativity, caregiver education, federal poverty level, insurance type, and predicted health outcomes. These findings suggest that children most in need of MHMOC are less likely to be served in them. Thus, the current distribution of MHMOC likely contributes to greater disparities in care.

One approach that has been successful at improving youth health outcomes is the Shaping Healthy Choices Program, which features garden- and cooking-demonstration-based nutrition education curricula. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of implementing Shaping Healthy Choices Program curricula in 4-H using a teenagers as cross-age teachers approach. A teenagers as cross-age teachers model was employed to educate younger youth using the evidence-based curricula in 2 projects, each lasting 6 months over a 2-year period. Teenage teachers completed an initial 2-day training and reflection-on-action discussions following each educational session. Fidelity observations were collected to assess how well the curricula were delivered by teenage teachers. With a goal of 80%, overall fidelity was low (45%) and teenage teachers were able to deliver only the procedure component of the lessons with adequate average fidelity (84.6%). Poor participant attendance hindered presentation of additional data. Findings from this study suggest a need for more extensive and specific training for teenage teachers to implement the Shaping Healthy Choices Program.

Background: Male involvement in reproductive health (RH) services in Africa has been associated with improved maternal and child health outcomes. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and factors affecting male partner attendance to available reproductive health services in Shinyanga district, north-western Tanzania.Methods: A house to house survey using a structured questionnaire was conducted among randomly selected married men. Additional in-depth interviews were conducted among married men found attending RH services. Factors that motivates the uptake of locally available RH services together with their partners were explored.Results: A total of 204 men participated in the study, 94.4 % (193/204) of them reported to have ever attended the RH service with their female partners at least once whereas 50.6% (103/204) of them attended at least thrice. Three quarters (154/204) attended HIV counselling and testing (VCT) and 63% (129/204) attended antenatal services (ANC). Reported attendance to sexually transmitted infections (STIs/STDs), prevention of HIV transmission from mother to child (PMTCT), and reproductive health cancer services were all less than 13%.  The male partners age group (25-34 years; χ2=9.347, df =3 p-value < 0.001), female partner invitation to HR services (χ2= 29.901, df=1, p-value <0.001) and having less than 2 children (χ2= 6.201, df= 2, p-value < 0.05) were associated with higher RH service attendance. Only 20% (4/20) of married men attended RH because they expected better health outcomes in their presence whilst majority attended because they were summoned or just happen to be at the clinic for other purposes.Conclusion: The male attendance to RH services together with their female partners’ in rural Shinyanga was mainly focused ANC and VCT. Most of men attended because were verbally invited by their partners. Education on couple communication empowerment among women attending RH clinics could sustainably improve attendance to all RH services.
