This study aimed to explore health risk perceptions, changes in health-related behaviors, and life experiences of mothers with school-age children during the early coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Data were collected between 16 July and 10 September 2020, by individual interviews and analyzed through qualitative content analysis. After the twelve participants’ experiences were analyzed, four themes and ten sub-themes were derived. The four themes were: “Struggling to identify the substance of COVID-19,” “Taking the initiative to protect the health of the family,” “Frustrated by the brutal reality of no end in sight,” and “Trying to adjust wisely to an inevitable new lifestyle.” The findings suggest that while the world remains in an ongoing battle with COVID-19, national health institutions should prepare a health education system for specific infection prevention methods that can be practiced by individuals in daily life.

School nurses often find themselves developing health-related programs for children and adolescents. One way to create compelling and interesting programs that meet the needs of students is to include them in the planning, development, and evaluation of such programs through focus groups. Children provide a perspective about their particular needs, interests, and understandings that cannot be obtained from adults or health care professionals. When children take part in program planning, the programs become more appealing to children because of the feedback from their perspective. This article describes ways focus groups can be used to examine the effectiveness and usability of health-related programs. Included is a discussion of the pros and cons of using focus groups with school-age children for planning and evaluating programs and guidelines for conducting focus groups.

SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN AWARENESS OF THE CAUSES OF OBESITY AND ITS HEALTH RLATED OUTCOMESChaychenko T., Gonchar M., Chumachenko T., Klymenko V., Samsonenko T., Kharkova M.Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition affecting children and adolescents that can be prevented by life style modification. Therefore, school-age children awareness of the causes of obesity and its health related outcomes is very important. Subjects Methods This work is a part of the complex project “Assessment of the current nutritional status, nutrition-related health problems in school-age children in Ukraine”. The total number of participants is 392 school-age children who were grouped by the age:primary school (75 children aged 6–9), secondary school (202 children aged 10–14) and high school (115 children aged 15–18). Original questionnaire was elaborated for the survey, consisting of both multiple choice questions and “open questions” that encouraged children to give their own idea with the purpose of understanding a real awareness of the problem. Answers to the open questions about the causes and effects of obesity were assessed. Results One third of respondents regardless of age (primary school, – 29.31%, secondary school – 29.21%, high school – 33.04%, p>0.05) understood that obesity can cause serious health problems and the most detrimental changes can occur in the cardiovascular system.It was established that self-controlled situations were named as the main causatives of the obesityby more than half of surveyed children (53.33% of primary school, 53.46% of secondary school children and 41.74% high school children, p>0.05). We established that less than 10% of children were not aware of the causes of obesity and possible outcomes. Meantime, 30% of respondents were not prone to give any answer. Conclusions: Regardless of age school-children are aware of health-related problems. Special education programs are necessary for all school-age children with the purpose of developing the responsibility for the health in their adult lifeKey words: Obesity, causes of overweight, school-age children,social education program.  УСВІДОМЛЕННЯ ДІТЬМИ ШКЛЬНОГО ВІКУ ПРИЧИН ТА НАСЛІДКІВ ОЖИРІННЯ, ЩО ПОВ'ЯЗАНІ ЗІ СТАНОМ ЗДОРОВ'ЯЧайченко Т., Гончарь М., Чумаченко Т., Клименко В., Самсоненко Т., Харькова М.Ожиріння в дитячому віці є серйозним захворюванням, яке уражає дітей та підлітків, але яможе бути попереджено зміною стилю життя. Тому дуже важливо знати, ступень усвідомлення дітьми шкільного віку причин ожиріння та його наслідків, пов'язаних зі здоров'ям. Ця робота є частиною комплексного проекту «Оцінка нутріційного статусу та проблем, пов'язаних з харчуванням дітей шкільного віку в Україні». Загальна кількість учасників - 392 дітей шкільного віку, які були згруповані за віком: початкова школа (75 дітей у віці 6–9 років), середня школа (202 дитини віком 10–14 років) та старша школа (115 дітей у віці 15–18 років). Оригінальна анкета була розроблена для опитування та складається з питань типа вибору з декількох опці та «відкритих питань», які заохочували дітей давати свою власну відповідь з метою розуміння реальної обізнаності з проблеми. Оцінювалися відповіді на відкриті питання про причини та наслідки ожиріння. Третина респондентів незалежно від віку (початкова школа - 29,31%, середня школа - 29,21%, старша школа - 33,04%, p> 0,05) розуміють, що ожиріння може викликати суттєві проблеми зі здоров'ям та найбільш серйозні зміни можуть відбуватися у серцево-судинній системі. Встановлено, що самоконтрольовані ситуації були названі основними причинами ожиріння більш ніж половиною опитаних дітей (53,33% дітей початкової школи, 53,46% дітей середньої школи та 41,74% дітей старшої школи > 0,05). Ми встановили, що менше 10% дітей не усвідомлюють причини ожиріння та його можливі наслідки. Проте 30% респондентів не схильні надавати жодної відповіді. Отже, незалежно від віку школярі знають про проблеми, пов'язані зі здоров'ям, спричинені ожирінням. Спеціальні освітні програми необхідні для всіх дітей шкільного віку з метою розвитку відповідальності за здоров'я у дорослому житті.Ключові слова: Ожиріння, причини надмірної ваги, діти шкільного віку, програми соціальної освітиОСОЗНАНИЕ ДЕТЬМИ ШКОЛЬНОГО ВОЗРАСТА ПРИЧИН И ПОСЛЕДСТВИЙ ОЖИРЕНИЯ, СВЯЗАННЫХ С СОСТОЯНИЕМ ЗДОРОВЬЯЧайченко Т., Гончарь М., Чумаченко Т., Клименко В., Самсоненко Т., Харькова М.Ожирение в детском возрасте является серьезным заболеванием, которое поражает детей и подростков, но может быть предотвращено изменением образа жизни. Поэтому очень важно знать, степень осознания детьми школьного возраста причин ожирения и его последствий, связанных со здоровьем. Эта работа является частью комплексного проекта «Оценка нутриционного статуса и проблем, связанных с питанием детей школьного возраста в Украине». Общее количество участников - 392 детей школьного возраста, которые были сгруппированы по возрасту: начальная школа (75 детей в возрасте 6-9 лет), средняя школа (202 ребенка в возрасте 10-14 лет) и старшая школа (115 детей в возрасте 15-18 лет). Оригинальная анкета была разработана для опроса и состоит из вопросов типа выбора из нескольких опций «открытых вопросов», которые поощряли детей давать свой собственный ответ с целью понимания реальной осведомленности по проблеме.

Треть респондентов независимо от возраста (начальная школа - 29,31%, средняя школа - 29,21%, старшая школа - 33,04%, p <0,05) понимают, что ожирение может вызвать существенные проблемы со здоровьем и наиболее серьезные изменения могут происходить в сердечно-сосудистой системе. Установлено, что самоконтролируемые ситуации были названы основными причинами ожирения более чем половиной опрошенных детей (53,33% детей начальной школы, 53,46% детей средней школы и 41,74% детей старшей школы> 0,05). Мы установили, что менее 10% детей не осознают причины ожирения и его возможные последствия. Однако 30% респондентов склонны уходить от  ответов на вопросы. Таким образом, независимо от возраста школьники знают о проблемах, связанных со здоровьем, вызванных ожирением. Специальные образовательные программы необходимы для всех детей школьного возраста с целью формирования ответственности за здоровье во взрослой жизни.Ключевые слова: Ожирение, причины избыточного веса, дети школьного возраста, программы социального образования

Abstract Background Pain of dental origin is a major reason why school age children seek dental care in low resource settings but how it affects their oral health related quality of life and satisfaction with dental condition remains under researched. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of dental pain on oral health related quality of life as well as its association with satisfaction with dental condition of school age children in Ibadan, Nigeria.Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted among 1006 pupils aged 9-12 years who attended randomly selected primary schools in Ibadan, Nigeria. An interviewer administered questionnaire, Child–Oral Impact on Daily Performances inventory (C-OIDP) in addition to oral examination was used to obtain data. Analysis was done with SPSS version 23 and p value < 0.05 was considered significant.Results The prevalence of self-reported dental pain was 10.2%. The mean C-OIDP score was 2.6 (±7.2) overall and 9.8 (±12.4) for pupils with pain. About 68.9% of pupils with pain reported an impact on quality of life compared to 15.6% of those without dental pain (p < 0.001). Self-reported dental pain affected social, psychological and physical activities (p < 0.001). More children with dental pain (53.4%) were dissatisfied with their dental condition compared to those (12.8%) without dental pain (p < 0.001). Dental pain correlated with dissatisfaction with dental condition (rs = 0.32, p < 0.001). Among children with dental pain; those who were dissatisfied with their dental condition were more likely to report impairment in eating and enjoying food (OR=2.2, CI =1.1 - 4.1, p = 0.018) as well as in maintaining social contact (OR =3.1, CI =1.1 -9.1, p = 0.033).Conclusion Self-reported dental pain significantly impacted on all the domains of quality of life of the pupils and correlated positively with dissatisfaction with dental condition. Eating and enjoying food as well as maintaining social contact were significant predictors of dissatisfaction with dental condition among children with dental pain.

The mean C-OIDP score was 2.6 (±7.2) overall and 9.8 (±12.4) for pupils with pain. There was higher impact on oral health related quality of life of respondents who reported dental pain than those who did not (Mean Rank = 749.54 vs 475.4, U = 21162, Z = -12.724, p < 0.001) compared to those with and without clinically assessed pain (Mean Rank = 541.21 vs 502.97, U = 6416, Z = - 0.692, p = 0.489). Those who reported dental pain were more dissatisfied with their dental condition (OR = 7.7, CI = 5.0 – 12.0, P < 0.001) compared to those with clinically assessed dental pain (OR = 1.3, CI = 0.4 – 4.9, p = 0.687). Children with self-reported dental pain and who were dissatisfied with their dental condition reported highest odds of impairment in maintaining social contact (OR = 6.5, CI =0.7 - 58.3, p = 0.093). Conclusion:Self-reported dental pain significantly impacted the quality of life of the pupils and caused dissatisfaction with dental condition when compared to clinically assessed pain.

Abstract Objectives To explore the advice school-age children would give parents to help their kids make good health-related behavioral choices (e.g., reducing sugary beverages, increasing fruits/vegetables, eating age-appropriate portions, having frequent family meals) and determine the congruence of children's advice with best-practice parenting guidelines. Methods Children (6 to 11 years) from three states (FL, NJ and WV) participated in 1 of 65 semi-structured focus group discussions. Trained focus group moderators used a semi-structured script to ask children what advice they would give parents to help kids make healthy choices. Results School-age children (n = 195, 47% female) felt that parents played an important role in helping kids make healthy choices. Standard content analysis procedures indicated that some of the advice children would give parents was in line with best-practice parenting guidelines, such as telling kids about the benefits of healthy choices, encouraging kids to make healthy choices, planning ahead to make healthy choices possible, and establishing a routine and expectations for healthy choices. Children also advised parents to involve kids in planning and preparing meals, politely ask kids to help them, and teach kids how to cook. However, other advice children gave contradicted best-practice parenting guidelines. Children often advised parents to use rewards (e.g., money and highly palatable foods) as bribes to get kids to make healthy choices. They also frequently advised parents to punish kids for making unhealthy choices by taking away dessert or electronic devices or grounding them. Children commonly advised parents to “trick” kids into making healthy choices by mixing vegetables into other dishes to hide them or coloring water so kids think it is juice. Conclusions Although some of the advice kids would give parents was in line with best-practice parenting guidelines, not all was. Kids’ advice may suggest that their parents have utilized non-recommended strategies, which can negatively influence children's own eating behaviors now as well as the parenting practices these kids may use in the future. Thus, to protect future generations, nutrition interventions targeting children should consider incorporating best-practice parenting strategies related to healthy choices.
