It is a very concerning situation we are having today when seeing youngsters showing less involvement and not being helpful toward the ones in need. Having children to be exposed to storybooks is to introduce them with moral values that help in building their characters. Storybooks are developed containing pedagogies adapted from the Quran that convey the value of prosocial behavior effectively. The pedagogies are narrative, dialogue, repetition, and questioning. Typography, illustrations and simplified phrases are additional elements that are also included. This research involved 60 children aged 5 to 6 years old from selected preschools in Malaysia. 30 children are presented with the original version of the storybooks and the rest are presented with modified storybooks. Modified Prosocial Behaviour Questionnaire which consists of 15 items is required to be filled during pre and post-test. There was no significant difference in the pretest (M= 32.07, SD= 3.89) and post-test (M= 32.80, SD= 8.57) when using the original books; t(29)= -0.427, p= 0.672 while there was a significant difference in the pretest (M= 23.83, SD= 7.33) and post-test (M- 32.50, SD= 7.93) when using the modified books; t(29)= -16.478, p= 0.000.

AbstractBackgroundHospitalization is a completely new experience for infants and young children; they are too young to understand the stress of hospitalization. Distractions or diversions seek to divert the child’s attention to interesting or challenging tasks to draw attention away from painful or distressful medical procedure. Therefore, the present study assesses the effectiveness of video game on bio-physiological parameters during intravenous cannulation among preschool children admitted in paediatric ward.MethodsA randomized true experimental research design was used to assess the effectiveness of video game technique on pain and bio-physiological parameters during Intravenous Cannulation among preschool children admitted in paediatric ward at Sri Ramachandra Hospital in Chennai. The collected data were grouped and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, to assess the effectiveness of video games.ResultsThere was a significant difference in the mean score of oxygen saturation of post-test compare to pre-test for both groups. The number of children feeling severe pain was more in the control group during intervention and this difference was highly significant. Oxygen saturation was more in control but not significant, but the heart rate was significantly higher in control group during intervention. There was no association during pre- post-test and oxygen saturation, with selected demographic variables of the preschool children in both groups, apart from the fact that children from low income group had significant low heart rate during pre- and post-testDiscussionVideo game is an effective method in reducing pain in children undergoing intravenous cannulation. In this framework, the intervention (showing video game) reduced perception of pain and changes in bio-physiological parameters such as, heart rate and oxygen saturation, during intravenous cannulation.

Background: Play is a tremendous method of communication, expansion of social relationship and communal understanding. Admission into the hospital leads to anxiety and strain for children due to alteration in the settings and their health conditions. Children suffer from separation anxiety; they are not cooperative and do not allow nurses to do any invasive procedures. So the study aimed to find out the anxiety level and role of art and play therapy to overcome it. Material and methods: Sixty preschool hospitalised children were selected for the study. Data were collected through a self-structured questionnaire on socio-demographic and hospitalisation anxiety scale. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. Results: The study findings revealed that 75%, 20% and 5% of children had moderate, severe and mild anxiety during hospitalisation. There was a significant difference observed between pre-test and a post-test mean score of anxiety level in art and play therapy at p<0.0001. A significant relationship was observed between the duration of hospitalisation and anxiety level. Conclusion: The present study's findings conclude that art therapy and play therapy are cost-effective, convenient, and require less skill to reduce anxiety among hospitalised preschool children.

Aims: To determine the effectiveness of the Cough trick technique on vaccination prick pain among preschool children. Study Design: Quantitative approach with true experimental research design. Place and Duration of Study: Pranav baby clinic, Chennai, from May 2021 to June 2021. Methodology: True experimental post-test only research design was adopted to conduct the study with a samples of 40 children. Children were randomly allocated into the experimental group (n=20) and the control group (n=20). Demographic variables were collected from mothers of preschoolers using a structured questionnaire. The cough trick technique was administered to the experimental group during intramuscular vaccination whereas the control group received the regular technique of the intramuscular vaccination. The post-test level of pain was assessed by FLACC scale for both the group. The data were tabulated and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS statistical package. Results: The result of the study shows that in the experimental group, 14(70%) had mild pain and 6(20%) had no vaccination prick pain whereas in the control group, 14(70%) had severe pain and 6(20%) had moderate vaccination prick pain. Independent‘t’ test reveals that there is a significant difference in the level of pain after administration of the cough trick technique between the experimental and control at the level of  P<0.05. Conclusion: The finding of the present study concludes that cough trick technique is an effective and easy method to minimize and reduce the pain during intramuscular vaccination. It is a simple distraction technique that can be effective in helping children cope with the pain of immunization.

In comparison of post-test result by Anova of anxiety level between art therapy play therapy and control group showed that mean score of post-test of play therapy (1.95), art therapy (2.1) and control group (2.25) of anxiety level. The significance value is 0.025 (i.e., p = .025), which is below 0.05, therefore, there is statistically significant difference in the anxiety level between the different groups. Play therapy is more effective than art therapy. Chi-square statistics was used, there was notable association between duration of hospitalization and anxiety level at χ2 =10. Conclusion: It concludes that hospitalization creates a negative impact on the development of the child. Art therapy and Play therapy is more acceptable and can include in normal routine activities. It is cost effective, convenient, requires less skills.

This exploratory study examined the impact of implicit and explicit oral corrective feedback (CF) on the development of implicit and explicit knowledge of Japanese locative particles (activity de, movement ni and location ni) for those who directly received CF and those who observed CF in the classroom. Thirty-six college students in a beginning Japanese language course received either recast (implicit), metalinguistic (explicit) or no feedback during an information-gap picture description activity, and completed a timed picture description test (implicit knowledge) and an untimed grammaticality judgement test (explicit knowledge) in a pre-test, immediate post-test and delayed post-test. The results showed that overall there was no significant difference between CF types, and that CF benefited direct and indirect recipients similarly. Potential factors that might influence the effectiveness of CF, such as instructional settings, complexity of target structures and pedagogy styles, are discussed.
