The spread of addictive behavior among minors continues to be a dangerous trend about children and young people. Therefore, one of the most important areas of pedagogical activity is the prevention of addictions in educational organizations, as well as the training of pedagogical university students for being able to prevent addictions in children and adolescents. The study considers the structure of pedagogical university students’ readiness for the prevention of addictions in the educational environment, relying on a competence-based approach. We have proposed a characteristic of the model for assessing the competence of future teachers in the prevention of addictive behavior in children and young people. We considered the content of the training of future teachers for the prevention of addictive behavior based on the study of preventive pedagogy, and analyzed the main approaches to the prevention of addictive behavior in the educational environment. We presented the results of an experimental study and revealed the effectiveness of the training of pedagogical university students for preventive activities with adolescents.

Inflammatory Conditions

Poster presentation Tuesday 8 October Background Over one in four children and young people (CYP) present to paediatric rheumatology services with non-inflammatory conditions. However, there is a lack of evidence-based treatments and clinical guidelines supporting the management of these patients. Our project aims to determine whether CYP diagnosed with different non-inflammatory conditions and their families are satisfied with the service offered by the paediatric rheumatology department at Leeds General Infirmary. In addition, we wanted to assess which interventions they found most helpful and to check if there were differences between children and young people diagnosed with different non-inflammatory conditions. Methods 632 patients seen by Leeds paediatric rheumatology between July 2017 and June 2018 were diagnosed with non-inflammatory conditions; the three most common groups of conditions were symptomatic hypermobility (SH), chronic pain syndrome (CPS) and muscular back pain (MBP). We undertook a patient satisfaction survey, including patients reported assessment of their physical and psycho-social outcomes, focussing on these three groups only. 198 participants (80 SH; 74 CPS; 44 MBP) were invited to the study by sending them a postal questionnaire with self-addressed and stamped envelopes to return them. The questionnaire did not include any identifiable patient information but a different coloured paper was sent to patients with the three different groups of diagnoses to allow comparison of these groups. All had attended the paediatric rheumatology clinic for their initial assessment and had been referred on to appropriate management services as for the treating clinician including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, podiatry/orthotics, pain management, and/or psychology. Results A total of 33 filled questionnaires were received over the next 2 months including 4 (9.09%) from patients diagnosed with MBP, 11 (13.75%) from patients diagnosed with SH and 18 (24.32%) from patients diagnosed with CPS. Mann-Whitney-U calculations were performed to compare groups. The CPS patient group derived less benefit from physical therapies compared with non-CPS patients (U = 35.5, p = 0.0251) and that their reported mental health is worse than non-CPS patients (U = 31.5, p = 0.034). Within the CPS group, patients benefitted more from occupational therapy (U = 13.5, p = 0.01242) and pain management clinic (U = 9.5, p = 0.0226) than podiatry/orthotics services. When asked to rate their overall satisfaction out of 10, the median scores for the SH and MBP groups were 9 and 10 respectively, the median score for the CPS group was 5. Conclusion Our data would suggest that patients suffering with CPS would benefit from a more holistic approach including referrals to a psychologist, occupational therapy and the pain management team. The CPS group seemed most dissatisfied with the services provided by the clinic. The results of the project were fed back to the clinical team and we hope to repeat the survey in future after potential changes suggested by the survey have been implemented.

Starting from a historical reconstruction of the presence of minors within Italian and European psychiatric hospitals and on the evolution of the methods of treatment and re-education of children and young people with mental and intellectual disabilities between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this article proposes an analysis of the documents kept at the archive of the Gian Franco Minguzzi Institution, with particular reference to those that certify the presence of children and adolescents, up to 15 years old, hospitalized in the Bologna’s asylum over a very long period of time, ranging from 1811 to 1950. Here the peculiar and innovative characteristics of the Bologna’s institution, the diagnoses made there and the trajectories of the minors involved are examined.

RESUMEN En los ultimos años, niños y adolescentes han aprendido tempranamente el manejo de los equipos electrónicos; sin embargo, aunque han adquirido habilidades digitales, ignoran los peligros que su uso implica. El presente trabajo se propone identificar los principales peligros digitales que enfrentan los menores al navegar libremente en Internet, y el alcance de la protección legal disponible en México. Para tal efecto se identifica el uso de internet entre niños y adolescentes; se detectan los principales peligros digitales, y el alcance de la protección legal disponible en México y en el mundo. Las dimensiones que caracteriza este problema conlleva a considerar que los esfuerzos nacionales son insuficientes si los delitos informáticos no se resuelven en un marco internacional. ABSTRACTThe internet is, after television, the means of communication that has the greatest influence on children and young people. In recent years, children and adolescents have learned early how to use electronic equipment; however, although they have acquired digital skills, they are unaware of the dangers that their use implies. This work aims to identify the main digital dangers that minors face when freely browsing the Internet, and the scope of legal protection available in Mexico. For this purpose, the use of the internet among children and adolescents is identified; the main digital dangers are detected, and the scope of legal protection available in Mexico and in the world. The dimensions that characterize this problem lead to consider that national efforts are insufficient if cybercrime is not solved in an international framework.
