Mindfulness is focusing on the present moment while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's thoughts, feelings, and body sensations as they are. The use of mindfulness practices on children and adolescents is burgeoning. This chapter covers the meaning and elements of mindfulness, their measurement, the various techniques, and exercises exclusive for children. Such techniques are typically individualized, tailor-made, personalized, contextualized, play-based, activity-oriented, reward-oriented, and maintained at the child's developmental level. Mindfulness parenting is vital. A mindful parent is aware of one's thoughts and feelings; is responsive to the child's needs, thoughts, and feelings; is better at regulating own emotions; is less critical of oneself or the child; is better at standing back from situations and avoiding an impulsive reaction. Issues related to professionalism, formal institutions for training mindfulness, and ongoing research on this theme, their achievements, and setbacks are listed before providing future directions for work in this area.

Stunting is a nutritional status that is based on the Body Height index by Age (TB / U). The incidence of stunting that has taken place since childhood has a very strong relationship with slow motor and IQ (intelligence) is lower. The level of development of children has a higher quality than normal resources this has increased cognitive levels, poor learning and psychosocial achievement. The purpose of this study is to see whether there is a relationship between stunting events and the level of development of toddlers aged 36-48 months in TK Pertiwi Majene 2019. This type of research is observational analytic research with a cross-sectional study with the method of Exhaustive Sampling and the instruments used are microtome and graphs used. used as a KPSP questionnaire developmental level questionnaire. The sample used was toddlers aged 36-48 months as many as 38 people. The results of the analysis approved by Chi-Square showed rejected with a significant value of 0.37, which means greater than 0.05 (p> 0.05). It is possible to conclude that there is a significant relationship between the incidence of stunting with the level of development of toddlers aged 36-48 months. Suggestions for further researchers to be able to add factors that can influence the occurrence of stunting as well as adding samples to get more significant results.

<p>New Zealand (NZ) has a separate youth justice system that is designed to be responsive towards the developmental needs of young people that have engaged in antisocial behaviour. It is therefore essential that young people are ‘Fit to Stand Trial’ when legal proceedings are brought against them. A young person can be found legally unfit on the basis of ‘mental impairment’, and whilst this is undefined it largely overlooks the impact a young person's developmental level may have on their engagement with court processes. No research has examined young people’s understanding of the justice system in NZ. However, international research has demonstrated that those 13 years and younger are almost exclusively found unfit to stand trial due to their developmental level, whereas those 16 years and older tend to be found fit to stand trial. The legal capabilities of those aged 14 to 15 years are difficult to predict given the extensive developmental changes occurring around that age. The current research aimed to address three research questions: 1) is there a relationship between age and fitness to stand trial, 2) is there a relationship between IQ and fitness to stand trial, and 3) how does NZ research compare to international literature. Participants aged 13 to 18 were recruited from six schools around NZ (n = 89). They were interviewed using a semi-structured interview tool that was designed for this study to assess young people’s understanding of the justice process and fitness-related abilities. A brief measure of participant IQ was also taken. It was found that fitness-related abilities, such as knowledge and understanding, were positively associated with age and IQ, such that older participants and those with higher IQ scores performed better on this semi-structured interview. Attending a high decile school, and being female was also predictive of better performance. These findings indicate that developmental level—as indicated by age and IQ—impacts young people’s understanding and participation in the justice system. Therefore, the current legislative response to young people who offend does not sufficiently recognise the impact of a young person’s developmental capabilities.</p>

There is currently limited evidence supporting the use of telepractice to conduct bottle-feeding assessments. This study aimed to investigate the inter-rater reliability of bottle-feeding assessments conducted via synchronous telepractice (real-time videoconferencing). Secondary aims were to investigate parent and clinician satisfaction. Bottle-feeding skills of 30 children (aged 1 month–2 years) were simultaneously assessed by a telepractice SP (T-SP) at a remote location and an in-person SP (IP-SP) at the family home. A purpose-designed assessment form was used to evaluate: (1) developmental level (screen only), (2) state, color, and respiration, (3) oral motor skills, (4), infant oral reflexes, (5) tongue tie (screen only), (6) non-nutritive suck, (7) bottle-feeding, (8) overall feeding skills and (9) recommendations. Results of the T-SP and IP-SP assessments were compared using agreement statistics. Parents reported perceptions of telepractice pre and post session, and also rated post-session satisfaction. The telepractice SP completed a satisfaction questionnaire post-appointment. The majority of assessment components (45/53, 85%) met the agreement criteria (≥80% exact agreement). Difficulties were noted for the assessment of palate integrity, gagging during non-nutritive suck assessment, and 6 components of the tongue tie screen. Parent and clinician satisfaction was high; SPs reported that they would offer telepractice services to 93% of families again in the future. Overall, the results demonstrated that most components of a bottle-feeding assessment could be reliably completed via synchronous telepractice in family homes. However, further research is required to improve the reliability of some intra-oral assessment components.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the pediatric sedation knowledge and performance of nurses in tertiary hospitals.Methods: Altogether 120 nurses working in the Pediatric Departments of 4 tertiary hospitals in Busan and Kyungnam participated in this descriptive survey. The questionnaire was developed based on domestic and international guidelines and consisted of 40 questions including 18 questions on knowledge and 22 on the performance level of sedation nursing.Results: The mean score regarding the knowledge of pediatric sedation care was 3.14 points and the mean performance level score was 3.44 points. Questions that received low scores in terms of pediatric sedation care knowledge included items regarding the latest policies, level of sedation, and fasting before sedation. Questions that received low scores in the performance level included items regarding psychological preparation before sedation, sedation education considering developmental level and disease, and items related to blood pressure measurement. Pediatric sedation knowledge scores were higher in the groups with higher age, longer clinical experience, higher educational experience, and awareness of sedation guidelines. Performance scores were significantly higher in the groups having educational experience in pediatric sedation and in those exhibiting awareness of sedation guidelines.Conclusion: Sedation education was significantly associated with both knowledge and performance of sedation nursing, conducting educational programs on pediatric sedation nursing.

Introduction: PTM is one of the most common causes of death in Indonesia. Based on a preliminary study of data from the Jatirejo Public Health Center in 2018, 2743 families with hypertension were found while those receiving routine treatment were 884 families. In Mojogeneng village, 163 families suffer from hypertension, but only 64 families receive regular treatment. Based on these problems, it can be said that the implementation of the PTM Posbindu in Mojogeneng Village has not run optimally, therefore it is necessary to carry out an evaluation that aims to see the level of development of the PTM Posbindu through 12 indicators according to the UKBM technical guidelines.Methods: Using a qualitative study conducted in Mojokerto Regency by involving related parties. The technique used is interview, Focus Group Discussion/FGD, observation and document review. The secondary data of the research was obtained from the results of the PTM Posbindu activities which were discussed in accordance with the research variables.Results: Variable developmental level of PTM Posbindu, Related to the implementation of activities carried out every month, 25% target obesity coverage, 35% target blood glucose, 25% target blood cholesterol, PTM counseling is carried out 3 or 4 times a year, counseling on all PTM problems, physical activity once a week 30% target, participants aged >55 years 70%, 45-55 years 55%, 35-44 years 30%, 25-35 years 15%, implementing activities 90% from the community, health financing 80% from the community , 75% independent participants, and Partnership 3 to 4 times a year.Discussion: Evaluation of the developmental level of PTM Posbindu consists of 12 indicators, the first indicator is independent category, second pratama, third middle, fourth pratama, fifth middle, sixth independent, seventh middle, eighth >55 years old and 44-55 full moon, 35-44 years old and 25-34 middle years, ninth and tenth full moons, eleventh full moons, and twelfth full moons.

Objective: The professional activities of specialists of risky professions are carried out in extreme conditions, characterized by a significant number of stressful factors, which, if the professional qualities of specialists are not sufficiently developed, leads to a decrease in the efficiency of performance of official duties, professional burnout, and psychosomatic disorders. Background: The success of the performance of service tasks is primarily influenced by the developmental level of the emotional-volitional sphere, in particular self-regulation, emotional-volitional stability, ensuring the ability to make autonomous decisions, form and determine tasks following the requirements of complex, changing situations, and therefore, achieve their goals. The article aims to analyze the emotional and volitional state of future specialists of risky professions during training. Method: The leading research method was observation. The emotional-volitional sphere is an integral part of the system of regulating activity as a professional. During the research, the main areas of the formation of the emotional-volitional sphere were identified. With the help of psychological analysis, the important properties of future specialists in the development of the emotional-volitional sphere have been determined. Results: The analysis results show that future specialists have an average and low level of stylistic possibilities for self-regulation (modeling, programming, autonomy). The reasons for the low progress of future specialists have been determined. Conclusion: The practical significance of the research lies in the development of recommendations for training and the formation of the emotional-volitional sphere during educational activities.

This chapter addresses the treatment of youth anxiety. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for youth anxiety, as illustrated by the Coping Cat program, is implemented flexibly based on considerations including age/developmental level, co-occurring disorders, socioeconomic status, and cultural factors to enhance outcomes. For fidelity, the program adheres to key components: building rapport, providing psychoeducation about anxiety, addressing anxious self-talk, conducting exposures, assigning homework, and providing rewards/praise. The essential components, however, are applied with flexibility. Ultimately, research is needed to evaluate strategies to increase continued fidelity to the core components of treatment. Peer consultation and supervision may be valuable for maintaining fidelity while flexibly applying the program to a specific client.
