KIDSCREEN-52: A PERCEÇÃO DOS PAIS SOBRE A QUALIDADE DE VIDA DOS FILHOS

The KIDSCREEN 52 is a European cross-cultural and standardized instrument that assesses ten health related quality of life (HRQoL) dimensions in children, adolescents and their parents. It is often claimed that children self reports are not totally accurate, calling for a confirmation from parents or caregivers. The present study focuses only on the Kidscreen-52, parents' version (a parallel version addressed specifically to parents perceptions of their son's HRQoL). 2255 parents of children and adolescents with a mean age of 13.2, attending the 5 th grade and 7 th grade were inquired. The fit indexes indicate good fit to the data. Specifically, the final solution of the RMSEA was lower than .03, the upper limit of 90% confidence interval was lower than .05, and CFI was higher than .95. Results indicate that the current 52 items structure is invariant across gender and age group. The parent's version of the Kidscreen-52 questionnaire constitutes a valid instrument to estimate parent's perception of quality of life in their

Measuring Similarities Between External and Self Emotion Evaluation in the Case of Assisted Speech Therapy of Children

The emotional state of children involved in speech therapy represents an important condition for a successful intervention and, in consequence, the lack of emotional assessment is one of the most important drawbacks of computer assisted speech therapy. In this paper we focus on the second step of development of an automatic emotion recognition framework, that is identifying the consistency of human emotion recognition. Our research hypotheses were tested using results from an experiment involving 41 children, 3 speech and language therapists (SLT) and 3 therapeutically sequences. We developed and used an instrument to obtain data about children emotions from SLT (external emotion evaluation) and from the involved children (self emotion evaluation). Data were processed by two different mathematical methods for checking the similarity. The results have shown that there is a good consistency between external and self emotional evaluations and these findings encourage us to continue our researches for adding an affective extension to our Computer Based Speech Therapy (CBST

Health Related Quality of Life in Patients with Biliary Atresia Surviving with their Native Liver

To quantify health related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with biliary atresia with their native livers and compare them with healthy children and patients with biliary atresia post-liver transplant (LT) and to examine the relationship between HRQOL and medical variables. A cross-sectional HRQOL study of patients with biliary atresia with their native livers (ages 2-25 years) was conducted and compared with healthy and post-LT biliary atresia samples using Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 child self and parent proxy reports, a validated measure of physical/psychosocial functioning. 221 patients with biliary atresia with native livers (54% female, 67% white) were studied. Patient self and parent proxy reports showed significantly poorer HRQOL than healthy children across all domains (P < .001), particularly in emotional and psychosocial functioning. Child self and parent proxy HRQOL scores from patients with biliary atresia with their native livers and post-LT biliary atresia were similar across all domains (P = not significant). Child self and parent proxy reports showed moderate agreement across all scales, except social functioning (poor to fair agreement). On multivariate regression analysis, black race and elevated total bilirubin were associated with lower Total and Psychosocial HRQOL summary scores. HRQOL in patients with biliary atresia with their native livers is significantly poorer than healthy children and similar to children with post-LT biliary atresia. These findings identify significant opportunities to optimize the overall health of patients with biliary atresia.

Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the pediatric quality of life inventory 4.0 Generic core scales among children with short stature

BackgroundThe quality of life in children with short stature was rarely studied in China, so we explore these children’s quality of life and psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0(PedsQL4.0) Generic Core Scales among children with short stature.MethodsA total of 201 children aged 8 ~ 18 years from the short stature clinic and other clinics of capital institute of pediatrics attended this study. The questionnaires include demographic information and PedsQL4.0 generic core scales. According to children’s height, we divided them into three groups: short stature, normal short and normal group, then compared the score of scales by the height category. Moreover, we analyzed the reliability and validity of PedsQL4.0 generic core scales in these 201 children.ResultsThe child self-report total PedsQL mean score, for the short stature, normal short and normal groups were 77.77 ± 9.69, 83.50 ± 8.56 and 87.36 ± 7.23; the parent-proxy total PedsQL mean score were 77.62 ± 10.50, 82.69 ± 8.35 and 84.91 ± 9.96 respectively. Both for children self- and parent proxy-reports, the Cronbach’s α coefficients of total scale, psychosocial health and social functioning ranged between 0.74 and 0.80, it ranged between 0.51 and 0.66 in other dimensions. For child self-reports, the correlation coefficients of 17 items’ scores (total 23 items) with the scores of dimensions they belong to were above 0.5, with the highest 0.759; the other 6 items’ correlation coefficients were below 0.5, with the lowest 0.280. For parent proxy-reports, the correlation coefficients of 19 items’ scores with the scores of dimension they belong to were above 0.5, with the highest 0.793, the other 4 items’ below 0.5 with the lowest 0.243.ConclusionsThe quality of life in children with short stature is worse than their normal peers by Peds QL4.0 generic core scales, the statues of their quality of life was positively related to their stature.

Moral emotions and the development of the moral self in childhood

Researchers have been emphasizing the importance of moral emotions for young children's moral self. However, the relationship between children's moral self and moral emotions has never been investigated empirically. The present study examined the relationship between children's self-representations about (im)moral behaviour and moral emotions attributions in a sample of 132 elementary-school children (M age = 8.39 years, SD = 2.50). Participants were presented a newly developed moral self measure, along with a measure of moral emotion attributions. Two dimensions of children's moral self-concept were identified: preference for prosocial behaviour and avoidance of antisocial behaviour. Results revealed a slight decrease in preference for prosocial behaviour with age, as well as an increased correlation between preference for prosocial behaviour and moral emotion attributions. Overall, findings suggest that moral emotions do not play a pivotal role for young children's moral self-concept. Children's moral self-concept becomes increasingly coordinated with moral emotions as they approach adolescence.

Validation and Reliability of PedsQL in Healthy Malaysian Pediatric Population

This study aimed at examining the validity and reliability of the translated PedsQL instruments in healthy Malaysian pediatric population. Study population consisted of children aged 5-7 and 8 -12 years as well as adolescent aged 13- 18 years recruited from the continently selected primary and secondary schools located in Klang valley area. All participants were requested to obtain parental consent. The participants must possess the ability to read and understand the questionnaire independently in any one of the languages, namely English, Malay, Tamil and Mandarin. Both forward and backward translation process was adopted in translating the instruments. A harmonization meeting involving all the translators and researchers was then held to review, reconcile and harmonize the translated instruments. Cronbach’s alpha was used to demonstrate the internal reliability of the instruments with a 2-weeks period. The predictive strength of the parent proxy report on the child self report was studied using the predictive validity. The Cronbach’s alpha values for child self report in all versions of PedsQL were found to be at least 0.70 while the values were reported to be at least 0.80 for the parent proxy report. Moderate correlation between the child self report and parent proxy report was observed for children aged 5-7 and 8-12 years, while the correlation was moderate to high for children aged 13-18 years. The findings in this study demonstrated the Malay, Mandarin and Tamil PedsQL possessed acceptable internal reliability and predictive validity.

Game On? Online Friendship, Cyberbullying, and Psychosocial Adjustment in Hong Kong Chinese Children

Across 626 Hong Kong Chinese fifth and sixth graders, children's experiences of victimization and bullying in online and real life contexts were compared. Children reported their best friendships at school and online when playing massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs). With demographic variables, computer gaming habits, school victimization and real life friendship measures statistically controlled, online victimization uniquely and negatively explained variance in friendship satisfaction, while online friendship positively and significantly explained additional variance in children's social competence, friendship satisfaction, self esteem, and life satisfaction. This research demonstrates theoretical and practical importance of investigating social experiences (both negative, i.e., being cyber-bullied, and positive, i.e., building up online friendship) for early adolescents' psychosocial adjustment.

Responsiveness to change for the Brazilian Scale of Oral Health Outcomes for 5-year-old children (SOHO-5)

BackgroundThe responsiveness of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) instruments has become relevant, given the increasing tendency to use OHRQoL measures as outcomes in clinical trials and evaluations studies. The purpose of this study was to assess the responsiveness of the Brazilian Scale of Oral Health Outcomes for 5-year-old children (SOHO-5) to dental treatment.MethodsOne hundred and fifty-four children and their parents completed the child self- and parental’ reports of the SOHO-5 prior to treatment and 7 to 14 days after the completion of treatment. The post-treatment questionnaire also included a global transition judgment that assessed subject’s perceptions of change in their oral health following treatment. Change scores were calculated by subtracting post-treatment SOHO-5 scores from pre-treatment scores. Longitudinal construct validity was assessed by using one-way analysis of variance to examine the association between change scores and the global transition judgments. Measures of responsiveness included standardized effect sizes (ES) and standardized response mean (SRM).ResultsThe improvement of children’s oral health after treatment are reflected in mean pre- and post-treatment SOHO-5 scores that declined from 2.67 to 0.61 (p < 0.001) for the child-self reports, and 4.04 to 0.71 (p < 0.001) for the parental reports. Mean change scores showed a gradient in the expected direction across categories of the global transition judgment, and there were significant differences in the pre- and post-treatment scores of those who reported improving a little (p < 0.05) and those who reported improving a lot (p < 0.001). For both versions, the ES and SRM based on change scores mean for total scores and for categories of global transitions judgments were moderate to large.ConclusionsThe Brazilian SOHO-5 is responsive to change and can be used as an outcome indicator in future clinical trials. Both the parental and the child versions presented satisfactory results.

2369 – Learning how to bully? Associations between parental punitive discipline and bullying behavior at school in adolescents

Parenting behaviors and discipline play a critical role in children's socialization and self regulation skills. To investigate whether parental practices, especially punitive discipline, are associated with adolescents’ bullying behavior at school. This is a community based sample with 247 adolescents from five public schools, between 10 and 15 years of age. Bullying was measured by a self-administered instrument Brazilian modified version of the Olweus Bully Victim Questionnaire. The Dimensions of Discipline Inventory Parental - Child Report measured parental practices. Parental practices were analyzed using two main subtypes: power assertive/punitive (psychological aggression, corporal punishment, deprivation of privileges, and penalty tasks) and inductive (explaining, rewarding and monitoring). Associations between parental practices and bullying were controlled for potential confounders such as age, sex, and whether the parental figure was biological in a logistic regression analysis. Power assertive/punitive practices by either mother or father were significantly associated with bullying behavior by their children. Mothers who most used power assertion and punishment as discipline were 4.36 (CI 95% : 1.87–10.16; p < .001) times more likely of having a child who bullies others at school. Inductive discipline was not overall associated with bullying (p > .05). Examining each specific parental method within power assertive/punitive discipline scale, mild forms of corporal punishment, such spanking, and psychological aggression either by mother or father, had the more consistent associations. The results underscore the potential and promising importance of advising parents about appropriate discipline strategies in order to prevent bullying perpetration at school.

PedsQL™ Sickle Cell Disease Module: Feasibility, Reliability and Validity

AbstractAbstract 476 Background:Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited chronic disease characterized by complications such as recurrent painful vaso-occlusive events that can require hospitalizations and contribute to early and increased mortality. Prior work using generic health-related quality of life (HRQL) instruments has demonstrated that patients with SCD experience significantly impaired HRQL in their baseline state of health that worsens during acute complications of the disease. To better understand differences in health status in children with SCD, we developed the PedsQL™ SCD Module to measure SCD-specific HRQL. The goal of this study was to determine the measurement properties for the child self- and parent-proxy reports for the newly developed PedsQL™ SCD Module. We hypothesized that the PedsQL™ SCD Module would be feasible and reliable and that children with more severe SCD would have worse HRQL than those with mild disease as measured by the PedsQL™ SCD Module. Methodology:This was a cross-sectional study conducted at 5 sites across the United States. Study participants were children with SCD ages 2–18 years who presented to clinic for a routine visit. HRQL was the main outcome measured with the newly developed 43-item PedsQL™ SCD Module which includes nine scales: Pain/Hurt (PH, 9 items), Pain Impact (PI, 10 items), Pain Management/Control (PMC, 2 items), Worry I (WO1, 5 items), Worry II (WO2, 2 items), Emotions (EM, 2 items), Treatment (TR, 7 items), Communication I (CO1, 3 items), Communication II (CO2, 3 items). Higher scores indicate better HRQL and lower SCD symptoms. Missing items were used to determine feasibility and Cronbach’s alpha was used to determine reliability. HRQL of children with mild and severe disease were compared using an independent t-test to determine construct validity. Severe disease was defined as patients with 3 or more hospitalizations for pain in the 3 years prior, history of stroke and/or prior acute chest syndrome. Results:A total of 321 families (313 parents, 243 children ages 5–18 years) completed questionnaires. The average age of the children (46.7% boys) was 9.62 years (SD = 4.88). Feasibility was established, with 3% or less missing data for the module. The PedsQL™ SCD Module was reliable and distinguished between children with mild and severe SCD (Table 1). Conclusions:The PedsQL™ SCD Module performed well and demonstrated strong measurement properties in patients with SCD. Overall, both the parent-proxy report and child self-report differentiated between patients with severe and mild SCD supporting construct validity of the module. Although these are the first results using the PedsQL™ SCD Module, it has shown great potential as being a strong measure of HRQL for patients with SCD. Future studies incorporating the PedsQL™ SCD Module will benefit from the measure’s disease-specific scales and overall ability to distinguish between mild and severe symptoms. Continually, these studies will help further define its’ measurement properties and advance our knowledge of the HRQL in patients with SCD.Table 1PedsQL™ SCD Module 3.0 Mean Scores and ReliabilityScalesαChild ReportαParent Proxy ReportMild (135)Severe (104)pMild (179)Severe (129)pPH.8670.761.6.001.9476.266.6≤ .001PI.9056.950.2.038.9773.866.1.002PMC.7857.953.0.231.9374.4468.3.043WO1.8265.760.6.138.9476.268.6.003WO2.7675.170.4.287.8983.176.7.020EM.6966.356.3.022.8479.274.6.107TR.7465.263.0.444.8779.671.7≤.001CO1.7072.575.6.342.8383.379.4.085CO2.7058.955.1.345.8378.973.4.038Total.9564.759.5.032.9777.269.8≤.001α = Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency reliability, higher scores equal better health-related quality of life.

Quality of Life in Children with Acute Immune Thrombocytopenia Is Related to the Course of the Disease and Not to Treatment Modality or Bleeding Tendency

AbstractAbstract 1098 Introduction:Acute immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia and a sudden onset of bruising in an otherwise healthy child. Most children recover within 6–12 months and only 3–6% of children experience severe bleeding. To prevent bleeding complications, children with acute ITP are restricted in their activities by doctors and parents. We hypothesized that these restrictions in activities and fear of bleeding have an important impact on health related quality of life (HRQoL) of both children and parents and that treatment might improve HRQoL. However, HRQoL studies in childhood ITP are scarce. The TIKI study (Therapy with or without Intravenous Immunoglobulin for Kids with acute ITP) is a multicenter randomized clinical trial to determine if early intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) administration can prevent a chronic course of the disease. Children receive either a single dose of IVIg or careful observation and treatment only in case of severe bleeding. As part of this study, HRQoL was measured at diagnosis and during follow up. Patients and methods:Children aged 3 months to 16 years with newly diagnosed ITP were included in the TIKI study. Parents of all included children and children aged 7 years and older completed a generic HRQoL questionnaire, the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL, HRQoL of the child reported by proxy and by children themselves) and the recently developed and validated disease specific Kids’ ITP Tools (KIT, HRQoL of children (proxy and self) and parents) at diagnosis, after 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. Bleeding tendency was scored according to the adapted Buchanan bleeding score. We compared PedsQL scores of (1) children diagnosed with acute ITP and healthy children, (2) children with persisting ITP beyond 6 months and children with other chronic conditions. The KIT scores of children (proxy and self) and parents were compared between: (3) children that received IVIg and children randomized to the observational arm; (4) children with bleeding score 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4; (5) children that recovered within 3–6 months and children with persisting thrombocytopenia beyond 3–6 months. Mann Whitney tests were performed to analyze differences between two groups, ANOVA tests to analyze data regarding bleeding score. P values < 0.05 were considered significant. HRQoL PedsQL norm scores were available for healthy Dutch children and children with chronic conditions, like asthma and eczema. Results:At time of analysis, HRQoL data were available for 74 patients, 37 boys and 37 girls with a median age of 41 months (9–198 months). HRQoL of (1) children with acute ITP at diagnosis did not differ significantly from healthy children (median score proxy: 83 vs. 87, p 0.26; child: 79 vs. 83, p 0.45); (2) HRQoL of children with persisting ITP after 6 months was comparable with HRQoL of children with other chronic conditions. There were no significant differences between (3) HRQoL of children and parents in the IVIg group and in the observational group after 1 week (median score child 55 vs. 69, p 0.23; proxy 76 vs. 74, p 0.54; parent 57 vs. 64, p 0.21) and 1 month (median score child 75 vs 86, p 0.33; proxy 92 vs 84, p 0.09; parent 74 vs. 70, p 0.69). (4) No significant differences in HRQoL were found between children with bleeding score 0,1,2,3 or 4. (5)Parents of children that recovered within 3 or 6 months showed a significant better HRQoL than parents of children with persisting ITP beyond 3 or 6 months (3 months: median score parents 81 vs. 66, p 0.004; 6 months: 88 vs. 70, p 0.002). HRQoL of children reported by proxy at 6 months but not at 3 months showed a significant difference as well (median score proxy 95 vs. 88, p 0.048). Conclusion:HRQoL of children with acute ITP measured 1 week and 1 month after diagnosis does not differ between children that received careful observation or IVIg treatment. HRQoL is also not influenced by bleeding tendency, but only by clinical course: parents of children that have recovered within 3 and within 6 months have a significant better HRQoL than parents of children with persisting ITP beyond 3 and 6 months. HRQoL of children reported by proxy at 6 months is also better in the recovered group. To improve HRQoL, preventing a chronic course of the disease seems to have the most beneficial effect. The clinical results of our trial are awaited to determine if early IVIg adminstration can prevent a chronic course of the disease. Disclosures:No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Unpacking Alchemy: Commentary on Paper by Noelle Burton

I appreciate Noelle Burton's courageous paper in which she movingly demonstrates how the analyst's opening to her own vulnerable child self, as evoked by the analytic interaction, creates parallel openings between the patient and analyst and within the patient. At the same time, I wonder if there is a not-fully-mentalized enactment occurring in the analytic process—an enactment that is reflected in certain aspects of Burton's clinical narrative. And I wonder if the containment of Burton's childlike feelings—a central focus of her paper—is even more interactive than she has recognized. These questions are, however, overshadowed by the paper's significant creative (clinical and conceptual) contribution.

Educating the emotional self: the role home plays in a child's method of communicating life stories in a classroom space

This article discusses the risks and possibilities of communicating and educating the child's emotional self in a formal classroom environment. Through designing and implementing an expressive arts curricular intervention in a Scottish primary school classroom, my research produces an example of how therapeutic notions focused upon health and wellbeing can be integrated into contemporary education. Four case studies are provided to exemplify how individual children made particular sense of emotional expression through their own lens of interactive communication with parental figures. This article argues that educators' active and ongoing awareness of boundaries, disclosure and exposure will determine the ethical nature of a child's educational experience with emotional expression.

Mental Health of Australian Deaf Adolescents: An Investigation using an Auslan Version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire

This study investigated mental health problems in 54 deaf adolescents between 11 and 18 years of age residing in the states of New South Wales and Tasmania in Australia. Mental health problems were assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ; ). The SDQ Self Report was translated into Australian Sign Language (Auslan; ) using a rigorous iterative process of translation and back-translation. Both the written and Auslan Self Report versions of the instrument were administered to establish test–retest reliability and internal consistency of the signed version. Parent and teacher reports were also obtained. Results showed acceptable levels of reliability and internal consistency for the Auslan version of the self-report commensurate with those obtained for the written version on a normative hearing sample. Modest correlations were found between some of the syndrome scales in the two versions. Modest to strong correlations emerged between parent and teacher reports, parent and child written versions, and for some of the syndrome scales between teacher and child self-reports and between the parent and Auslan Self Report version. The prevalence rates yielded by the different respondents differed with parents reporting higher prevalence than teachers or children. Differences also emerged between the rates identified using the different versions of the Child Self Report. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Decisões reprodutivas e triagem neonatal: a perspectiva de mulheres cuidadoras de crianças com doença falciforme

One of the goals of the Brazilian Newborn Screening Program created in 2001 was to inform couples with the possibility of having children with sickle cell diseases regarding reproductive decision-making. This article presents the reproductive choices and analyzes the notion of biomedical reproductive risk of female caregivers of children with sickle cell disease participating in a newborn screening program. Qualitative data collected between 2006 and 2008 was based on interviews with 50 female caregivers of children with sickle cell disease participating on the Federal District Newborn Screening Program. The research revealed the following perceptions underlying reproductive decisions: women who want to have other children even with the risk of recurrence of the disease; women who do not want to have any more children; and women whose reproductive plans are still being considered on the basis of the information provided by the newborn screening program. The study revealed that women's reproductive choices are based on the experience of child care and self care. The notion of reproductive risk is built in order to strengthen women's decisions together with their family and other social groups to which they belong.
