MELANGKAH TANPA PENUNTUN: MENGEKSPLORASI DAMPAK KEHILANGAN AYAH TERHADAP KESEHATAN MENTAL DAN EMOSIONAL ANAK-ANAK

The role and function of parents towards children are very important in the family. The absence of one person, especially the father, in guiding and supporting the development of the child will have a direct, unknown impact on a family, as it has a significant impact on the child's health and emotional well-being. Most children unconsciously have problems with the role of a lost father or fatherless in their lives; even Indonesia occupies the third place in the roles of a missing father or fatherless. The study explores the impact of father loss on the child's mental and emotional health, factors that cause fatherlessness, and adaptive strategies to cope with the difficulties that arise after the loss of a father. This research uses a library study method, or literature review, which involves collecting books, articles, and previous research that supports research with a qualitative approach. The results point to the fact that losing a father can have a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional health. This study provides insight into the importance of the father's role in the family and the importance of social support to cope with the impact fatherless.

Impact of Social Stories on social and emotional health of autism spectrum primary school children: the ASSSIST2 RCT with economic evaluation.

Differences in the way autistic children experience the world can contribute to anxiety and stress. Carol Gray's Social Stories™ are a highly personalised intervention to support children by providing social information about specific situations in an individual story. This randomised controlled trial aimed to establish whether Social Stories are clinically effective and cost-effective in improving social responsiveness and social and emotional health in children on the autism spectrum in schools. A multisite pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial comparing Social Stories with care as usual. Eighty-seven schools (clusters) across Yorkshire and the Humber. Two hundred and forty-nine children were randomised via a bespoke system hosted at York Trials Unit (129 Social Stories and 120 care as usual). Recruitment was completed in May 2021. Participants were children aged 4-11 years with a diagnosis of autism, alongside teachers, interventionists and caregivers. Recruitment was via schools, NHS trusts, support groups and local publicity. The intervention included training for educational professionals and caregivers covering psychoeducation and implementation of Social Stories. Stories were written around contextualised goals around the child's need for social information. Interventionists read the Social Story™ with the child at least six times over 4 weeks during school. The primary outcome was the Social Responsiveness Scale-2 completed by teachers at 6 months (the primary end point), which measures social awareness, cognition, communication and behaviour. Data were collected from caregivers and educational professionals at 6 weeks and 6 months through questionnaires. Blinding of participants was not possible. At 6 months, the estimated difference in expected teacher-reported Social Responsiveness Scale-2 T-score (the primary end point) was -1.61 (95% confidence interval -4.18 to 0.96, p = 0.220), slightly favouring the intervention group. The estimated differences for the parent-reported secondary outcomes at 6 months were small and generally favoured the control group except the measure of children's quality-adjusted life-year (+ 0.001, 95% confidence interval -0.032 to 0.035) and parental stress (-1.49, 95% confidence interval -5.43 to 2.46, p = 0.460), which favoured the intervention group. Children in the intervention group met their individual goals more frequently than children who received usual care alone (0.97 confidence interval 0.21 to 1.73, p = 0.012). The intervention is likely to save small costs (-£191 per child, 95% confidence interval -767.7 to 337.7) and maintain a similar quality of life compared to usual care. The probability of Social Stories being a preferred option is 75% if the society is willing to pay £20,000 per quality-adjusted life-year gained. Limitations include considerable disruptions during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Social Stories are used in schools and represent a low-cost intervention. There is no clinically evident impact on social responsiveness, anxiety and/or depression, parental stress or general health. Benefits were observed for specific behavioural goals as assessed by the teacher, and Social Stories may serve as a useful tool for facilitating dialogue between children and school staff to address specific behavioural challenges. Usage should be at the school's discretion. Given the uncertainty of the results in light of coronavirus disease 2019, further work to establish the impact of Social Stories is merited.

Edukasi Bahaya Kekerasan Verbal (Bullyying) Bagi Siswa SD Negeri 1 Rumahtiga

Bullying is an act of physical or verbal violence that is carried out intentionally and repeatedly, with the aim of causing psychological suffering to the victim. Bullying is a serious problem, which is currently widespread at both local and international levels and can occur directly or online. The current case of bullying that is of particular concern is in the school environment. An example of a case that occurred was an 11-year-old student at an elementary school in Banyuwangi, who was found dead by hanging himself as a result of being frequently bullied at his school. This is the background to the importance of early education for elementary school students. Based on this, the 2023/2024 batch L of Pattimura Unvesitas KKN students carried out an educational program through counseling methods about education and the impact of bullying on children's health, mental and emotional health. This program was implemented for 30 students of SD Negeri 1 Rumah Tiga. The delivery of the counseling material was carried out in 3 sessions, namely a material presentation session, a question and answer session, and a group photo session. The results of the activity can be concluded that at first the students did not understand what bullying was, but after presenting material about what bullying is and how it impacts children's mental and emotional health, the students were very enthusiastic and immediately understood the material presented.

Post-partum depression: Its association with IYCF practices and effect on child growth indicators in urban slums of Mumbai, India

BackgroundThe nexus of postpartum depression (PPD) does not limit itself to maternal health but has a profound impact on child health through compromised caregiving and nursing practices of the mother. This impairs child's cognitive, emotional, and physical health during crucial stages of growth. ObjectiveThe paper aims to identify the association between PPD and Infant and Young Child Feeding practices and the effect of PPD on child growth during the first 1000 days of life in urban slum settings of Mumbai. ResultsFor infants below six months of age, bottle-feeding practices, initiation of breastfeeding within 1 hour of birth, and exclusive breastfeeding for the first 2 days were associated with PPD (p < 0.05). For children, 6–24 months, minimum meal frequency, minimum dietary diversity, zero consumption of fruits and green vegetables, and initiation of semisolid and soft food were associated with the postpartum depression status of the mother (p < 0.05). The infants of the depressed mothers were 10 %, 16 % and 20 % more likely to be underweight, wasted and stunted as compared to infants of the mothers who do not show symptoms of PPD. ConclusionMeasurement of prevalence of PPD is essential to manage it. It is essential to build mental health inclusive policies/programmes for mother and child health, engage in capacity building of grassroot workers to spread awareness about PPD, and be skilled to identify and refer the early signs of PPD.

Childhood Maltreatment and Toxic Stress: What We Have Learned From the COVID-19 Pandemic Era.

Stress is a natural state that emerges due to the dynamics of an individual's life. Children must learn how to effectively manage stress as part of their growth and development. Resolution is possible when children are exposed to stress and receive adequate support from their families. However, when stress is intense, frequent, protracted, or traumatic, as in cases of childhood abuse, it can become toxic and interfere with the development of the child's brain and body. This results in vulnerability, which can have detrimental effects on the child's overall physical, mental, and emotional health. This perspective discusses the impact of childhood maltreatment and toxic stress, drawing on insights gained during the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to shed light on the lessons learned from this unique and challenging period and how they inform our understanding of the effects of stress on children's well-being.

The impact of palliative care and parental involvement on the emotional health of children with cancer: an integrative review

The objective of this study was to carry out an integrative review to analyze the impact of palliative care and parental involvement on the emotional health of children with cancer. For the search, the PubMed database was considered, with the following descriptors: “Mental health; Palliative care; Health; Oncology". Articles using only the English language were included, with individuals aged between 0 and 18 years old, with publication data from 2019 to 2023. After the research carried out, 5 articles were selected, in which it was identified that children undergoing Palliative care presents increased fear, pain relief and fewer depressive symptoms. In addition, research shows that parents have an important role in alleviating the negative impacts of cancer treatment on children. Parents are adept at palliative care, due to some factors, such as: lack of recognition, accessibility and understanding of how palliative care works. Therefore, it is concluded that the impacts of exposure to palliative care and parental involvement are beneficial to the emotional health of the patient. oncological child.

Black and Latiné parents' perspectives on supporting their children's emotional and physical health.

Informed by integrative models of cultural resilience, the purpose of this study was to (a) explore how parents are promoting their children's emotional and physical health, with a focus on race and ethnic-racial socialization strategies, and (b) identify the barriers and challenges parents are experiencing in supporting their children's health. Ethnically racially matched qualitative interviews were conducted with 33 parents (82% women, 64% Black, 36% Latiné). Results of thematic analysis revealed three overarching themes: (a) Strategies for Promoting Children's Physical and Emotional Health, (b) Challenges Promoting Children's Physical and Emotional Health, and (c) Impact of Racism on Parenting and Children's Health. Most parents believed that racism had an impact on their parenting decisions and their children's health; however, there were some differences in ethnic-racial socialization practices between Black and Latiné parents. Findings have implications for culturally relevant parenting approaches to support children's emotional and physical health.

Clinical Considerations in Working with Children and Adolescents of Color: Past, Present, and Future

Background: Systemic racism and health inequality for Children and Adolescents of Color (CAoC) and their families need to be acknowledged and addressed in the provision of mental health treatment by child and adolescent psychiatrists. The lack of parity for behavioral health drives the lack of integration of “mental” health with overall health and the lack of funding, policy, planning, and practices to support the social and emotional health of children and their families. Additionally, the unequal treatment faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) children and their families further impacts their overall health and mental health outcomes. Implicit biases, conscious and unconscious, influence clinical judgments, lead to errors in diagnostic and treatment decisions and impair child and adolescent psychiatrists’ ability to fully partner with families to treat, advocate for, and improve the clinical and life trajectories of this diverse group of young people and families that child and adolescent psychiatrists are called to serve. Methods: Using a case vignette, this paper discusses historical examples showing how child and adolescent psychiatrists’ implicit bias may manifest when working with CAoC. Medical training and clinical practice have paid scant attention to the broader impacts of systemic racism and inequities in healthcare until recent years. Discussion: This article provides clinical recommendations for clinicians to navigate these factors through trauma-centered and patient-centered care. Viewing through the lens of intergenerational racial trauma and acknowledging one’s own bias, clinicians can better help and support CAoC as they strive toward a brighter future.

Penerapan Konsep Teori Model Betty Neuman Pada Asuhan Keperawatan Dengan Hospitalisasi Pada Anak di Rumah Sakit

Hospitalization is a situation where a child is required to stay and be in the hospital in a planned manner to receive care and treatment from the time he is admitted to the hospital until the child is allowed to go home again. Hospitalization is considered an event that can be stressful for children. One of the impacts of hospitalization on children is anxiety. Anxiety is a general term for hormonal changes that occur in response to threatening or frightening events or conditions, which can inhibit children's behavior, cognitive capacity, and emotional and physical health. More persistent frightening and threatening situations are more frequently experienced by children. The general aim of this case study is to implement the application of the concept of the Betty Neuman model theory to nursing care with hospitalization of children in hospitals. The research method in this case study involves the application of a nursing process approach method based on the selected nursing theory. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observation, physical examination, and implementation of nursing care. The data sources used involve primary data obtained directly from patients, and secondary data originating from families, health workers, as well as documentation of other examination results to carry out nursing care. The results of nursing care by applying the Betty Neuman model theory to nursing care with hospitalization of children in hospitals are that anxiety related to hospitalization of children improves and ineffective coping related to inadequate preparation for stressors experienced by children also improves.

Creating Healthy Environments for Schools: A Comprehensive Approach to Improving Nutrition in Arkansas Public Schools.

Nutrition plays a vital role in children's physical and emotional health. More than half of school age children's calories are provided in the school food environment, making school interventions an opportunity to address child nutrition. The Creating Health Environments for Schools (CHEFS) program is designed to leverage local resources to create customized solutions that improve the nutritional content of school food and encourage children to choose healthier food. There are 8 components: (1) customizing nutrition plans, (2) modifying/replacing menu items, (3) helping procure healthier food, (4) providing equipment grants, (5) training cafeteria staff, (6) implementing environmental changes and nudges, (7) engaging students and parents, and (8) supporting sustainability. Supporting child nutrition directors is key to facilitating cooperation with schools. Menu modifications and procurement are interrelated and depend on successfully collaborating with corporate, independent, and local food services organizations. Limited school budgets require low or no-cost solutions and staff training. Student and parent engagement are critical to facilitate culturally-appropriate solutions that increase awareness of healthy food. Every school district has particular resources and constraints. CHEFs engaged stakeholders to design customized solutions and encourage healthier nutrition for school children.

Emotional Condition Of Adolescents From Divorced Parents

Divorce in the family always has a profound impact on children. Divorce cases can cause stress, pressure, and cause physical and mental changes. Children whose parents have divorced tend not to be able to control their emotions, a child's behavior like this is due to frustration in him so that they can vent their emotions in themselves. Parents are an important role in shaping the character and development of their children. In adolescence to adulthood, this can be dangerous and can affect the psychology of children, because in adolescence they tend to be emotional in expressing something, because they are not yet able to fully control their physical and psychological functions. The research method used is to use a qualitative approach using references from various sources, including books, journals, articles, and other documents. Divorce is not the only way out for problems in a family to be resolved quickly, If there is a divorce in the family, it always has a deep impact, especially on their children. When a child is a teenager, they have begun to understand what divorce means. And because of the divorce of parents, there is a very big change in teenagers such as the problem of children becoming aggressive, not confident, pessimistic about love, and depression. And there are profound effects on a child's physical and emotional health, as well as their ability to get along with their peers.

Training of women as promoters of social and emotional health in children and adolescents

Abstract Background Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the ‘silent pandemics’ associated with mental health became more visible; likewise, the confinement made us reflect on the importance of family environments for health promotion. On the other hand, child and adolescent suicide increases alarmingly; a context that highlights the need to consolidate health promotion actions from the emotional and social dimensions based on educational strategies with the community, be women, key to strengthen the community health system. Objectives To train 46 women as social and emotional health promoters in children and adolescents through the gamification methodology; 9 training sessions were held, developing the modules: a) Definition of social health and emotional health and play and gamification tools, b) Social health, c) Emotional health and d) Proposal for health promotion. Results Community mothers and women caregivers succeeded: a) Identification and application of the gamification methodology for the formulation of health promotion actions based on the projects implemented, such as: ‘I take care of myself to care for another', ‘Run with My Emotions', ‘Take Care of Myself and Be Happy', ‘Educational Mental Health', ‘Happy Explorers', ‘Active Squad'; b) Recognition of social and emotional health as well as personal and context risk factors; and c) Benefit your 46 families, an average of 5 persons per household, serving 230 persons in the community and 475 children and adolescents belonging to 36 community homes involved in the process. Conclusions Installed capacity was generated by certifying 46 women in the course: Gamification, play and playful, fundamental axes in the promotion of social and emotional health in children and adolescents; evidencing the strengthening of social and family ties based on the personal growth of trained women and the recognition of the role of participating women as multipliers and health promoters in their communities. Key messages • Gamification as a methodology for health education evidence significant learning in women and in their transfer of knowledge to children and adolescents. • Training women as health promoters makes it possible to strengthen the community health system, recognizing the educational role they have in their families and communities to be multipliers.

The Impacts of Divorce on Children: Exploring Consequences and Seeking Legitimate Solutions

With the acceleration of the divorce rate from the mid- 1960s to the early 1980s, the number of nontraditional families (such as single-parent families and reconstituted families) have increased relative to intact, first-time nuclear families, Divorce as a social carcass which yields as a results of separation between parents (couples) and divert them from their marriage rights has become one of the static problems of the day. . Although not entirely consistent, the pattern of empirical findings suggests that children's emotional, social, physical, and mental health adjustment, gender-role orientation, and antisocial behavior are affected by family structure, whereas other dimensions of well-being are unaffected. But the review indicates that these findings should be interpreted with caution because of the methodological deficiencies of many of the studies on which these findings are based. Several variables, including the level of family conflict, may be central variables mediating the effect of family structure on children. The purpose and aim of this paper is to investigate and study the consequences of Divorce on children. The study will also pinpoint the reasons of Divorce and effects both negative and positive aspect of Divorce. Secondary data will be apprehended to help as a perspective guide from recognized sources to elaborate the collective consequences of divorce on children. The study will also draw conclusions based on the diverse consequences of divorce on children.

The Commit to Be Fit framework: a community case study of a multi-level, holistic school-based wellness initiative in rural Virginia.

Public health interventions that target children's physical, mental, and emotional health will enhance their ability to learn and grow. Although more complex, school initiatives that address multiple ecological levels and take a holistic view may be more effective and likely to lead to lasting change. This article presents the framework of Commit to Be Fit (C2BF) as an example of how schools can integrate multi-level and holistic approaches for health. This innovative school-based intervention includes activities addressing individual, home, school, and community to create a culture of wellness. We describe the implementation of C2BF and its basis in ecological models and give examples of activities across three components: cafeteria, classroom, and community. We discuss challenges and note that leadership engagement and alignment were critical elements for C2BF's success thus far. C2BF uses a school-based multi-level approach to creating a culture of wellness and holistic health for students, teachers, and community members. C2BF is unique compared to other school-based programming and includes activities that address all eight domains posited for program sustainability within public health. Built to be flexible and adaptive, C2BF was able to successfully pivot during the COVID pandemic and also follow new science. C2BF and other multi-level holistic approaches are more likely to achieve long-term change by utilizing strategies across the multiple levels of the ecological model to improve health and wellbeing.

Emotional problems in young children during the SARS-CoV-2-pandemic and child attachment.

Restrictions imposed by national governments during SARS-CoV-2-pandemic have impacted the mental health of children around the world. Studies have already proven the importance of secure attachment acting as a protective factor in child development. Therefore, children with secure attachment have a higher chance of developing and using appropriate coping mechanisms. The goal of this study was to explore the possible connection between the pandemic, as well as child attachment, and young children's emotional health. The general hypothesis assumes a lower rate of emotional problems among children with secure attachment and a higher rate of emotional problems among children with insecure-disorganized attachment, as well as an increase of these problems during the pandemic. The analysis included N = 129 mothers (M = 39.98 years) and their children (M = 5.19 years). Via an online survey, which was held at different time points during the pandemic, information on the children's emotional problems was retrieved. The survey used the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Data regarding the quality of attachment was collected via the Strange Situations Test (SST). At this point the participating children were approximately 12 months old. The calculation of a mixed ANCOVA showed, that attachment quality had a significant influence on children's emotional problems [F(2, 121) = 4.01, p = .021]. The interaction effect between time and child attachment reached significance [F(3.45, 208.42) = 3.58, p = .011]. The calculation of an additional mixed ANCOVA showed, that the reported emotional problems of girls were higher than those of boys F(1, 118) = 4.56, p = .035). Our study shows that there is an association between attachment security and emotional problems and the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the mental health of preschool children in Germany. The emotional problems of all children increased, especially the disorganized attached children had been reported as emotionally stressed in the first lockdown. The results indicate the need for preventive services (for children and parents) to promote and maintain stress coping skills in order to maintain children's mental health in times of crisis.

A comprehensive wireless neurological and cardiopulmonary monitoring platform for pediatrics.

Neurodevelopment in the first 10 years of life is a critical time window during which milestones that define an individual's functional potential are achieved. Comprehensive multimodal neurodevelopmental monitoring is particularly crucial for socioeconomically disadvantaged, marginalized, historically underserved and underrepresented communities as well as medically underserved areas. Solutions designed for use outside the traditional clinical environment represent an opportunity for addressing such health inequalities. In this work, we present an experimental platform, ANNE EEG, which adds 16-channel cerebral activity monitoring to the existing, USA FDA-cleared ANNE wireless monitoring platform which provides continuous electrocardiography, respiratory rate, pulse oximetry, motion, and temperature measurements. The system features low-cost consumables, real-time control and streaming with widely available mobile devices, and fully wearable operation to allow a child to remain in their naturalistic environment. This multi-center pilot study successfully collected ANNE EEG recordings from 91 neonatal and pediatric patients at academic quaternary pediatric care centers and in LMIC settings. We demonstrate the practicality and feasibility to conduct electroencephalography studies with high levels of accuracy, validated via both quantitative and qualitative metrics, compared against gold standard systems. An overwhelming majority of parents surveyed during studies indicated not only an overall preference for the wireless system, but also that its use would improve their children's physical and emotional health. Our findings demonstrate the potential for the ANNE system to perform multimodal monitoring to screen for a variety of neurologic diseases that have the potential to negatively impact neurodevelopment.

Pica in childhood: Prevalence and developmental comorbidity

BackgroundPica is an eating disorder in which a person feels the urge to eat non-nutritious, non-food substances. It can occur at any age; however, a higher prevalence is observed among children with mental health issues and pregnant women. Recently, additional attention has been given to the role of sensory sensitivity in eating disorders.Aim of the studyTo examine the prevalence of pica in preschool children and explore the associations with increased sensory sensitivity traits and rates of internalizing and externalizing difficulties.MethodologyParents/guardians of children aged 3–6 years were asked to complete an anonymous online questionnaire containing demographic data, questions regarding the peculiarities of children's eating, sensory sensitivity. Furthermore, a Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was also completed. This study included 655 participants. Of those 655, 41 study participants who did not complete the questionnaire were excluded. The final sample consisted of 614 participants who had completed the questionnaire.ResultsApproximately, 3.7% of participants indicated that their child ate non-nutritious, non-food substances. Children with increased sensory sensitivity traits in response to sounds (p = 0.008), visual stimuli (p &amp;lt; 0.001), and skin contact (p = 0.006) ate significantly more non-nutritious non-food substances. Those who had higher scores on internalizing and externalizing difficulties had more difficulties associated with eating. Children who had increased sensory sensitivity to sounds, visual stimuli, or skin contact had significantly more internalizing difficulties (p &amp;lt; 0.05). There were no significant differences between higher externalizing difficulties and increased sensory sensitivity to sounds, visual stimuli, skin contact, or smells (p &amp;gt; 0.05).ConclusionsChildren with increased sensory sensitivity traits were more likely to eat inedible substances than those without. Furthermore, children who had increased sensory sensitivity traits were significantly more picky about food and had more internalizing difficulties. It is important for specialists to combine clinical data on the characteristics of a child's development, including sensory, eating, and emotional health aspects.

Children's social emotional competence in Pakistan and Sweden: Factor structure and measurement invariance of the Social Competence Scale (teacher edition).

Social emotional competence is fundamental to the positive development of children and youth. Accurately understanding and assessing children's social emotional competencies, using psychometrically sound instruments, are essential to global efforts to support children's social emotional learning, academic achievements, and health. This study examined the psychometric properties of a teacher-reported measure of young children's social emotional competence, the Social Competence Scale - Teacher edition (SCS-T), in two samples of children growing up with varied economic resources/conditions, cultural norms, and educational experiences, namely Pakistan (N = 396) and Sweden (N = 309). Participants were aged 4-6 years old. The study design was cross-sectional. Using structural equation modelling, bi-factor confirmatory factor analysis models implying shared variance, among all items and domain-specific shared variance, among the prosocial items, emotion regulation items, and academic skills items resulted in good fitting models in each respective sample. Invariance testing across samples revealed a subset of items from each factor structure with partial scalar invariance, whereby five items had equal thresholds and could be comparable across the two samples. Thus, results provided partial support for hypotheses 1, 2, and 3, in that the posited three factor model (H1) was not clearly supported and a bi-factor model evidenced the best fit, among tested models, for both samples. Further, partial scalar invariance (H3) was found for five items out of 25 items, concerning social competence and academic skills. In regards, to the posited research question, the results of Z-tests showed significant (p < 0.001) latent mean differences between the samples. Compared to the Swedish sample, the Pakistani sample was 1.80 units lower on social competence (z = -6.41, p < 0.001) and 1.86 units lower on academic skills (z = -7.87, p < 0.001). The implications of these findings in light of efforts to promote positive child development in diverse parts of the world are considered.
