State-Trait and Separation Anxiety Among Mothers with an Only Child Entering Kindergarten

Parents are the first and best teachers for their children. In homeschooling, the level of separation anxiety in kindergarten children is closely related to the level of anxiety in their mothers. The mother's behavior has a greater impact on the child than the father's. Parents' attitudes toward their children, their attitudes toward kindergarten, their own level of education, and their ability to regulate their emotions all affect the level of separation anxiety of children with their mothers. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the anxiety state of mothers when studying kindergarten anxiety in younger children. Since children spend most of their time with their mothers after leaving kindergarten, they chose to study the state-traits and separation anxiety of mothers of only children entering kindergarten". As early as Bowlby's attachment theory, the infant's emotional attachment to the caregiver was mentioned. Hawke et al. argued that, based on Spielberg's theory of state-trait anxiety, the mother's parent-child separation anxiety is a state of infant anxiety caused by short-term separation. When mothers experience occasional separation anxiety, the mother's state emotions include the following three perceived levels: the mother's self-anxiety, the mother's awareness of her child's anxiety, and the mother's anxiety about her child's lack of maternal care.

Predictors for low coverage of uptake of second dose of measles vaccine among children in sub-Saharan Africa, 2023: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Measles became a public health important disease in sub-Saharan Africa. World Health Organization recommended measles-containing vaccine dose 2 (MCV2) through routine service delivery. This study aims to determine coverage of second-dose measles vaccination uptake and its predictors among children aged 24-35 months in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted an extensive search of literature as indicated in the guideline of reporting systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA). The databases used were PubMed, Google Scholar, and HINARI literature. The overall uptake of the second dose of measles vaccine uptake was 41% (95% CI: 28.90-53.47). Caregiver's awareness of the importance of the second dose of measles (2.51, 95% CI 1.77, 3.25), educational status of mothers (1.30, 95% CI 1.16, 1.45), distance from vaccination site (1.22, 95% CI 1.12, 1.32), and attending four and above ANC visit (2.72, 95% CI 2.29, 3.15) were determinants for second dose measles vaccine uptake. Coverage of the second dose of measles uptake in Sub-Saharan Africa was low (41%) which is lower than the recommendation from WHO. Therefore policymakers and stakeholders should increase mother's awareness. Also, special strategies should be developed for those who are far from the vaccination site.

Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence in Children Aged 6 Months to 8 Years: Factors Associated with Mothers' Awareness of Children's Exposure to This Violence

Early childhood exposure to intimate partner violence (EIPV) is a serious social and public health matter. Parents underestimate EIPV in comparison to their own victimization of intimate partner violence (IPV). However, few studies have attempted to compare the differences between the child's EIPV and the IPV victimization from the mothers' perspective and document the associated explanatory factors. Consequently, this study was conducted on a representative sample of 2046 children aged 6 months to 8 years in Quebec (Canada) to estimate the prevalence of EIPV and mother's awareness of EIPV over the past 12 months and to investigate factors that are associated with mother's awareness of EIPV. Findings revealed that 11.1% of young children were exposed to at least one form of IPV. However, that proportion decreases to 5.9% when the mother is asked whether the child is aware or a witness of the violence. Regression analyses revealed that child's younger age, mother's depressive symptoms, being a single parent, and the presence of adults' violent behaviors toward children were significantly associated with the mother's higher perceived awareness of EIPV. While some of these findings are consistent with previous studies, others such as living in a single-parent family open the door to different interpretations, including the presence of increased postseparation violence. As EIPV is increasingly recognized as affecting children regardless of their awareness of violent events, further studies are needed to better understand the context facilitating parental recognition of this exposure.
