Comparison of adolescent and parental perception of health-related quality of life of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis

Purpose: Evaluation of the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of individuals with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is important because of the physical and psychosocial problems caused by IS. In general, children interact closely with their parents and are thus influenced by their parents’ opinions. It is thus useful to examine adolescent and parental perceptions of the adolescent’s HRQoL for the rehabilitation of individuals with IS.
 Methods: This study compared the adolescents’ and their parents’ perceptions of the adolescent’s HRQoL including 65 individuals with IS (10–18 years). It was used the pediatric quality of life inventory (PedsQL) to assess the adolescents’ HRQoL and to examine the domains of physical health, emotional functioning, social functioning, school functioning, and psychosocial health.
 Results: The results showed that the scores of the adolescents were higher than their parents’ in social functioning. Scores of social functioning and HRQoL were higher in girls than in their parents.
 Conclusion: This discrepancy between the adolescents and their parents may have a negative effect on their rehabilitation, healthy social integration, and adaptation of individuals with IS. Shedding light on the reasons for this discrepancy would be beneficial for raising the awareness of parents with children with IS about this issue.

Modelling permanent magnet excited uniform fields with rational approximations

Purpose A novel method for modelling permanent magnets is investigated based on numerical approximations with rational functions. This study aims to introduce the AAA algorithm and other recently developed, cutting-edge mathematical tools, which provide outstandingly fast and accurate numerical computation of potentials and vector fields. Design/methodology/approach First, the AAA algorithm is briefly introduced along with its main variants and other advanced mathematical tools involved in the modelling. Then, the analysis of a circular Halbach array with a one-pole pair is carried out by means of the AAA-least squares method, focusing on vector potential and flux density in the bore and validating results by means of classic finite element software. Finally, the investigation is completed by a finite difference analysis. Findings AAA methods for field analysis prove to be strikingly fast and accurate. Results are in excellent agreement with those provided by the finite element model, and the very good agreement with those from finite differences suggests future improvements. They are also easy programming; the MATLAB code is less than 200 lines. This indicates they can provide an effective tool for rapid analysis. Research limitations/implications AAA methods in magnetostatics are novel, but their extension to analogous physical problems seems straightforward. Being a meshless method, it is unlikely that local non-linearities can be considered. An aspect of particular interest, left for future research, is the capability of handling inhomogeneous domains, i.e. solving general interface problems. Originality/value The authors use cutting-edge mathematical tools for the modelling of complex physical objects in magnetostatics.

Bottom-up hierarchical and categorical metacomputing for automating composition and deployment of directly computable multiphysics models

The present paper describes a proposed solution for reducing the complexity and time required by experienced users of legacy codes for solving multiphysics problems. A bottom-up hierarchical specification-driven metacomputing framework was developed to automate the composition and deployment of necessary resources, and the generation of all necessary code, files, and parameter selections required for solving multiphysics problems. Utilization of the framework amounts to the generation of directly computable multiphysics models. The user’s role is reduced to providing (through a graphical user interface) the specification of the problem and its associated physics every time a new problem arises, while the rest of the resources are specified once at the beginning of the process. The proposed approach requires enabling and implementing transformation and composition of specifications describing seemingly heterogeneous entities such as problem (physics, boundary and initial conditions) and computational resources specifications. This is achieved by the utilization of Category Theory constructs and software that can implement them. This framework features a graphical user interface for capturing physics problem specifications at the meta-meta level, generating runtime scripts and input files for problem solving, and capturing problem specifications intuitively. Finally, the framework is demonstrated with its application to a conjugate heat transfer challenge problem associated with an aerobraking structure under hypersonic conditions.

Challenges and support needs in psychological and physical health among pilots: a qualitative study.

Physical and mental health problems among pilots affect their working state and impact flight safety. Although pilots' physical and mental health problems have become increasingly prominent, their health has not been taken seriously. This study aimed to clarify challenges and support needs related to psychological and physical health among pilots to inform development of a more scientific and comprehensive physical and mental health system for civil aviation pilots. This qualitative study recruited pilots from nine civil aviation companies. Focus group interviews via an online conference platform were conducted in August 2022. Colaizzi analysis was used to derive themes from the data and explore pilots' experiences, challenges, and support needs. The main sub-themes capturing pilots' psychological and physical health challenges were: (1) imbalance between family life and work; (2) pressure from assessment and physical examination eligibility requirements; (3) pressure from worries about being infected with COVID-19; (4) nutrition deficiency during working hours; (5) changes in eating habits because of the COVID-19 pandemic; (6) sleep deprivation; (7) occupational diseases; (8) lack of support from the company in coping with stress; (9) pilots' yearly examination standards; (10) support with sports equipment; (11) respecting planned rest time; and (12) isolation periods. The interviewed pilots experienced major psychological pressure from various sources, and their physical health condition was concerning. We offer several suggestions that could be addressed to improve pilots' physical and mental health. However, more research is needed to compare standard health measures for pilots around the world in order to improve their physical and mental health and contribute to overall aviation safety.

Asymptotically quasiperiodic solutions for time-dependent Hamiltonians

Dynamical systems subject to perturbations that decay over time are relevant in describing many physical models, e.g. when considering the effect of a laser pulse on a molecule, in epidemiological studies, and celestial mechanics. For this purpose, we consider time-dependent Hamiltonian vector fields that are the sum of two components. The first has an invariant torus supporting quasiperiodic solutions, and the second decays as time tends to infinity. The time decay is modelled by functions satisfying suitable conditions verified by a proper polynomial decay in time. We prove the existence of orbits converging as time tends to infinity to the quasiperiodic solutions associated with the unperturbed system. The proof of this result relies on a new strategy based on a refined analysis of the Banach spaces and the functionals involved in the resolution of suitable nonlinear invariant equations. This result is proved for finite differentiable and real-analytic Hamiltonians. Analogous statements for time-dependent vector fields on the torus are also obtained as a corollary. These results extend a previous work of Canadell and de la Llave, where only exponential decay in time is considered. The relaxation of the decay in time makes the results in the present paper suited for applications in many physical problems, such as celestial dynamics.

Barriers to Cervical Cancer Screening by Sexual Orientation Among Low-Income Women in North Carolina

AbstractWe sought to examine cervical cancer screening barriers by sexual orientation among low-income women in North Carolina. The MyBodyMyTest-3 Trial recruited low-income women (< 250% of federal poverty level) aged 25–64 years who were 1+ year overdue for cervical cancer screening. We compared perceptions of cervical cancer screening among those who self-identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ; n = 70) to straight/heterosexual women (n = 683). For both LGBQ and straight respondents, the greatest barriers to screening were lack of health insurance (63% and 66%) and cost (49% and 50%). LGBQ respondents were more likely than straight respondents to report forgetting to screen (16% vs. 8%, p = .05), transportation barriers (10% vs. 2%, p = .001), and competing mental or physical health problems (39% vs. 27%, p = .10). Addressing access remains important for improving cervical cancer screening among those under-screened. For LGBQ women, additional attention may be needed for reminders, co-occurring health needs, and transportation barriers.

Understanding Barriers and Distress Experienced Among Cancer Patients: Analysis from an Urban Academic Emergency Department.

The purpose of this study was to examine barriers and facilitators to compliance for cancer care in patients utilizing an emergency department (ED)-based assessment. Adult ED patients who either had active cancer or a history of cancer were enrolled between August 2020 and Jan 2022 for this prospective cohort study. We piloted the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Distress Thermometer. Multivariable regression analyses were used to assess the predictors of high distress. Of the 152 patients enrolled, 73% were Black patients, 11% were non-Hispanic White, and 16% included patients from other racial and ethnic groups (including 10.5% Hispanic patients); 73% of the sample had active cancer. The current ED visit was cancer related for 44%. The mean score on the Distress Thermometer was 4 (SD = 2; range 0-8) with 30% having a high distress level of ≥ 6. Having an active cancer and race/ethnicity were significant predictors of high distress. Patients who had active cancer had three times (aOR = 3.01; 95% CI 1.12-8.10) higher odds of experiencing high distress in the past week compared to those who did not have active cancer, after adjusting for race/ethnicity and reason for visit. Practical problems and physical problems were the most common, with 43% (n = 66) and 40% (n = 61) of the patients reporting these problems, respectively. Despite significant progress in cancer care, cancer patients/survivors face difficulty in transitioning between care environments and end up seeking episodic care in the ED and experience a high level of distress.

Examining Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome in Relation to Social Problem Solving in Young Adults.

Cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS), previously referred to as sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT), is characterized by symptoms such as excessive daydreaming, mental confusion, and hypoactivity. CDS symptoms are associated with emotional, social, and daily life impairments. The way in which one solves problems in their daily life is associated with experiences of further problems, such that maladaptive problem-solving can lead to further physical and psychological problems. However, there is limited information on how CDS symptoms are associated with problem solving. The current study examined CDS symptoms in relation to different social problem solving approaches. A total of 280 college students (ages 18-23 years; 77.9% female) completed measures of psychopathology symptoms and social problem solving. Above and beyond ADHD and internalizing symptoms, CDS symptoms were independently associated with negative problem orientation and avoidance style domains of maladaptive problem solving. Findings indicate that CDS symptoms are related to specific difficulties with social problem solving. CDS symptoms may lead to difficulties attending to problems or working through relevant steps needed to identify solutions for the problem, which may then lead to avoidance and social withdrawal. Longitudinal research is needed to evaluate maladaptive problem solving as a potential mechanism in the association between CDS, social withdrawal, and internalizing symptoms.

A study to assess the prevalence of menopausal symptoms and its impact on quality of life in the menopausal women in a selected Urban community, Kolkata, West Bengal

Menopause is the end of menstruation. Menopause is cessation of menstruation for 12 months or a period that equivalent to three previous cycles or as time of cessation of ovarian function resulting in permanent amenorrhea. Menopause is a part of a women’s natural ageing process when lower level of estrogen & progesterone is produced by ovaries. This cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 400 women in the age group of 45-50 years in a selected urban community, Kolkata, West Bengal in 2020. Menopause Specific Quality of Life scale was used to assess the prevalence of menopausal symptoms and its impact. Data analysis was performed calculating mean, frequency and percentage and chisquare. Among the vasomotor symptoms prevalence of sweating was maximum (98%), among psychological symptoms anxiety and nervousness was the maximum prevalent symptoms(98%), most prevalent physical symptom was lack of energy (89.25%). Vasomotor symptoms had mild moderate and severe impact on quality of life where the other symptoms had mild and moderate impact on quality of life. Menopausal symptoms had significant association with socio demographic variables. The results support the popular belief that menopause causes vasomotor, physical and psychological problems. From the findings of the present study it can be concluded that almost all areas or domains evaluated were impaired in menopausal women but the vasomotor and psychological symptoms affects women’s quality of life more than the physical and sexual symptoms of menopause

Psychological adjustment: A promising approach in the treatment of women with breast cancer

After cardiovascular diseases, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world, affecting the lives of patients at all individual and social levels [1]. According to reports, every year 1.5 million people are diagnosed with breast cancer and 502,000 people die from this disease [2]. In case of survival, the complications of the disease and related treatments may greatly reduce the quality of life of affected people [3]. The diagnosis of breast cancer and its treatment is considered one of the basic crises in the lives of affected people and causes countless problems for affected women and their families [4]. Breast cancer, like any type of chronic and debilitating disease, endangers various aspects of health, both on the individual and social levels, and, like other chronic diseases, reduces individual performance and consequently quality of life [5]. The application of treatment measures such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy and the receipt of toxic drugs can have side effects and the patient experiences double problems, which can affect their quality of life [6]. Among the problems that usually affect the quality of life of cancer patients include physical problems such as pain and fatigue, psychological and mental effects caused by the disease such as depression, as well as the effects of the disease on family, marital, social relationships, and economic problems caused by it is from illness [5]. Meanwhile, psychological adjustment as an influencing factor has a significant role in quality of life and more effective performance among cancer survivors [7].

Probing rotated Weyl points on one-dimensional sonic crystals

Recently, researchers have devoted their intense efforts to investigating Weyl physics in synthetic space. In this Letter, we study the intriguing topological rotated Weyl physics in a three-dimensional parameter space, which consists of two extra structural parameters and the wave vector of a simple one-dimensional sonic crystal. In our ultrasonic experiments, we observe that the topological interface states propagate along the interface formed by two sonic crystals of distinct chirality caused by the rotated Weyl points. We detect the rotated synthetic Weyl points and measure the singularities of the reflection phase, which results in the robustness of the interface states. At the same time, it also shows the advantages of synthetic dimensions in exploring high-dimensional physics problems in low-dimensional systems.

СЛОЖНОСТЬ ФОРМУЛ И МЕТОДОВ РЕШЕНИЯ ЗАДАЧ ПО МКТ, ТЕРМОДИНАМИКЕ, ОПТИКЕ, ФИЗИКЕ МИКРОМИРА И ЧТО

The article is devoted to the problem of determining the complexity of formulas and methods used to solve school problems in molecular physics and thermodynamics, optics, microcosm physics and the special theory of relativity. As a result of the content analysis of school textbooks, all formulas related to the listed sections were written out and 17 topics are identified, each of which corresponds to its own method of solving problems. In order to determine semantic complexity, formulas are presented in the form of statements that are stored in a text file Formuli.txt. To a file Slovar.txt the list of concepts denoting physical quantities is placed, indicating their complexities. Using a special computer program that analyzes the file Formuli.txt the semantic complexities of the formulas, their volume and the information folding coefficient are determined. The complexities of the methods are calculated, the distributions of formulas in the space of "semantic complexity - volume" signs are analyzed. Based on the number of formulas in each method and the number of methods in each section, the complexity of choosing a suitable formula for independent solving a single-formula task is estimated. It is shown how to take into account the uncertainty of the choice of formulas when solving two- and three-formula tasks to find their complexities.

The Relative Frequency of Anxiety and Its Correlation with Individual and Family Factors Among Adolescents in Shiraz, 2020: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problems in adolescents. Uncontrolled anxiety disorders during this period not only negatively affect adolescents' current performance but can also have long-term negative consequences on their physical and mental health. Objectives: This study is designed to investigate the relative frequency of anxiety and its correlation with individual and family characteristics among first-grade high school students in Shiraz, 2020. Methods: This is a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study, conducted on 360 first-grade high school students who were selected using a multi-stage sampling method in Shiraz, Iran. Data were collected through online questionnaire software, which included the Beck Anxiety Inventory and a Demographic Questionnaire, and were analyzed using SPSS software version 24. Results: The relative frequency of anxiety disorders in the study samples was 59.7% (60.9% in girls and 56.6% in boys); among them, 13.1% experienced severe anxiety, 16.9% had moderate anxiety, and 29.7% had mild anxiety. The results of univariate analysis showed correlations between anxiety disorders and factors such as father's unemployment (P = 0.04), a history of physical and mental problems in teenagers (P = 0.04 and P = 0.001, respectively), and the lack of friendly relations between family members (P = 0.001). Additionally, the results of logistic regression analysis indicated that adolescents with mental illness and those lacking friendly relationships within their family had higher chances of experiencing anxiety disorders compared to other participants (OR = 5.00, P = 0.04 and OR = 9.95, P = 0.002, respectively). Conclusions: In this study, mental illness and the lack of friendly relations between family members emerged as significant factors contributing to adolescents' anxiety. Therefore, identifying and addressing these related factors, along with timely diagnosis and treatment of this disorder in adolescents, should be prioritized by mental health officials.

Impact of chemical reaction on hybrid nanofluid (GO + MoS2) flow over an exponentially stretching sheet with Soret and Dufour effects

AbstractThe Soret and Dufour effects play a crucial role in various fields such as geosciences, groundwater pollutant migration, chemical reactor operations, binary alloy solidification, and isotope separation. This study focuses on examining the impact of mixed convective flow on hybrid nanofluid through an exponentially stretching sheet with Soret and Dufour effects. The flow is affected by factors like variable viscosity, radiation, viscous dissipation, and activation energy. Instead of the no‐slip condition at the boundary, velocity slip, thermal slip, and concentration slip are considered. The physical problem is modeled using boundary layer theory, and flow patterns are expressed using partial differential equations (PDEs). These governing fluid flow equations are transformed into non‐linearly coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using exponential similarity transformations. These simplified ODEs are resolved using the MATLAB bvp4c package. The effects of physical parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration are illustrated through figures. Additionally, the drag force coefficient and heat and mass transfer rates are calculated for various parameters and presented graphically and in tabular form. It is observed that compared to nanofluids, the drag force coefficient of hybrid nanofluids increases by up to 21.05% with various solute buoyancy parameters (δ). Also, the mass transfer rate of hybrid nanofluids can be increased by .96% by the chemical reaction rate (σm). A comparison of this work with previously published research has been reported.

Using cryotherapy, EMLA (eutectic lidocaine/prilocaine) cream, or lidocaine spray to reduce pain during arteriovenous fistula puncture: A randomized controlled trial.

In hemodialysis patients, pain associated with needle insertion into an arteriovenous fistula is a physical and psychological problem. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of pre-puncture application of an ice pack, EMLA cream, or lidocaine spray to reduce pain associated with access puncture. This was a multicenter study done in nine hemodialysis centers in Iraq. The study utilized a randomized, parallel-group design, in which patients being dialyzed using an arteriovenous access were allocated into one of four groups. Access puncture was preceded by nothing (control group), by use of ice pack cooling at the puncture site, by application of EMLA cream, or by application of lidocaine spray. Pain after access puncture was assessed during a single treatment for each patient. Pain was quantified using a Visual Analogue Scale. A total of 1548 patients agreed to participate, and 1041 patients were included in the data analysis. Use of an ice pack, EMLA cream, or lidocaine spray each was associated with a lower pain score on access puncture compared with no pretreatment. The mean Visual Analogue Scores in the four groups were: 69.7 ± 15.7 in the controls, 39.8 ± 13.2 in the ice pack group, 45 ± 18.4 in the EMLA group, and 52.9 ± 15.2 in lidocaine group. Ranking of the pain severity scores suggested that ice pack use was associated with the least pain, followed by use of EMLA cream and use of lidocaine spray (severity score ranking, from lowest to highest, being 1.62, 2.18, and 2.63, respectively). Application of an ice pack prior to vascular access puncture is a fast and inexpensive technique to limit pain associated with this procedure.

Polymer Physics behind the Gel-Spinning of UHMWPE Fibers.

Gel-spinning of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers has attracted great interest in academia and industry since its birth and commercialization in the 1980s, due to unique properties such as high modulus, low density, and excellent chemical resistance. However, the high viscosity and long relaxation time greatly complicate processing. In industry, solvents, like decalin and paraffin oil, usually disentangle the physical networks and promote final drawability. From extruding the polymer solution to post-solid-stretching, many polymer physics problems that accompany high-modulus fiber gel-spinning should be understood and addressed. In this review, by detailed discussions about the effect of entanglements and intracrystalline chain dynamics on the mechanical properties of UHMWPE, theoretical descriptions of the structure formation of disentangled UHMWPE crystals, and the origin of high modulus and strength of final fibers are provided. Several physical intrinsic key factors are also discussed, revealing why UHMWPE is an ideal material for producing high-performance fibers.

Recent trends in an uncommon method of carbon monoxide suicide.

The most prevalent method of carbon monoxide (CO) suicide is inhalation of vehicle exhaust (VE). However, a new method of CO suicide has recently emerged involving charcoal burning (CB) in a confined space to produce fatal CO levels. This method has been reported from countries in Asia, associated with economic instability and media reporting of high-profile celebrity cases. The current study was undertaken to analyze rates and characteristics of CB suicides in South Australia (SA) for comparison with respect to their characteristics and scene, autopsy and toxicology findings. A search was undertaken for all intentional fatal carbon monoxide poisonings in SA between 2000 and 2019. Collected variables included age, sex, cause of death, location of death, decedent histories, scene, autopsy and toxicology findings and manner of death. Statistical analyses were performed using R (version 4.2.3). There was a significant decrease in VE suicides (p < 0.05) and a significant increase in CB suicides (p < 0.001) over the 20-year period. Those who used CB were found to be, on average, between 1.5 and 15.8 years younger than those who used VE (p = 0.017). The risk factors for CB suicide included psychological/psychiatric conditions and financial problems, while VE suicides were associated with a history of physical problems and contact with the legal system. External and internal autopsy findings were consistent with the literature. CB suicide is perceived to be widely accessible and painless and is therefore becoming a popular suicide method. Monitoring future trends will be important to determine whether intervention is required.

Prevention of Maternal Complication with Ayurveda Regime

Maternal health revolves around the health and wellness of pregnant women at the time they give birth and during child rising. Ayurveda considers food to be the best source of nourishment as well as medication for the pregnant woman. The nine monthly diets are singularly unique to Ayurveda. The food taken by a pregnant woman (Aahar Ras) nourishes and helps the growth of the foetus (Garbha Vriddhi), nourishes the mother's own body (Swa-Sharir Pushti) and nourishes the breasts by which the breast milk formed (Stanyaya). Postpartum period is an important phase of transition in women’s life following childbirth. This period is also known as puerperium, starts following the expulsion of the placenta. Mortality and morbidity of mother are most challenging problems of our country. In our day-to-day life we see many mothers complaining of increase in their physical problems like back-ache, anaemia and many other infections after puerperium. Lady after delivery of placenta is called as Sutika (puerperal woman), Sutikakala (duration of puerperium) is the period following childbirth during which all body tissues revert back approximately to a pre-pregnant state. For better health attainment after delivery every postnatal woman should be encouraged to follow Sutika Paricharya as per Ayurveda classics.

The hidden struggle of overworked urology residents “the hour”: The overlooked burnout, a narrative review

AbstractBurnout is a growing concern across numerous professions and industries worldwide. It has increased for many people since the onset of COVID‐19 due to the stress, uncertainty, and changes brought on by the pandemic. Burnout is also a significant issue in the field of medicine, particularly urology, where residents face long working hours and high workloads, leading to physical and mental health problems, as well as limited opportunities for rest and rejuvenation. This alarming trend highlights the need for more effective measures to address burnout and promote employee well‐being and job satisfaction. A thorough search of electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar was conducted to obtain pertinent articles using relevant keywords. Retrieved articles were screened for relevance, with duplicates and irrelevant articles excluded. Thematic and critical review analysis was conducted on chosen articles, identifying key themes and contributing factors related to burnout in urology residents. The hidden struggle of overworked urology residents and their overlooked burnout represents a complex issue that requires systemic change and individual‐level interventions. Organizations must prioritize employee well‐being by providing adequate support and resources for managing burnout. Additionally, promoting effective leadership practices that prioritize resident well‐being over any personal or institution recognitions or gains is crucial. These steps will improve the quality of care while mitigating negative outcomes for residents.

Perspectives of refugee parents and unaccompanied minors on initial health assessment and access to care.

To explore the needs, expectations, and experiences of asylum-seeking parents and unaccompanied minors under the age of 18years on the initial health assessment for children and adolescents and access to care upon entry in the Netherlands,We conducted five semi-structured focus group discussions with asylum-seeking parents and unaccompanied minors, from Syria, Eritrea, Afghanistan, and other Middle-East and African countries, supported by professional interpreters. To triangulate findings, semi-structured interviews with health care professionals involved in care for refugee children were conducted. Transcripts of focus group discussions were inductively and deductively coded and content analyzed; transcripts of interviews were deductively coded and content analyzed.In total, 31 asylum-seeking participants: 23 parents of 101 children (between 0 and 18years old), 8 unaccompanied minors (between 15 and 17years), and 6 healthcare professionals participated. Parents and minors expressed that upon entry, their needs were met for vaccinations, but not for screening or care for physical and mental health problems. Parents, minors, and health professionals emphasized the necessity of appropriate information and education about health, diseases, and the health system. Cultural change was mentioned as stressful for the parent-child interaction and parental well-being. Conclusion: The perspectives of refugee parents and unaccompanied minors revealed opportunities to improve the experience of and access to health care of refugees entering the Netherlands, especially risk-specific screening and more adequate education about health, diseases, and the Dutch health care system. What is Known: • Refugees have specific health needs due to pre-flight, flight, and resettlement conditions. Health assessment upon entry was non-obligatory in the Netherlands, except for the tuberculosis screening. Health needs were not always met, and refugees experienced barriers in access to care. What is New: • The initial health assessment met the needs concerning vaccinations but mismatched the needs regarding physical and mental health assessment. Screening for specific risk-related diseases and mental health could enable refugee parents and minors to engage better with the health system.
