A Prospective Randomized Study of the Efficacy of "Turning Point", An Inpatient Violence Intervention Program

Loveland-Jones, Catherine Elizabeth January 2013 (has links)
Background: From 2002-2011, there were over 17,000 shootings in Philadelphia. "Turning Point", Temple University Hospital's violence intervention program, takes advantage of the teachable moment that occurs after violent injury. In addition to receiving social work services, Turning Point patients watch their trauma bay resuscitation video and a movie about violence, meet with a gunshot wound survivor and an outpatient case manager, and undergo psychiatric assessment. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of Turning Point in changing attitudes toward guns and violence among victims of penetrating trauma. Methods: This prospective randomized study was conducted from January-June 2012. Patients who sustained a gunshot or stab wound were randomized to Standard of Care, which involved social work services only, or Turning Point. The Attitudes Toward Guns and Violence Questionnaire was administered to assess attitude change. Analysis was performed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. A p < 0.05 was significant. Results: A total of 40 out of 159 patients with gunshot or stab wounds were enrolled and completed the study in its entirety. The most common reason for exclusion was anticipated length of stay being less than 48 hours. The two groups were similar with respect to most demographics. Unlike the Standard of Care group, the Turning Point group demonstrated a 44% reduction in its Aggressive Response to Shame, a 33% reduction in its Comfort with Aggression, and a 20% reduction in its overall proclivity toward violence. Conclusion: Turning Point is effective in changing attitudes toward guns and violence among victims of penetrating trauma. Continued enrollment and longer follow-up are necessary to determine if this program can have a long-lasting impact and truly be a turning point in patients' lives. / Public Health

Promoting healthy bonds between adolescent mothers and their babies: a intervention experience / Promoviendo vínculos saludables entre madres adolescentes y sus bebes: una experiencia de intervención

Traverso Koroleff, Pierina 25 September 2017 (has links)
We performed an intervention program aimed at promoting a healthy relationship between teenage mothers and their babies, with 26 mothers between 15 and 19 years old, who have one son or daughter between 0 and 6 months old. They were from a poor area of Lima, Peru. The intervention was conducted in four groups, each of which had ten sessions. We assessed the interaction between mother and baby, the mother’s interpretation of emotions and the maternal representations (a description of the baby, of herself as a mother and of the relationship between them), before and after the program. The same evaluations were performed with a comparison group of 18 young mothers with the same characteristics. The article presents and discusses the results of both evaluations. / Se realizó un programa de intervención dirigido a promover un vínculo saludable entre madres adolescentes y sus bebes, con 26 madres entre 15 y 19 años de edad y con un hijo o hija entre 0 y 6 meses de edad de una zona pobre de Lima, Perú. La intervención se realizó en cuatro grupos y cada uno tuvo diez sesiones. Se evaluó la interacción entre madre y bebe, la interpretación que realiza la madre de los afectos, y las representaciones maternales (descripción del bebe, de sí misma como mamá y de la relación entre los dos), antes y después del programa. Se realizaron las mismas evaluaciones con un grupo comparativo de 18 jóvenes con las mismas características. En este artículo se presentan y discuten los resultados obtenidos en ambas evaluaciones.

Title: Effect of individual intervention programme on selected components of health- related fitness to proband without previous movement experience Objective: The main objective of the thesis is physical analysis and diagnosis of individual, individual intervention program creation and subsequent assessment of whether and how personally leaded program can affect selected components of health-related fitness to proband without any previous experience. Methods: For the needs of this thesis several types of measurements were used. Body composition using bioelectrical impedance analysis, postural stability - posturograph, laboratory stress test on a treadmill, terrain stress test on the athletics track, the basic movement patterns using diagnostic according to Janda, as a complementary test was chosen dynamometer to determine the strength of forearm muscles. Results: During the 16-week intervention changes occurred in many of the parameters. Individual intervention program has brought significant changes in body composition, specifically to reduce the ratio of ECM/BCM in the early phase of the program, but later was its exacerbation. Generally, the trend showed improvement in postural stability due to the generally realized PA. The intervention program did not demonstrate significant changes in...

Intervenção preventiva em práticas educativas parentais aplicada a mães de crianças nascidas pré-termo na primeira infância / Preventive intervention in parental practices applied to mothers of preterm infants in early childhood

Oliveira, Francine Belotti da Silva 04 December 2018 (has links)
O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a efetividade do Programa ACT - Para educar crianças em ambientes seguros, em amostras de mães de crianças nascidas pré-termo em condição de vulnerabilidade, em relação às práticas educativas das mães e aos comportamentos das crianças. Participaram do estudo 30 mães de crianças nascidas pré-termo com idade entre um e sete anos. Além das mães, mais 30 cuidadores participaram da pesquisa, respondendo a um questionário sobre o comportamento da criança. As mães passaram pela intervenção do Programa ACT, que é um programa de prevenção universal da APA para fortalecimento de práticas educativas positivas, redução de violência intrafamiliar contra crianças e redução de problemas emocionais e de comportamento das crianças, com avaliações pré- e pós-intervenção. As práticas educativas maternas foram avaliadas pela escala que consta no próprio programa ACT e pelo PAFAS- Parenting and Families Adjustment Scales. Os indicadores emocionais e de comportamento das crianças foram medidos a partir da percepção das mães e de outro cuidador, avaliados pelo SDQ - Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. O temperamento materno também foi avaliado pelo ATQ - Adult Temperament Questionnaire. Os dados foram processados pelo Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, versão 25.0), a partir de análises de estatística descritiva e inferenciais de comparação intra-grupo (pré- e pós-intervenção), por meio de testes não-paramétricos (teste de Wilcoxon). Em todas as análises o nível de significância adotado foi de 5%. Os resultados mostraram que, na percepção das mães, houve melhora nos fatores de Comunicação e Regulação Emocional e Comportamental, medidos pela Escala ACT, e melhora na Consistência Parental, Encorajamento Positivo e Ajustamento parental, e diminuição do uso de Práticas Coercitivas, avaliados pela escala PAFAS, no momento pósintervenção em relação ao momento pré-intervenção. Quanto aos indicadores de dificuldades e capacidades de comportamento das crianças, medidos pelo SDQ, houve mudanças estatisticamente significativas no total de dificuldades, e nas subescalas sintomas emocionais, problemas de conduta e problemas de relacionamento com os colegas, com diminuição desses comportamentos, além de melhora no comportamento pró-social na percepção das mães. Na percepção do outro cuidador, as crianças tiveram a maioria dos comportamentos classificados como normal no total de dificuldades e na maioria das subescalas tanto no momento préquanto no momento pós-intervenção, não havendo diferenças significativas entre os dois momentos. Conclui-se que o Programa ACT foi efetivo na modificação das práticas parentais e redução de dificuldades de comportamentos das crianças, na percepão das mães. Evidenciase a importância de programas de práticas educativas para pais e cuidadores de crianças nascidas pré-termo, o que pode ajudá-los a atuarem como correguladores do comportamento das crianças, contribuindo no seu processo de autorregulação. Desta forma, auxilia na prevenção de problemas de comportamento nas crianças, o que mostra a relevância desse tipo de intervenção como fator de proteção ao desenvolvimento das crianças em condição de vulnerabilidade / The aim of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of the ACT - Rasing Safe Kids Program to improve parental practices in mothers of preterm infants at 1-7 years of age in vulnerable conditions, assessing the mother\'s parental practices and child behavior outcomes. The sample comprised 30 young adult mothers of preterm infants at 1-7 years and another 30 child\'s family caregivers (predominantly, the fathers), who participated only answering the child behavior questionnaire. Mothers were submited to the ACT Program intervention, which is a universal APA prevention program to strengthen positive parenting practices, reduce intrafamily violence against children, and reduce children\'s emotional and behavioral problems. The mothers answered the ACT Questionnaire and the Parenting and Family Adjustment Scale (PAFAS) for parental practices assessment. The mothers and another informant caregivers answered the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), for child behavior assessment. All evaluations were performed at pre- and post- ACT intervention. The maternal temperament was also evaluated by the ATQ - Adult Temperament Questionnaire. The data were processed by the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 25.0), using descriptive statistics and inferences of intra-group comparison (pre- and postintervention), using Wilcoxon non-parametric tests). The level of significance was 5%.The results showed that, in the mothers\' perception, there was an improvement in Communication and Emotional/ Behavioral Regulation, assessed by ACT Scale, and an improvement in Parental Consistency, Positive Encouragement and Parental Adjustment, and a decrease in the use of Coercive Practices assessed by the scale PAFAS, post-intervention in comparison to the pre-intervention. In SDQ evaluation there were statistically significant changes in the total of difficulties, and in the subscales emotional symptoms, conduct problems and problems of relationship with colleagues, with decrease of these behaviors, besides improvement in the pro-social behavior in the mothers\' perception. In perception of another caregivers, child was classified as normal in the most of behavioral assessment in the pre-and post- intervention moment; thus, there was no statistically significant differences within moments. It was concluded that the ACT Program was effective in modifying parental practices and reducing the difficulties of children\'s behaviors in the mothers\' perception. The importance of programs of parental practices for parents and caregivers of preterm infants is highlighted, which can help them act as a corregulator of children\'s behavior, contributing to their self-regulation process. In this way, it aids in the prevention of behavioral problems in children, which shows the relevance of this type of intervention as a protective factor for the development of children in vulnerable conditions

Verificação da eficácia do CD-ROM Alfabetização Fônica Computadorizada no desenvolvimento de habilidades de consciência fonológica e de leitura / Verification of the effectiveness of the CD-ROM Alfabetização Fônica Computadorizada in the development of phonological awareness and reading

Manzoli, Priscila Maria de Lima Ribeiro 13 May 2013 (has links)
Já é conhecida a relação de reciprocidade entre consciência fonológica e habilidades de leitura. Diversas pesquisas demonstraram o efeito direto do treino em habilidades de consciência fonológica sobre a aquisição da leitura e como o treino sistemático da leitura auxilia no desenvolvimento de níveis mais complexos de consciência fonológica. Dentro deste contexto, o objetivo da pesquisa foi verificar a eficácia do CD-ROM Alfabetização Fônica Computadorizada no desenvolvimento de habilidades de consciência fonológica e de leitura em crianças do segundo ano do ensino fundamental. Participaram do estudo 81 crianças, com idades entre seis e oito anos, de ambos os sexos, matriculadas no segundo ano de uma escola municipal da periferia de um município com 30.000 habitantes. Para avaliar a consciência fonológica foi aplicada a Prova de Consciência Fonológica. Para avaliar as habilidades de leitura utilizou-se uma versão da Provinha Brasil e uma prova de leitura oral de palavras. Foi adotado um delineamento de comparação de grupos com três momentos de avaliação. No primeiro momento, todas as crianças foram avaliadas. Depois da primeira avaliação, foi conduzida a intervenção somente com as crianças do Grupo 1. Na intervenção, as atividades do CD-ROM foram distribuídas em dez sessões, que aconteciam duas vezes por semana. Ao final da intervenção, todos os participantes foram avaliados novamente. As crianças do Grupo 2 passaram pela intervenção depois da segunda avaliação. Após o término da intervenção no Grupo 2, foi realizada a última avaliação nos dois grupos. Os resultados foram analisados em termos de efeito da intervenção e resposta à intervenção em função do repertório prévio de habilidades de consciência fonológica. Em relação aos efeitos da intervenção, os resultados indicaram que o programa teve impacto direto nas habilidades de síntese fonêmica e segmentação fonêmica dos participantes. Isso foi observado pela diferença significativa entre os grupos apresentada na segunda avaliação, quando apenas um dos grupos havia sido submetido à intervenção. Nas outras habilidades envolvidas na consciência fonológica e nas habilidades de leitura, os resultados não indicaram efeito significativo da intervenção, mas mostraram desenvolvimento dessas habilidades ao longo do ano letivo. Para avaliar a resposta à intervenção em função do repertório prévio, os participantes foram classificados em cinco perfis de desenvolvimento das habilidades de consciência fonológica, antes e depois da intervenção. A comparação entre as avaliações pré e pós-intervenção mostrou que as crianças com repertório de entrada mais refinado, ou seja, com habilidades fonológicas mais desenvolvidas, foram as mais beneficiadas pelo programa. / The reciprocal relationship between phonological awareness and reading skills is already known. Several studies have demonstrated the direct effect of training in phonological awareness on reading acquisition and how the systematic training of reading supports the development of more complex levels of phonological awareness. In this context, the aim of the research was to determine the effectiveness of the CD-ROM Alfabetização Fônica Computadorizada in the development of phonological awareness and reading in children from the second year of elementary school. The study included 81 children, aged between six and eight years old, of both sexes, enrolled in the second year of a public school on the outskirts of a town with 30,000 inhabitants. To assess phonological awareness, the Phonological Awareness Test was applied. To assess reading skills, a version of Provinha Brasil and an oral word reading test were applied. We adopted a randomized comparison of groups in three evaluation moments. At first, all children were assessed. After the first assessment, the intervention was conducted only on children from Group 1. During the intervention, the activities of the CD-ROM were distributed over ten sessions, which happened twice a week. At the end of the intervention, all participants were assessed again. Children from Group 2 went through the intervention after the second evaluation. At the end of the intervention in Group 2, the last evaluation was conducted in both groups. The results were analyzed in terms of the effect of the intervention and response to intervention due to prior repertoire of phonological awareness. Regarding the effects of the intervention, the results indicated that the program had a direct impact on phonemic synthesis and phonemic segmentation skills of the participants. This was observed through the significant difference between the groups during the second evaluation, when only one of the groups had been subjected to the intervention. In relation to the other skills involved in phonological awareness and reading skills, the results indicated no significant effect arising from the intervention, but showed development of these skills throughout the school year. In order to evaluate the response to the intervention as a function of prior repertoire, participants were classified into five development profiles of phonological awareness skills before and after the intervention. The comparison between pre- and post-intervention assessments showed that children with a more refined repertoire of entry, i.e. with more developed phonological skills, were the most benefited from the program.

Efeito de um programa de intervenção com exercício físico em parâmetros antropométricos, bioquímicos, aptidão cardiorrespiratória e qualidade de vida de crianças com sobrepeso ou obesidade

VIANA, Raytta Silva 30 July 2018 (has links)
A obesidade pediátrica tem crescido de forma alarmante, com características de epidemia em todo mundo, tornando-se um dos maiores problemas de saúde pública. Contudo, uma das maiores preocupações está relacionada às comorbidades associadas a esta doença e a manutenção deste estado e seus agravos até a vida adulta. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito de um programa de intervenção com exercício físico nos parâmetros antropométricos, bioquímicos, na aptidão cardiorrespiratória e qualidade de vida de crianças com sobrepeso ou obesidade. Trata-se de estudo de caráter experimental, a amostra foi composta por 45 crianças de ambos os sexos, nascidos entre 2006 e 200, divididas em três grupos: n=22 Grupo Controle (GC), n=11 Grupo Intervenção Quadra (GIQ) e n=12 Grupo Intervenção Piscina (GIP). Foram avaliados a massa corporal, estatura, IMC, dobras cutâneas, perímetro da cintura e a aplicação do Teste 20 m ShuttleRun para verificação da aptidão cardiorrespiratória. O Questionário pediátrico de Qualidade de Vida – Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL 4.0) foi preenchido pelas crianças e seus respectivos pais/responsáveis. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas para a determinação do colesterol total, HDL-c, LDL-c, triglicerídeos, glicemia, Hormônios Leptina e Adiponectina. O programa de intervenção consistiu de exercícios físicos, predominantemente aeróbios, recreativo/esportivo, no período extraclasse durante 21 semanas. Todas as avaliações foram realizadas no baseline e no momento final da intervenção.A análise de variância univariadaANOVA com póshoc de Bonferroni foi feita para verificar diferenças significativas entre os grupos, a um nível de significância α=5%.A média de idade dos grupos foram GIQ 9,0 ± 0,5, GIP 9,3 ± 1,0 e GC 9,1 ± 1,2 anos. Diferenças significativas foram encontradas apenas sobre a QV geral (p=0,029)entre relatos de pais e filhos pósexperimento. Para todas as outras variáveis do estudo não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes. Um programa de intervenção apenas com exercícios físicos não foi suficiente para produzir mudanças significativas nos parâmetros antropométricos, bioquímicos e aptidão cardiorrespiratória, porém foi efetivo no aumento dos escores de QV geral de crianças com excesso de peso do ponto de vista dos pais. / Pediatric obesity has grown at an alarming rate, with epidemic characteristics in the world, making it one of the biggest public health problem. However, one of the major concerns is related to the comorbidities associated with this disease and the maintenance of this state and its aggravations until adult life. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of an intervention program with physical activity on anthropometric, biochemical parameters, cardiorespiratory fitness and quality of life of overweight or obese children. The sample consisted of 45 children of both sexes, borned between 2006-2009, divided into three groups: n = 22 Control Group (GC), n = 11 Sports Court Intervention Group (GIQ) in = 12 Group Swimming pool intervention (GIP). Anthropometrics measures such as body mass, height, BMI, skinfolds thickness, waist circumference were evaluated and the application of the 20 m Shuttle Run Test were evaluated for cardiorespiratory fitness. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL 4.0) was completed by the children and their parents/guardians. Blood samples were collected for the determination of HDL-c, LDL-c, triglycerides, glycemia, Leptin and Adiponectinhormones. The intervention program consisted of physical exercises, predominantly aerobic, recreational/sports, for 21 weeks. All evaluations were performed at the baseline and at the final moment of the intervention. The univariate ANOVA variance analysis with Bonferroni post hoc was performed to verify significant differences among groups, at a significance level α = 5%. The mean age of the groups were GIQ 9.0 ± 0.5, GIP 9.3 ± 1.0 and GC 9.1 ± 1.2 years. Significant differences were found only on overall QOL (p = 0.029) between reports of parents and children after the experiment. For all other variables in the study, no statistically significant differences were found. A physical exercise intervention program was not enough to produce significant changes in the anthropometric, biochemical and cardiorespiratory fitness parameters, but it is effective in increasing the overall QOL scores of overweight children from the parents' point ofview. / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior

Orientação para Pais de Crianças com Síndrome de Down: Elaborando e Testando um Programa de Intervenção / Preparing and testing an intervention program: orientation to parents of Down Syndrome children

Colnago, Neucideia Aparecida Silva 17 November 2000 (has links)
Os objetivos da presente pesquisa foram: elaborar, implementar e avaliar um Programa de Orientação (PO) para grupo de pais de bebês com Síndrome de Down (SD). Tal programa foi elaborado a partir de um levantamento de necessidade das famílias. Participaram do estudo dois grupos de pais: Estudo I (três famílias) e Estudo II (cinco família), com crianças com SD e idades entre um mês e quinze meses. Utilizou-se um Roteiro de Entrevista SemiEstruturado e Entrevistas de Avaliação do PO. O programa do Estudo II foi aperfeiçoado em relação ao do Estudo I nos aspectos formais e quanto ao conteúdo, visando atender mais adequadamente às necessidades dos pais. Foram implementadas 10 sessões (Estudo I) e 13 sessões (Estudo II) audiogravadas, de 90 a 120 minutos, realizadas semanalmente numa escola da cidade de São Carlos, SP, nas quais se discutiram o desenvolvimento na primeira infância, as dificuldades da família para lidar com a criança deficiente, suas angústias e depressão, o que é SD e quais suas implicações para o desenvolvimento da criança. Os resultados das análises qualitativas das sessões de grupo evidenciaram que os pais precisam se reorganizar, após o nascimento do bebê com problemas. Eles, sozinhos, não conseguiram transformar os sentimentos de tristeza, frustração em relação ao filho deficiente. Todas as famílias apresentaram alto grau de estresse, principalmente no primeiro ano de vida da criança. As análises mostraram, ainda, que à medida em que elas iam aprendendo sobre o desenvolvimento da criança, as formas de cuidá-la, ocorria a percepção de que o filho estava evoluindo, atingindo os marcos do desenvolvimento e o estresse parental também ia diminuindo. Relataram a necessidade de terem suporte de um profissional especializado logo após o nascimento do bebê. Os resultados da avaliação dos pais sobre o programa de orientação mostraram que este foi eficaz, na medida em que abordou as necessidades apresentadas por eles, e foi importante para eles obter informações sobre o desenvolvimento natural da criança, pois isso lhes forneceu subsídios para agir e tomar decisões quanto à sua socialização. O espaço criado para as discussões em grupo possibilitou a troca de experiências quanto ao cuidado da criança e permitiu que as famílias falassem de suas angústias e expectativas. Este modelo de intervenção procurou mostrar aos pais a importância de sua participação ativa no processo de desenvolvimento da criança, dando-lhes suporte informativo e emocional. / The objectives of the present research were: to elaborate, apply, and evaluate an Orientation Program (OP) for a group of parents with Down\'s Syndrome (DS) babies. An initial study of daily living conditions and special needs of such families was conducted, and used as a basis for creating and implementing a series of orientation sessions for parents in order to provide emotional support and general information concerning development of their child during infancy. The sample was composed of two groups of parents: Study I (three families) and Study II (five families) with Down Syndrome (DS) children of from one to fifteen months. A Semi-Structured Interview was used as was an evaluation protocol to determine the effectiveness of these sessions (OP). Study II was the result of improving structure and content of Study I so as to meet the parents needs more effectively. Initially, ten sessions were held in a school in São Carlos, SP. ( Study I); thirteen sessions ( Study II) of from 90 to 120 minutes were then audiotaped weekly. Group sessions covered early childhood development, addressing issues raised by the parents concerning difficulties experienced in dealing with a developmentally delayed child, answering questions concerning these delays, and advising them about what to expect in terms of developmental progress. In addition, opportunities were offered for participants to share their worries and any feelings of anguish or depression. Qualitative analyses of the group sessions showed a parental need for regrouping following birth of a problematic baby and, particulary, for finding the necessary assistence in coping emotionally with their situation. All the families were shown to have experiencied a high stress degree, mainly in the first year. The analyses show, though, that as learning about child development and ways of caring continued, parental capacity to perceive the milestones in their child\'s evolution sharpened, there bye decreasing parental stress. The parents expressed need for professional support soon after the baby\'s birth. The results of parental evaluation of the program showed its effectiveness. Our findings highlight the importance of responding to parental need for information concerning their child\'s early development, addressing the painful emotional reactions experienced day-to-day coping, and discussing the relationships of immediate family members with the DS baby. The orientation sessions provide a means for these parents to understand the difficulties faced and plan more effective strategies for socializing their developmentally delayed child. Group discussions facilitated exchange of experiences in caring for the children and provided a space for the families to express their anguishes and discuss expectations. This intervention model aimed to show the parents the importance of their active participation in the child\'s development process by providing them with both information and emotional support

School Refusal: a Case study

Rennie, Robert W, res.cand@acu.edu.au January 2003 (has links)
According to the literature school refusal is a complex disorder. Whilst the condition only occurs in 2% of the general school population, more interestingly the problem accounts for about 8% of clinically referred children (Burke & Silverman, 1987). This study focuses on the school refusal of a young adolescent male. This thesis has examined the degree to which school refusal can be minimised through employing a whole school approach underpinned by effective pastoral care (WSNPC intervention program). The research questions were as follows: To investigate the effects the WSNPC intervention program has on the: minimisation of school refusal; replacement of the motherlfigurehead in the mother-child relationship relative to separation anxiety; and = improved emotional, social and intellectual wellbeing of the school refuser. The methodology adopted for the study of school refusal regarding a young adolescent male was based on a grounded theory approach and also included a combination of action research and case study methods. Qualitative paradigms measured the degree of the participant's school refusal. A variety of instruments were employed to measure the participant's perceptions of school refusal. The implementation of multiple strategies were based upon data collected and evaluated, both as a result of intentional efforts, or as an unintentional by-product of the study with the expressed aim of maximising the participant's school attendance. The evidence presented in this study indicates the strategies employed via the WSA/PC intervention program were helpful in improving the participant's attendance at school. The results give an insight into the level of comprehension for the sample of school refusal and its response in terms of understanding the reasons for such thinking. The limitations of single case methodology are acknowledged in the study and suggestions for further research discussed.
