One of the most important goals of the health system in this pandemic was to provide a home care for the high-risk neonates. The aim of this study was to audit a high-risk neonate home care program during the COVID-19 pandemic. This descriptive-analytical study was conducted with the participation of 158 high-risk neonates discharged from neonatal intensive care units of hospitals. Data collection was performed through questionnaire and a researcher-made checklist. The researcher observed and evaluated 7 areas of healthcare. The study was first performed in person, but after the COVID-19 pandemic, the researcher evaluated these cares in absentia. The results of the study showed that the mean score of in-person “conduction” was 56.7 and in-absentia conduction was 52.5 and the mean score of in-person “education” was 63.6 and in-absentia conduction was 65.6. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the in-person and in-absentia methods. Moreover, while 53.2% of caregivers performed well, 33.5% of them performed poorly. According to the results, the implementation of home care program for high-risk neonates is relatively desirable. However, some regular evaluation and review need to be conducted on instructions and implementations. Regular education of caregivers and, finally, regular in-person and in-absentia monitoring is essential. In-absentia home care during the COVID-19 pandemic was not an obstacle to the implementation of the program and it was implemented through telephone and follow-up.
The incidence of autism is increasing day to day and it has increased significantly in the last decade. There have been many studies on the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in children. The objective of this review study is to have a comprehensive look at the existing patterns. This review was performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) protocol. The databases of ISI, Scopus, Science Direct, Medline, Google Scholar, Magiran, SID, Iranmedex, pubmed and Cochran databases were independently searched by two researchers using MeSH keywords. We included the studies published in different regions of Iran from 2010-2019. The obtained data were analyzed using the meta-analysis technique. Then we extracted reference number, chronological order, sex, age in database. The type of study, the method of implementation, the type of treatment, the outcome and the level of parental involvement have been studied. A total of 35 articles were collected from which 22 articles were related to treatment patterns. The collected results were assessed in the intervention. In general, treatment models were structured and unstructured these models was used to specific age groups, or all age groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
