A Case Study on Child-Centered Play Therapy for a Child with ADHD and ODD: Focusing on the Change of Play Theme at Stage

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the research literature on play therapy intervention for children with ADHD. Thirty-nine studies, conducted from 1995 to 2010, were analyzed. The results of the literature review are as follows: The most commonly studied subjects were elementary school children in grades 1-3. The most common subject selection method was to select ADHD tendency children. The most typical intervention setting used was a counseling center. The most frequent intervention was 11-15 sessions of group counseling. Pre-post experimentalcontrol research designs were the most commonly used. In the analyzed studies, play therapy-game play therapy, CBPT, CCPT, sand play therapy, and theraplay-was used for ADHD children. The studies found that game play therapy and cognitive-behavior play therapy are effective for improving ADHD children's attention, impulsiveness, and self-control. The major game play therapy activities used were dart games, "Simon says" games, fishing games, dominoes, Jenga, Beat the Clock, the board game "Stop," and "Ice, break., ice, break." Based on these findings, this article presents implications and discussion for play therapy intervention for ADHD children.(ADHD), (play therapy), (game play therapy), (cognitive-behavioral play therapy)

The Prevalence of Drug-Drug Interaction and Inappropriate Drug Prescription Among the Elderly in Kashan

“…The obtained findings revealed that >85% of the study participants were taking at least one drug per day. Similarly, a study in Turkey suggested that 81% of Turkish older people were taking at least one drug (Gören et al 2017). Two other studies in Brazil also reported that 80% of the Brazilian elderly were taking at least one drug (Obreli-Neto et al 2012).…”

The Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Healthcare Providers About Colorectal Cancer Screening by Health Belief Model

“…A study suggested that people were unaware of CRC and its screening, failed to understand the sensitivity of the subject, and only performed 4% screening. Such data indicate a link between people's knowledge and attitude and its impact on their performance (Bidouei et al 2014). Although the knowledge of nurses and physicians was high in the study of Rim et al only 52% performed screening, and 26% recommended screening to their clients (Rim et al 2009).…”

“…People more prone to develop CRC should be screened at a younger age and more frequently. The decision to perform a screening test in individuals aged >75 years is based on the patient's own decision (Bidouei et al 2014;Mansour-Ghanaei et al 2015). The early detection of CRC reduces mortality.…”

“…Based on the statistics, the most frequent cancers in women are breast, colorectal, and cervical types; lung cancer, prostate cancer, and CRC are the most prevalent cancers in men (Siegel, Miller & Jemal 2019). Cancer incidence in developing countries is increasing due to aging populations, changing lifestyles, smoking habits, immobility, and the westernization of diets (Bidouei et al 2014;Jemal et al 2011).…”

“…The highest and lowest survival rates have been reported in China and India, respectively (Ghazali et al 2010;Shouri Bidgoli et al 2015). If CRC is detected in the early stages, the 5-year survival rate is increased to 90% (Jemal et al 2011, Bidouei et al 2014. However, due to the lack of screening programs in many countries, only 39% of early colon cancers are identified (Moradi et al 2009;Safaee et al 2010;Wang et al 2017).…”
