“…Studies from other parts of the world have evaluated SMS-based mobile interventions for parents of adolescents and suggest this to be an effective and feasible method to provide evidence-based information to parents, who cannot be easily reached. 10 Keeping these issues in mind, this study was conceived to provide continuity of care and also to utilize the availability of parents at home to improve the outcome of the children with ADHD.…”

Background Little is known about the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on children with attention-deficit hyperkinetic disorder (ADHD). This study aimed to assess the impact of lockdown on children with the ADHD, and their families. Additionally, feasibility of carrying out “text message-based” intervention was evaluated. Methods An online survey was performed to evaluate the impact of lockdown on children with ADHD and their family members. Additionally, a “text message”-based intervention was performed over 2 weeks. Along with the text-based intervention, we also provided reading materials and an option of telephonic consultation. Results Of the 80 parents who initially consented to participate, 48 filled the baseline survey, and 41 agreed to receive intervention. Out of 41, 29 filled satisfaction survey. During the lockdown period, there was worsening of symptoms of ADHD in the form of increase (slight or marked) in the activity level (50.1%), irritability (45.8%), and disturbing or disruptive behavior (47.7%) in children. In terms of behavior of family members, there was marked/slight increase in irritability (37.5%), and shouting at the child (43.8%), verbal abuse (25%), and punishing the child (27.1%). Additionally, there was an increase in the praising (67.6%) and spending time with the child (72.9%). Text-based messages on a scale of 0 to 10 were rated as 5.79 for the content, 5.76 for the usefulness, and 6 for satisfaction. Conclusion Lockdown resulted in worsening of symptoms among children of ADHD and it had impact on the interaction pattern of the children and parents. A “text message”-based intervention is a feasible and possibly acceptable option to deal with the behavioral problem of the children and adolescents with ADHD.

“…Two other studies found a smaller difference in PACS scores between the intervention and control group (e.g. 2.57 [ 41 ] and 2.21 [ 42 ]). However, both of these intervention studies entailed minimal in-person contact and sending prompts to the parents by mobile phone.…”

Advance care planning for adolescents with cancer and their parents: study protocol of the BOOST pACP multi-centre randomised controlled trial and process evaluation

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Research has highlighted the need for evidence-based interventions to improve paediatric advance care planning (pACP) in adolescents with cancer. Although adolescents express the desire and ability to share their values, beliefs and preferences for treatment, there is a lack of structured multicomponent interventions to improve parent-adolescent communication on different ACP themes including those not limited to end-of-life care. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation, context and mechanisms of impact of a novel ACP program in paediatric oncology. Methods We will conduct a multi-centre parallel-group randomised controlled superiority trial with embedded mixed-methods process evaluation in Flanders, Belgium. Adolescents aged 10–18 who have cancer, and their parent(s) will be recruited via all four university hospitals in Flanders, Belgium, and support groups. Families will be randomised to receive care as usual or the multicomponent BOOST pACP program, consisting of three conversation sessions between an external facilitator and the adolescent and parent(s). The primary endpoint is improved parent-adolescent communication from the perspective of the adolescent. Secondary endpoints are adolescents’ and parents’ attitudes, self-efficacy, intention and behaviour regarding talking about ACP themes with each other, parents’ perspective of shared decision making in the last clinical encounter, and the paediatric oncologist’s intention and behaviour regarding talking about ACP themes with the family. Measurements will be performed at baseline, at 3 months and at 7 months using structured self-reported questionnaires. We will perform a process evaluation in the intervention group, with measurement throughout and post-intervention, using structured diaries filled out by the facilitators, interviews with facilitators, interviews with involved paediatric oncology teams, and audio-recordings of the BOOST pACP conversations. Discussion The BOOST pACP program has been developed to stimulate conversations on ACP themes between parent(s) and the adolescents, simultaneously lowering the threshold to discuss similar themes with healthcare professionals, initiating a process of normalization and integration of ACP in standard care. This combined outcome and process evaluation aims to contribute to building the necessary evidence to improve ACP in paediatric oncology. Trial registration The study is registered at ISRCTN, ISRCTN33228289. Registration date: January 22, 2021.

“…The 18 included studies were published between 1988 and 2019. The majority were conducted in the United States [29,42e 52], and the rest were conducted across a variety of countries, including Australia [53,54], New Zealand [28], Japan [55], Canada [56], and England [57]. Three of the studies were cohort studies, four were quasi-experimental, and 11 were RCTs.…”

“…Of the studies that provided information about which parent participated [28,29,46,50,51,53e56], only one had an equal number of mothers and fathers [55], and in most studies, most participating parents were mothers (64%e100%). The focus of interventions was on changing parents' help-seeking behavior [42e49,55e57], help-seeking intentions [29,54], knowledge of help-seeking options [28], attitudes toward seeking help and help-seeking behaviors [50,51], knowledge of help-seeking options and attitudes toward seeking help [53], and attitudes and intentions toward seeking help [52]. Of the studies, nine found a significant increase in help-seeking [28,42,44,46e49,51,55], five found no significant increase [29,43,45,52,54], and four studies [50,53,56,57] found mixed results.…”

“…A number of help-seeking interventions have been designed to increase adolescent help-seeking, but parents are often not included [27]. While some parental help-seeking interventions have been published [28,29], to date, there has been no systematic review of such interventions. A substantial gap exists in the parenting literature regarding what interventions exist, which are effective, and, in particular, what components of the intervention are effective in changing help-seeking behavior [1,30].…”

Parents do not always seek timely help for adolescents when the need arises. Although interventions to increase parental help-seeking have been evaluated and published, no systematic review of these interventions has been conducted. The aim of this systematic review is to collate, synthesise, and evaluate research on help-seeking interventions for parents of adolescents. Methods: Six electronic databases were searched from inception to May 2020 using terms related to the concepts of "parent" and "help-seeking" and focusing on parents of adolescents (aged 10 e19 years). Methodological quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies; the Behavioural Change Taxonomy was used to code behavioral change techniques, and "promising interventions" were identified using pre-established criteria. Results: Eighteen studies met inclusion criteria, with six rated strong for design and methodology. The most frequently identified Behavioural Change Taxonomies included a credible source delivering the intervention, supporting parents, and providing prompts/cues regarding services/ appointments. Four interventions were identified as "promising" because of strong methodology, significant positive outcomes, and strong evidence-base. Conclusions: More high-quality, theory-driven parental help-seeking interventions using common outcome measures are needed to advance the literature in this area. Future research should replicate the promising interventions identified to develop best practice guidelines.
