“…Our results show that patients in the elementary age (4–7 years) group presented significantly higher distress levels than the other groups (Table ). One possible explanation is that younger children (0–3 years) may be reassured by simpler measures such as physical contact by the caregiver, while older children (8–11 and ≥12) may find verbal explanation a helpful coping strategy . Children aged 4 to 7 may be vulnerable in that they are not fully dependent on caregivers yet also not fully autonomous…”

Background Following diagnosis, children with cancer suddenly find themselves in an unknown world where unfamiliar adults make all the important decisions. Children typically experience increasing levels of anxiety with repeated invasive procedures and do not adapt to the discomfort. The aim of the present study is to explore the possibility of asking children directly about their medical support preferences during invasive procedures. Procedure Each patient was offered a choice of medical support on the day of the procedure, specifically general anesthesia (GA), conscious sedation (CS), or nothing. An ad hoc assessment tool was prepared in order to measure child discomfort before, during, and after each procedure, and caregiver adequacy was measured. Both instruments were completed at each procedure by the attending psychologist. Results We monitored 247 consecutive invasive procedures in 85 children and found that children in the 4 to 7 year age group showed significantly higher distress levels. GA was chosen 66 times (26.7%), CS was chosen 97 times (39.3%), and nothing was chosen 5 times and exclusively by adolescents. The child did not choose in 79 procedures (32%). The selection of medical support differed between age groups and distress level was reduced at succeeding procedures. Conclusions Offering children the choice of medical support during invasive procedures allows for tailored support based on individual needs and is an effective modality to return active control to young patients, limiting the emotional trauma of cancer and treatment.

“…The result of this research study suggests that speech delay may have occurred as a result of the use of unsuitable parenting practice and the low-quality input of parents towards the development of their child's vocabulary [10]. In the early childhood stage (play age), playing and interacting with adults (parents or caregivers) and other children enables them to develop the social, emotional, and behavioral skills of preschool children and this interaction also reduces the feeling of fear and anxiety in children [11]. playing also increases the self-esteem of children and improving their communication skills [7], [11], [12].…”

Speech delay in children occurs when a child finds it difficult to use and develop the mechanisms required to produce speech. Some of the unfavorable consequences of speech delay in children include poor academic achievement, reduced IQ, and psychosocial problems. Thus, this study aimed to explore the experience of parents with speech delayed children in Garut, Indonesia. A descriptive phenomenological approach was used to explicate the knowledge of parents about speech delay, the experience of parents with children suffering from speech delay and parental support provided to children with speech delay. Indepth audio-taped interviews were conducted with the ten participants who met the inclusion criteria for this study. The transcripts of each participant were analyzed using Colaizzi's approach. The major themes discussed in this study include parenting Practice associated with speech delay in children, parents' feeling when they found out that they have speech delay children, and parents' support towards the treatment of speech delay in children. The findings generated in this study confirmed that parents have a key role to play in the development of their children's speaking skills at the early childhood stage.

“…Durante o processo de hospitalização ela tem de conviver em um ambiente desconhecido, longe da família, dos amigos, das brincadeiras e da escola (1)(2) . O ingresso no mundo do hospital é sinônimo de sofrimento e dor, mas também simboliza a possibilidade de cura.…”

Os profissionais de enfermagem reconhecem a importância que o brinquedo tem para a recuperação da criança, no entanto, poucos utilizam o brinquedo no cuidado de enfermagem. Conclusão: É importante que nas instituições de saúde seja implantado o uso do brinquedo nos cuidados às crianças e que os profissionais de enfermagem sejam capacitados em relação à humanização e a utilizar o brinquedo.
