As queimaduras provocam efeitos físicos e psicológicos devastadores nos indivíduos, sobretudo em crianças e adolescentes, e podem modificar a qualidade de vida da pessoa. O objetivo foi analisar o impacto das cicatrizes por queimaduras em crianças menores de oito anos na interação com amigos, família e escola, na perspectiva dos pais. Estudo quantitativo de corte transversal realizado com os pais de crianças <8 anos de idade, vítimas de queimaduras e internadas em um Centro de Tratamento de Queimados no norte do Paraná e acompanhadas ambulatorialmente, de 2017 a 2020. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de dois instrumentos: caracterização sociodemográfica e clínica; e Brisbane Burn Scar Impact Profile. Realizou-se análise descritiva e teste Qui-quadrado utilizando-se o SPSS®. Participaram 34 pais cujas crianças sofreram queimaduras, sendo 52,9% de 1 a 3 anos de idade, 58,8% sexo masculino, 82,2% por agente etiológico térmico e a internação foi de 73,5% devido à Superfície Corpórea Queimada ≤20%. Após a alta os pais identificaram que as cicatrizes de queimaduras tinham "um pouco" e "pouco" impacto nas cicatrizes nas relações de amizade e na interação social. Para os pais, prevaleceu a resposta "nada" de impacto, seguido por "um pouco" e "muito" na escola, nas brincadeiras, nos jogos e nas atividades diárias. Quanto às reações emocionais e ao humor, a maior parte dos pais considerou "nada". Nesse sentido, os pais responderam às questões quanto à própria percepção sobre as atividades diárias do seu filho e, em geral, a cicatriz de queimadura não impactou na qualidade de vida da criança.

Burns cause devastating physical and psychological effects on individuals, especially children and adolescents, and can change a person's quality of life. The objective was to analyze the impact of burn scars in children under eight years of age in the interaction with friends, family and school, from the parents' perspective. Quantitative cross-sectional study carried out with the parents of children <8 years old who were victims of burns and admitted to a Burn Treatment Center in northern Paraná and monitored on an outpatient basis, from 2017 to 2020. Data collection occurred using two instruments: sociodemographic and clinical characterization; Brisbane Burn Scar Impact Profile. Descriptive analysis and Chi-square test were performed using SPSS®. 34 parents participated whose children suffered burns, 52.9% aged 1 to 3 years old, 58.8% male, 82.2% due to thermal etiological agent and 73.5% hospitalization was due to Burned Body Surface ≤ 20%. After discharge, the parents identified that the burn scars had "a little" and "little" impact on the scars in friendship relationships and social interaction. For parents, the answer "nothing" of impact prevailed, followed by "a little" and "a lot" in school, play, games and daily activities. As for emotional reactions and mood, most parents considered "nothing" that impacted the child with burn scars. In this sense, parents answered questions regarding their own perception of their child's daily activities and, in general, the burn scar did not impact the child's quality of life.

Instructional videos for parents/guardians of children with lip and palate clefts: integrative literature review

Abstract Objective This study aimed to review literature from the past five years, focusing on the use of educational videos as a guidance tool for parents and guardians of children with lip and palate clefts. Source of data Conducted between April and July 2022, this integrative literature review was framed around the question: 'What is the evidence regarding the use of videos in health education for parents/guardians of children with cleft lip and palate? PICO strategy was used to develop the research. A literature search was undertaken across PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Virtual Health Library databases. Of the eight articles included in this review, four were sourced from the PubMed database, with three published in 2021. Summary of the findings The findings indicated that YouTube videos were moderately satisfactory and met the needs of parents or legal guardians to a partial extent. The majority of the videos analyzed in this review were characterized by a moderate level of informational content. One study particularly underscored that the content of these videos only partially satisfies the requirements of the parents or legal guardians of the children. Conclusions Nevertheless, such videos are considered viable alternatives for health education, offering numerous benefits yet facing challenges, primarily due to the scarcity of information on orofacial malformations.

Changes in Oral Health-Related Behaviors and Oral Health of Children in Early Childhood during Social Isolation Caused by COVID-19

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess changes in oral health-related behavior and oral health status in Brazilian children in early childhood perceived by their parents/caregivers during social isolation caused by COVID-19. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study with parents/caregivers of children in southeastern Brazil aged 0-5 years who responded to an online questionnaire about sociodemographic data, dietary changes, oral hygiene, and oral health status of children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Of the 119 parents/caregivers, 54.60% did not observe any changes in eating habits, and 81.50% maintained their children's oral hygiene. Associations were observed between the impact of the pandemic on the family income and changes in eating habits (p=0.02) and between lower family income and dental caries perceived by parents/caregivers (p=0.05). Z tests with Bonferroni correction showed that families with drastic income reduction were more likely to consume lower-cost foods (62.50%) than families with no impact or slight reduction on family income. Parents/caregivers did not identify dental caries (89.10%), toothache (92.40%), and dental trauma (92.40%) in their children. Conclusion: Parents/caregivers of children in southeastern Brazil aged 0-5 years observed behavioral changes in the dietary habits of families whose income was impacted by the pandemic, and their perception of dental caries was significantly associated with family income.

Study of Adaptation and Validity Evidence of the Reading Anxiety Scale (RAS-20) - Version for Parents and Guardians / Estudo de Adaptação e Evidências de Validade da Reading Anxiety Scale (RAS-20) - Versão Para Pais e Cuidadores / Estudio de Adaptación y Evidencia de Validez de la Reading Anxiety Scale (RAS-20) - Versión para Padres y Cuidadores

Abstract: Reading anxiety can hinder involvement and performance. This study aimed to present the adaptation and validity evidence of the Reading Anxiety Scale (RAS-20) for parents and guardians. A total of 240 parents and guardians with children aged from eight to 12 years ( M = 9.73; SD = 1.41) took part in the study. A sociodemographic and health conditions questionnaire, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and the Reading Anxiety Scale (RAS) version for parents and guardians were applied. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated good adjustment rates for the three dimensions assessed by the scale (enjoyment, independence, and difficulty). Convergent validity evidence supported the hypothesis of anxiety as a specific phenomenon, different from general anxiety. The RAS-Version for parents and guardians showed adequate psychometric properties and can contribute to the development of interventions in the clinical, family, and school context.

Resumo: A ansiedade de leitura pode gerar dificuldades de engajamento e desempenho.

A fase terminal do filho com câncer: percepções dos profissionais hospitalares / The terminal phase of children with cancer: perceptions of hospital professionals / La fase terminal del hijo con cáncer: percepciones de los profesionales del hospital

O confronto com o câncer de um filho e a percepção da sua morte como inevitável dão lugar a experiências parentais relevantes para a pesquisa científica. Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar, por meio da percepção dos profissionais hospitalares, o modo como os pais experienciam a fase terminal e fim de vida do filho com câncer para melhor compreender os processos psicoemocionais experienciados por esses pais diante da cronicidade da doença e da morte do filho. No sentido de alcançar esse objetivo, realizou-se um estudo qualitativo de tipo fenomenológico envolvendo 17 profissionais de dois hospitais portugueses de referência em oncologia pediátrica. Os dados foram recolhidos com recurso a um guia de entrevista semiestruturada. Na percepção dos profissionais hospitalares, os resultados evidenciam que esses pais experienciam múltiplas dificuldades e preocupações na fase terminal da doença do filho e no pós-morte, bem como um sofrimento extremo e desestruturação biopsicossocial e espiritual na família. O conhecimento aprofundado da fenomenologia desses processos é essencial para o desenho e a implementação de intervenções emocionais, cognitivas, comportamentais e sociais mais ajustadas às dificuldades e preocupações parentais vividas no fim de vida e pós-morte.(AU)

Coping with children's cancer and the perception of their inevitable death give rise to parental experiences that are important to study. This study aimed to investigate, based on hospital professionals' perspectives, how parents experience the terminal phase and end of life of their children suffering from cancer to better understand the psycho-emotional processes these parents experienced in face of the chronicity of the disease and their children's death. To achieve this objective, a qualitative phenomenological study was carried out involving 17 professionals of two Portuguese hospitals that are reference in pediatric oncology. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview guide. From the perspective of hospital professionals, results show that these parents experience multiple difficulties and concerns in the terminal phase of their children's disease and postmortem, as well as the extreme suffering and biopsychosocial and spiritual disruption of the family. A deeper understanding of the phenomenology of these processes is essential to design and implement better adjusted emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and social interventions aimed at the parental difficulties and concerns experienced at the end of life and after death.(AU)

El enfrentamiento del cáncer de un hijo y la percepción de su muerte como inevitable dan lugar a experiencias parentales importantes que deben ser estudiadas. Este estudio pretende identificar desde la percepción de los profesionales del hospital cómo los padres viven la fase terminal y el final de la vida de su hijo con cáncer con el fin de comprender mejor los procesos psicoemocionales que viven estos padres ante la cronicidad de la enfermedad y la muerte de su hijo. Para ello, se realizó un estudio cualitativo, con enfoque fenomenológico, en el que participaron 17 profesionales de dos hospitales portugueses de referencia en oncología pediátrica. Para recoger los datos se aplicó un guion de entrevista semiestructurada. En cuanto a la percepción de los profesionales del hospital, estos padres experimentaron múltiples dificultades y preocupaciones en la fase terminal de la enfermedad de su hijo y postmuerte, así como un sufrimiento extremo y una desestructuración biopsicosocial y espiritual en la familia. El conocimiento en profundidad de la fenomenología de estos procesos es esencial para elaborar e implementar intervenciones emocionales, cognitivas, conductuales y sociales más acordes a las dificultades y preocupaciones parentales que se experimentan al final de la vida y la postmuerte.(AU)

Validity and reliability of the Brazilian version of the Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised for Dental

Abstract This study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the Brazilian version of the "Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised for Dental" (IPQ-RD) in parents/guardians of children aged six to 14 years. The sample consisted of 63 parents/guardians of schoolchildren from the municipal school system of Teófilo Otoni, MG. Remote and virtual data collection consisted of self-completion of personal data, socioeconomic questionnaire and the Brazilian short versions of the "Parental-Caregiver Perceptions Questionnaire" (16-P-CPQ) and the "Family Impact Scale" (4-FIS). The IPQ-RD was applied by telephone interview. Almost half of the sample belonged to socioeconomic classes C1 and C2. Approximately 1/3 classified their child's oral health as "regular" or "poor", while 11.1% reported "strong" or "very strong" impact on their child's well-being. The items most frequently cited as having an impact on the four domains of the 16-P-CPQ were: "bad breath" (23.8%), "mouth breathing" (20.7%), "feeling anxious or afraid" (20.7%), and "paying attention at school" (10%). In the 4-FIS, 11.1% "had little time for themselves or the family". There were higher IPQ-RD scores in the "disease coherence" domain for women and lower values of "emotional dimensions" for parents/guardians with incomplete education. The mean IPQ-RD score was 126.4 (±15.1), and domain scores were positively correlated. The internal consistency was "almost perfect" for the IPQ-RD total score, ranging from "moderate" to "almost perfect" for the "child-control" and "child-consequences" domains. The intraclass correlation coefficient ranged from 0.04 (poor) to 0.68 (substantial). The Brazilian Portuguese version of the IPQ-RD proved to be valid and reliable for assessing the cognitive and emotional perception of parents/guardians about childhood dental caries.

Percepções de adolescentes acerca da coparentalidade dos pais: conversações em grupo focal / Perceptions of adolescents about their parents' coparenthality: conversations in focus group / Percepciones de los adolescentes sobre la coparentalidad de sus padres: conversaciones en grupo de discusión

O subsistema coparental é formado por dois cuidadores que tomam as decisões relativas à prole conjuntamente. O presente estudo buscou compreender a percepção de adolescentes, membros de famílias nucleares e separadas, sobre as características da coparentalidade dos pais. Participaram da pesquisa dezenove adolescentes provenientes de três escolas da rede pública de ensino do Rio Grande do Sul. Os adolescentes responderam um questionário sociodemográfico e participaram de um grupo focal. Foram realizadas análises descritivas e de conteúdo por meio da qual foram organizadas três categorias: cooperação, conflito e triangulação coparental. Os resultados indicaram que os adolescentes percebem a dinâmica familiar e são impactados diretamente pelas características, positivas e negativas, da interação entre os pais, tanto nas famílias nucleares como nas separadas. Portanto, mostra-se necessário desenvolver estratégias para trabalhar com as diferentes configurações familiares focalizando a coparentalidade, subsistema acessível à realização de intervenções e protetivo ao desenvolvimento dos filhos

The coparental subsystem is formed by two caregivers who jointly make decisions regarding the offspring. This study aimed to understand the perception of adolescents, members of nuclear and separated families, about the characteristics of parents coparenting. Nineteen adolescents, from three public schools in the of Rio Grande do Sul participated in the survey. The adolescents responded a socio-demographic questionnaire and participated in a focus group. Descriptive and content analysis were carried out through which three categories were organized: cooperation, conflict and triangulation. The results indicated that adolescents perceive family dynamics and are directly impacted by the characteristics, positive and negative, of the interaction between parents, both in nuclear families and in separated ones. Therefore, it is necessary to develop strategies to work with the different family configurations focusing on coparenting, an accessible subsystem to carry out interventions and protective to the development of children

Vacilación ante la vacuna contra el covid-19 en Estados Unidos de América: un estudio etnográfico digital / Hesitation towards the COVID-19 vaccine in the United States: a digital ethnographic study

RESUMEN Luego de que se autorizara en EEUU el uso de la vacuna contra el covid-19 en bebés de seis meses a niños y niñas de cuatro años, algunas personas (padres, madres, pediatras y comunicadores) plantearon la vacunación contra el covid-19 como una cuestión de acceso; sin embargo, muchas otras se mostraron reacias y otras se resistieron a las recomendaciones de los Centers for Disease Control and Prevention de EEUU. En este contexto, este estudio se propuso explorar: 1) reacciones divergentes ante la autorización de uso de la vacuna contra el covid-19 en niños y niñas de seis meses a cuatro años; y 2) lógicas contrapuestas que subyacen a las actitudes provacunación, antivacunación y vacilación ante las vacunas contra el covid-19. Para ello, se realizó una etnografía digital, con monitoreo de 5.700 reacciones a una serie de ocho infografías publicadas en las redes sociales por la John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, y observación participante en un grupo focal en línea a lo largo de un año, desde diciembre de 2021 hasta diciembre de 2022, conformado por 18 madres. Los resultados indican que el personal médico debe considerar diferentes nociones de "riesgo" al interactuar con los pacientes, especialmente aquellos que dudan en vacunarse.

ABSTRACT Following the authorization the use of COVID-19 vaccines in babies age six months through children four years old in the United States, some individuals (parents, pediatricians, and communicators) framed COVID-19 vaccination as an issue of access, while many others expressed hesitancy and some resisted recommendations from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In this context, this study aimed to explore: 1) divergent reactions to the authorization of COVID-19 vaccine use in children aged six months to four years; and 2) opposing logics underlying attitudes towards pro-vaccination, anti-vaccination, and vaccine hesitancy regarding COVID-19 vaccines. To achieve this, a digital ethnography was conducted, involving monitoring of 5,700 reactions to a series of eight infographics published on social media by the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and participant observation in an online focus group over a one-year period, from December 2021 to December 2022, consisting of 18 mothers. The findings suggest that healthcare professionals should consider different notions of "risk" when interacting with patients, especially those who are hesitant to vaccinate.
