[CHILD'S LIFESTYLE BEHAVIOURS RELATING TO WEIGHT AND MATERNAL SELF-EFFICACY IN MANAGING THEM]. / CONDUCTAS DEL ESTILO DE VIDA DEL HIJO RELACIONADAS CON EL PESO Y AUTOEFICACIA MATERNA PARA MANEJARLAS.

INTRODUCTION: parenting represents challenges. Mothers of overweight (OW) - obesity (OB) children face their children's lifestyle behaviors related to body weight. OBJECTIVES: 1) To assess the reliability of The Lifestyle Behaviour Checklist (LBC) in Spanish, 2) To evaluate the children's lifestyle behaviour that represent for the mother a problem for managing (PB) and self-efficacy (SE) to manage them in mothers of children with and without OW-OB and 3) To verify the differences between groups. METHODS: participated 367 dyads (mother / child). Mothers answered the LBC with two scales, problems behaviour scale (PBS) and self-efficacy to managing them scale (SMS). The dyads' weight and size were measured. Cronbach's alpha coefficient, descriptive statistics and ANOVA were calculated. RESULTS: Cronbach's alpha for PBS was 0.86 and 0.96 for SMS. Watches too much television was the greatest problem in managing for mothers of children with and without OW-OB (F = .232, p = .630). The mothers of children with OW-OB had lower self-efficacy compared to mothers of children without OW-OB (F = 14,155, p = .001). The mothers of children with OW-OB perceived more PB (Mean = 55.40) and less SE compared to mothers of children without OW-OB (F = 15.45, p.

Introducción: la crianza de los hijos representa retos. Las madres de hijos con sobrepeso (SP) - obesidad (OB) enfrentan conductas del estilo de vida del hijo (CEVH) relacionadas con el peso corporal. Objetivos: 1) Evaluar la confiabilidad de la escala Lista de Verificación de CEVH (LVC) en Español. 2) Evaluar las CEVH que representan un problema para su manejo (PC) y la autoeficacia (AE) para manejarlos, en madres de hijos con y sin SP-OB y 3) Verificar diferencias entre los grupos. Métodos: participaron 367 diadas (madre/hijo). Las madres contestaron la Escala LVC con dos escalas: escala problemas de conductua (EPC) y escala autoeficacia para manejarlos (EAE). Se midió peso y talla a las diadas. Se obtuvó coeficiente alpha de Cronbach, estadísticas descriptivas y se aplicó ANOVA. Resultados: el alpha de Cronbach para la EPC fue 0,86 y para la EAE 0,96. Ver mucha televisión fue el mayor PC que las madres de hijos con y sin SP-OB tienen que manejar (F = ,232, p = ,630). Las madres de hijos con SP-OB tuvieron menor AE respecto a las madres de hijos sin SP-OB (F = 14,155, p = ,001). Las madres de hijos con SP-OB percibieron más PC (media = 55,40) y tuvieron menor AE respecto a las madres de hijos sin SP-OB (F = 15,45, p < ,001). Conclusiones: la Escala LVC en Español mostró una consistencia interna aceptable. Las madres de hijos con SP-OB percibieron más PC y tuvieron menor AE. Se recomienda implementar programas para fortalecer la AE materna.

"The Costs of a Public Health Infrastructure for Delivering Parenting and Family Support".

Objectives: To estimate the costs of building a public health infrastructure for delivering a population-wide evidence-based multi-level system of parenting interventions to strengthen parenting; reduce risk for child maltreatment and coercive parenting practices; and reduce the prevalence of early child behavioral and emotional problems. Methods: Using data from 9 South Carolina counties, this study examines the costs to service agencies of training a wide range of providers. Using data on the number of children and families served, the paper estimates the total costs of training providers sufficient to treat all children and families in a hypothetical community. Results: The costs of the universal media and communication component totaled less than $1.00 per child in the population. The costs of training service providers to deliver at other intervention levels were quite modest ($11.74 on a per child basis). Conclusions: This study shows that a population-wide system of efficacious parenting programs aimed at reducing child behavioral and emotional problems and promoting effective parenting is quite feasible. Rough estimates suggest that these costs could be recovered in a single year by as little as a 10% reduction in the rate of abuse and neglect.

Comparative performances of selected chiral HPLC, SFC, and CE systems with a chemically diverse sample set.

Pharmaceutical companies have a continuous need to resolve new racemates. Analysis may be required in aqueous and nonaqueous media, or in the presence of several different sets of potentially interfering compounds. There is often a preparative requirement. For these reasons analysts may require a number of different separation systems capable of resolving a given pair of enantiomers. We wished to improve upon existing approaches that address this situation and undertook a program of work to screen over 100 racemates, selected for their chemical diversity, on over 100 different chiral HPLC, SFC, and CE systems. Here we report results of this comparison and illustrate the use of rapid gradient screening as a valuable tool for chiral method development.
