TL;DR: This meta-analysis on music research with premature infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) showed an overall large, significant, consistent effect size of almost a standard deviation and the homogeneity of findings suggests that music has statistically significant and clinically important benefits for premature babies in the NICU.

TL;DR: A model, Parenting and Childhood Chronicity (PACC), that was developed during an interpretive study with 43 parents of 34 children with various chronic conditions, is presented.

TL;DR: Results indicate patients leaving pediatric care without adequate transfer preparation and readiness to transfer is not the major consideration in the decision to transfer, follow-up often ceases once the patients leave pediatric care, and patients who maintain follow- up appointments are more efficient in managing their illness.

TL;DR: Findings from quantitative self-report measures and videotaped parent-child interactions showed a remarkable similarity between mothers of children with CHD and mothers of healthy children, and qualitative data revealed important differences with mothers of CHD children reporting high levels of vigilance with their children.

TL;DR: Black mothers were more stressed by the sights and sounds of the hospital environment; however, the levels of their stress were only moderate; on the other hand, mothers with less education expressed more worry about their infants than did mothers with more education.

TL;DR: Analysis of data suggested that pet visits relieved stress, normalized the hospital milieu, and improved patient and parent morale.

TL;DR: Content analysis revealed that the majority of siblings reported interventions aimed at meeting their needs for emotional and instrumental support, followed by informational and appraisal support, as being most helpful in adjusting to the childhood cancer experience.

TL;DR: This article provides a detailed example of a model of transition for cystic fibrosis services to encourage practice and evaluation of provision.

TL;DR: Longitudinal studies are needed to determine whether aggression, delinquent behaviors, and attention problems in children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes result later in depression and elevated levels of GHb in these same individuals or whether these elevations are transient.

TL;DR: The private space issues of the adolescent patient in the ward environment are addressed and issues that are discussed include the use of the telephone, the bathroom, and the bedroom, and additional facilities needed to enhance privacy in the Ward.

TL;DR: The Double ABCX Model is fairly effective in conceptualizing the process of parents' adaptation to the child's CI, and similarities and differences between fathers and mothers are revealed.

TL;DR: The profiles can be used as exemplars that parents can use to recognize their child's temperament and further research is needed to explore whether different developmental outcomes are associated with the profiles.

TL;DR: The development and initial field test of The Care of My Child with Cancer, a caregiving demand instrument specific to the childhood cancer population, demonstrated strong internal consistency and test-retest reliability, and exploratory factor analysis provided initial evidence for the instrument's construct validity.

TL;DR: Feelings such as concern, fear, helplessness, anxiety, and depression were commonly experienced by the parents during their child's hospitalization and most of the parents' recommendations concerned the topic of providing information.

TL;DR: Examination of the perceptions of parents, nurses, and educators with regard to their school concerns and strategies for ensuring the safety and health of these students found that attending school provided benefits to most children who are medically fragile/technology-dependent, but also perceived that there were real risks involved.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the degree to which an infant was unresponsive and the severity of the baby's physical health problems during the first year were associated with more mental health problems for the mother.

TL;DR: Findings demonstrate a need for additional support for mothers in their role in caring for the chronically ill child, as mothers within intact families had a greater tendency to use coping patterns related to family integration and cooperation.

TL;DR: A new philosophical model for pediatric nursing, the Parent-Staff Interaction Model of Pediatric Care, is presented and analyzed using Jacqueline Fawcett's framework for evaluation of nursing models.

TL;DR: Findings provide validity for the Prohibition Coding Scheme and extend the knowledge base for guiding parents in their socializing strategies relative to developing self-regulation.

TL;DR: Common stress factors of parents included financial and bureaucratic problems, growth and development of ill children, fluid-diet restriction and educational problems of children, lack of social support, and anxiety about losing their children at any moment.

TL;DR: The pattern of autonomy for adolescents with IDDM is congruent with that of adolescents without chronic illness and the three autonomy types are conceptually distinct and one aspect of emotional autonomy was related to poorer metabolic control.

TL;DR: A conceptual framework based on a stress/coping paradigm relating chronic illness, coping resources for adaptation, and quality of life for research and practice is proposed.

TL;DR: This article addresses both the communication style and subsequent concept identified in women living with HIV/AIDS called "silencing the self," and the clinical implications for pediatric nurses who support and offer family-centered care to their patients.

TL;DR: Findings affirm the parent-child interaction model generated by Kathryn E. Barnard and support this framework as a tool for investigating the relationships between these children and their caregivers.

TL;DR: Ten features of effective positive youth development programs are described, and the importance of engaging policymakers in order to broadly disseminate and sustain effective programs is stressed.

TL;DR: The magnitude of the problem of antibiotic resistance as it relates to pediatric outpatient upper respiratory tract infection and otitis media is discussed, practitioner prescribing practices that contribute to widespread antibiotic use are analyzed, and provider and patient intervention are suggested to improve the rational use of antibiotics.

TL;DR: The study compared the differences of stress and coping strategies between the two groups using closed-ended questionnaires, and found the control group (fever group) showed higher "stress," "conflict," and "help needs."

TL;DR: The evolution of visual media that was developed to enhance a clinical intervention called INSIGHTS into Children's Temperament, and the implications of conducting a theory-based intervention within a school environment are discussed.

TL;DR: The Resiliency Model was used to examine its applicability in caring for Chinese families and helped nurses to establish culturally sensitive nursing interventions and decrease family stress.
