INTRODUCTION: Children with elevated body mass index (BMI) do not consistently receive recommended laboratory screenings. This project aimed to increase provider screening rates and knowledge of screening guidelines for this population. METHOD: This project utilized the Rosswurm and Larrabee evidence-based practice model. Providers completed education with pretest and posttest design. Laboratory screening rates were measured with retrospective chart reviews, and a project satisfaction survey was conducted...

INTRODUCTION: Parent caregivers of children who require lifesaving medical technology (e.g., mechanical ventilation, feeding tubes) must constantly maintain vigilance. Poor physical and psychological health can negatively impact their ability to do so. METHOD: A two-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted with 197 parent caregivers of technology-dependent children (aged < 18 years) to test the efficacy of Resourcefulness Training1 , a cognitive-behavioral intervention that teaches social (help-seeking) and personal (self-help) resourcefulness skills, in improving key outcomes including mental health-related quality of life (HRQOL), depressive cognitions and symptoms, perceived and physiological chronic stress, burden, and physical HRQOL at five-time points...

Kawasaki disease, or mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, is an acute systemic vasculitis involving small and medium-sized vessels. It can be complicated by varying degrees of cardiac damage, especially coronary artery disease. The disease mainly occurs in children aged < 5 years, with rarer cases in older children and adults. Intravenous immunoglobulin combined with aspirin is the widely accepted treatment regimen in the acute phase, but the dosage recommended by the American Heart Association guidelines is not suitable for heavier children...

INTRODUCTION: Many emergency medical services (EMS) agencies have implemented alternative disposition programs for low-acuity complaints, including transportation to clinics. Our objectives were to describe pediatric primary care providers' views on alternative EMS disposition programs. METHOD: We conducted virtual focus groups with pediatric primary care providers. A hybrid inductive and deductive analytical strategy was used. Codes were grouped into themes by consensus...

INTRODUCTION: With the continued armed conflict impacting Ukrainian families, it is important to understand the influence of escape, displacement, and relocation on the disruption to daily life, particularly on young child feeding. METHOD: A phenomenological study explored 16 refugee mothers' experiences and perceptions of feeding young children since the onset of the conflict and following relocation to America or Israel. RESULTS: Four themes were identified from the narratives: culturally-based perceptions of young child nutrition; breastfeeding during the conflict and relocation; challenges with accessing nutritious food during the conflict and relocation; and food adaptation on relocation...

INTRODUCTION: The rapid and widespread shift to virtual care during COVID-19 created new opportunities and unique challenges for families of children with medical complexity (CMC). However, few studies have examined perceptions of virtual care during the pandemic in this population. METHOD: To address this gap, the current study used a qualitative approach and semistructured interviews via Zoom to explore parent perspectives of virtual care. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 30 parents residing with their CMC (aged 0-18 years) in British Columbia, Canada...

Health care clinicians, educators, and students who plan and implement quality improvement (QI) projects must know reporting guidelines for successful project planning and publication. We aimed to identify QI guidelines, which authors can locate, and highlight how best to use them for manuscript preparation. We also address guidelines for educational QI projects. Because of the increasing number of Doctor of Nursing Practice projects generated, these students and their mentors must be familiar with commonly used guidelines for reporting QI projects to facilitate peer review, demonstrate quality and rigor of work, reduce revisions, and potentially accelerate a paper's acceptance for publication...

Propelled by immigration, language diversity is increasing in the United States, and more young children are exposed to two or more languages at home from birth. Known as dual language learners (DLLs), the benefits of this exposure include multilingual and multiliterate outcomes. However, DLLs introduce complexity for the pediatric provider's assessment of language development, identification of potential language delays, and timely referrals. If language delays are not promptly identified and followed with early intervention, they can persist and lead to poor outcomes across multiple domains...
