摘要:

Temperament theory is offered as a framework for systematically individualizing the psychosocial care of hospitalized children Empirical research on temperament is cited An application of the theory is illustrated through a presentation of three case studies of children who have cystic fibrosis as their primary diagnosis The discussion of the children demonstrates how their psychosocial responses to hospitalization were related to their temperaments The case studies also show how the hospital environment was adapted to meet the individual child's needs and also how children impact on their caretakers.

摘要:

Thirty mothers of preterm infants requiring neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hospitalization were assigned randomly to one of three groups to assess differences in treatment effectiveness of facilitating parental adaptation to the NICU stresses Groups consisted of (a) a treatment group receiving videotape training in active problem-focused coping strategies, (b) a treatment group receiving videotape training in emotion-focused strategies to help manage anxiety, and (c) a control group receiving promotional information about the hospital and the NICU On pretreatment measures most of the mothers exhibited little distress, a finding unlike those for the majority of NICU studies On posttreatment follow-up both the problemfocused and emotion-focused treatment groups were significantly less anxious than the controls and lower levels of depression were observed for the emotion-focused group Findings suggest that the coping interventions examined were cost efficient and appear promising in facilitating mothers' coping with NICU stresses.

摘要:

Hydrocephalic children typically show lower nonverbal than verbal intellectual abilities visual deficits, and muscle incoordination One subgroup of learning disabled children, dyserdetic dyslexics, have the same relative nonverbal weakness, but not the other associated deficits The present investigation compared hydrocephalic (H, n = 8), dyseidetic dyslexic (D, n = 8), and IQ-matched regular class children (C, n = 8) on intellectual, visual-perceptual, and spatial reasoning tasks Univariate analyses indicated that, compared to both other groups, H had significantly lower WISC-R Performance IQ scores, F(2,21) = 6 14, p<01, McCarthy Motor Scale scores, F(2,21) = 7 03, p<01 and a significantly greater WISC-R VerbalPerformance discrepancy, F(2,21) = 4 79, p<05 Hydrocephalic children had deficits large enough to be apparent even when compared to dyseidetic children known to have similar relative nonverbal weaknesses These deficits were present despite early surgical correction and present remission of the hydrocephalus.

摘要:

Current research suggests that the prematurity label influences adult attitudes toward the infant The present investigation examined the attitudes of professionals in-training The sample included three groups with either an extensive, moderate, or minimal degree of training to work with infants and children who have special needs A total of 52 subjects viewed a videotape of infants labeled full-term or preterm and male or female and completed a 26-item questionnaire for rating the infants Principal findings were (1) there was no significant effect in the ratings of the three groups for cognitive competency, physical potency, or sociability in rating the infants, (2) those with extensive training rated the infants as more awake irrespective of birth status, (3) individuals with moderate and minimal training rated labeled premature infants as more cuddly, (4) all groups rated premature infants as less physically attractive and (5) minimally trained subjects rated premature infants as more likeable Implications are presented regarding the role of practitioners who work with at-risk children and their families.
