Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School health professionals have a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of children and their families. The healthcare needs of school-age children are numerous. Schools are often perceived as important settings in which to deliver healthcare services to children. This exploratory, descriptive study examines parents' and teachers' perceptions of primary health needs of school-age children. Surveys were distributed to the teachers at and to the parents of children attending an elementary school located in a rural, low-income community in Minnesota. Results revealed that in general, parents' and teachers' perceptions of health problems among school-age children were similar, with colds, upper respiratory infections, and the flu being cited most frequently as health problems. Other key categories of health problems cited by parents included ear infections, poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and obesity. Categories of health problems cited by teachers included poor nutrition, mental health issues, lack of exercise and obesity, and home and environmental conditions. Parents were more satisfied than teachers with the handling of these problems in the community. The majority of parents and teachers were aware of the health services provided in the school. Increased mental health services, increased nutrition education, better dental programs, and an onsite nurse practitioner or medical doctor were some of the services parents and teachers identified as not available in the school but needed in that setting.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Parental Perceptions of Body Mass Index and Obesity in School Age Children Background: Childhood obesity research focuses on causes and complications. Gaps exist related to parental perceptions of BMI as a screening tool for obesity, receipt of BMI information, and the school's role in the collection and distribution of BMI data. Objectives: To determine: (a) parental perceptions regarding the causes of obesity and use of BMI as a screening tool for obesity; (b) preference for method of receipt of BMI information; and (c) parental perceptions of the school's role in prevention and treatment of childhood obesity. Method: This cross sectional, descriptive study used convenience sampling. Participants were parents of elementary school age children attending a suburban school. An anonymous survey "Parental perceptions of Body Mass Index and obesity in the school age child" was adapted from a previously used instrument. The survey and attached introductory letter were placed in the mail folders of all children attending the latchkey program. Parents returned the survey to a sealed box at the site. Results: Of the 507 surveys distributed and received by parents, 117 surveys were returned, yielding a 23% response rate. Participants were typically female, 40 years old or younger, white, had two school age children, and a college graduate with a BMI between 17.8 and 24.9 kg/m2. Parents in this study who were male and had lower educational status had significantly higher BMIs. The majority of participants identified inactivity, poor eating behavior, lack of parental control in what children eat, and eating too much as the main causes of childhood obesity. The preferred method of receiving information about their child's BMI from the school was via a letter from the school nurse (67.5%). Parents agreed that physical education classes should be present in schools (99.1%) as well as units on nutrition and weight control (82.8%). Parents also supported eliminating junk food machines and offering special low calorie meals. Conclusions: Parents demonstrated support for school intervention in the obesity epidemic. School and public health nurses can use this information to advocate for physical education classes, health curriculum on nutrition and weight control, reducing the amount of junk food that is available, and offering special low calorie meals. Furthermore, school nurses should focus on the parents' desire to receive their child's BMI information in a letter from the nurse. Forming a parent/school nurse/administrator group to draft an appropriate letter may increase acceptance. Additional research should be conducted which addresses the outcomes of sending such letters home. School and public health nurses are in a prime position to collect data in their school districts to determine parental preferences and beliefs regarding BMI and childhood obesity.

This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in medical care and treatment options have extended the life expectancy of millions of youths with chronic conditions. These changes in prognosis have led many teens to not only survive but also thrive in adulthood. However, less is known about how parents and youth prepare for adulthood, or about the beliefs they have around becoming an adult with a chronic condition. What are parents thinking about as they teach their children to manage their condition? Findings from a mixed-method study are used to explore the unique beliefs and behaviors of parents raising a child with a chronic condition in greater depth. Understanding the beliefs, worries, and behaviors of parents has major implications for those providing care to them. This book provides healthcare professionals with a more nuanced way to think about what families are doing in order to provide more effective resources and support to those families.
