RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: This study explored sharenting's impact on children's privacy and factors influencing parental sharing. Limited knowledge raises concerns about children's rights in this growing phenomenon. METHOD: A quasi-experimental cross-sectional study included 411 parents (372 females, 39 males) with a mean age of 38.5 ± 10.5 years. Chi-square tests analyzed group differences; regression assessed the "sharenting practice" impact. RESULTS: Out of 411 parents, 67.2% (n = 247) shared photographs of their children on social media, whereas 32.8% (n = 164) did not share. Significant associations were found between sharenting and factors such as younger age (B = -0.06, p = .002), lower bachelor's degree level (B = 0.87, p < .001), higher internet addiction (B = 0.05, p < .001), and longer social media use (B = 0.17, p < .001). DISCUSSION: Understanding factors in sharenting's impact on children's rights is crucial. Our findings suggest sociodemographic factors, internet addiction, and social media duration influence sharenting. Health professionals can guide parents on responsible social media usage and digital literacy to protect their children's online privacy.

RESUMEN

AIM: This study aims to investigate the effects of a neurofeedback system on cognitive skills, as measured by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R), in a cohort of 100 children aged 8 to 12 who were diagnosed with attention deficit. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A randomized single-blind sham control group design was employed, with 50 participants assigned to the experimental group receiving neurofeedback training and 50 participants assigned to the sham group receiving simulated training. Participants were selected through random sampling from individuals seeking assistance at a specialized education center over the course of one year (May 2021-2022). Pre- and post-test WISC-R assessments were administered to both groups to evaluate participants' mental performance. The experimental group underwent a total of 60 sessions of quantitative electroencephalography-based infralow frequency neurofeedback training, with half-hour sessions conducted three days a week over a five-month period. The post-test WISC-R was administered at the end of the sixth month. RESULTS: The results revealed significant differences between the pre- and post-training test scores, specifically in terms of verbal IQ, picture arrangement, performance IQ, and total IQ (p = 0.016, p = 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.002, respectively), when comparing the differences between the two groups. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate a notable improvement in performance IQ, total IQ, and a reduction in attention deficits among the neurofeedback group based on the WISC-R assessments. Future studies should consider employing larger sample sizes, including appropriate control groups, and conducting long-term follow-ups to further elucidate the clinical significance of these results.
