RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Emergence delirium is frequently observed in pediatric patients. With advancements in video-based interventions, such as cartoons, video games, and virtual reality, these modalities may contribute to a reduced incidence of emergency delirium among children. However, robust evidence supporting their efficacy remains necessary. METHODS: The authors conducted a systematic search across multiple databases, including Embase, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library, to identify all randomized controlled trials comparing video-based interventions with control treatments in pediatric emergence delirium. Data were aggregated and analyzed using Review Manager 5.4 to evaluate the effectiveness of video-based interventions. RESULTS: The analysis included eight randomized controlled trials comprising 872 children. The intervention group showed a trend toward lower Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scores (p = 0.10) and fewer emergence delirium events (p = 0.52). Seven studies demonstrated that video-based interventions significantly reduced preoperative anxiety, as indicated by decreased scores on the modified Yale Pre-operative Anxiety Scale (p < 0.00001). Anesthesia duration did not significantly differ between the intervention and control groups (p = 0.16). Notably, subgroup analyses revealed a significant reduction in Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scores among children under seven years of age (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Video-based interventions were linked to lower Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scores and a decreased incidence of emergence delirium events. However, these results did not reach statistical significance across the broader sample. Notably, in children under seven, these interventions significantly reduced the scores. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.

RESUMEN

AIM: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two visual pedagogy methods, video modeling and educational posters, on improving tooth-brushing autonomy in 10-12-year-old children with mild autism. METHODS: Sixty-four autistic children were randomly assigned to either the video or poster groups using the Rand function in Excel. Toothbrushing skills were divided into five stages: preparation, buccal, occlusal, lingual surfaces, and the end. These five stages comprised a total of 20 steps, with each step scored from 1 (not done at all) to 5 (done independently). The final score was calculated by averaging the scores of the five stages. The FONES method of toothbrushing was used for training. Follow-up assessments were conducted after 1 and 3 months. The data were analyzed using SPSS V26, including t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and repeated-measures ANOVA. RESULTS: After 3 months, there were significant improvements in autonomy scores for both groups, with the video group showing greater benefits (4.37 ± 0.43) compared to the poster group (4.11 ± 0.49) (p = .03), with an effect size of η2 = .07. CONCLUSION: Both video and poster methods were effective in improving tooth-brushing skills, but video modeling was associated with a higher total autonomy score.

RESUMEN

Background: Audiovisual distraction is a potentially good technique to reduce medical treatment procedure-related fear and anxiety among children. However, few studies have assessed its effectiveness. Objective: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis for evaluating the effectiveness of audiovisual distraction in reducing pain anxiety in pediatrics. Methods: Randomized control trials and experimental studies that reported the use of audiovisual distraction during medical/dental treatments among children aged 3-8 years, used the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale to assess pain, and were published between 2005-2021 and in English were retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. A random-effects model was used for evidence analysis. Results: A total of four studies were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis: two were from South Asia and one each were from Africa and North America. Three of these studies were randomized control trials. The variability among the studies was high. Three of the four studies found that AV techniques were significantly effective in reducing pain during procedures compared with the control group (P < 0.00001), while one study found no difference; the cumulative evidence in the forest plot was similar. Conclusion: Cumulative evidence suggests that the use of audiovisual distraction is an effective strategy in reducing medical/dental procedures-related pain anxiety among children aged 3-8 years. However, evidence on this is currently limited, and thus further studies are required using various AD techniques and on different populations to substantiate these findings. Funding: None.

RESUMEN

Background: The "Leo&Giulia standing for public health" project is an innovative digital health education model targeting primary school children. The project, developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, aims to educate primary school-aged children about public health issues through an animated cartoon series. It highlights the importance of early-life health promotion and the potential role of educational settings in shaping health behaviours. Study design: A 2-year school-based cluster-randomized controlled community trial will be conducted among 8-10-year-old pupils in the province of Pavia, Northern Italy. Methods: The intervention group will receive an educational programme via a new episode of "Leo&Giulia" animated series, focusing on smoking prevention. The study will assess changes in knowledge, attitudes towards smoking, and communication about smoking risks among peers and parents. The trial involves baseline and follow-up assessments through questionnaires targeting both children and parents. Results (expected): We assume that children in the intervention group will demonstrate increased knowledge and awareness of smoking-related health risks and develop negative attitudes towards tobacco use compared to the control group. Enhanced communication about tobacco harms among peers and between children and parents, as well as increased parental involvement in anti-smoking socialization practices, are expected secondary outcomes. Discussion and Conclusions: "Leo&Giulia" integrates health education into the school curriculum, leveraging the appeal of animated content to engage children in public health topics. The project is expected to contribute to the field of health education by demonstrating the effectiveness of digital health interventions in childhood, foreseeing potential long-term impacts on health behaviors and in shaping future public health strategies.

RESUMEN

Introducción y objetivo: Los videos, como material didáctico complementario, pueden reemplazar parte de las horas de docencia y ayudar en la adquisición de conocimientos en Otorrinolaringología. Para ello se pretende analizar el impacto de la visualización de 4 videos en el resultado de 6 preguntas específicas del examen teórico de la asignatura y evaluar la percepción de estos videos. Método: Estudio analítico cuasi experimental transversal realizado en 213 estudiantes de Otorrinolaringología de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid divididos en 2 grupos: grupo intervención y grupo control. Las diferencias en el rendimiento en las 6 preguntas entre ambos grupos se determinaron mediante la prueba χ2 o el test exacto de Fisher, con un valor de significación p<0.05. Además, para evaluar la percepción de los estudiantes se revisaron las opiniones registradas en los cuadernos de rotación hospitalaria. Resultados: Los videos tuvieron 883 visualizaciones al momento del análisis de los datos y la mayoría de las opiniones fueron positivas (94.87%). Se observaron diferencias significativas (p<0.01) en el resultado de los estudiantes en dos preguntas: “oído 1” (27.78% de aciertos en el grupo intervención vs. 7.50% en el grupo control) y “cuello 2” (38.89% vs. 81.80%). La mayoría de los comentarios sobre los videos (94.87%) fueron positivos. Discusión y conclusiones: no se pudo demostrar un impacto directo en los resultados académicos pero el fácil acceso a los videos y los comentarios positivos sobre estos evidenciaron su utilidad como una herramienta complementaria para la enseñanza de la asignatura.

RESUMEN

The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic forced medical schools around the world to adopt emergency remote learning as a resort to avoid interruption of courses. However, the effectiveness of online classes as an educational strategy has been questioned by medical educators and students. In a prospective observational study design, students enrolled in a renal physiology and pathophysiology course were exposed to either face-to-face or remote synchronous classes. Students taught online obtained significantly higher mean scores than the group who had in-person classes, both groups assessed with identical exams. Appropriate screening tests suggested that fraud is unlikely to have significantly influenced these results and that the observed differences in performance reflected increased learning by the remote group. These observations suggest that online classes can help to maintain the continuity of physiology and pathophysiology courses during periods of social isolation and may contribute to improving learning under normal conditions.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In this study, we were able to make a rare direct comparison of face-to-face and remote strategies for the teaching of undergraduate medical students in a specific area, namely, renal pathophysiology. Unexpectedly, students who attended the remote course had significantly higher grades than those who had mostly in-person classes.

RESUMEN

Objectives: Visual aids (VAs) seem effective to improve doctor-patient communication. The objective was to describe how VAs are used in consultation and what French general practitioners (GPs) expect of them. Methods: Cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire among French GPs in 2019. Descriptive and multinominal logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: Of the 376 respondents, 70% used VAs at least weekly and 34% daily; 94% considered VAs useful/very useful; 77% felt they did not use VAs enough. Sketches were the most used VAs and considered the most useful. Younger age was significantly associated with a higher rate of use of simple digital images. VAs were mainly used to describe anatomy and facilitate patient comprehension. Main reasons for not using VAs more often were time spent searching, lack of habit and poor quality of available VAs. Many GPs requested a database of good quality VAs. Conclusions: GPs use VAs regularly in consultations but would like to use them more often. Informing GPs of the usefulness of VAs, training them to draw adapted sketches and creating a good quality databank are some possible strategies to increase the use of VAs. Innovation: This study described in detail the use of VAs as tool for doctor-patient communication.

It is essential that the programmatic content of the faculties of health sciences disclose its meaning and importance. Anyone who intends a professional practice, in which they interact directly with life, must acquire skills from the field of bioethics with foundations rooted in the ethical principles of non-maleficence, beneficence, autonomy and justice. In such a way that they develop the capacity for critical reflection on the ethical conflicts caused by advances in the science of life and medicine. Every day, the use of audiovisual tools in teaching is proposed more, to make it easier for students to approach ethical dilemmas and create spaces for analysis, discussion, help understanding, memory and interpretation of this topic. This article aims to disseminate the experience through the implementation of a pedagogical strategy that involves cinema and commercial films as a means of learning bioethics in a group of postgraduate health students.

RESUMEN

Background: Pharmaceutical pictograms are standardized images used to visually convey medication instructions. Very little is known about the ability of Africans to interpret these images. Objectives: Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the guessability (ability to correctly guess meaning) of selected International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) and United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) pictograms in members of the Nigerian public. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out between May and August 2021 on 400 randomly sampled members of Nigerian public. Selected pictograms (24 FIP and 22 USP pictograms) were grouped and printed on A3 sheets of paper which were used to interview members of the public who fulfilled the study's' eligibility criteria. Respondents were asked to guess the meanings of either the FIP or USP pictograms, and their answers written down verbatim. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to report the data collected. Results: Four hundred respondents were interviewed, with 200 respondents each assessing the guessability of the FIP and USP pictograms. The guessability of assessed FIP pictograms ranged between 3.5 and 95%, while that for the USP pictograms was 27.5-97%. Eleven FIP and Thirteen USP pictograms respectively achieved the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) comprehensibility cutoff point of 67%. Guessing performance (the total number of pictograms correctly guessed by an individual) of respondents that assessed the FIP pictograms was significantly associated with their age (p = 0.044) and highest level of education completed (p = 0.003). For the USP pictograms, guessing performance was only significantly associated with the highest educational level completed (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Guessability of both pictogram types varied widely, but the guessability of the USP pictograms was generally better than that for the FIP pictograms. Many of the tested pictograms may however need to be redesigned before they can be correctly interpreted by members of the Nigerian public.

RESUMEN

Objective@#To explore the association between digital devices usage and body weight overestimation in children and adolescents aged 7-18, in order to provide a scientific basis for body weight overestimation prevention in children and adolescents.@*Methods@#Based on the data of the Research Special Project for Public Welfare Industry of Health using stratified cluster sampling method in 2012, a tatal of 40 073 children and adolescents from 7 provinces with complete information were chosen. Ordinal multivariable Logistic regression model estimated the association between digital devices usage and body weight overestimation.@*Results@#A total of 4 276(11.8%) students with overestimation of body weight were detected, who spent >300 min/d time in digital devices(5.12%) than others (3.84%)( χ 2=19.14, P <0.01). Univariate analysis showed that students with time spent on digital devices >300 min/d had a higher risk in overestimation of body weight ( OR=1.36,95%CI=1.18-1.57,P <0.01) compared with students who spent on digital devices≤120 min/d. There was still a significant association after confounder adjustment ( OR=1.28, 95%CI= 1.10-1.48,P <0.05). Stratified analysis showed that the association between digital devices usage and overestimation of body weight were only observed in girls, 11-18 years old and non single child( P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#The time usage of digital devices is associated with overestimation of body weight in children and adolescents. It may helpful for children and adolescents to prevent overestimation of body weight by reducing time spent on digital devices.

RESUMEN

Objective@#To explore the use of personal audio devices and hearing impairment among high school students, so as to provide reference for the development of adolescent hearing health work.@*Methods@#The simple random sampling method was used to collect research data relating to 1 768 high school students. The situation of personal audio players, headphone and hearing damage were investigated by using a self designed questionnaire, so as to identify the related factors of hearing impairment which were analyzed statistically by multivariate Logistic regression.@*Results@#The use rate of PAP and earphones was 98.64% and 94.12 %, respectively, and the use rate of female students(99.68%, 96.42%) was higher than that of male students(97.43%, 91.43 %)( χ 2=16.69, 19.79, P <0.01). Hearing impairment accounted for 13.35%. The Logistic regression analysis showed that PAP service years ( OR =1.59, P <0.05) were related to hearing impairment. Gender ( OR =0.60), in ear earphones ( OR =1.38), earplug earphones ( OR =1.37), and quiet use >1 h ( OR =1.50) were independently influenced with symptoms of hearing impairment during/after earphone use( P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#High usage rates of personal audio equipment among high school students lead to hearing impairment and related symptoms. Non essential use should be reduced.

RESUMEN

RESUMO Intervenções para a capacitação parental de famílias de crianças com deficiência auditiva, incluindo as usuárias de implante coclear, são apontadas como otimizadoras em seus resultados de desenvolvimento. Neste estudo de intervenção de caso único, temos por objetivos descrever o uso do videofeedback em ambiente remoto, bem como identificar a sua efetividade, a partir da análise da interação da mãe e criança, tanto para os comportamentos comunicativos da mãe como para os comportamentos da linguagem receptiva e expressiva da criança. Medidas pré e pós-intervenção foram realizadas, a partir da análise de vídeos de interação da mãe com a criança, por juízes cegos, bem como pela aplicação de instrumentos de avaliação da criança e da mãe. Foram realizadas 13 sessões, sendo 3 de avaliação nos momentos pré e pós-intervenção e 10 sessões de teleconsulta em que se empregou a ferramenta de videofeedback com a mãe. Os dados foram analisados de forma descritiva e inferencial, por meio do método JT, que determinou o Índice de Mudança Confiável (IMC) e a Significância Clínica. Houve mudança positiva confiável na linguagem receptiva e expressiva da criança, bem como mudança positiva confiável e mudança clínica significativa na interação da mãe com a criança após as 10 sessões de intervenção remota com videofeedback. A partir das mudanças confiáveis observadas neste estudo, apresentamos este modelo (Televideofeedback), como potencial para otimizar os recursos e esforços para o sucesso terapêutico na reabilitação auditiva infantil, o qual deve ser estudado em pesquisas com método rigoroso, para a ampla recomendação de seu uso.

ABSTRACT Interventions for parental training for families of hard of hearing children, including cochlear implant users, are identified as optimizing their developmental outcomes. In this single-case intervention study, we aim to describe the use of videofeedback in a remote environment, as well as to identify its effectiveness, based on the analysis of mother-child interaction, both for the mother's communicative behaviors and for the behaviors of the mother, receptive and expressive language of the child. Pre- and post-intervention measurements were performed, based on video analysis of the mother's interaction with the child, by blind judges, as well as through the application of assessment instruments for the child and the mother. There were 13 sessions, 3 of which were for evaluation before and after the intervention and 10 of teleconsultation sessions in which the videofeedback tool was used with the mother. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially, using the JT method, which determined the Reliable Change Index (BMI) and Clinical Significance. There was reliable positive change in the child's receptive and expressive language, as well as reliable positive change and clinically significant change in mother-child interaction after the 10 sessions of remote videofeedback intervention. Based on the reliable changes observed in this study, we present this model (televideofeedback) as a potential to optimize resources and efforts for therapeutic success in children's auditory rehabilitation, which should be studied in research with a rigorous method, for the broad recommendation of its use.

RESUMEN

Antecedentes: La identificación de activos de salud y la difusión de los mismos por parte de los profesionales de Atención Primaria (AP) mejora la calidad de vida de las personas. En este proyecto se pretende dar voz a diversos activos comunitarios del Área Sanitaria de Vigo e iniciar la formación de una red local para la salud en el área. Método: Estudio cualitativo de investigación-acción participativa (IAP). Se hicieron cuatro entrevistas en formato vídeo a asociaciones que trabajan con grupos de población especialmente afectados por la situación sanitaria de pandemia de la COVID-19. Se publicaron en el canal de YouTube de la Unidad Docente de Atención Familiar y Comunitaria (UDAFyC) de Vigo. Se acompañaron de la transcripción de la entrevista y de la documentación facilitada por la propia asociación. Fueron difundidos por el grupo promotor del proyecto y otros recursos externos. Se evaluó el impacto analizando las visualizaciones en cada una de ellas. Resultados: Los vídeos tuvieron una duración media de 10 minutos. El pico de visualizaciones se encuentra entre los 2-3 primeros días tras su publicación y las visitas al canal de YouTube fueron un total de 618, siendo las aplicaciones externas WhatsApp (178) y Facebook (86) las más utilizadas para acceder a la plataforma. Únicamente una de las asociaciones entrevistadas compartió el vídeo realizado en sus redes sociales. Discusión: La mayor parte de la difusión ha sido a través del grupo promotor y de la Unidad Docente Multidisciplinar de Vigo, siendo efectiva la instauración del recurso de difusión vía telemática. La mayoría de los activos comunitarios están dispuestos a colaborar en este tipo de proyectos, aunque no tienen gran peso en la difusión posterior del vídeo. Es importante mantener este tipo de difusiones y evaluaciones en el tiempo para ampliar y mejorar los conocimientos de los activos comunitarios por parte de la población. (AU)

Background. The identification of community assets and their dissemination by primary care professionals improves people's quality of life. Therefore, in this project we tried to give a voice to different community assets in the Vigo Health Area and to start training a local health network in the area. Method. By means of qualitative study research - participatory action we performed four interviews in video format with associations who work with population groups especially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic health situation. They were published on the Vigo Family and Community Attention Teaching unit (UDAFyC) YouTube channel and were disseminated by the group promoting the project and other external resources. Next, we evaluated the impact by analyzing the number of times they were seen. Results. The videos lasted on average 10 minutes. The peak number of views was between the first two to three days after their publication and the YouTube channel received a total of 618 visits; WhatsApp and Facebook being the applications most used to access the platform. Only one association interviewed shared the video on their social networks. Discussion. Most dissemination was by means of the promoter group and the Vigo Multidisciplinary Teaching Unit. Establishment of the online dissemination resource was effective. Most community assets are willing to collaborate in this type of project, although they do not have a great weight in subsequent dissemination of the video. It is important to maintain this type of dissemination and evaluations over time to expand and improve the knowledge of community assets by the population. Conclusions. In total, the channel received a total of 618 visits with external sources such as WhatsApp and Facebook being the most used for access. (AU)
