Evaluating the relationship between conditional cash transfer programme on preterm births: a retrospective longitudinal study using the 100 million Brazilian cohort.

BACKGROUND: Preterm births increase mortality and morbidity during childhood and later life, which is closely associated with poverty and the quality of prenatal care. Therefore, income redistribution and poverty reduction initiatives may be valuable in preventing this outcome. We assessed whether receipt of the Brazilian conditional cash transfer programme - Bolsa Familia Programme, the largest in the world - reduces the occurrence of preterm births, including their severity categories, and explored how this association differs according to prenatal care and the quality of Bolsa Familia Programme management. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed involving the first live singleton births to mothersenrolled in the 100 Million Brazilian Cohort from 2004 to 2015, who had at least one child before cohort enrollment. Only the first birth during the cohort period was included, but born from 2012 onward. A deterministic linkage with the Bolsa Familia Programme payroll dataset and a similarity linkage with the Brazilian Live Birth Information System were performed. The exposed group consisted of newborns to mothers who received Bolsa Familia from conception to delivery. Our outcomes were infants born with a gestational age < 37 weeks: (i) all preterm births, (ii) moderate-to-late (32-36), (iii) severe (28-31), and (iv) extreme (< 28) preterm births compared to at-term newborns. We combined propensity score-based methods and weighted logistic regressions to compare newborns to mothers who did and did not receive Bolsa Familia, controlling for socioeconomic conditions. We also estimated these effects separately, according to the adequacy of prenatal care and the index of quality of Bolsa Familia Programme management. RESULTS: 1,031,053 infants were analyzed; 65.9% of the mothers were beneficiaries. Bolsa Familia Programme was not associated with all sets of preterm births, moderate-to-late, and severe preterm births, but was associated with a reduction in extreme preterm births (weighted OR: 0.69; 95%CI: 0.63-0.76). This reduction can also be observed among mothers receiving adequate prenatal care (weighted OR: 0.66; 95%CI: 0.59-0.74) and living in better Bolsa Familia management municipalities (weighted OR: 0.56; 95%CI: 0.43-0.74). CONCLUSIONS: An income transfer programme for pregnant women of low-socioeconomic status, conditional to attending prenatal care appointments, has been associated with a reduction in extremely preterm births. These programmes could be essential in achieving Sustainable Development Goals.

Prepartum and postpartum mothers' and fathers' feelings of frustration in response to infant crying.

In this cross-sectional study performed in Canada, we evaluated the frustration levels of prepartum and postpartum mother and father couple-pairs. Our goal was to determine if there were differences in frustration levels between mothers and fathers while listening to prolonged infant crying, and further, how frustration levels might differ between prepartum and postpartum samples. Using two discrete groups, prepartum (Sample 1; N = 48) and postpartum (Sample 2; N = 44) mother and father couple-pairs completed 600 s of listening to audio-recorded infant cry sounds. Participants continuously reported their subjective frustration using a computerized Continuous Visual Analog Scale (CVAS). There was no significant difference in frustration responses between mothers and fathers across both prepartum and postpartum samples. Postpartum mothers and fathers experienced greater frustration than their prepartum counterparts, and frustration increased faster in postpartum couples compared to prepartum couples. Informing first-time parents of the universal experiences of frustration to prolonged crying bouts that are characteristic of their infant's early weeks of life may lead to greater understanding towards their infant, and perhaps decreased instances of harmful responses.

En este estudio transeccional, evaluamos los niveles de frustración de las parejas de mamás y papás antes y después del parto. Nuestro propósito fue determinar si hay diferencias entre mamás y papás en cuanto a los niveles de frustración mientras escuchan el prolongado llanto del infante, y cómo los niveles de frustración pudieran diferir entre grupos­muestra antes y después del parto. Usando dos grupos discretos, antes del parto (grupo­muestra 1; N = 48) y después del parto (grupo­muestra 2; N = 44), las parejas de mamás y papás completaron 600 segundos escuchando sonidos grabados en audio de llanto de infante. Los participantes continuamente reportaron su frustración subjetiva usando una escala análoga visual continua computarizada (CVAS). No hubo diferencia significativa en las respuestas de frustración entre mamás y papás a lo largo de los grupos­muestra tanto antes del parto como después del parto. Las mamás y papás en el grupo­muestra después del parto experimentaron mayor frustración que sus homólogos en el grupo­muestra antes del parto, y la frustración aumentó más rápido en las parejas del grupo­muestra después del parto tal como se les comparó con las parejas del grupo­muestra antes del parto. Estos resultados sugieren que las parejas primíparas posterior al parto están más propensas a experimentar considerables cantidades de frustración como respuesta al llanto del infante después que el bebé ha nacido. Informarles a los progenitores primerizos acerca de las experiencias generales de la frustración a los prolongados ataques de llanto que son característicos de las primeras semanas de vida de su infante pudiera llevar a una mayor comprensión hacia su infante y quizás disminuir las instancias de respuestas dañinas.

Dans cette étude transversale nous avons évalué les niveaux de frustration des couples­paires mère et père avant et après la naissance. Notre but était de déterminer s'il existe des différences entres les mères et les pères dans leurs niveaux de frustration en entendant des pleurs de bébé prolongés et de quelle manière les niveaux pourraient différer entre les échantillons avant la naissance et après la naissance. En utilisant deux groupes discrets, avant la naissance (Echantillon 1; N = 48) et après la naissance (Echantillon 2; N = 44) les couples­paires mère et père ont écouté 600 seconds d'enregistrements de pleurs de bébés. Les participants ont fait état de leur frustration subjective en utilisant une échelle analogique visuelle continue informatisée (CVAS). Il s'est avéré n'y avoir aucune différence importante dans les réactions de frustration entre les mères et les pères au travers des échantillons à la fois avant l'accouchement et après l'accouchement. Ces résultats suggèrent que les coupes postpartum primipares sont plus à même de faire l'expérience de niveaux élevés de frustration en réaction aux pleurs du bébé une fois le bébé arrivé. Informer les parents qui sont parents pour la première fois des expériences universelles de frustration aux crises de pleurs prolongées qui caractérisent les premières semaines de la vie des bébés peut mener à une plus grande compréhension de leur bébé et peut­être à une baisse des case d réactions néfastes.

How do maternal and child health nurses incorporate infant mental health promotion into their clinical practice? Experiences of an Australian municipality.

The field of infant mental health (IMH) has offered valuable insights into the critical importance of social-emotional development, including the enduring influence of early experiences throughout life. Maternal and Child Health (MCH) nurses are ideally placed to facilitate knowledge sharing with parents. This Australian-based qualitative exploratory descriptive study explored how MCH nurses incorporate IMH in their clinical practice, and how they share this information with caregivers. Ten community-based MCH nurses participated in voluntary, semi-structured interviews which were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. Findings identified five themes that characterized how MCH nurses incorporated IMH concepts into their practice. These themes were: prioritizing physical health promotion activities, highlighting infant communications, variations in knowledge and application of IMH concepts, workplace time schedules, and the relational nature of the work. Recommendations include encouraging IMH as a health promotion activity, facilitating IMH assessment, further education, reflective supervision, and extension of predetermined appointment times to enable knowledge and skill sharing. Further research is also recommended to provide additional insights into how nurses with IMH training promote and share IMH concepts with caregivers. Adoption of these recommendations would further enhance the care given to families and the role of the MCH nurses.

El campo de la salud mental infantil (IMH) ha ofrecido perspectivas valiosas sobre la suma importancia del desarrollo socioemocional en los primeros años para el desarrollo social y emocional posterior. Las enfermeras de la salud materno-infantil (MCH) se encuentran en posición ideal para facilitar el proceso de compartir conocimiento con los progenitores. Este estudio cualitativo, exploratorio y descriptivo, llevado a cabo en Australia, exploró cómo las enfermeras MCH incorporan IMH en sus prácticas clínicas y cómo ellas comparten esta información con los cuidadores. Un grupo de enfermeras MCH de base comunitaria participó en entrevistas voluntarias semiestructuradas. Las entrevistas se transcribieron palabra por palabra y se analizaron temáticamente. Los resultados identificaron cinco temas que caracterizaban cómo incorporaron los conceptos de IMH en su práctica. Estos temas fueron: actividades para promover el darle prioridad a la salud física, enfatizar las comunicaciones del infante, variaciones en el conocimiento y la aplicación de conceptos de IMH, tablas de horarios del lugar de trabajo y la naturaleza relacional del trabajo. Entre las recomendaciones se incluyen el fomentar IMH como una actividad de promoción de la salud, facilitar la evaluación de IMH, más educación, supervisión con reflexión, así como extensión del horario de citas predeterminado para permitir el proceso de compartir conocimiento y habilidades. También se recomienda más investigación para ofrecer perspectivas adicionales de cómo las enfermeras con entrenamiento de IMH promueven y comparten los conceptos de IMH con los cuidadores. La adopción de estas recomendaciones mejoraría más el cuidado que se ofrece a familias y el papel de las enfermeras MCH.

Le domaine de la santé mentale du nourrisson (IMH en anglais) a permis de mieux comprendre l'importance critique du développement socio-émotionnel dans les premières années pour le développement social et émotionnel ultérieur. Les infirmiers et infirmières de la Santé Maternelle et de l'Enfant (MCH en anglais) sont idéalement situées pour faciliter le partage des connaissances avec les parents. Cette étude Qualitative Exploratoire Descriptive, en Australie, a exploré comment les infirmier/infirmières MCH incorporent l'IMH dans leur pratique clinique et comment ils/elles partagent cette information avec les personnes prenant soin des enfants. Une cohorte de 10 infirmiers/infirmières MCH basées dans leur communauté ont participé à des entretiens volontaires semi-structurés. Les entretiens ont été transcrits verbatim et analysé de manière thématique. Les résultats ont identifié cinq thèmes qui ont caractérisé les concepts IMH dans leur pratique. Ces thèmes étaient: donner la priorité à la promotion d'activités de santé physique, la mise en évidence des communications du nourrisson, les variations dans les connaissances et l'application des concepts IMH, les emplois du temps du lieu de travail et la nature relationnelle du travail. Les recommandations incluent la nécessité d'encourager l'IMH en tant qu'activité de promotion de la santé, la facilitation de l'évaluation IMH, une formation supplémentaire, une supervision de réflexion et l'extension de rendez-vous pour développer les connaissances et partager les compétences. De plus amples recherches sont recommandées afin d'éclairer la manière dont les infirmiers/infirmières formées en IMH promeuvent et partagent les concepts IMH avec les personnes prenant soin des enfants. L'adoption de ces recommandations pour améliorer davantage le soin offert aux familles et les rôles des infirmiers/infirmières MCH.

[Exploring Needs, Motivations, and Limitations Towards Healthy Eating and Digital Resources: A Qualitative Study in a Mexican Primary Education Setting]. / Exploración de necesidades, motivaciones y limitaciones en relación con la alimentación saludable y recursos digitales: un estudio cualitativo en un entorno de educación primaria en México.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the needs, motivations, and limitations related to healthy eating and digital materials, as well as to identify patterns for their design as a strategy aimed at Mexican families. DESIGN: A qualitative observational study of the phenomenon through focus group sessions. LOCATION: A public primary education center in the city of Querétaro, Mexico. PARTICIPANTS: Children aged 9 to 11 years and parents, mothers, or caregivers with children in primary education. METHOD: Twelve sessions were conducted with three groups of students and two sessions with parents, mothers, or caregivers using an interview guide. Various digital materials, developed based on social cognitive theory, were presented during the sessions. The sessions were recorded with the participants' or their guardians' prior consent and transcribed for analysis. Coding was performed for key points of analysis, and information saturation was confirmed. RESULTS: Students expressed motivation towards digital material that promotes play and experimentation, especially within the family context. The main perceived barrier was the caregivers' resistance to change. Parents expressed motivation and a need for explanatory material on diseases, with economic and time-related barriers. CONCLUSIONS: Digital material based on social cognitive theory, designed to improve nutrition, can be an effective strategy in nutritional education if it considers the circumstances of the target population. It is advisable to include affective and behavioral elements to achieve meaningful learning within households.

[The provision of assisted death in the context of the desire to anticipate death]. / La prestación de ayuda a morir en el contexto del deseo de anticipar la muerte.

The entry into force of the Organic Law on the Regulation of Euthanasia in June 2021 obliges clinicians to reconsider their professional work, in the face of a new service that expands the limits of what was considered correct until then. This new service affects the entire healthcare system, but especially primary care professionals. Beyond the procedural and moral aspects, it is necessary to rethink the assessment of the patient who expresses a wish to die. In this review, we start with the relatively recent definition of the wish to hasten death (WTHD), its causes, epidemiology and differential diagnosis. Then, we examine the different mental frameworks found in the process of dying and the concept of a «good death¼. Finally, we analyse the paths that can lead to the provision of aid in dying within the framework of current legislation. The WTHD is specific to requests in case of «serious and advanced illness¼, not in other cases contemplated by the Law. When faced with a request to activate the Aid in Dying Prestation in the context of WTHD (that is, in the proximity of death), it becomes necessary to increase the patient's sense of control and begin to work on grief. Besides, in the face of an administrative process that will necessarily be long, adapting the therapeutic efforts and sedation should be considered as possible options. We understand that it is essential not to create false expectations for patients/families and not to overload healthcare professionals with administrative tasks that will be futile. It is difficult to balance these in the face of a request for a right to which the patient should always have access.

[Use of clinical ultrasound in primary care: Multicenter prospective study]. / Uso de la ecografía clínica en Atención Primaria. Estudio prospectivo multicéntrico.

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to describe the characteristics of the use of clinical ultrasound in two health centers (SC) of Health Area VII of the Region of Murcia (CS Murcia-Sur and CS Floridablanca). DESIGN: Observational, descriptive, longitudinal, prospective and multicenter study. SITE: CS Murcia-Sur and CS Floridablanca (Health Area VII of the Region of Murcia). PARTICIPANTS: One hundred and thirty-five patients were included. INTERVENTIONS: Performance of clinical ultrasound in the primary care (PC) consultation. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Demographic variables (age, sex), as well as clinical variables (reason for consultation, type of ultrasound, results, referrals to the second hospital level, degree of diagnostic agreement) were collected. RESULTS: One hundred and thirty-five patients were included, more than 50% were female. The main reason for consultation was musculoskeletal and soft tissue symptoms (44.4%), followed by digestive symptoms (21.5%). 44.4% of the ultrasounds were classified as normal, while pathological findings were found in 55.6%. Confirmatory tests were requested in 43.7% and the findings were confirmed in 67% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS: The use of ultrasound in PC allows to show the high prevalence of pathological findings in the examination of patients. In a technique that helps the clinician in his diagnostic-therapeutic process. The integration of clinical ultrasound in the PC consultation can save complementary studies and referrals to a second level of care. Its implementation in PC requires proper training of professionals.

Analysis of Madrid Primary Health-Care staff for the implementation of exercise prescription.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the self-perception of nurses and general practitioners (GPs) toward Physical Activity on Prescription (PAP) in Madrid Primary Health-Care (PHC). DESIGN: A survey-cohort study. SITE: Nurses and GPs of Madrid PHC System. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 319 GPs and 285 nurses' responders. MEASUREMENTS: Data were analyzed under a classification tree analysis by four predictor variables: (i) Health professional (Nurses/GPs); (ii) Exercise prescription collaboration with all health professionals: physicians, nurses, psychologists, physical therapists, sports medicine physicians, sports scientists, nutritionists, and teachers (Yes/No); (iii) PA promotion collaboration with Sports Scientists (Yes/No); and (iv) The stage of change of PHC staff to PA promotion (0-4 Likert scale). RESULTS: Regarding the predictor variable (i), responders without PA guidelines knowledge and positive attitude to collaborate with nurses in PA promotion are more GPs of female sex (nurses n=33 and GPs n=175) than male sex (nurses n=3 and GPs n=59) (p<.001). For the predictor variable (ii) only 9.30% of PHC staff with a positive attitude to collaborate with all health professionals in PA promotion and exercise prescription. For the predictor variable (iii) was shown low collaboration with sports physicians and sports scientists under a multidisciplinary PAP approach (26.50% responders). Finally, in the predictor variable (iv) Staff maintaining PAP for at least 6 months, self-considered active, and with PAP knowledge want to collaborate with Sports scientists (Yes=233; No=133). CONCLUSIONS: Nurses and GPs are conscious of health-related PA benefits despite the lack of PAP knowledge and lack of willingness to collaborate with other health personnel, exercise professionals, and community resources available.

Parental sensitivity, family alliance and infants' vagal tone: Influences of early family interactions on physiological emotion regulation.

In this study, we investigated the influence of parental sensitivity and family alliance on infants' vagal tone, considered as a physiological indicator of emotion regulation. Studies on mother-infant interactions have shown that vagal tone can be influenced by the quality of the interaction, such as interacting with a sensitive mother. To date, no study has investigated the influence of paternal sensitivity or family alliance on infants' vagal tone. We hypothesized that maternal sensitivity, paternal sensitivity, and family alliance would be associated with infants' vagal tone during dyadic and triadic interactions. We also explored if family alliance would act as a moderator on the association between parental sensitivity and vagal tone and if the sensitivity of both parents would act as a moderator on the association between family alliance and vagal tone. This study took place in Switzerland and included 82 families with their 3-4-month-old infants. Results showed that maternal sensitivity and family alliance were associated with infants' vagal tone, but paternal sensitivity was not. We found no significant moderation effect. However, result tendencies suggested that the contribution of paternal sensitivity to infants' emotion regulation could be influenced by family alliance, whereas maternal sensitivity and family alliance have a unique contribution.

En este estudio, investigamos la influencia de la sensibilidad del progenitor y la alianza de familia sobre el tono vagal del infante, considerado como un indicador fisiológico de regulación de la emoción. Los estudios acerca de las interacciones madre-infante han demostrado que el tono vagal puede ser influido por la calidad de la interacción, tal como el interactuar con una mamá sensible. Hasta hoy, ningún estudio ha investigado la influencia de la sensibilidad paterna o la alianza de familia sobre el tono vagal del infante. Nuestra hipótesis es que la sensibilidad materna, la sensibilidad paterna y la alianza de familia estaban asociadas con el tono vagal del infante durante las interacciones diádicas y triádicas. También exploramos si la alianza de familia actuaba como moderadora en la asociación entre la sensibilidad paterna y el tono vagal y si la sensibilidad de ambos progenitores actuaba como moderadora en la asociación entre la alianza de familia y el tono vagal. Este estudio se llevó a cabo en Suiza e incluyó a 82 familias con sus infantes de 3-4 meses de edad. Los resultados muestran que la sensibilidad materna y la alianza de familia estaban asociadas con el tono vagal del infante, pero que la sensibilidad paterna no lo estaba. No encontramos ningún efecto de moderación significativo. Sin embargo, las tendencias del resultado sugieren que la contribución de la sensibilidad paterna a la regulación de la emoción puede ser influida por la alianza de familia, mientras que la sensibilidad materna y la alianza de familia tienen una contribución particularmente única.

Dans cette étude nous nous sommes penchés sur l'influence de la sensibilité paternelle et de l'alliance de la famille sur le tonus vagal des nourrissons, considéré comme étant un indicateur physiologique de la régulation de l'émotion. Les études sur les interactions mère-nourrisson ont montré que le tonus vagal peut être influencé par la qualité de l'interaction, comme l'interaction avec une mère sensible. Jusqu'à présent aucune étude n'a porté sur l'influence de la sensibilité paternelle ou l'alliance familiale sur le tonus vagal des nourrissons. Nous avons fait l'hypothèse que la sensibilité maternelle, la sensibilité paternelle, et l'alliance familiale peuvent être liées au tonus vagal des nourrissons durant les interactions dyadiques et triadiques. Nous avons également exploré si l'alliance familiale pourrait agir comme modératrice sur le lien entre la sensibilité parentale et le tonus vagal et si la sensibilité des deux parents pourrait agir comme modérateur du lien entre l'alliance familiale et le tonus vagal. Cette étude s'est faite en Suisse et a inclus 82 familles avec des bébés de 3-4 mois. Les résultats ont montré que la sensibilité maternelle et l'alliance familiale étaient liées au tonus vagal des bébés mais la sensibilité de l'était pas. Nous n'avons trouvé aucun effet de modération important. Cependant les tendances des résultats ont suggéré que la contribution de la sensibilité paternelle à la régulation de l'émotion des nourrissons pourrait être influencée par l'alliance familiale alors que la sensibilité maternelle et l'alliance familiale a une contribution unique.

[Management from Primary Care of monkeypox infection (MPOX) in humans]. / Manejo desde atención primaria de la infección por la viruela del mono (MPOX) en humanos.

Monkeypox (MPOX) is a viral zoonosis endemic in West or Central African countries that is sporadically exported to another area. In May 2022, a global outbreak of MPOX smallpox began to occur in several countries in Europe and North America. Most of the reported cases are identified at the outpatient level and mainly affect men who have sex with men (MSM). Transmission is by close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory secretions or contaminated material from an infected person or animal. The clinical picture is similar to human smallpox, with less severity. Mild, self-limiting skin involvement predominates after 2-4 weeks. In MSM, atypical skin lesions appear due to the mode of infection. Severe forms or complications may appear in certain risk groups. The case fatality rate is 3%-6% depending on the clade responsible. The diagnosis of suspicion is confirmed by detection of the virus from exudates of lesions or scabs, with nucleic acid amplification techniques by conventional or real-time PCR. Clinical management in most cases is performed in primary care (PC), by monitoring the main symptoms. Between 5-10% require hospital management and there are some specific antiviral treatment options. Human smallpox vaccines protect against MPOX and are used as pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis for persons at risk. Measures to reduce exposure to the virus are the main MPOX prevention strategy. In addition, the role of the family physician is key to controlling the spread of MPOX through active surveillance and early diagnosis of the disease.

[Design and validation of the ACPAPS questionnaire to assess person-centred care by the family doctor]. / Diseño y validación del cuestionario ACPAPS para valorar la atención centrada en la persona por el médico de familia.

OBJECTIVES: Design, construction and validation of a self-completion test that allows the Family Physician (FP) to assess the extent to which he/she integrates person-centred care (PCC) in his/her clinical practice. DESIGN: Qualitative. Questionnaire design. LOCATION: Primary care. PARTICIPANTS: Two hundred and fourteen family and community medicine physicians and residents, from 62 of the 80 health centres in the autonomous community of Murcia (Spain). METHODS: Construction of a questionnaire from a bank of 873 items from a systematic review and a Delphi study. Review by PCC panel of experts (8). Cognitive pretest with 10 FP. Doctors from 62 health centres were invited to participate. With the responses we measured reliability, validity and feasibility. RESULTS: The final questionnaire contains 37 items. We measured reliability through internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of .915. For construct validity, the appropriate Bartlett's test of sphericity and the Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin measure of .889 allowed us to carry out a factor analysis with the extraction of nine factors (Kaiser's rule) with five main factors (Scree test) whose items coincide with the dimensions proposed by the experts. To assess its feasibility we considered the response rate of 31.15%, the response time of 17minutes 23seconds and only .9% of respondents considered the questionnaire long or complex. CONCLUSIONS: The ACPAPS questionnaire is a reliable, valid and feasible tool to assess PCC in FM, which has multiple and far-reaching applications.

Analysis of Undergraduate Dermatology Syllabi at Spanish Universities: Does the Weight of Theoretical Content Match the Skin Conditions Seen in Primary Care and General Dermatology Practices? / Análisis de las características de la docencia de pregrado de Dermatología en las universidades españolas. ¿Los contenidos teóricos se aproximan a la casuística de los médicos de Atención Primaria y dermatólogos generales?

INTRODUCTION: Undergraduate dermatology courses vary in the nearly 50 Spanish medical faculties that teach the subject. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of these courses and to analyze whether the weight assigned to dermatology topics reflect the caseloads of primary care physicians and general dermatologists in the Spanish national health system. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study of syllabi used in Spanish medical faculties during the 2021-2022 academic year. We determined the number of teaching hours in public and private university curricula and compared the weight of dermatology topics covered to the dermatology caseloads of primary care physicians and general dermatologists as reported in published studies. RESULTS: Most medical faculties taught dermatology for one semester. The median number of credits offered was 4.5. On average, lectures covered 24 theoretical topics, and seminars and workshops covered 9 topics. We identified a clear disparity between the percentage of time devoted to dermatology topics in course lectures and the skin conditions usually managed in primary care and general dermatology practices. DISCUSSION: The skin diseases most commonly treated by primary care physicians and general dermatologists are underrepresented in the curricula of Spanish medical faculties. The topics that should be given more weight in syllabi, or recovered for inclusion in dermatology courses, should be re-examined. Our findings show that the topics that ideally should be emphasized more are types of dermatitis, infectious skin diseases, acne, psoriasis, rashes, and the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant neoplasms. There should be additional support for the theoretical teaching of these topics.

The intergenerational relationship between conditional cash transfers and newborn health.

BACKGROUND: Lack of nutrition, inadequate housing, low education and limited access to quality care can negatively affect children's health over their lifetime. Implemented in 2003, the Bolsa Familia ("Family Stipend") Program (PBF) is a conditional cash transfer program targeting poor households in Brazil. This study investigates the long-term benefits of cash transfers through intergenerational transmission of health and poverty by assessing the early life exposure of the mother to the PBF. METHODS: We used data from the 100M SINASC-SIM cohort compiled and managed by the Center for Data and Knowledge Integration for Health (CIDACS), containing information about participation in the PBF and socioeconomic and health indicators. We analyzed five measures of newborn health: low (less than 2,500 g) and very low (less than 1,500 g) birth weight, premature (less than 37 weeks of gestation) and very premature (less than 28 weeks of gestation) birth, and the presence of some type of malformation (according to ICD-10 codes). Furthermore, we measured the early life exposure to the PBF of the mother as PBF coverage in the previous decade in the city where the mother was born. We applied multilevel logistic regression models to assess the associations between birth outcomes and PBF exposures. RESULTS: Results showed that children born in a household where the mother received BF were less likely to have low birth weight (OR 0.93, CI; 0.92-0.94), very low birth weight (0.87, CI; 0.84-0.89), as well as to be born after 37 weeks of gestation (OR 0.98, CI; 0.97-0.99) or 28 weeks of gestation (OR 0.93, CI; 0.88-0.97). There were no significant associations between households where the mother received BF and congenital malformation. On average, the higher the early life exposure to the PBF of the mother, the lower was the prevalence of low birth weight, very low birth weight and congenital malformation of the newborn. No trend was noted for preterm birth. CONCLUSION: The PBF might have indirect intergenerational effects on children's health. These results provide important implications for policymakers who have to decide how to effectively allocate resources to improve child health.

Work-family interface on hazardous alcohol use and increased risk for prescription drug misuse among diverse working parents in STEM.

BACKGROUND: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) industries are competitive and can be stressful work environments leading to an increase in substance misuse. Little is known on the role of work-related risk and protective factors on substance misuse among working parents navigating multiple roles. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to examine work-life balance as a protective factor and various risk factors (emotional exhaustion, work-family, family-work conflicts) for hazardous alcohol use and increased risk for prescription drug misuse among diverse working parents in STEM. METHODS: Participants (n = 1,228) were recruited via Qualtrics from across the US and the sample was racially ethnic and gender (50% men, 50% women) diverse. An overall path analysis was conducted to explore direct and indirect effects of work-life balance on hazardous alcohol use and increased risk for prescription drug misuse. Path analyses explored the racial-ethnic and gender differences across the overall model. RESULTS: Path analysis revealed that healthy work-life balance indirectly predicts decreased hazardous alcohol use (b = -.149, p = .004) and decreased risk for prescription drug misuse (b = -.185, p < .001). Exploration of the model across racial-ethnic and gender groups revealed that higher work-life balance indirectly predicts decreased hazardous alcohol use for Black and Asian Americans, but not for Latinos and Whites; and higher work-life balance indirectly predicts decreased hazardous alcohol use for men, but not women. CONCLUSIONS: Identifying the work-family interface can help providers understand prevention, risk-reduction practices, and interventions for hazardous alcohol use and prescription drug misuse among diverse working parents in STEM.

Building long-term family resilience through universal prevention: 10-year parent and child outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has been highly stressful for parents and children, it is clear that strategies that promote long-term family resilience are needed to protect families in future crises. One such strategy, the Family Foundations program, is focused on promoting supportive coparenting at the transition to parenthood. In a randomized trial, we tested the long-term intervention effects of Family Foundations on parent, child, and family well-being one to two months after the imposition of a national shelter-in-place public health intervention in 2020. We used regression models to test intervention impact on outcomes reported on by parents in a standard questionnaire format and a series of 8 days of daily reports. We also tested moderation of intervention impact by parent depression and coparenting relationship quality. Relative to control families, intervention families demonstrated significantly lower levels of individual and family problems (general parent hostility, harsh and aggressive parenting, coparenting conflict, sibling relationship conflict, and children's negative mood and behavior problems), and higher levels of positive family relationship quality (positive parenting, couple relationship quality, sibling relations, and family cohesion). For some outcomes, including coparenting conflict, harsh parenting, and child behavior problems, intervention effects were larger for more vulnerable families-that is, families with higher pre-pandemic levels of parent depression or lower levels of coparenting relationship quality. We conclude that targeted family prevention programming is able to promote healthy parent and child functioning during unforeseen future periods of acute stress. The long-term benefits of a universal approach to family support at the transition to parenthood indicate the need for greater investment in the dissemination of effective approaches.

Dado que la pandemia de COVID-19 ha sido muy estresante para padres e hijos, está claro que se necesitan estrategias que promuevan la resiliencia familiar a largo plazo para proteger a las familias en crisis futuras. Una de esas estrategias, el programa Family Foundations, se centra en promover la crianza compartida de apoyo en la transición a la paternidad. En un ensayo aleatorizado, probamos los efectos de la intervención a largo plazo de Family Foundations en el bienestar de los padres, el niño y la familia uno o dos meses después de la imposición de una intervención nacional de salud pública de refugio en el lugar en 2020. Usamos modelos de regresión para evaluar el impacto de la intervención en los resultados informados por los padres en un formato de cuestionario estándar y una serie de 8 días de informes diarios. También probamos la moderación del impacto de la intervención por la depresión de los padres y la calidad de la relación de coparentalidad. En relación con las familias de control, las familias de intervención demostraron niveles significativamente más bajos de problemas individuales y familiares (hostilidad general de los padres, crianza dura y agresiva, conflicto de crianza conjunta, conflicto de relaciones entre hermanos y problemas de comportamiento y estado de ánimo negativos de los niños) y niveles más altos de calidad de relación familiar positiva (crianza positiva, calidad de la relación de pareja, relaciones entre hermanos y cohesión familiar). Para algunos resultados, incluido el conflicto de crianza compartida, la crianza severa y los problemas de comportamiento infantil, los efectos de la intervención fueron mayores para las familias más vulnerables, es decir, familias con niveles más altos de depresión de los padres prepandémicos o niveles más bajos de calidad de la relación de crianza compartida. Concluimos que los programas de prevención familiar específicos pueden promover el funcionamiento saludable de padres e hijos durante períodos futuros imprevistos de estrés agudo. Los beneficios a largo plazo de un enfoque universal del apoyo familiar en la transición a la paternidad indican la necesidad de una mayor inversión en la difusión de enfoques eficaces.

Family profiles based on family life satisfaction in dual-earner households with adolescent children in Chile.

Research has stressed the importance of the family domain for the individual's well-being, but the heterogeneity/homogeneity of satisfaction with family life between and within families have not previously assessed. This study identifies family profiles based on the level of family life satisfaction in mother-father-adolescent triads and determines whether profiles differ in terms of the three family members' perceived family support, importance assigned to the family, both parents' work-life balance and mental health, and the household's economic situation. The sample was composed of 303 families of different-sex dual-earner parents with one child aged between 10 and 17 years, from Temuco, Chile. A Latent Profile Analysis was used to identify three profiles: Families with low family satisfaction (17.80%), Families with medium family satisfaction (68.14%), and Families with high family satisfaction (14.06%). Profiles also differed in the three family members' perceived family support and importance assigned to the family, both parents' work-life balance and mental health, and in the household's income. Mothers, fathers, and adolescents in these profiles also differed from one another in these variables. The main variable related to the family members' satisfaction with family life was the parents' mental health problems. Family life satisfaction in dual-earner couples with adolescent children is heterogenous, and these profiles draw attention to indicators of parent-child well-being. Families with lower levels of family satisfaction require particular attention in research and interventions, as these families may report a lower household income, and the parents may experience higher rates of depression, anxiety, and stress, and diverging levels of work-life balance.

Las investigaciones han acentuado la importancia del ámbito familiar para el bienestar de las personas, pero la heterogeneidad/homogeneidad de la satisfacción con la vida familiar entre las familias y dentro de estas no se ha evaluado previamente. En este estudio se reconocen los perfiles familiares basados en el nivel de satisfacción con la vida familiar en triadas madre-padre-adolescente, y se determina si los perfiles difieren desde el punto de vista del apoyo familiar percibido por los tres miembros de la familia, la importancia asignada a la familia, el equilibrio entre el trabajo y la vida, la salud mental de ambos padres, y la situación económica del hogar. La muestra estuvo conformada por 303 familias de padres de distinto sexo que aportaban ingresos con un niño de entre 10 y 17 años de Temuco, Chile. Se usó un análisis de perfiles latentes para identificar tres perfiles: familias con una satisfacción familiar baja (17.80 %), familias con una satisfacción familiar media (68.14 %) y familias con una satisfacción familiar alta (14.06 %). Los perfiles también difirieron en el apoyo familiar percibido por los tres miembros de la familia y la importancia asignada a la familia, el equilibrio entre el trabajo y la vida, la salud mental de ambos padres, y los ingresos del hogar. Las madres, los padres y los adolescentes de estos perfiles también se diferenciaron unos de otros en estas variables. La principal variable relacionada con la satisfacción de los miembros de la familia con la vida familiar fue los problemas de salud mental de los padres. La satisfacción con la vida familiar en las parejas donde tanto el padre como la madre aportan ingresos y tienen hijos adolescentes es heterogénea, y esos perfiles dirigen la atención hacia los indicadores del bienestar de los padres y los hijos. Las familias con niveles bajos de satisfacción familiar necesitan que se les preste particular atención en las investigaciones y en las intervenciones, ya que estas familias pueden informar ingresos más bajos en el hogar y los padres pueden sufrir índices más altos de depresión, ansiedad y estrés, y tener diferentes niveles de equilibrio entre la vida y el trabajo.

Treatment efficacy of multiple family therapy in helping Chinese children of depressed parents in Hong Kong, China.

This article reports results of a study that assessed the efficacy of multiple family therapy (MFT) for helping children of depressed parent(s), using a quasi-randomized controlled trial design. In total, 76 children participated in the study, with 51 children were assigned to the experimental group (EG) and 25 to the comparison group (CG). The EG children and their parents completed the three-month MFT program, while the CG children and their parents attended two psychoeducational talks scheduled at the same time as the MFT. A group × Time repeated measure ANCOVA did not discern the intervention types having any effect on children's lives in the post-treatment phase or at the three-month follow-up. However, the MFT brought some promising positive changes in the EG children's perceived social support, both overall and that from the father and other family members at three-month follow-up; compared to the CG children, the EG children also attached more importance to the support from their mothers in the post-treatment phase and that from other family members at the three-month follow-up. The results implied the potential efficacy of the MFT in facilitating an increase in the overall social support of children of depressed parents and their positive interactions with both the healthy and the depressed parent and other family members. Owing to multiple statistical limitations, caution is required while interpreting the results. A larger sample and a more sophisticated research design were suggested for future studies examining the efficacy and therapeutic mechanism of the MFT.

En este artículo se informan los resultados de un estudio que evaluó la eficacia de la terapia familiar múltiple (TFM) para ayudar a hijos de padres deprimidos usando un diseño de ensayo controlado cuasialeatorizado. En total, participaron 76 niños en el estudio, con 51 niños asignados al grupo experimental y 25 al grupo comparativo. Los niños del grupo experimental y sus padres completaron el programa de TFM de tres meses, mientras que los niños del grupo comparativo y sus padres asistieron a dos charlas psicoeducativas programadas al mismo tiempo que la TFM. Un ANCOVA de medidas estandarizadas de grupo × tiempo no percibió que los tipos de intervención tuvieran ningún efecto en las vidas de los niños en la fase posterior al tratamiento ni tres meses después. Sin embargo, la TFM trajo algunos cambios positivos prometedores en el apoyo social percibido por los niños del grupo experimental, tanto en general como en el padre y otros familiares en el seguimiento de los tres meses. En comparación con los niños del grupo comparativo, los niños del grupo experimental también dieron más importancia al apoyo de sus madres en la fase posterior al tratamiento y al de otros familiares en el seguimiento de los tres meses. Los resultados indicaron la posible eficacia de la TFM a la hora de facilitar un aumento en el apoyo social general de los niños de padres deprimidos y sus interacciones positivas con el padre sano y el padre deprimido y otros familiares. Debido a las múltiples limitaciones estadísticas, es necesario interpretar los resultados con cuidado. Se sugirió una muestra más grande y un diseño de investigación más sofisticado para futuros estudios que analicen la eficacia y el mecanismo terapéutico de la TFM.

At the feet of storytellers: Equity in early relational health conversations.

Early Relational Health (ERH) focuses attention on family-baby relationships during the first 1000 days of life. Positive ERH enhances child health and development and family wellbeing. Universal, early identification of RH and vulnerability could add value to care. How to screen, when, where, and with whom is the question. Tools and models for screening are practitioner-centered. Bias can affect family engagement and outcomes. This may be problematic for African American families. Authors present findings of a discourse analysis and phenomenological study of experiences of African American families' and HealthySteps Specialists' (HSS) of color with screening ERH in Washington, D.C., USA (N = 13). Findings indicate relevance, acceptance and utility may be influenced by positionality, cultural context, issues of equity, and engagement in mutual reflection. A family-centered approach that opened space for non-dominant knowledge about ERH made positive differences in engagement and utility for families and practioners alike. Health and vulnerability were detected reliably using this approach. Outcomes include new theories about ERH-focused visits with African American families and infants, and a new model for centering ERH in pediatric practice, entitled Early Relational Health Conversations. ERH-C is a family reflection model, not necessarily dyadic. It may have value for other populations. Future directions in ERH-C research are suggested.

La Temprana Salud de la Relación (ERH) enfoca su atención en las relaciones entre la familia y el bebé durante los primeros 1000 días de vida. Una positiva ERH mejora la salud y el desarrollo del niño y el bienestar de la familia. Una identificación universal y temprana de RH y la vulnerabilidad pudieran ser valiosas para el cuidado. La pregunta es cómo detectar, cuándo, dónde y con quién. Las herramientas y los modelos para la detección se centran en los profesionales de la práctica. Los prejuicios pueden afectar la participación familiar y los resultados. Esto pudiera ser problemático para familias afroamericanas. Los autores presentan resultados de un análisis discursivo y un estudio fenomenológico de experiencias de las familias afroamericanas y los especialistas de HealthySteps (HSS) de raza negra con respecto a la detección de ERH en Washington, D.C. (N = 13). Los resultados indican relevancia, aceptación y utilidad para las familias afroamericanas y que circunstancias de posición, contexto cultural, asuntos de equidad y participación en reflexión mutua pudieran influir a los HSS. Un acercamiento centrado en la familia que abrió la oportunidad para el conocimiento no dominante acerca de ERH produjo diferencias positivas en la participación y utilidad tanto para las familias como los profesionales de la práctica. La salud y la vulnerabilidad se detectaron confiablemente usando este acercamiento. Los resultados incluyen nuevas teorías sobre los acercamientos a la detección y un nuevo modelo de detección: Las Conversaciones de la Temprana Salud de la Relación (ERH-C). ERH-C es un modelo de reflexión familiar, no necesariamente diádico. El mismo pudiera ser valioso para otros grupos de población. Se aportan futuras directrices en la investigación de ERH-C.

La Santé Relationnelle Précoce (SRP en français) met l'attention sur les relations famille-bébé durant les 1000 premiers jours de la vie. Une SRP positive renforce la santé de l'enfant, le développement, et la santé de la famille. Une identification universelle et précoce de la Santé Relationnelle et de la vulnérabilité pourrait ajouter de la valeur aux soins. La question se pose: comment dépister, quand, où et avec qui. Les outils et les modèles de dépistages sont centrés sur les praticiens. La partialité peut affecter l'engagement de la famille et les résultats. Ceci peut s'avérer problématique pour les familles noires. Les auteurs présentent les résultats d'une analyse de discours et d'une étude phénoménologique des expériences des familles noires et des Spécialistes de Healthy Steps (HSS) racialisés avec le dépistage ERH à Washington DC aux Etats-Unis (N = 13). Les résultats indiquent que la pertinence, l'acceptation et l'utilité peuvent être influencées par la position, le contexte culturel, les problèmes d'équité et l'engagement dans une réflexion mutuelle. Une approche centrée sur la famille qui a ouvert un espace pour des connaissances non-dominantes à propos de la SRP a fait une différence positive dans l'engagement et l'utilité pour les familles ainsi que pour les praticiens. La santé et la vulnérabilité ont été détectés avec fiabilité en utilisant cette approche. Les résultats incluent de nouvelles théories sur les visites centrées sur la SRP avec des familles noires et leurs nourrissons, et un nouveau modèle de centrage de la SRP dans la pratique pédiatrique, appelée Conversations sur la Santé Relationnelle Précoce. La C-SRP est un modèle de réflexion familiale, pas nécessairement dyadique. Ce modèle peut avoir une valeur pour d'autres populations. Des directions futures pour des recherches sur la C-SRP sont suggérées.

Transitioning to virtual interaction during the COVID-19 pandemic: Impact on the family connects postpartum home visiting program activity.

In this paper, we analyze program activity for Family Connects (FC), an evidence-based postpartum home-visiting intervention, during the COVID-19 pandemic. When the pandemic began, FC transitioned to a virtual protocol which maintains key psychosocial components of the in-person protocol and adjusts health assessments to address the lack of in-person contact. Program performance is contrasted for periods before the pandemic onset (April 2019-March 2020) and after the onset (April 2020-March 2021), involving 10,280 scheduled visits and 6696 visited families (46% non-Hispanic white; 20% non-Hispanic Black; 23% Hispanic; and 10% other race). Post-pandemic onset, FC program participation rates were at 89.8% of pre-pandemic levels. Home visitors observed post-onset increases in families' concerns about home safety but declines in families' needs related to infant care. Community connections were facilitated for 42.9% of visited families post-pandemic onset compared to 51.1% pre-pandemic onset. We conclude that post-pandemic onset virtual delivery rates of FC declined but are high enough to merit continued implementation during a period when some families will decline in-person visits. When in-person visits are deemed safe per public health guidelines, the findings suggest a hybrid approach that could maximize program outreach by prioritizing in-person contact and offering virtual delivery as a second choice.

En este ensayo, analizamos la actividad de programación de Conexión de Familia (FC), una intervención de visitas a casa posteriores al parto con base en la evidencia, durante la pandemia COVID-19. Cuando comenzó la pandemia, FC pasó a un protocolo virtual el cual mantiene componentes sicosociales claves del protocolo presencial y ajusta las evaluaciones de salud para considerar la falta de contacto personal. La actuación del programa se contrasta por períodos antes del comienzo de la pandemia (abril 2019 - marzo 2020) y después del comienzo (abril 2020 - marzo 2021), lo cual involucra 10,280 visitas y 6,696 familias visitadas (46% blancas no hispanas, 20% negras no hispanas, 23% hispanas, 10% de otras razas). Al comienzo de la postpandemia, el nivel de participación en el programa FC estaba al 89.8% del nivel de prepandemia. Los visitantes a casa observaron aumentos posteriores al comienzo en preocupaciones de las familias sobre la seguridad del hogar, pero bajas en necesidades familiares relacionadas con el cuidado de los infantes. Las conexiones comunitarias se facilitaron para el 42.9% de las familias visitadas después del comienzo de la pandemia, comparadas con el 51.1% antes del comienzo de la pandemia. En resumen, la actividad de programación de FC declinó después del comienzo de la pandemia, pero se mantuvo suficientemente alta como para ameritar la continuación de la implementación durante un período cuando algunas familias rechazaron las visitas en persona. Cuando las visitas en persona se estiman seguras según las directrices de salud pública, los resultados indican que un acercamiento híbrido pudiera conducir al máximo el alcance del programa por medio de darle prioridad al contacto en persona y ofrecer el servicio virtual como segunda opción.

Dans cet article nous analysons l'activité de programme pour une Family Connects (FC), une intervention postpartum à domicile fondée sur des données probantes, durant la pandémie du COVID-19. Lorsque la pandémie a commencé la FC a transitionné à protocole virtuel qui maintient les composantes psychosociales clé du protocole en personne et ajusté les évaluations de santé afin de répondre au manque de contact en personne. La performance du programme est comparée pour des périodes avant le début de la pandémie (avril 2019-mars 2020) et après le début de la pandémie (avril 2020-mars 2021), comprenant 10280 visites programmées et 6696 familles visitées (46% de blancs n'étant pas hispaniques, 20% de noirs n'étant pas hispaniques, 23% d'hispaniques et 10% d'autres races). Les taux de participation au programme FC, après le début de la pandémie, étaient à 89,8% des niveaux avant pandémie. Les visiteurs à domicile ont observé des augmentations des inquiétudes des familles à propos de la sécurité à la maison après le début de la pandémie mais des déclins dans les besoins familiaux liés au soin du nourrisson. Les liens avec la communauté ont été facilités pour 42,9% des familles visitées après le début de la pandémie, comparé à 51,1% avant le début de la pandémie. Pour conclure, l'activité de programme du FC a décliné après le début de la pandémie mais est restée suffisamment élevée pour mériter une exécution continue durant une période où certaines familles ont décliné les visites à domicile. Quand les visites à domicile ont été estimées sûres suivant les directives de santé publique les résultats suggèrent qu'une approche hybride pourrait maximiser la sensibilisation au programme en privilégiant le contact en personne et en offrant une prestation virtuelle comme second choix.

At the feet of storytellers: Implications for practicing early relational health conversations.

A family- and culturally-centered approach to conversations about early relational health (ERH) can open up opportunities for universal family engagement. The appraisal of family-baby relational health is more trustworthy and useful when there is attunement to family voice and facilitator bias. Early Relational Health Conversations (ERH-C) is a model for ERH promotion and intervention. This model has eight components: preparing and entering the ERH-C space, accessing strength and knowledge in a healing-centered space, pausing and co-creating, storytelling, witnessing, mutual reflection, affirming, and claiming their relationship narrative, and mutual insight. It is a paradigm shift in working with African American families and possibly other historically marginalized families who are also impacted by structural racism. The eight components are explained, and examples are given from the perspective of an Africentric worldview. The importance of cultural humility, attuning to and honoring family culture is emphasized. Insights for implementation in primary care and other settings are provided. Healing-centered engagement practices embedded in ERH-C have the potential to move ERH work into the social justice arena. The ERH-C is a family reflection model. Ideas for future directions for ERH-C are discussed.

Un acercamiento a conversaciones sobre la salud de la temprana relación (ERH) con base en la familia y en el medio cultural puede abrir oportunidades para la participación familiar universal. La evaluación de la salud de la relación familia-bebé es más confiable y útil cuando hay un ajuste a la voz de la familia y a los prejuicios del mediador. Las Conversaciones de la Salud de la Temprana Relación (ERH-C) es un modelo para la promoción e intervención ERH. Este modelo tiene ocho componentes: preparar y entrar en el espacio de ERH-C, evaluar la fortaleza y el conocimiento en un espacio centrado en la sanación, detenerse y co-crear, contar historias, ser testigo, reflexión mutua, afirmar y reclamar la narrativa de su relación, mutuo aporte de ideas. Se trata de un cambio de paradigma cuando se trabaja con familias afroamericanas y posiblemente con otras familias históricamente marginalizadas que también reciben el impacto del racismo estructural. Se explican los ocho componentes y se dan ejemplos desde la perspectiva de una vista mundial afro-céntrica. Se enfatiza la importancia de la humildad cultural, estar en sintonía con y honrar la cultura familiar. Se aportan ideas para la implementación en el cuidado primario y otros escenarios. Las prácticas de participación centradas en la sanación que son parte de ERH-C tienen la posibilidad de incorporar ERH dentro del campo de la justicia social. ERH-C es un modelo de reflexión de familia. Se discuten ideas para directrices futuras de ERH-C.

Une approche aux conversations sur la Santé Relationnelle Précoce (SRP), centrée sur la famille et la culture, peut ouvrir de nouvelles portes pour l'engagement de la famille universel. L'appréciation de la santé relationnelle famille-bébé est plus digne de confiance et utile que lorsqu'il y a une harmonisation avec la voix de la famille et une partialité de la part du facilitateur. Les Conversations sur la Santé Relationnelle Précoce (C-SRP) est un modèle de promotion de ls SRP et d'intervention. Ce modèle comprend huit aspects: la préparation et l'entrée de l'espace C-SRP, l'accès aux forces et aux connaissances dans un espace centré sur la guérison, faire une pause et créer ensemble, la narration, le témoignage, la réflexion mutuelle, l'affirmation de la narration de la relation et sa revendication, et la perspicacité mutuelle. Ce modèle présente un changement de paradigme dans le travail avec les familles noires américaines et peut-être également d'autres familles marginalisées qui sont aussi impactées par le racisme structurel. Les huit composantes sont expliquées et des exemples sont données de la perspective d'une vision du monde africentrique. L'importance de l'humilité culturelle, d'être à l'écoute de la culture de la famille et d'honorer la culture familiale est également soulignée. Des idées pour la mise en pratique au sein des soins primaires et d'autres contextes sont offertes. Des pratiques d'engagement centrées sur la guérison encastrées dans la C-SRP peuvent faire progresser le travail de SRP vers le domaine de la justice sociale. La C-SRP est un modèle de réflexion de la famille. Des idées de directions futures pour la C-SRP sont discutées.

Transitions to virtual early childhood home visitation during COVID-19.

COVID-19 has disrupted many of the preventive service sectors designed to promote infant mental health. The purpose of this study is to examine provider and supervisor transition strategies as well as maternal-child outcomes during the transition from in-person to virtual early childhood home visitation services in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County is one of the largest home visitation sectors in the U.S. and disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Transitioning from in-person to virtual home visitation was an important step in ensuring the continuity of infant mental health services. Home visitors reported relative ease in transitioning to virtual services themselves but noted that families encountered greater difficulty. The most helpful strategies to support this transition included training, ongoing reflective supervision, and provision of technology. Family level analysis revealed that positive screening rates for anxiety and depression decreased during the pandemic as did referrals for most support services. These findings likely highlight challenges in delivering virtual home visitation. Understanding how transitions in a key infant serving sector were managed serves an important role in forecasting for the future and preparing for future public heath emergencies.

El COVID-19 ha interrumpido muchos de los sectores de servicios preventivos diseñados para promover la salud mental infantil. El propósito de este estudio es examinar las estrategias de transición del proveedor y del supervisor, así como también los resultados materno-infantiles durante la transición de los servicios de visitas en la temprana niñez a casa, presenciales a virtuales, en el Condado Los Ángeles. El Condado Los Ángeles es uno de los más grandes sectores de visitas a casa en los Estados Unidos y desproporcionalmente afectado por la pandemia del COVID-19. La transición de las visitas a casa presenciales a virtuales fue un importante paso para asegurar la continuidad de los servicios de salud mental infantil. Los visitadores a casa reportaron una facilidad relativa en el proceso de transición a los servicios virtuales para sí mismos, pero notaron que las familias encontraron mayor dificultad. Entre las estrategias que más ayudaron a apoyar esta transición se incluyen el entrenamiento, la continuada supervisión con reflexión y el suministro de tecnología. Los análisis del nivel familiar revelaron que los positivos puntajes de detección de la ansiedad y depresión disminuyeron durante la pandemia como también sucedió con las referencias a la mayoría de los servicios de apoyo. Estos resultados subrayan probablemente los retos de ofrecer las visitas virtuales a casa. Comprender cómo las transiciones en un sector clave de servicios a infantes se manejaron sirve como un importante papel para pronosticar el futuro y prepararse para las futuras emergencias en el campo de la salud pública.

Le COVID-19 a perturbé bien des secteurs de service de prévention conçus pour promouvoir la santé mentale du nourrisson. Le but de cette étude est d'examiner les stratégies de transition du prestataire et du superviseur durant la transition de services de visite à domicile de la petite enfance en personne à virtuels dans le Comté de Los Angeles aux Etats-Unis. Le Comté de la ville de Los Angeles est l'un des plus grands secteurs de visites à domicile aux Etats-Unis et disproportionnellement impacté par la pandémie du COVID-19. La transition d'une visite à domicile en personne à une visite virtuelle a été un pas important pour s'assurer de la continuité des services de santé mentale du nourrisson. Les visiteurs à domicile ont fait état d'une facilité relative dans la transition aux services virtuels en eux-mêmes mais ont noté que les familles faisaient face à une difficulté plus grande. Les stratégies les plus utiles pour soutenir cette transition ont inclus la formation, la réflexion continue de la supervision et l'aide de la technologie. Les analyses au niveau familial ont révélé que des taux de dépistage positifs pour l'anxiété et la dépression ont baissé durant la pandémie comme l'ont fait les références pour la plupart des services de soutien. Ces résultats mettent en lumière les défis rencontrés par la visite virtuelle à domicile. Comprendre comment, dans un secteur clé de service au nourrisson, les transitions sont gérées sert un rôle important pour prévoir le futur et se préparer à des urgences de santé publique dans le futur.
