Adaptive behavior (AB) concerns skills that enable individuals to be independent. It may be affected by different diagnoses, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This study's objective was to investigate AB differences between children and adolescents aged 4 to 21 with ASD only, ASD with other health conditions, and those with typical development and to verify the effects of sociodemographic variables on AB outcomes among individuals with ASD. The sample comprised the caregivers of 309 children and adolescents aged 4 to 21 assigned to a non-clinical group (n = 181) and two clinical subgroups: one for ASD only (n = 47) a nd t he o ther f or A SD w ith c omorbidities (n = 81). ANOVA and T-tests were performed, followed by a bootstrap process to ensure the normality and homogeneity of results. Significant deficits were found in the individuals diagnosed with ASD in all three domains of AB. A significant difference was found in the practical domain between the clinical subgroups. The respondents' educational level and the type of school children and adolescents attended affected the conceptual domain. Sex, on the other hand, only showed an effect in the practical domain. The conclusion is that individuals with ASD present differences in the three domains of adaptive behavior, and sociodemographic characteristics also play a role. However, further studies considering other variables that may influence the findings are needed, to ensure greater reliability of the results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mental health is one of the current pillars of global health; therefore, it is considered an essential factor in the wellbeing and quality of human life. The dramatic growth in the incidence and prevalence of mental disorders has brought about a burden of silent and unsustainable disease for healthcare systems, especially in younger age groups such as children and adolescents. Although major depressive disorder, anxious syndrome, and conduct and eating disorders are some of the most frequent in this age group, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is also an entity of interest affecting between 5% and 10% of children. There exists a pharmacological treatment for this condition, and it is based on stimulant and nonstimulant medications. Evidence of the highest quality has recently demonstrated that children and adolescents who were administered ADHD medications had a higher risk of some cardiovascular event compared to those who were not. Considering the impact and relevance of ADHD in the child and adolescent populations at present, as well as the use of drugs for its control, it is imperative to have evidence of the highest quality for decision-making in clinical practice. To date, there is no evidence in Spanish that has synthesized and analyzed this phenomenon. Based on the foregoing, the objective of this review is to analyze the most recent evidence of the association between cardiovascular risk and pharmacotherapy in pediatric patients with ADHD. A literature search was conducted using the search terms "Cardiovascular Risk," "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder," and "Pediatrics," in addition to synonyms, which were combined with the operators "AND" and "OR," in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and MEDLINE databases. After reviewing the most recent literature, it was identified that the quality of the current evidence regarding the association between increased cardiovascular risk secondary to pharmacotherapy in children and adolescents with ADHD is very low, heterogeneous, and fragmented. Nevertheless, the trend suggests that there may be a potential risk of the alteration of hemodynamic parameters, essentially heart rate and blood pressure, without involving the frequent or significant occurrence of serious cardiovascular adverse events. However, the evidence suggests continuous monitoring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this research is to analyze how public policies in Brazil are interconnected to prevent and eradicate child labor. It seeks to understand the legal protection against the exploitation of child labor, explore the Program for the Eradication of Child Labor and the National Policy related to it, and examine the responsibilities of the entities of the Rights Guarantee System in combating this issue. The central question of the research is: how does intersectoral coordination of public policies for this purpose occur in Brazil? The initial hypothesis suggests that there is a shared responsibility between the bodies of the Rights Guarantee System, organized through care, protection and justice policies, enabling joint and networked action through the National Plan and the Child Labour Eradication Programme, aimed at combating the causes and effects of child labour exploitation. The method used was deductive and monographic, using documentary and bibliographic research techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Foundation: bronchial asthma is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in childhood. The guidelines for diagnosis and treatment are governed by severity, level of control and quality of life, however, there is no evidence that demonstrates its statistical association. Objective: to measure the association degree between the severity of bronchial asthma, control level and quality of life in children. Methods: cross-sectional study, carried out from January to December 2022, in a sample of 189 patients with a bronchial asthma confirmed diagnosis. The analyzed variables were: age, sex, severity, level of control and quality of life. Statisticians, absolute frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean and standard deviation were calculated. The Chi-square test (p<0.01) was used to measure association and the V-Cramer coefficient was used to evaluate the strength of the association. Results: the mean age was 9.17 years (SD ± 0.67). Males predominated, representing 53.54%. Intermittent asthma (39.15%), partial control level (59.79%) and high quality of life (50.26%) prevailed. When relating severity with level of control, the association statistician indicated X2=190.461 (VC= 0.662); in the case of severity and quality of life, X2=252.673 (VC=0.762); and between level of control and quality of life, X2=66.733 (VC=0.401). Conclusions: there was a strong association between severity of bronchial asthma-level of control and between severity of asthma-quality of life; as well as a moderate association between level of control-quality of life.

Introduction: The suicide attempt in children and young populations is a serious health problem in Cuba and the world. Objective: To characterize sociodemographic and epidemiologically the patients aged 6 and 18 with suicide attempt. Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study of 145 children and adolescents was carried out, who were admitted to Dr. Antonio María Beguez César Southern Children Teaching Hospital in Santiago de Cuba due to suicide attempt, during 2018. Each patient's individual medical records constituted the source of information and demographic and epidemiologic variables were selected. Results: The females showed the highest risk of suicide attempt (27.9 for each 10 000); likewise, the 15 to 18 age group (64.8%) and the psychoactive drug ingestion (84.1%) as a method to try to kill oneself, because it was easily accessible, prevailed. Family conflicts (60.6%) and the lack of family support (46.2%) were notable among the main factors associated with suicidal behavior. Conclusions: Children and adolescents in this series came from families with conflicts and domestic violence, which, along with the lack of the family support, identified in their environment, could have influenced the suicide attempt.

Background: Technology-dependent children and adolescents are recurrently admitted to intensive care units. These admissions prompt the need for follow-up care to maintain these children's and adolescents' health. Objective: To identify the demographic and clinical profile of technology-dependent children and adolescents at the time of hospital discharge from a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Methodology: This is a quantitative, documentary, and retrospective study based on medical records of technology-dependent children/adolescents admitted to the PICU of a teaching hospital in southern Brazil. Results: The study observed a predominance of white male children up to one year of age coming from the pediatric emergency room, with a history of conditions originating from the perinatal period, the use of long-term medication, and the prevalence of diseases of the respiratory system and congenital malformations. Conclusion: This group represents a challenge for healthcare services. In addition to the current diagnosis, past complications can affect the prognosis. Implementing care action plans that consider the needs of children/adolescents and their families is recommended to ensure comprehensive care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to map mental health care for children and adolescents, its flows, lines and connections based on the articulation of the Psychosocial Care Centers for Children and Adolescents (Centros de Atenção Psicossocial Infantojuvenil, CAPSi) and Primary Health Care (PHC). Method: a qualitative and cartographic research study conducted between August and December 2017 in a municipality from Rio Grande do Sul. The study participants were CAPSi and PHC professionals. Results: the cartographic experience with the rhizomatic network made it possible to monitor CAPSi's articulation with PHC services; planning and sharing care according to workers' collective action, and also the "knots" and challenges of the child and youth mental health network. Insecurity to deal with the demand, lack of knowledge and the need for training as a support modality are challenges mentioned by PHC professionals for networked assistance. Conclusion: care-related arrangements can articulate/share the assistance provided, evoking a "rhizomatic network" of connections, flows and varied lines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to identify the social and clinical profile of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Method: quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive research, developed with 81 guardians of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus between March and September/2021, in two reference centers in Paraíba. The descriptive analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Science software, version 18. Results: predominantly, the companions of the children and adolescents were the mothers themselves, 90.1%, and about 40% lived with family income lower than a minimum wage. Among the children and adolescents, 54% had high glycated hemoglobin values, even though they were undergoing treatment; 65.4% indicated ignorance of the correct form of insulin storage, and 77.6% had lipohypertrophy. Conclusion: socioeconomic vulnerability and ineffective clinical management of type 1 diabetes mellitus in children and adolescents were predominant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. This study aimed to describe and critically evaluate the COVID-19 vaccination program for high-risk children in Curacao and provide information about important factors such as parents' vaccination hesitancy and effective strategies for communicating and delivering information about vaccination. Methods. This was a cross-sectional study. It was important to identify children aged 12--17 years who were at high risk of severe COVID-19 infection because of the limited medical facilities on the island; children considered to be at high risk were those with diseases such as obesity, hypertension or diabetes mellitus type 2. These children or their caregivers were invited by their pediatricians to be vaccinated as part of a program run by the Public Health Department of Curacao. These high-risk patients were vaccinated between 30 May 2021 and 25 February 2022 in designated child-friendly spaces, with a pediatrician present for guidance and reassurance. Children received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at the recommended dose for their age. The primary outcome was a description and evaluation of the attendance for vaccination. The secondary outcomes were side effects after vaccination for the age groups 12--15 years and 16--17 years. Reasons for refusal or nonadherence were also registered. Results. Altogether 51% (24/47) of those aged 16--17 years who were invited were vaccinated compared with 42% (26/69) of those aged 12--15 years who were invited. Altogether, 46% of these high-risk children were vaccinated compared with 48% of children aged 12--17 years without risk factors. In our population, most patients did not experience any side effects and if they did, the side effects were mild. No cases of myocarditis or pericarditis were observed. A lack of trust in the vaccine and a lack of prioritization of vaccination when scheduling daily activities were important factors in refusal and nonadherence. Conclusions. To organize a successful vaccination program in a small community with limited resources for treating high-risk children it is crucial for medical professionals to provide reliable information. Public health initiatives should focus on assuaging parents' fears about vaccines. In addition, ensuring there is good cooperation between doctors and the Public Health Department can help to make implementation successful. Finally, involving pediatricians and using dedicated areas for vaccinating children can help build trust with parents and caregivers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to describe the therapeutic itinerary of children/adolescents with cancer and their families. Method: qualitative descriptive study carried out with 11 mothers and one grandmother of children/adolescents undergoing cancer treatment, guided by the theoretical framework of the Health Care Systems Model. Data were collected from March to September 2019, through semi-structured and audio-recorded interviews, submitted to Morse and Field content analysis. Results: for the family, the path taken throughout the process of searching for diagnosis and cure was characterized by suffering and ambiguous feelings. Throughout the therapeutic itinerary, each family established their way of acting, perceiving, communicating, relating and making decisions. Final considerations: knowing the therapeutic itinerary of families of children/adolescents with cancer can guide assertive nursing interventions and support the development of strategies that improve the early diagnosis of the disease, favoring a better prognosis.

Background: the mouth breather syndrome is more common than it seems; most people suffer from it, but affects frequently children and adolescents. Objective: to determine the information about mouth breathing in children and adolescents' mothers. Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out during from January the 1st, 2022 to March the 31st, 2022, in the El Prado neighborhood, Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas, Ecuador. Non-probabilistic sampling was used taking into account the inclusion criteria: being mothers of children between 5 and 14 years of age and agreeing to participate in the research. The sample was made up of 21 mothers. The data was collected through a survey. The variables were: knowledge about mouth breathing and the child's permanence with the mouth open during the day. Results: 67% of the mothers surveyed answered that they had no knowledge about mouth breathing or about the health disorders that it could cause to their children. 81% of children do not remain with their mouths open during the day. Conclusions: research on this topic is important because the earlier this disease is diagnosed, the easier it will be to correct. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: To map and examine the scientific evidence concerning the effects of cancer treatment on the comfort of children and adolescents with cancer. Materials and Methods: This scoping review was carried out in the following electronic information resources: BVS, PubMed, Cinahl, SciVerse Scopus, Lilacs, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Two independent reviewers analyzed the studies' relevance. Results: The search yielded 4,295 publications, of which 20 comprised the final sample. Following evidence mapping, the effects (20; 100 %) on comfort were found, and the most prevalent were pain (12; 60 %), fear (9; 45 %), nausea (5; 25 %), difficulty eating (4; 20 %), and distress (4; 20 %). Regarding the oncologic treatment modality, antineoplastic therapy prevailed in 11 (55 %) of the selected articles. Conclusions: Cancer treatment affects the comfort of children and adolescents with cancer, causing suffering and changing their well-being. It indicates the need to evaluate its impact and take nursing care measures to reduce complications and improve these patients' adaptation to treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
