Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the second most common chronic disease in childhood. Diabetes care is multidimensional and should focus on preventing acute complications and reducing long-term consequences. A family-centered approach conserves the integrity of families and supports unique care for diabetic children. Purpose. The study aimed to determine the effect of a family-centered program on the management of blood glucose levels in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus at Tabuk. Methods. The researcher employed a quasi-experimental design to conduct this study. A purposive sample of diabetic children and their families was included. Tools included a structured questionnaire (sociodemographic data, anthropometric measurements), Supervisory Behaviors of Caregivers, Management Behaviors of Children with DM questionnaires, a Self-efficacy Scale, and a Blood Glucose Levels Record Sheet. The study was conducted in three phases: preparatory, performance, and evaluation. Pre-test and post-test methods were utilized for data collection. Results. There was a significant decrease in the mean scores of blood glucose levels, significant improvement in children’s management behavior for diabetic care, improvement in mothers’ supervisory behavior of management behavior for DM, and higher mean scores of mothers’ self-efficacy post compared to pre-family centered program. Conclusion. Implementing the family-centered program improved children’s diabetic management behavior and hence controlling the blood glucose levels of children with diabetes mellitus and increased mothers’ self-efficacy. Recommendation. Transformation of diabetic management in children with DM to a fully family-centered system of care should be established.","PeriodicalId":39576,"journal":{"name":"Fizjoterapia Polska","volume":"69 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139130699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An experimental study was done on 20 patients that were found for the study (these were the only available cases with phantom lower limb pain), was divided into: Group (A) conventional rehabilitation, Group (B) MT, 10 patients were selected randomly in each group. Questioner with sixteen close end questions was distributed to the patients of the two groups for post rehabilitation assessment to reassess the effect of each treatment for post amputated phantom lower limp pain. Results. There were 50% of the participants were above 60 years old and 60% of participants had Trans – Femoral amputation. Diabetic was the major cause of Amputation (55%).

The government has issued a policy of adopting a new custom order to suppress the transmission of Covid-19 and continue to move people’s habits. Universities as educational centers have interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary roles and contributions through health promotion research and outreach activities by taking a role in overcoming the Covid-19 pandemic. Universities have an innovative role in preparing for the Covid-19 endemic through their work in education, research, and counseling. With the pandemic and post-Covid-19 preparations, universities are intensifying support in terms of providing health services for the academic community, one of which is sustainable health promotion services. Health promotion on campus after the Covid-19 pandemic can be done by adopting general health promotion strategies, including 1) cross-sectoral coordination, 2) importance and sustainability, 3) empowerment and involvement of the academic community, and 4) equity. Mental health for students and teachers after online teaching is very important. Social media has great potential to promote health and other health interventions as it overcomes some of the limitations of traditional health communication by increasing accessibility, interaction, engagement, empowerment, and adaptation. Health promotion in universities by utilizing social media has several advantages, namely accessibility, convenience, low cost, interaction with end-users, flexibility, status, and visibility. With the good momentum of social media engagement coupled with the new need to focus on health promotion, offering digital media-based online health promotion services is one of the possible actions.

Reactive agility is needed in all sports because it can help the body move backward, sideway steps, and forward quickly during practice or competition. Therefore a particular test instrument is required. Valid and reliable test instruments are needed to determine a table tennis athlete’s level and level of reactive agility. The results of previous studies showed Aiken’s V coefficient value above 0.76, while Cronbach’s Alpha and ICC are 0.875. Based on previous research, it was found that the results of the reactive agility test have content validity with Aiken’s quite good. However, a Test-retest reliability test is needed to strengthen the instrument. This study aims to assess the reliability of the product moment instrument reactive test agility of table tennis.

The results showed that the product-moment correlation value was 0.956. based on the norms of reliability coefficients, the reactive agility test instruments specifically for table tennis have high scores or excellent categories.

As a result, they are unable to write, tie shoelaces, or participate in sports, affecting their social interactions and quality of life.

Among 99 children with DCD, a six-week intervention was performed in both control and intervention groups. In addition to the DCD-Q questionnaire, parents completed a fine motor/handwriting and gross motor control questionnaire. An ANOVA test was used to analyze all values as mean ± SD. The results showed that both groups improved in motor coordination and control. DCD-related motor difficulties can be addressed more effectively with early intervention in all three domains, especially fine motor control.

The benefits attributed to running include: improving mental and physical health, weight control, as well as reducing stress. However, the occurrence of injuries in this sport is common and carries consequences that can permanently affect the body. Nowadays, modern methods are being analyzed to counteract incorrect training loads, which are assessed on the basis of the multifactorial risk of their formation. In addition, an important aspect that allows for a faster, post-injury return to efficient running is the use of a properly selected rehabilitation protocol. Purpose of research. The main aim of the study was to determine the risk factors and frequency of the most common injuries among amateur runners. Material and methods. The study group consisted of 100 adults living in the Mazowieckie Voivodeship, randomly selected (38 women and 62 men). The method of diagnostic survey was used in the work. The research tool was an original questionnaire examining the occurrence, types and locations of injuries in recreational runners. Results. A statistically significant correlation was found between the body weight of an amateur runner and the frequency of injury (p < 0.001). At the same time, there was a significant relationship between the warm-up performed before training and the occurrence of injury (p < 0.001). Noticeable effects of physiotherapy were demonstrated (p = 0.016). It was concluded that the preventive use of physiotherapy influenced (p = 0.038) the prevention of recurrent injuries. Conclusions. Excessive body weight in respondents was associated with a higher risk of injury compared to people with appropriate body weight in the study group.
