Many children experience psychosocial difficulties after medical events. The sample consisted of 399 children aged 4 to 15 who had been hospitalized for physical illness or injury. Elevated psychological symptomatology (PTSS, depression, anxiety) was more frequent after multiple (type II) compared to single (type I) medical events, but only a few differences were statistically significant. The strongest risk factor of child PTSS was parental stress. Type II trauma and low parental education were significant risk factors only for parent report of child PTSS (not for child report). The analyzed risk factors did not differ for type I versus II trauma. We recommend standardized screening and monitoring for mental health in the standard pediatric health care. Furthermore, pediatricians should be trained in signaling stress signs of parents.","PeriodicalId":46607,"journal":{"name":"Childrens Health Care","volume":"50 1","pages":"278 - 292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02739615.2021.1890077","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43048029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is no evidence of how self-esteem influences the levels of internalized stigma among parents of children with ADHD in Turkey. This study investigated for the first time the relationship between internalized stigma and self-esteem of mothers of children with ADHD and examined the relationship between mothers’ internalized stigma and ADHD severity of children. The sample included mothers of 86 children (65 boys and 21 girls) diagnosed with ADHD. Age of children was between 6 and 17 years old (M = 11.05, SD = 2.62). Participants completed the Conners’ Parent Rating Scale–Revised Short Form, the Clinical Global Impression, the Parents’ Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The results showed that mothers with higher education level reported lower internalized stigma, while ADHD severity of children was positively correlated with mothers’ internalized stigma level. The results also indicated that children with ADHD severity predicted a significant amount of variance in stigma. Furthermore, self-esteem uniquely predicted mother’s internalized stigma over and above the mother’s education level and ADHD severity of children. The results suggest the importance of self-esteem on internalized stigma and contribute to development of interventions focusing on the role of self-esteem on parents’ internalized stigma.","PeriodicalId":46607,"journal":{"name":"Childrens Health Care","volume":"50 1","pages":"312 - 324"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02739615.2021.1891071","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42485787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants included eight children (4 females) with a mean age of 9.63 years, who consumed nothing to minimal intake orally. A medical workup and appropriate interventions were completed prior to behavioral treatment. Participants completed outpatient behavioral feeding treatment with one requiring intensive outpatient therapy. Three of eight participants started an anti-anxiolytic medication due to significant anxiety. There was a statistically significant increase in food consumption (t = -4.275, p = .004) and weight pre- to post-treatment (t = -4.004, p = .005). The present study is a preliminary investigation supporting the use of a brief multidisciplinary treatment for children with phagophobia so they can resume an age-appropriate diet again.
