Growing up in El Escobal, indigenus community, with her sister, she experienced the spiritual strength and unity that their culture attributes to twins. For her, health was deeply intertwined with the traditions and rituals of her people, emphasising the healing powers of plants and spiritual harmonisation. She observed a stark contrast between indigenous and Western perspectives on medicine and spirituality. In her reflection, the young girl highlighted the universal language of mutual learning and support that transcends cultural differences. Her message underscores the importance of cultural harmony and the healing power of shared human experiences, advocating for a world where diverse beliefs and practices contribute to collective strength and understanding. This text was her response to the question, \"What is health?\" as part of one of the methodological exercises in the doctoral research of Pinzón-Segura MC. Teoría del Intersticio Afectivo: Un nuevo enfoque feminista decolonial de análisis de políticas públicas [Internet]. Bogotá: Repositorio virtual de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia; 2024. The thesis, awarded with the distinction of summa cum laude, included various methods such as participant observation, sociological interviews, and discourse analysis of government documents. The question \"What is health?\" specifically guided 40 creative narrative workshops, which were an integral component of the ethnography and arts-based research design.","PeriodicalId":9069,"journal":{"name":"BMJ Paediatrics Open","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142255455","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}

Yet, shockingly, this year’s United Nations (UN) Report on Children and Armed Conflict decries the ‘… complete disregard for child rights, notably the inherent right to life’ in today’s escalating armed conflicts.1 According to the UN, in 2023 a total of 32 990 grave violations were verified against 22 557 children. The number of children killed (5301) and maimed (6348) increased overall by a staggering 35% as compared with 2022, and, in Israel and Palestinian territories by 155%, Sudan 480% and Myanmar 123%. Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia, Syria, Ukraine and other regions have also been affected.1 Verification of Palestinian children killed is ongoing. In most modern conflicts, 90% of casualties are civilians, including children. Through direct harm, destruction of infrastructure, blockades, sanctions, and repeated dislocations—armed conflicts cause physical, mental, developmental and behavioural trauma to children that often affect them long after cessation of hostilities.1–4 An estimated 3.2 million children under 5 years of age died in armed conflicts between 2000 and 2019.2 Why do international laws, conventions and statutes provide insufficient protection to children, and can this be improved? In 2002 the Rome Statute established the International Criminal Court to complement national courts in litigating individuals that commit grave crimes, such as Crimes of Genocide, defined as acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. War crimes are also included and are defined as severe breaches of the Geneva Conventions.

Termination of pregnancy (TOP) was offered in case antenatally severe CMV-related fetopathy was documented either by ultrasound or by MRI.

Finding effective strategies to manage pain and fear associated with venipuncture is crucial for improving the paediatric patient experience and promoting positive health outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a combined approach using a topical analgesic cream (TKTX cream) and a distraction technique (Trace Image and Colouring for Kids-Book, TICK-B) in reducing pain intensity and fear levels in children undergoing venipuncture procedures. Methods We conducted this randomised controlled trial among 176 children aged 6–12 years undergoing venipuncture. Participants were randomly assigned to four groups: TICK-B, TKTX cream, TICK-B+TKTX cream and a control group. Pain and fear were measured using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale and Children’s Fear Scale. The study was carried out from 20 February 2024 to 1 June 2024 at the emergency unit of Heevi paediatric teaching hospital in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. In the intervention groups, TICK-B was applied for 2–3 min before needle insertion, and TKTX cream was applied 20 min before the venipuncture procedure. All outcome measures were evaluated 2–3 min after the completion of the venipuncture procedure. Results The combined TICK-B (colouring book) and TKTX cream (topical anaesthetic) intervention was the most effective in reducing both pain intensity (mean score 2.80 vs 7.24 in the control, p<0.001) and fear levels (mean score 0.93 vs 2.83 in the control, p<0.001) during and after venipuncture procedures compared with individual interventions and control. Conclusions The combined TICK-B distraction and TKTX cream topical anaesthetic intervention was the most effective in reducing pain intensity and fear during and after venipuncture in children, providing a practical strategy for healthcare providers to optimise needle procedure management.

We describe the use of 10 prioritised WHO standard-based quality measures to assess provision of care for children with acute respiratory infections (ARI) in Italy.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In a multicentre observational study across 11 emergency departments with different characteristics, we collected 10 WHO standard-based quality measures related to case management of children with ARI and no emergency/priority signs. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Data from 3145 children were collected. Major differences in QOC across facilities were observed: documentation of saturation level and respiratory rate varied from 34.3% to 100% and from 10.7% to 62.7%, respectively (p<0.001); antibiotic prescription rates ranged from 22.6% to 80.0% (p<0.001), with significant differences in the pattern of prescribed antibiotic; hospitalisations rates ranged between 2.3% and 30.6% (p<0.001). When corrected for children's individual sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, the variable more consistently associated with each analysed outcome was the individual facility where the child was managed. Higher rates of antibiotics prescription (+33.1%, p<0.001) and hospitalisation (+24.7%, p<0.001) were observed for facilities in Southern Italy, while university centres were associated with lower hospitalisation rates (-13.1%, p<0.001), independently from children's characteristics.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The use of 10 WHO standard-based measures can help quickly assess QOC for children with ARI. There is an urgent need to invest more in implementation research to identify sustainable and effective interventions to ensure that all children receive high QOC.</p>","PeriodicalId":9069,"journal":{"name":"BMJ Paediatrics Open","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142104138","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}
