A waitlist randomised control trial of the unified protocol for the treatment of emotional disorders in children and adolescents with chronic medical conditions (The UP-CAM Study)
Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: 12,624,000,114,549; Date: February 23, 2024. WHO Universal Trial Number: U1111-1285-0860
Language and communication functioning in children and adolescents with agenesis of the corpus callosum
The corpus callosum, the largest white matter inter-hemispheric pathway, is involved in language and communication. In a cohort of 15 children and adolescents (8-15 years) with developmental absence of the corpus callosum (AgCC), this study aimed to describe language and everyday communication functioning, and explored the role of anatomical factors, social risk, and non-verbal IQ in these outcomes. Standardised measures of language and everyday …
Categorical and dimensional approaches to the developmental relationship between ADHD and irritability
BACKGROUND: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and irritability commonly co-occur, and follow similar developmental trajectories from childhood to adolescence. Understanding of the developmental relationship between these co-occurrences is limited. This study provides a longitudinal assessment of how ADHD diagnostic status and symptom patterns predict change in irritability. METHODS: A community sample of 337 participants (45.2% ADHD…
Australian parent and sibling perspectives on the impact of paediatric acquired brain injury on family relationships during the first 6 weeks at home
This study explores the impact of paediatric acquired brain injury (ABI) on family relationships. Twenty-three families (n = 18 mothers, n = 7 fathers, and n = 4 siblings) of children who sustained an ABI requiring treatment from inpatient acute and rehabilitation services reported on their perceptions regarding changes in family relationships since the injured child's return home. Thematic analysis of survey data was conducted. Family members (p…
Executive function mediates the prospective association between neurostructural differences within the central executive network and anti‐social behavior after childhood traumatic brain injury
BACKGROUND: Despite increasing evidence of a link between early life brain injury and anti-social behavior, very few studies have assessed factors that explain this association in children with traumatic brain injury (TBI). One hypothesis suggests that childhood TBI elevates risk for anti-social behavior via disruption to anatomically distributed neural networks implicated in executive functioning (EF). In this longitudinal prospective study, we …
Exploring health state utility values of parents of children with a serious illness
Quality of life in parents of seriously Ill/injured children
Feasibility and acceptability of an online acceptance and commitment therapy group for parents caring for a child with cerebral palsy
This study explored the feasibility and acceptability of a videoconferencing group psychotherapy intervention for parents of children living with cerebral palsy. A six-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention called Take a Breath was provided. Participants were 26 parents of children aged 12 months to nine years, with severe cerebral palsy. Parents responded to questionnaires at three time-points; baseline, pre-intervention, a…
ParentWorks
Evidence-based parenting interventions are effective in reducing conduct problems, yet these interventions have limited reach, and few involve the participation of fathers. This paper describes the outcomes of an open trial of ParentWorks, a universal, online, father-inclusive parenting intervention aiming to decrease childhood behavioural problems and promote positive parenting in mothers and fathers. A total of 388 families (456 individual pare…
Evaluating Practitioner Training to Improve Competencies and Organizational Practices for Engaging Fathers in Parenting Interventions
Fathers are consistently underrepresented in parenting interventions and practitioners are an important target for change in interventions to enhance father engagement. This research examined the effects of two practitioner training programs in improving practitioner rated competencies and organizational father-inclusive practices. Two studies were conducted, each with a single group, repeated measures (pre, post and 2-month follow-up) design. St…
Enhancing Father Engagement in Parenting Programs
ObjectiveGiven the increasing research and practice interest in father engagement, this article aimed to develop a clinical narrative integrating the extant research literature to distil key practice recommendations for enhancing father engagement in parenting interventions for child wellbeing.MethodA narrative review of research on father engagement in interventions for child wellbeing was conducted, to identify and distil evidence‐based policie…
Parental distress in response to childhood medical trauma
This study explored the relationship between individual and family-level risk in predicting longer-term parental distress following their child’s unexpected diagnosis of serious illness. A mediation model was tested, whereby parents’ pre-existing psychosocial risk predicts longer-term posttraumatic stress symptoms, indirectly through parents’ acute stress response. One hundred and thirty-two parents of 104 children participated. Acute stress resp…

Optimising child outcomes from parenting interventions
The findings have important implications for services seeking to increase father engagement and highlight a number of strategies to enhance the promotion and delivery of parenting interventions to fathers. These strategies include more public health messaging about parenting programs and the importance of father participation
Examining Practitioner Competencies, Organizational Support and Barriers to Engaging Fathers in Parenting Interventions
Evidence-based parenting interventions have been developed and evaluated largely with mothers. This study examined practitioner reports of rates of father attendance, barriers to engagement, organizational support for father-inclusive practice, participation in training in father engagement, and competencies in working with fathers. It also explored predictors of practitioner competence and rates of father attendance. Practitioners (N = 210) who …
Maternal Report of Infant Emotional Well‐Being Following Their Infant's Hospitalization for Neonatal Cardiac Surgery
Little is known about the immediate impact of neonatal cardiac surgery on emotional and behavioral functioning in infancy. This exploratory, qualitative study investigated if infants who underwent cardiac surgery in the first 3 months of life exhibited emotional and behavioral dysregulation or traumatic stress responses. Ninety‐one infants and their mothers were recruited while inpatients. Mothers were interviewed about their perceptionof the imp…
Bullying and Peer Victimisation in Adolescent Girls with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Changes in SWB following injury to different brain lobes
Social
Despite significant advances in the field of social neuroscience, much remains to be understood regarding the development and maintenance of social skills across the life span. Few comprehensive models exist that integrate multidisciplinary perspectives and explain the multitude of factors that influence the emergence and expression of social skills. Here, a developmental biopsychosocial model (SOCIAL) is offered that incorporates the biological …
Cognitive and psychosocial outcome after head injury in children
Neuropsychological and psychosocial assessment of 58 Victorian and South Australian school-aged children who sustained a closed head injury was carried out immediately postinjury and at 6 months follow-up. For those children whose head injury was defined as mild (length of coma less than 1 hour) outcome on all variables was good at both time points. Children with moderate to severe injury (length of coma greater than 1 hour) had lower WISC-R IQ s…
Ability profiles of learning disabled children
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) profiles of 156 male and 52 female children presenting with learning disability at a hospital clinic for learning disabled children were cluster analysed yielding a five-group solution. Similarities were observed between these subtypes and those commonly reported in the literature. However, when the profiles of these subtypes were reordered in terms of Bannatyne's (1968) categories, three distin…
