The "what," "why," and "when" of using mindfulness in schools: Best practices and guidance for educators and policymakers
Comparative Effectiveness of Pediatric Integrative Medicine: A Pragmatic Cluster-Controlled Trial
Symptoms of pain, nausea/vomiting, and anxiety (PNVA) are highly prevalent in pediatric inpatients. Poorly managed symptoms can lead to decreased compliance with care, and prolonged recovery times. Pharmacotherapy used to manage PNVA symptoms is of variable effectiveness and carries safety risks. Complementary therapies to manage these symptoms are gaining popularity due to their perceived benefits and low risk of harm. Pediatric integrative medi…
Exploring patient centredness, communication and shared decision‐making under a new model of care: Community rehabilitation in canada
Patient-centred care and patient engagement in healthcare and health research are widely mandated by funders, health systems and institutions. Increasingly, shared decision-making (SDM) is recognised as promoting patient-centred care. We explore this relationship by studying SDM in the context of integrating novel patient-centred policies in community rehabilitation. There is little research on SDM in rehabilitation, and less so in the critical c…
From Boulder to Stockholm in 70 Years: Single Case Experimental Designs in Clinical Research
Observational Study of Pediatric Inpatient Pain, Nausea/Vomiting and Anxiety
Background : The prevalence and severity of pain, nausea/vomiting, and anxiety (PNVA) among hospitalized children is not well established. We describe the prevalence and severity of PNVA among hospitalized patients from oncology, general pediatrics, and cardiology services in a tertiary care center. Methods : Patients were recruited on admission and enrolled if their caregiver consented, spoke English, and were anticipated to stay 2-30 days. Symp…
Pediatric Integrative Medicine: Vision for the Future
Pediatric integrative medicine (PIM) is of significant interest to patients, with 12% of the general pediatric population and up to 80% of children with chronic conditions using PIM approaches. The field of PIM has evolved over the past 25 years, approaching child health with a number of guiding principles: preventive, context-centered, relationship-based, personalized, participatory, and ecologically sustainable. This manuscript reviews importan…
N-of-1 Trials: Individualized Medication Effectiveness Tests
Evidence-based management of chronic diseases presents a unique set of challenges. Results from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), often considered the "gold standard" of research evidence, are often not well suited to the realities of clinical practice given patient heterogeneity, comorbidities, and the use of multiple concurrent therapies. In fact, RCTs may exclude the majority of patients seen in routine clinical practice In addition, eviden…
N-of-1 Trials in the Medical Literature: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND: N-of-1 trials (multiple crossover studies conducted in single individuals) may be ideal for determining individual treatment effects and as a tool to estimate heterogeneity of treatment effects (HTE) in a population. However, comprehensive data on n-of-1 trial methodology and analysis is lacking. We performed this study to describe n-of-1 trial characteristics, examine treatment changes resulting from n-of-1 trial participation, and t…
Parental views on pediatric vaccination: The impact of competing advocacy coalitions
The debate on pediatric vaccination policy has been characterized by the presence of two distinct coalitions: those in favor of current vaccination policies and those expressing concern about these policies. The target of these coalitions is the vaccination decision of parents. To determine their influence, we conducted four focus groups in Toronto, Canada examining parental decision-making concerning pediatric vaccination. Our focus groups consi…
