  • Pediatricians’ Perspective on the Role of Stepparents in Pediatric Medical Decision-Making

    Open AccessManon Willekens, Johanna Callens et al.ARTICLEChildren2026

    This study shows the importance of a better alignment between clinical practice and legal reality. Aligning legal frameworks with contemporary family patterns may support more consistent, child-centered decision-making in pediatric practice

  • The Association of Social Media Use and Eating Behaviour of Belgian Adolescent Girls Diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa—A Qualitative Approach

    Open AccessNathalie Praet, Jeff Stevens et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    This research underscores the critical need for awareness and guidance in adolescents' social media use to mitigate negative impacts, emphasizing the potential link between exposure to specific content and cognitive-behavioural changes in those with eating disorders. Further investigation is warranted to deepen our comprehension of these dynamics

  • Knowledge Gaps and Bridges

    Open AccessCharelity Adu-Gallant, Jaan Toelen et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    The major focus of this research is the level of awareness among Dutch parents of general patient rights in relation to minors' patient rights. Moreover, this study is intended to highlight the most effective strategies to increase the awareness of general and minor patient rights in the Netherlands. A survey was conducted among 1010 Dutch parents aged between 35 and 55 years who had at least one child. In this study, we described the relationshi…

  • Testing a Home Solution for Preparing Young Children for an Awake MRI

    Open AccessSam Geuens, Jurgen Lemiere et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Thanks to its non-invasive nature and high-resolution imaging capabilities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable diagnostic tool for pediatric patients. However, the fear and anxiety experienced by young children during MRI scans often result in suboptimal image quality and the need for sedation/anesthesia. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a smartphone application called COSMO@home to prepare children for MRI scans to reduce t…

  • Teacher Preparedness for Medical Emergencies in Belgian Classrooms

    Open AccessMaya Vermonden, Liesse Dehaerne et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    About one in seven accidents involving children occurs at school. Roughly 70% of these accidents involve children under the age of 12 years. Thus, primary school teachers may be confronted with accidents where first aid could improve the outcome. Despite the importance of first-aid knowledge among teachers, little is known about this topic. To fill this gap, we conducted case-based survey research on the objective and subjective first-aid knowled…

  • Knowledge of Child Abuse and Neglect among General Practitioners and Pediatricians in Training

    Open AccessMarjolijn Jamaer, Jef Van den Eynde et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Child abuse and neglect is a common, underreported, and worldwide problem. Health care providers play an important role in detecting and reporting this problem. This study examined the knowledge on the clinical signs and mimickers of child abuse among Belgian trainees in family medicine and pediatrics. Participants filled out an anonymous online survey of 15 fictional but realistic cases with either suspicious or non-suspicious signs of abuse or …

  • Both Medical and Context Elements Influence the Decision-Making Processes of Pediatricians

    Open AccessLisa Schurmans, D De Coninck et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    We wanted to investigate the relationship of medical and non-medical factors with the clinical decision-making of pediatricians. We hypothesize that the addition of relevant medical information (either alarming or reassuring) will influence the physician's decision-making, but that the addition of non-medical information will also play a role. To investigate this, we designed an online questionnaire containing ten clinical case-based scenarios, o…

  • Pediatric Procedural Sedation and Analgesia (PROSA) in the Leuven University Hospitals

    Open AccessLotte Kerkhofs, Karel Allegaert et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    The hospital can be a stressful environment for a child. To address the increase in demands for pediatric procedural sedation, the PROSA team initiative was started in the Leuven University Hospitals in 2014. In this study, we assessed the efficacy and safety of this project since its initiation. Demographic (age, sex) and clinical (procedure, sedation method) data were prospectively registered by the dedicated PROSA team. Anonymized data (11/201…
