A content analysis of caregiver perspectives on strengths and protective factors in youth with Fasd and criminal legal system involvement
Youth with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) experience complex challenges and may be at an increased risk of contact with the criminal legal system (CLS). However, youth and their families often have strengths and resources that can be leveraged to support positive outcomes. Research in both the FASD and the youth CLS literatures have been predominantly deficit-focused, research that includes strengths and protective factors presents a more…
Children’s Perceptions of Dental Experiences and Ways to Improve Them
This qualitative study explored children's perceptions of their dental experiences and their acceptability of the CARDTM (Comfort, Ask, Relax, Distract) system, adapted for the dental setting as a means to mitigate dental fear and anxiety (DFA). A purposive sample of 12 participants (7 males) aged 8-12 years receiving dental care at the Paediatric Dental Clinic, University of Toronto, was recruited. Virtual one-on-one interviews were augmented wi…
A Brief Mindfulness Intervention for Parents and Children before Pediatric Venipuncture
The intervention did not reduce child pain or fear but reduced parent distress. It appeared most helpful for parents catastrophizing about their child's pain, which is noteworthy as these children are prone to worse outcomes
Children’s Perspectives on Outpatient Physician Visits
Actively involving children in their healthcare is a core value of patient-centered care. This is the first study to directly obtain children's detailed perspectives on positive and negative aspects of outpatient physician visits in a primary care setting (e.g., checkups) and their preferred level of participation. Individual interviews were conducted with 167 children (female n = 82, male n = 85; ages 7-10, M age = 8.07 years, SD = 0.82). Open-e…
Feasibility of implementation of CARDTM for school-based immunizations in Calgary, Alberta
The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov ( NCT03948633 ); Submitted April 24, 2019
Student Feedback to Tailor the CARDTM System for Improving the Immunization Experience at School
Increasing the comfort of vaccine delivery at school is needed to improve the immunization experience for students. We created the CARDTM (C-Comfort, A-Ask, R-Relax and D-Distract) system to address this clinical care gap. Originally designed for grade 7 students, this study examined the perceptions of grade 9 students of CARDTM. Grade 9 students who had experience with school-based immunizations, either as recipients or onlookers ( n = 7; 100% f…
Parent Cardiac Response in the Context of Their Child’s Completion of the Cold Pressor Task
Parents' ability to regulate their emotions is essential to providing supportive caregiving behaviours when their child is in pain. Extant research focuses on parent self-reported experience or observable behavioural responses. Physiological responding, such as heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV), is critical to the experience and regulation of emotions and provides a complementary perspective on parent experience; yet, it is scarcel…
