A web-based resource for exercise training in children treated for brain tumours to improve cognitive sequelae: Development and usability.

Unlabelled: Improving cognitive sequelae in children treated for brain tumours (CTBT) requires accessible interventions. While instructor-led exercise in a hospital setting is efficacious, it is not extended to communities.

Objectives: We aimed to (i) develop a website with educational resources/tools for community health and fitness professionals (HFP) to deliver exercise for CTBT in community settings to improve cognition and (ii) assess its usability by community HFP.

A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Virtual Reality Distraction to Reduce Procedural Pain During Subcutaneous Port Access in Children and Adolescents With Cancer.

Objectives: We aimed to determine the feasibility of virtual reality (VR) distraction for children with cancer undergoing subcutaneous port (SCP) access. We also aimed to estimate preliminary treatment effects of VR compared with an active distraction control (iPad).

Materials And Methods: A single-site pilot randomized controlled trial comparing VR to iPad distraction was conducted.

Pain Squad+ smartphone app to support real-time pain treatment for adolescents with cancer: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Pain negatively affects the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of adolescents with cancer. The Pain Squad+ smartphone-based application (app), has been developed to provide adolescents with real-time pain self-management support. The app uses a validated pain assessment and personalised pain treatment advice with centralised decision support via a registered nurse to enable real-time pain treatment in all settings.

E-mentoring for youth with physical disabilities preparing for employment: a content analysis of support exchanged between participants of a mentored and non-mentored group.

Peer-mentoring is a method of delivering support that may ameliorate some of the challenges that youth with physical disabilities experience when preparing for future employment. This qualitative study compared and described forum content of an employment-focused peer e-mentoring intervention for youth with physical disabilities with a focus on support provided within a mentored group (an experimental group) and a non-mentored group (a control group). Using a descriptive qualitative approach, textual data from discussion forums of two groups within a peer e-mentoring intervention were analyzed through a content analysis.

A scoping review of the role of LEGO therapy for improving inclusion and social skills among children and youth with autism.
