Background: While parent-delivered pain management has been demonstrated to effectively reduce neonatal procedural pain responses, little is known about to what extent it is utilized. Our aim was to explore the utilization of parents in neonatal pain management and investigate whether local guidelines promote parent-delivered interventions.
Methods: A web-based survey was distributed to neonatal units worldwide.
Introduction: The aim of this study is to investigate the integration of movement and physical activity (MoPA) within Early Childhood Teacher Education (ECTE) policies across Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. This knowledge can inform the development of ECTE policies and practices that promote MoPA in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) in Nordic countries and other countries worldwide.
Methods: In this study, a Nordic cross-national network of researchers collaborated in investigating policy documents at the national and university levels, which govern the education of ECEC teachers.
It is often a challenge for a child to communicate their pain, and their possibilities to do so should be strengthened in healthcare settings. Digital self-assessment provides a potential solution for person-centered care in pain management and promotes child participation when a child is ill. A child's perception of pain assessment differs when it is assessed using digital or analog formats.

- Access to healthcare facilitates parents' ability to manage their children's care after pediatric surgery, which involves six key dimensions: approachability, acceptability, affordability, availability, appropriateness, and aperture.
- A study analyzed 22 interviews with parents, revealing that acceptability was the most frequently mentioned dimension, followed by appropriateness and approachability, while affordability, availability, and aperture were less discussed.
- Despite generally having appropriate access, parents often feel insecure about self-management, indicating the potential benefit of additional support, such as telemedicine for information provision.
