A Norwegian validity study of parenting stress measured by the Nijmegen Child-Rearing Situation Questionnaire section one.

The aim of this study was to explore the construct validity and reliability of the Nijmegen Child-Rearing Situation Questionnaire (NCSQ) section one entitled 'Subjective parenting stress'. This is composed of subscales measuring relational and situational stress. The possibility of using subscales with both dimensions in the same study gives the opportunity to explore parenting stress from both a relational and situational perspective.

Appraisals of stress in child-rearing in Swedish mothers pre-schoolers with ADHD. A questionnaire study.

Dutch self-report questionnaire for measuring parental: i) subjective stress, ii) global appraisal of the child-rearing situation, iii) attribution of child-rearing outcomes, and iv) expectation for help was translated into Swedish and applied to mothers of two groups of 3- to 7-year-olds: one with DSM-IV ADHD (n = 131) and one without DSM-IV ADHD (n = 131). The suggested factor structure of the original Dutch report was tested with confirmatory analysis on data from the mothers of children with ADHD [131]. There was no perfect fit to the data, but close enough to judge the factors as applicable to this sample.

Parenting children with anorectal malformations: implications and experiences.

Parents play a crucial role in the life of a child suffering from an anorectal malformation (ARM), since their guidance contributes to the degree to which the child learns to cope with his or her disability. We investigated whether they experience stress in parenting such a child and also attempted to identify somatic or behavioral characteristics in the child that influence the stress of parenting. The parents of 109 children (69 males, 40 females; median age 5.

A Double-Blind, Randomized Comparison of Aztreonam Plus Clindamycin with Tobramycin Plus Clindamycin in Abdominal Infections.

Seventy patients with intraabdominal infections were randomly assigned in double-blinded fashion to receive either the combination of tobramycin plus clindamycin (TM/C) or aztreonam plus clindamycin (AZ/C). Thirty-four patients received AZ/C and 36 were given TM/C. Average ages were 62 years (TM/C) and 66 years (AZ/C).

The development of a bedside algorithm capable of targeting anti-endotoxins to the responder subpopulations.

The published selection criteria for use of anti-endotoxin antibodies are modeled on the criteria used in protocol enrollment of patients. These criteria are not suitable for therapeutic decision-making, because the trials themselves prove that the enrollment criteria have both low sensitivity and low specificity. In order to develop a selection method with greater sensitivity and specificity, we examined the charts and records of 23 patients that we enrolled in the multicenter trials of E5 and HA-1A.
