Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the role of a Youth Health Care nurse as a coordinating professional in a new program aimed at addressing childhood overweight and obesity, involving a collaborative approach with families and other professionals.
- - In-depth interviews with eight families and online questionnaires from 38 families revealed that both parents and children felt supported by the nurse, valuing the personal connection and broad perspective offered, although contact frequency was sometimes low.
- - While participants appreciated the nurse's approach, the study highlights the need for improved collaboration and follow-up within this integrated care model to enhance the effectiveness of the program.
Background: Socioeconomically disadvantaged children often have psychosocial problems. This study examined the mediating role of maternal depressive symptoms during pregnancy, infancy and early childhood in the association between maternal education, as indicator of socioeconomic status (SES), and child's psychosocial problems.
Methods: Included were 3410 children from the Amsterdam Born Children and their Development (ABCD) study.
Objective: Comparison of the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and psychosocial problems in preterm-born and term-born children.
Design: Cohort study (Amsterdam Born Children and their Development (ABCD) cohort).
Method: For 217 preterm-born children (mean gestation 34 weeks), Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) scores were compared with 4336 term-born children at age 5-6 years.
This study aimed at analysing the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and psychosocial problems in preterm- and term-born children. Scores of mothers and teachers on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) regarding 217 preterm-born children (<37 weeks' gestation, mean 34 weeks) were compared with 4336 term-born children in the Amsterdam Born Children and their Development (ABCD) cohort at age 5-6 years. Associations between SDQ scores and SES (maternal education and perceived income adequacy) were examined with multivariate linear regression analysis.

After a restart of VPA, the hallucinations disappeared. We suggest mechanisms for the occurrence of the hallucinations and a possible control of a predisposition to hallucinations by VPA.
