Transformative justice to support truth and reconciliation within nurse-midwifery education.

Nursing education holds a history framed in white supremacy and whiteness. Efforts to employ antiracist strategies have been hindered, largely due to an inability for faculty to acknowledge and hold accountability for racialized harms that occur within nursing educational structures. A nurse-midwifery program in the Pacific Northwest United States uncovered harm that impacted students and identified a need to respond and hold accountability.

Experiences of recruitment and retention in academia: A collaborative autoethnography of early-career faculty members of color.

Background: Recruitment and retention of diverse faculty in schools of nursing continues to be an important challenge but little has been written from the perspectives of early-career faculty of color on their decision to join academia and their retention.

Purpose: We aim to understand the perspectives of a cluster hire of early-career faculty of color on their recruitment, mentorship and support received, and resources needed for long-term retention.

Methods: Five faculty members conducted a joint autoethnography of their perspectives through recruitment, hiring, and first year as faculty.

Sleep deficiency and symptoms of pain, fatigue, and depressed mood in youth with and without childhood systemic lupus erythematosus.

Study Objectives: We undertook a study to describe and compare sleep deficiency and symptoms of pain, fatigue, and depressed mood in youth with childhood systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) to a healthy comparison group of youth and test the associations between sleep and symptoms of pain, fatigue, and depressed mood in youth with cSLE.

Methods: Forty-three youth (23 youth with cSLE; 20 age- and sex-matched healthy youth) wore actigraphs and completed sleep diaries for 10 days and completed self-report questionnaires on sleep quality, pain, fatigue, and depressed mood.

Results: On average, both groups had a total sleep time of less than 7 hours.

Trying to Do What's Best: Maternal Perspectives About Toddler Sleep Health Among an Underresourced Sample of Mothers With Diverse Racial and Ethnic Identities.

Introduction: This study describes mothers' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices about their toddler's sleep health among an underresourced sample of mothers with diverse racial and ethnic identities.

Method: This was a descriptive qualitative study with 16 mothers and their 12- to 36-month-old child. Mothers completed a semistructured, audio-recorded interview about their toddler's sleep health.

Temporal Daily Relationships Between Sleep and Pain in Adolescents With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of pain. This study aimed to describe the temporal daily relationships between sleep and pain in adolescents with SLE.

Method: Twenty-three adolescents with SLE recruited from a pediatric hospital wore actigraphy and completed diaries.

Executive Functioning and Self-Management Processes Mediate the Relationship Between Insomnia and Pain-Related Disability.

Insomnia has been identified as a predictor of reduced benefit from cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for adolescent chronic pain; however, it is not well understood how insomnia leads to reduced treatment response. The purpose of this study was to evaluate executive function and self-management processes as 2 potential mediators of the relationship between insomnia symptoms and pain-related disability outcomes from internet-delivered CBT using a single-arm clinical trial design. Eighty-five adolescents with chronic pain (77% female, ages 12-17 years) and their caregiver received an 8-week internet-delivered CBT intervention.

Analysis, evaluation, and reformulation of social cognitive theory: Toward parent-child shared management in sleep health.

Theoretical Principles: Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) is a middle-range theory with triadic determinism between behavioral, environmental, and personal. SCT has been a guiding framework in health promotion research as it helps understand people's behaviors.

Phenomena Addressed: Behavioral Insomnia of Childhood (BIC) is highly prevalent, affecting up to 45% of typically developing children and 80% of children with special healthcare needs.

Adaptive translational reprogramming of metabolism limits the response to targeted therapy in BRAF melanoma.

Despite the success of therapies targeting oncogenes in cancer, clinical outcomes are limited by residual disease that ultimately results in relapse. This residual disease is often characterized by non-genetic adaptive resistance, that in melanoma is characterised by altered metabolism. Here, we examine how targeted therapy reprograms metabolism in BRAF-mutant melanoma cells using a genome-wide RNA interference (RNAi) screen and global gene expression profiling.

Improving Asthma Care Together (IMPACT) mobile health intervention for school-age children with asthma and their parents: a pilot randomised controlled trial study protocol.

Introduction: Asthma is an incurable, lifelong condition that places children at increased risk for exacerbation, hospitalisation and school absences. Most paediatric asthma interventions target parents alone and are overly prescriptive. Improving Asthma Care Together (IMPACT) is a novel shared management system comprised of a mobile health (mHealth) application, symptom watch and tailored health intervention that pairs parent and child together as an asthma management team.

Call to action: Prioritizing sleep health among US children and youth residing in alternative care settings.

Sleep health is a critical but under-recognized area of concern for the more than 650,000 children served by the US child welfare system each year. While sleep is vital to optimal child health and development, it is likely harmed by the multiple adversities and traumas experienced among children and youth residing in alternative care settings (ie, kinship care, nonrelative foster care, group homes). Children residing in alternative care settings have experienced, at a minimum, the trauma of removal from a biological parent's care and would benefit from holistic, comprehensive care approaches inclusive of sleep health.

Using wearable and mobile technology to measure and promote healthy sleep behaviors in adolescents: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to map the evidence related to how consumer-targeted wearable and mobile technology is being used to measure and/or promote sleep among adolescents.

Introduction: Sleep is a key component of physical and mental health and is required for healthy development in adolescence. Efforts to improve insufficient and poor-quality sleep among adolescents have resulted in limited and temporary enhancements in sleep habits.

Self-Care Needs and Technology Preferences Among Parents in Marginalized Communities: Participatory Design Study.

Background: Ten million parents provide unpaid care to children living with chronic conditions, such as asthma, and a high percentage of these parents are in marginalized communities, including racial and ethnic minority and low-income families. There is an urgent need to develop technology-enabled tailored solutions to support the self-care needs of these parents.

Objective: This study aimed to use a participatory design approach to describe and compare Latino and non-Latino parents' current self-care practices, needs, and technology preferences when caring for children with asthma in marginalized communities.

Sleep Deficiency and Pediatric Chronic Pain.

Sleep deficiency in children is a public health concern, and it is highly comorbid in pediatric chronic pain conditions. Children may be particularly vulnerable to the deleterious effects of sleep deficiency, because comorbid sleep deficiency in chronic pain may further exacerbate already existent symptoms of pain, anxiety, depressions, daytime function, and increase health care use. Sleep deficiency is modifiable and integrating human-centered approaches into the development of sleep interventions is a pragmatic approach to partner with parents and children to provide them with the knowledge, motivation, and skills for setting and achieving goals, adapting to setbacks, and problem solving.

Development of the Sleep Health in Preschoolers (SHIP) intervention: Integrating a theoretical framework for a family-centered intervention to promote healthy sleep.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and design of a theoretically derived, family centered, and home-delivered health behavior change intervention to address behavioral sleep problems in young children, including modifications responsive to pilot study experiences. Sleep Health in Preschoolers (SHIP) is an intervention grounded in Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory and Bronfenbrenner's Socioecological framework that integrates an individualized, stepwise approach to include self-management skills and the inherent and dynamic interactions between individual child, parent, and family level factors and diverse socioecologic factors. SHIP is a personalized, tailored intervention that partners with parents to provide knowledge, motivation, and skills for setting and achieving goals, adapting to setbacks, and problem-solving in an iterative fashion to improve their child's sleep.

Sleep disturbances in children with functional gastrointestinal disorders: demographic and clinical characteristics.

Study Objectives: Research indicates a deleterious effect of sleep disturbances on pain and illness-related functioning across pediatric populations. Sleep problems in youth with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are understudied, despite studies in adult FGIDs indicating sleep disruptions increase pain and symptom severity. This study sought to better characterize sleep problems in school-age children with FGIDs and to assess relationships with demographic characteristics and gastrointestinal symptoms.

DreamCatcher: Exploring How Parents and School-Age Children Can Track and Review Sleep Information Together.

Parents and their school-age children can impact one another's sleep. Most sleep-tracking tools, however, are designed for adults and make it difficult for parents and children to track together. To examine how to design a family-centered sleep tracking tool, we designed DreamCatcher.

Human-centered approaches that integrate sensor technology across the lifespan: Opportunities and challenges.

Children, parents, older adults, and caregivers routinely use sensor technology as a source of health information and health monitoring. The purpose of this paper is to describe three exemplars of research that used a human-centered approach to engage participants in the development, design, and usability of interventions that integrate technology to promote health. The exemplars are based on current research studies that integrate sensor technology into pediatric, adult, and older adult populations living with a chronic health condition.

Sleep Problems and Trajectories of Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors in Children with Neurodevelopmental Disabilities.

Sleep problems are prevalent in children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and are associated with the expression of restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs). Children (n = 57) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD, n = 38) or developmental delay (DD, n = 19) participated in multiple assessments of intellectual ability, ASD symptoms, and RRBs (3 timepoints for ASD, 2 for DD). Sleep problems assessed at age 4 via parent report were associated with trajectories of higher-order RRBs (sameness/ritualistic/compulsive behaviors) from age 2-6 in the ASD group, and from age 2-4 in the DD group, even after controlling for intellectual ability, social-affective symptoms, and anxiety.

Sleep and Circadian Rhythms in Survivors of Acute Respiratory Failure.

Little is known about sleep and circadian rhythms in survivors of acute respiratory failure (ARF) after hospital discharge. To examine sleep and rest-activity circadian rhythms in ARF survivors 3 months after hospital discharge, and to compare them with a community-dwelling population. Sleep diary, actigraphy data, and insomnia symptoms were collected in a pilot study of 14 ARF survivors.

Sleep intervention for children with asthma and their parents (SKIP Study): a novel web-based shared management pilot study.

Study Objectives: The objective of this study was to describe the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a novel Sleep Intervention for Kids and Parents (SKIP). Parent and child primary sleep outcomes were total sleep time, wake after sleep onset (WASO), sleep efficiency (SE), and bedtime range.

Methods: Children 6-11 years of age with asthma and 1 parent, both with behavioral sleep disturbance, enrolled in this single-group pilot.
