Objective: to understand the experiences of family caregivers of children with Primary Immunodeficiency in view of care demands.
Methods: a qualitative research. Data collection was subsidized by an open interview with five family caregivers, and the data were analyzed using the Bardin Content Analysis technique, thematic modality. The Callista Roy's Adaptation Model of Nursing was used to interpret the data.
Results: from participants' reports, the following categories emerged: Maternity: facing adversity; Remodeling of daily life; The Social Support Network resource.
Final Considerations: family caregivers experience several feelings such as anguish and low self-esteem due to the fear of losing their child and the routine of illnesses and hospitalizations, in addition to needs that are often not reached due to incompatibility with the family budget. The Social Support Network is strengthened for most caregivers, playing an essential role as a coping strategy for caregivers.

The dynamics of initiation in caregiver-child conversational interactions.
J Child Lang

Center for Data Science in Humanities, Institute of Humanities, Chosun University, Gwangju, Korea.
We investigated the dynamics of communicative initiation in infant-caregiver interactions across ages and language abilities. Analyses of 228 Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA) recordings from 141 Korean adult-child dyads (60 girls; aged 7-30 months) replicated the initiator effect reported in North American populations. This effect, demonstrated by longer utterances, more frequent speech, and shorter response times in self-initiated interactions for both children and adults, suggests potential cross-cultural consistency in this conversational dynamic and remained consistent across ages in most conversational measures.

Background: TB preventive treatment (TPT) prevents the development of TB disease in individuals at risk of progression from infection to disease. However, implementation of TPT for children is poor in most high-burden settings. The long duration and pill burden of the 6-month once-daily isoniazid regimen (6H) pose significant barriers to completion.

Background: Household transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may play a key role in times of increased infection, particularly among children. We aimed to determine the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and identify risk factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 antibody positivity in children.
Methods: Unvaccinated children aged 18 months to 11 years between August 2022 and June 2023 underwent oral fluid testing for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.
Despite high rates of substance use, youth involved in the juvenile justice system are unlikely to be linked to the treatment services they need. Family Connect is a flexible, family-focused, linkage intervention developed to address multilevel barriers and increase youth engagement in care through the introduction of a linkage specialist. We describe the components of Family Connect and present findings from the intervention pilot test comparing 18 youth-caregiver dyads to 95 historical controls on referral, attending intake and initiating treatment.
