Aims: To identify 11-year HbA trajectories in children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes and determine whether baseline caregiver- and/or child/adolescent-reported Adherence in Diabetes Questionnaire (ADQ) scores and multiple covariates predict HbA trajectory membership.
Methods: For a 2009 population-based cohort of children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes, we analyzed HbA follow-up (2010-2020) data from Danish diabetes registries. HbA trajectories were identified with group-based trajectory modeling. Using multinomial logistic regression, we tested whether ADQ scores predicted trajectory membership when adjusting for sex, age at diabetes diagnosis, diabetes duration, family structure, and caregiver education.
Results: For 671 children/adolescents (10-17 years at baseline) with 5644 HbA observations over 11 years, four trajectories/groups were identified: 1) "on target, gradual decrease" (27%), 2) "above target, mild increase then decrease" (39%), 3) "above target, moderate increase then decrease" (25%), and 4) "well above target, large increase then decrease" (9%). Using group one as the reference, lower caregiver-reported ADQ scores predicted group 2, 3, and 4 membership. Lower child/adolescent-reported ADQ scores predicted group 3 and 4 membership. Low caregiver education predicted group 3 and 4 membership. Single-parent status predicted group 4 membership.
Conclusions: ADQ scores and socio-demographics may serve as tools to predict glycemic control in youth with type 1 diabetes.

Dementia not only affects the person living with the condition but also their family and wider social circle. For that reason, it is important to educate family members, the wider public and health professionals. How a child and young people's (CYP) nurse supports and responds to a CYP whose family member has dementia or acts as a carer is of interest to pre-licensure (pre-registration) CYP nursing programs.

Background: Dementia is a prevalent global health issue, necessitating comprehensive education for healthcare practitioners and students. Nursing and pharmacy students, provide support across healthcare settings often working as frontline caregivers. Therefore, it is imperative to equip these students with a profound understanding of dementia.

Post-colonoscopy consults empower patients to make informed decisions around their subsequent treatment, and non-compliance with these consults ("no-shows") hinders disease management. There is a paucity in the literature regarding self-adherence to post-colonoscopy consults in resource-limited settings such as South Africa. An understanding of self-adherence to post-colonoscopy consults in this setting is required to establish whether improved interventions are needed, and what specific elements of self-adherence should be addressed with these interventions.

Purpose: To verify the effects of multi-domain computerized cognitive training on intellectual function and adaptive functioning in children with intellectual developmental disorder (IDD).
Methods: Children with IDD were randomized to a multi-domain computerized cognitive training (CCT) group (n = 30) and control group (n = 30). Both groups received a 5-week training program.
