“…Topical anesthesia was used by almost all specialists in the present sample. This compares to previous reports [19,20]. Benzocaine was the most used topical anesthetic in the current survey, used by more than two-thirds of the study sample followed by lidocaine gel/ointment.…”

“…The sample calculations were performed with the sample size calculator V 2.0 using a single proportion formula based on data from previous relevant research [ 20 , 21 ]; (proportion ( p ) = 86%, precision = 10%, alpha error = 0.05, power = 0.8). The minimum sample size required was 47.…”

“…The literature is scarce on studies investigating the clinical usage of local anesthesia in pediatric patients [5,[19][20][21][22], and no such study has been conducted previously in Jordan. Therefore, the current study aimed to evaluate the clinical practices and knowledge of local anesthesia in children.…”

“…The questionnaire was generated from some previous surveys in the literature [19][20][21][22] and from a series of questions designed by the authors to gather information related to the clinical administration of local anesthesia and injection techniques in children. The questionnaire was initially piloted with five dentists to ensure its clarity.…”

Aims. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical practices of local anesthesia in children. The study also sought to investigate pediatric dentists’ views on articaine infiltration anesthesia and their willingness to use it to replace the inferior dental nerve block in primary molars. Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional survey was emailed to 183 registered specialists. Descriptive statistics along with chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were used for data analysis. Results. A total of 72 responses were received. The sample consisted of 62 (86.1%) females and 10 (13.8%) males with varying levels of experience. The vast majority of respondents (98.6%) used topical anesthesia in their practice with children. The most frequently used anesthetic agent was 2% lidocaine (72.2%) followed by 4% articaine (54.2%). The entire sample indicated that they frequently find difficulties in dose calculation for their child patient. Gender and level of experience did not significantly influence specialists’ practice or their knowledge of local anesthesia. More than a third (31.9%) of participants were not happy to replace the block anesthesia with articaine infiltration for the treatment of lower primary molars. The most indicated reasons for this unwillingness were lack of effectiveness (11%) and inadequate scientific evidence (11%). Conclusion. Most pediatric dentists used topical anesthesia with children. Lidocaine was the most commonly used injectable local anesthesia. Specialists’ current practices of local anesthesia in children generally conformed well to good standards. However, inadequate knowledge regarding dose calculation was revealed. In addition, specialists’ reluctance to use articaine infiltration instead of the block anesthesia was evident in the current population. Further studies, with larger sample size are encouraged.

“…The researchers also developed a shared protocol for the interview process to assure uniformity in the interviews in order to allow for a review of any subconscious bias related to working with adolescents who had disabilities or had experienced adversities. The transcripts from the interviews were decoded verbatim in order to avoid any bias in terms of what adolescents reported in their drawings (Campbell et al, 2010;Khair, Meerabeau & Gibson, 2015 ;Kuhn, 2003;Dasarraju et al, 2016;Farmer & Porcellato, 2016).…”

Adolescents with behavioral and learning difficulties are at increased risk in relation to psychological and social well-being. This study aimed to investigate the views and experiences of adolescent students, diagnosed with a variety of complex needs such as behavioral, emotional and learning difficulties, to explore potential risk and protective factors that they perceive can enable or constrain resilience. Participants in the study were adolescents both from the UK (n=12) and Greece (n=14), all of whom were receiving additional learning and psychological support in their school settings. A qualitative research design employed the ‘draw and write’ technique in addition to face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Data analysis identified the protective and risk factors that adolescents associated with resilience. Two distinct categories of protective factors emerged from the data: a) personal (positive thoughts, nutrition and achievements) and b) socio-ecological factors (significant others, activities, pets, places). Risk factors were also divided into two categories: a) personal (negative thoughts and feelings and health problems) and b) socio-ecological factors (relational problems). Findings highlight the complex interplay between personal and socio-ecological factors in building resilience in adolescents who are at increased risk in relation to psychological and social well-being.
