“…In a recent quasi experimental study by Asscher, Hermanns and Deković (2008) positive effects were reported by mothers: improvements in maternal competence, less depressive feelings, more consistent parenting behaviour and decreased negative controlling behaviour. Moreover, Asscher, Dekovic, Prinzie, and Hermanns (2008) showed that results were of clinical significance, since at post-test a substantial number (39% to 84%) of the Home-Start mothers functioned in the domains of maternal well-being, parenting behaviour and child behaviour at a level equivalent to that of a community sample. Dekovic et al(2010) tested the mechanisms of change of the HomeStart and found that intervention results were consistent with the hypothesised intervention model: Home-Start induced changes in feelings of parental competence which in turn predicted changes in parenting.…”

“…Our findings emphasize the significance of shared decision-making and patient autonomy in the clinical encounter, acknowledging that informed patients are better equipped to actively participate in their orthodontic journey. This aligns with the evolving landscape of healthcare, where transparency not only serves ethical principles but is also instrumental in fostering a patient-centered approach and optimizing overall treatment outcomes [78,79].…”

This study explores the complexities of risk communication practices in orthodontics, specifically examining the perspectives of orthodontists in Greece and Slovakia. Informed by the foundational importance of effective communication in health sciences, particularly in facilitating valid consent and shared decision-making, this research addresses gaps identified in the literature concerning the consistent communication of potential treatment risks based on demographic and cultural characteristics. The study identifies 15 potential critical risks with orthodontic treatment. These risks include root necrosis; temporary undesired changes to the occlusion; sleep difficulties; not achieving an ideal result; development of black triangles between teeth; taking additional X-rays; speech difficulties; using a protective splint during sports; duration of treatment; number of visits; transmission of infectious diseases; and swallowing orthodontic appliances. The questionnaire, distributed electronically to orthodontists in Greece (n=570) and Slovakia (n=210) from Sept. 2022 to Dec. 2022, aimed to assess risk communication practices, with consideration to country, gender, and degree-related variations. 168 valid questionnaires (91 from Slovakia and 77 from Greece) were obtained indicating significant disparities in the risks emphasized and preferred forms of consent. The Greek orthodontists focused more on the risks involved such as on relapse, root resorption, temporal occlusal changes, and failure of desired movement, while the Slovak practitioners tend to be interested more about sleeping difficulties, temporal occlusal changes and not achieving an ideal result. They also tend to obtain written or digital consent from patients or their parents/guardians more frequently than the Greek team. Male orthodontists discussed specific risks more frequently, including relapse and extractions, whereas females preferred written or digital consent. PhD-trained orthodontists prioritized certain risks, indicating the need for tailored approaches. This study underscores the dynamic nature of risk assessment in orthodontic practice, emphasizing its ethical and strategic dimensions. The findings advocate for tailored risk communication strategies, that recognize individual, contextual, and cultural factors and the need of an orthodontic informed consent protocol for tailored communication approach for patients to elevate the standard of care in European orthodontics. The reliance on digital tools reflects contemporary trends in enhancing patient understanding, thereby supporting ongoing innovation in orthodontic practices.

“…By examining not just the comparable differences between groups, but also the significance of change over time, it was found there was significant change in mothers' wellbeing and in depression levels. Parental behavior improved significantly according to parents' reports, although no change was identified in most observational parental measures [49].…”

Post-natal home visits have been shown to be one of the most effective ways to prevent child maltreatment and reduce risks among children. Unfortunately, these programs tend to be expensive and thus not accessible or practical in many contexts. To address this problem, this paper reviews the literature on home visits conducted shortly after giving birth, considering different types of programs and their outcomes, while focusing on short-term and volunteer-based programs, two approaches that can answer the gap in accessibility. It then introduces a new, innovative, short-term, home visiting program that was developed in Israel. This post-natal program is uniquely structured as volunteer-based to allow it to be culturally informed and inexpensive and therefore accessible to municipalities. The paper describes how experts in the field developed the program and how the volunteers were trained. It elaborates on the protocol for the three defined home visits, each with a specific focus: (1) preventing risks at home, (2) providing parents with emotional support and tools to deal with stress, and (3) connecting them to community resources. We detail the pilot implementation process and some of the challenges that arise. Finally, we describe the design of the evaluation study that is currently collecting data in an Arab town in the north of Israel, with a final discussion on insights gained thus far from the overall process in light of the literature.
