“…This could potentially influence the representativeness of the sample as well. As reported previously, parental concern is the significant factor influencing child development and these factors need to be taken into account in research in developmental psychology (Algarvio and Leal, 2016). Additionally, older children tend to have better gross motor skills and lower scores on expressive communication.…”

IntroductionThe Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development–third edition (Bayley-III) is one of the most widely used tools for assessing child development, and adapted versions of this instrument have been successfully used in many countries. No comprehensive psychometric studies of the Bayley-III have yet been performed in Russia.Materials and methodsThis psychometric study was part of the longitudinal study conducted by the Ural Federal University in 2016–2020. Within the project, the original Bayley-III manual was translated into Russian and then used in a cohort of 333 infants to assess cognition, expressive/receptive communication, and fine/gross motor skills. For the purpose of psychometric analysis, we selected the data for four age groups of children from the longitudinal study database: 4–6 months (N = 149), 10 months (N = 138), 15 months (N = 151), and 24 months (N = 124). The development scores of the sample children were compared with the original Bayley-III norms in each age strata separately. Reliability and validity of the translated instrument were examined using correlation analysis, tests of internal consistency, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).ResultsThe average scaled scores of the examined children were generally comparable with the original (US) Bayley-III norms, with the exception of those older than 1 year, who demonstrated 1.2–1.9 points better performance in cognitive development and gross motor skills and 0.9–2.6 points lower performance in expressive communication. The correlation of both raw and scaled scores between different scales was low to moderate in all age groups (Spearman’s ρ mostly within the range of 0.3–0.6; p < 0.001 for all pairwise correlations). Internal consistency tests confirmed high reliability of the translated instrument (Cronbach’s α = 0.74–0.87, McDonald’s ω = 0.79–0.89). CFA demonstrated a good fit of the three-factor model (cognitive, communicative, and motor components) in all age strata.ConclusionThe Russian version of the Bayley-III proved to be a psychometrically valid and reliable tool for assessing child development, at least in a research context. The development of the examined children was close to the original US norms, with some deviation in cognitive, gross motor, and expressive communication scores mostly in older children, which could be attributed to the biased sample.

“…Yet, the literature on approaching death of PWAC have often been limited to the term “parental concerns” (Muriel et al, 2012; Moore et al, 2015; Park et al, 2016, 2017, 2018) rather than the broader concept of dying concerns. Parental concerns are emotional concerns for the well-being and development of the child (Algarvio and Leal, 2016). They focus on one role of the PWAC: being a parent.…”

Dying concerns in young parents with advanced cancer (PWAC): A scoping review

2020

Background Advanced cancer in young parents (PWAC) can increase dying concerns, the fluctuating thoughts, or feelings, conscious, or unconscious, about an approaching death by a person facing a terminal illness or a family member coping with the impending death of a loved one. However, limited research has been conducted to identify dying concerns in an ill parent as the research has focused on older adults. Objective Our goal was to identify dying concerns that PWAC are expressing and to understand how these concerns affect measurable outcomes. Method CINHAL, MEDLINE, PsychARTICLES, PsycINFO, Social Work Abstracts, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, and Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection were searched. Articles included were samples of PWAC, peer-reviewed, and published within the last 10 years. Elderly or pediatric populations, PWAC with adult children, and early-stage cancer were excluded. The initial search resulted in 1,526 articles, 18 were identified as potentially relevant. Fourteen articles were identified and reviewed. Results PWAC expressed concerns for their children (n = 11), concerns for their co-parent (n = 4), and personal concerns (n = 11). Additionally, PWAC have decreased quality of life, have significant emotional and psychological distress, and have increased family dysfunction in relation to their concerns. Samples limit the generalizability of the findings. Majority of the articles consisted of White, upper, middle-class (n = 8) women (n = 7) diagnosed with breast cancer (n = 11) within nuclear families (n = 11). Significance of results Dying concerns are described in the literature from a fairly narrow sample of PWAC. Future research should focus on recruiting participants from diverse backgrounds, genders, diagnosis types, and non-nuclear families. Identifying concerns for the co-parent would also add to the understanding of dying concerns.

“…There is an extensive body of research concerning the identi cation of parental concerns regarding speci c groups of parents, determined medical conditions or different children's problems [15]. The results of a longitudinal study indicated that negative behaviours were the most frequent cause for concern and that there were certain ages (2-3 years old) that caused more concern in parents [16].…”

Background and objectiveWhile previous researchers provide insights into parental concerns about emotional, developmental, or behavioural problems in children, it is not known how children's complaints and possible medical conditions related to these complaints impact parent concerns. The aim of this study is to investigate concerns of parents visiting a family physician to request screening tests for their own child.MethodsOur sample was 407 children aged 2-16 years visiting a family physician for screening in Rize, a city in the Black Sea (Northern part) Region of Turkey, from January 2019 to January 2020. After January 2020, the researchers contacted 407 parents of the children by telephone and they completed the questionnaire via phone calls. The questionnaire includes sociodemographic data, parents’ opinion about screening tests, parent concern scores, children's complaints and probable medical conditions related with those complaints during the visit. The data was analyzed using the SPSS (SPSS v26) statistical analysis program.ResultsThe mean age of the children was 7.9 ± 4.2 years and the mean age of the parents was 31.7 ± 8.3 years. Of the parents, 65.8% (n=268) were female and of the children, 54.1% (n=220) were male. Of the parents, 60.0% (n=244) had concerns when they requested screening tests for their own child. Of the children, 40.0% (n=163) had no complaints. Of the parents, 56.8% (n=231) were not in favor of requesting a screening test for their child if he/she had no complaints. There was a significant relationship between parents’ opinion about screening tests and parent concerns/children’s complaints (p<0.001). Children’s complaints and probable medical conditions related with the complaints had significant impact on the mean score of parent concerns (p<0.001).ConclusionsThis study has shown that most of the children who underwent screening were not asymptomatic and most of the parents who requested screening tests for their own child had concerns related with their child's complaint/s. The concerns of parents were the main motivation for requesting screening.
