“…Cognitive impairments, including executive functioning deficits, can make it challenging for these children to plan, initiate, and complete self-care tasks. Moreover, fine motor skill developmental disorders in children with moderate to severe ASD further compound these challenges [9] . Fine motor skills are the ability to make movements using the small muscles in our hands and wrists.…”

This study investigated the current status of self-care abilities in children with autism in the first, second, and third grades. A questionnaire survey was used to investigate the current status of self-care abilities in children with autism attending a special education school in Beijing. The survey covered seven aspects of self-care abilities: drinking, eating, dressing, toilet, hygiene, home life, and safety. Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS to analyze the impact of gender, grade, and the severity of the disorder on self-care abilities. There is no difference in self-care abilities among children with autism across different genders and grades. However, there is a significant difference in self-care abilities among severity of the disorder (p<0.001). For children with autism, especially those were moderate to severe, improving self-care abilities is challenging. In the adaptation education, it is necessary to carry out targeted educational activities based on the severity of the disorder.

“…Diabetes self-care includes duties like self-monitoring blood glucose levels, eating a low-fat diet, and checking one’s feet. Due to the complexity of self-care, it is important to evaluate each component separately rather than adding up scores [7]. The 5 A’s behavior change model is a practical, evidence-based approach to behavior change in a variety of chronic conditions.…”

Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition characterized by abnormally high blood glucose levels that eventually results in catastrophic damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. The available data from previous studies on the application of the 5 A’s model-based self-management program to increase knowledge and self-care practices in children are insufficient. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a self-management program based on the 5 A’s paradigm on school-aged children with type 1 diabetes. Methods: The research design was quasi-experimental. The investigation was conducted at EL Mogamma EL Teby AL Shamal diabetes facility. This study enrolled a convenience sample of 90 children who were accompanied by their moms. Five tools were utilized to collect the data: questionnaire for children’s examination; questionnaire for diabetic knowledge; a questionnaire on diabetes self-care; Diabetic Attitude Scale; and self-care practices for diabetics. Results: A total of 72.2%, 90.0%, 91.1%, 93.3%, and 96.7% of youngsters, respectively, lacked knowledge, engaged in ineffective self-care activities, had a negative attitude, and practiced incompetently. Differences between pre- and post-program implementation are statistically significant when a self-management program based on the 5 A’s model is implemented. Discussion/Conclusions: Self-management and self-care models, particularly the 5 A model, are helpful at improving the control of these symptoms, reducing associated problems, enhancing nursing care, and enhancing patients’ quality of life. Increasing the duration of a self-management program based on the 5 A’s model for children with type 1 diabetes reduces negative attitudes and improves quality of life but requires follow-up.

There is policy impetus for provision of self-care support (SCS) for children with long-term conditions (LTCs). However, it is not clear what SCS should consist of and how it can be delivered in routine care. This review aimed to synthesise the literature, specifically on SCS of diet and the gut as these components are essential for optimal growth and development and enhanced quality of life. Using an integrative review methodology, studies conducted between January 1990 and July 2020 were systematically identified and methodological quality assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Twenty-five studies were included. SCS of diet and the gut consisted of support in developing and applying specific knowledge and skills and practical help with incorporating the demands of self-care into everyday life. Key requisites for models of SCS in the context of delivery and uptake in routine care were starting early, keeping it going, being flexible and choosing appropriate outcomes. This review contributes new understanding on the provision of SCS of diet and the gut for school-age children with LTCs, including identification of gaps in the literature and further research needs.
