Abstract
OBJECTIVES Social prescribing (SP) is a non-medical intervention in which professionals refer patients to a link worker (LW), who connects them with appropriate support. Children and young people (CYP) with neurodisability often have unmet needs and may bypass community initiatives. We undertook a review of hospital-initiated SP for CYP with neurodisability. DESIGN Systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidance and using Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. DATA SOURCES Medline, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science and FutureNHS, searched from 1 January 2000 to 19 October 2023, with no language restrictions. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Studies describing SP interventions for CYP (ages 0-25 years) with neurodisability/neurodivergence. EXCLUSIONS interventions outside of secondary care; with no description; or no LW. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Two researchers independently screened references. Data were charted, summarised, quality assessments performed and narratively reviewed. RESULTS After removal of duplicates, 518 references were identified. Following screening, eight articles (covering five SP schemes) were included. Rahi et al connected 68 families of CYP newly diagnosed with visual impairment to a community LW. Families needed information about social and educational services, and emotional support. Healthcare professionals had more time for clinical issues. Six papers described three different digital interventions supporting in total 86 CYP with traumatic brain injury and their families. Wade et al (2004, 2005a, 2005b) provided a website with core and individualised sessions, and weekly therapist support. Wade et al (2018) provided a smartphone application, website and weekly meetings with an online coach. These interventions boosted social behaviours. Wade et al (2014, 2015) found that online family problem-solving therapy improved overall child functioning compared with self-guided resources. Toutain et al (2009) provided non-medical support to 11 children with fetal alcohol syndrome and their mothers. No outcome data were provided. Studies reported benefits to health, well-being, healthcare usage, knowledge, skills, satisfaction and service delivery. CONCLUSION Literature describing hospital-initiated SP schemes for CYP with neurodisability, while sparse, suggests potential benefit. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022384188.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parental support of child play varies based on child needs; however, how parental play level differs from child play level remains an understudied area of research, especially in relation to specific developmental disabilities. AIMS To preliminarily explore differences in child and parent play levels in age- and IQ-matched children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). METHODS and Procedures: Parent-child dyads were recorded during free-play sessions. Parent/child play levels were coded for highest level achieved during each minute of play. Mean play level and dPlay (difference in parent versus child play level) were calculated across play sessions for each dyad. OUTCOMES AND RESULTS On average, parents of children with FASD demonstrated higher levels of play than other parents. Children with FASD demonstrated higher levels of play than their own parents. In contrast, the play level of parents of children with ASD did not differ from their child's. There were no between-group differences in dPlay. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS This preliminary exploratory study suggests that parents of children with developmental disabilities may differentially 'match' their child's play level. Further research on developmental play levels during parent-child play is warranted.

Zhang P, Xu Z. The Impacts of Family Educational Investment on Mental Health of Chinese Parents: Mediating and Moderating Effects. Int J Public Health 2023; 68:1605566. [PMID: 37332771 PMCID: PMC10272405 DOI: 10.3389/ijph.2023.1605566] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives: This review aims to explore the impact of family educational investment on parents' mental health in China. Through this study, we reveal the current public health challenges and propose some solutions. Methods: Family educational investment takes three forms: economic investment, emotional investment, and time investment. This study examined the mediating effect of social integration and the moderating effect of social participation and workload on the relationship between family educational investment and parental mental health. Results: Economic investment, emotional investment and time investment were all negatively correlated with parental mental health. Social integration could better explain the detrimental effects of family educational investment on parental mental health, and that social participation and workload could play a significant negative and positive moderating role, respectively. Conclusion: Family educational investment, particularly emotional investment, plays an important and negative role in influencing parental mental health. To cope with the increased pressure brought about by educational competition, the state, society, and individuals all need to take measures.

Abstract
COVID-19 rampant has impacted almost all sections of society, and the repercussions were mostly negative experiences for people and have resulted by way of disruption in their daily routines. Academics is one such vital section that has suffered directly because of the inaccessibility of a comfortable educational procedure. Due to a shift in the form of education, most of the student community failed to obtain routine and regular education as the government entirely shuttered educational facilities to limit the spread of disease. In this light, this research attempted to examine the amount of academic stress experienced by students during the COVID-19 Pandemic and the strategies they have adopted to cope with this unheard type of uncertain situation. The findings of the study indicated substantial variations in Academic Stress, Exam Anxiety, and Coping Strategies across various demographic characteristics of the respondents. Another significant finding is that students from poor socio-economic backgrounds and those seeking post-graduate courses are more stressed. As an inference, it is also opined that to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on student performance and psychological well-being, special focus, or techniques for accommodating exam environments by the student should be implemented. To minimize stress, the study also proposed efficient coping techniques to lower the amount of stress in various academic tasks.

Co-Design of an Intervention to Increase the Participation in Leisure Activities Including Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy with GMFCS Levels IV and V: A Study Protocol. J Clin Med 2022; 12:jcm12010182. [PMID: 36614983 PMCID: PMC9821276 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12010182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2022] [Revised: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
The participation of adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) within the community is reduced compared to their peers and is a barrier to their socialization, self-determination and quality of life. Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) is a key strategy for successful interventions, especially when involvement of the stakeholders takes place at all stages of the research. Co-design can be crucial for success as researchers, patients with CP and their families work together to bring the necessary elements to the interventions to be designed. The objectives will be: (1) To co-design an intervention aimed at improving the participation of adolescents with significant motor disabilities within the community in partnership with adolescents with CP, families and rehabilitation professionals. (2) To assess the feasibility of the co-design process in partnership with interested parties. The study will be based on Participatory Action Research (PAR) and will be held in Spain and Brazil. In both countries, the study will be carried out remotely with nine adolescents aged 12 to 17 years with CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels IV-V, their families and six health professionals (physiotherapists and occupational therapists). Different dialogue groups will be created to involve adolescents, families and health professionals to the research's project. To manage their involvement in the co-design process, the Involvement Matrix (IM) will be used, and according to the IM phases, four steps will be included in the research: (1) Preparation; (2) Co-design; (3) Analysis: results of the intervention protocol and the study's feasibility and (4) Dissemination of results. Partnering with the public to design an intervention to improve participation can bring better results compared to protocols designed only by health professionals. In addition, it will allow for knowing the needs of adolescents with CP in terms of participation within the community. The study will also explore which roles were chosen by all participants and how they felt while actively participating in the process of co-designing an intervention protocol and their own perspectives on the use of the involvement matrix.

Abstract
Purpose: To synthesize knowledge about social participation interventions targeting relational outcomes for young people with physical and developmental disabilities.Method: An umbrella review with a narrative synthesis was conducted to integrate findings of review articles examining social participation interventions targeting relational outcomes (e.g., peer interaction and friendships). Six databases were searched to identify reviews published between 2010 and 2021.Results: Five reviews were identified, examining participation interventions, social/community integration interventions, recreational sport programs, online peer mentorship programs, and augmentative and alternative communication interventions to promote social interaction with peers. Interventions associated with improvements in relational outcomes included group-based programs, programs involving personalized goals, arts-based programs, and multi-component social communication interventions. Recommendations for future research included better description of interventions to identify active ingredients and key mechanisms, measurement of participants' experiences, and the need for interventions to be aligned with the nature of the outcomes examined. Preliminary intervention principles are proposed to guide the design of social participation interventions: individualizing, contextualizing, and immersion in social settings.Conclusions: There are multiple pathways by which to influence the relational outcomes of young people with disabilities. There are implications for the design of social participation interventions based on an ecological/experiential and relational perspective.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONImprovements in relational outcomes are associated with participation in group-based programs, programs involving personalized goals, arts-based programs, and multi-component social communication interventions.Three evidence-informed principles can help guide the design of social participation interventions: (1) personalizing, (2) contextualizing, and (3) immersion in social settings.Greater attention to aligning the nature of intervention with desired outcomes is needed to more effectively measure and promote relational outcomes.

Social activity as mediator between social support and psychological quality of life among people with rare diseases: A national repetitive cross-sectional study. J Psychiatr Res 2022; 150:147-152. [PMID: 35378487 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2022.03.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2022] [Revised: 03/11/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Considerable proportion of people with rare diseases (RDs) have suffered from severe mental health problems. However, specific attention on the psychological quality of life (QoL) of people with RDs is sparse. Evidence documented the benefits of social support and social activity on recipients' mental health and overall QoL, but no corresponding study answered how both social support and social activity work on the psychological QoL among people with RDs. This study aims to report the psychological QoL and evaluate the mediating role of social activity between social support and psychological QoL among people with RDs. METHODS Data were from two national repetitive cross-sectional surveys, conducted in China in February 2016 and February 2018. In this study, eligible people were those aged 18 or above and had clinical-diagnosed RDs. Psychological QoL was measured by the subdomain of World Health Organization Quality of Life: Brief Version. Social support was measured by the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey. Social activity was measured with seven items selected from the measurement on leisure activities used by the Chinese General Social Survey. Using the mediation model, we assessed the direct and indirect (via social activity) association between social support and psychological QoL, both on overall and subtypes of RDs. We controlled for a variety of potential socioeconomic and demographic confounding factors. RESULTS Of the 2403 adults studied, their average score of psychological QoL was 42.49 out of 100. The psychological QoL was directly associated with received emotional/information support (coefficient = 0.159, 95% CI = [0.093, 0.231], p < 0.0001) and positive social interaction (coefficient = 0.159, 95% CI = [0.097, 0.221], p < 0.0001). The psychological QoL was indirectly (via social activity) associated with received tangible support (coefficient = -0.035, 95% CI = [-0.046, -0.025], p < 0.0001) and positive social interaction (coefficient = 0.056, 95% CI = [0.040, 0.074], p < 0.0001). Above results by subtypes of RDs were also reported. LIMITATIONS The causal inference was not able to be investigated due to the cross-sectional study design. CONCLUSION People with RDs suffered from a low psychological QoL. Social activity mediated the association between social support and psychological QoL, but its mediating role depended on the subscales of social support as well as the subtypes of RDs. Customized measures based on the type of RDs and support that will be provided could perhaps improve the psychological QoL of people with RDs directly and indirectly.

Abstract
Background The perception of a disorder could be of importance both in problem solving behaviors, and in the emotional approach towards a disorder. Aims In this paper, we wanted to assess changes in illness perception in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) over a four-year interval, to compare parental and self-ratings, and to assess illness perceptions according to co-occurring medical and psychiatric disorders. Methods Parents in a cohort of children with CP (N = 36), filled in the Illness Perception Questionnaire at age seven and again at age eleven, and self-reports were gathered at age eleven. Stability across time, informant differences and scores according to motor function, intellectual disability and the prevalence of psychiatric disorders were assessed. Results We found stable parental perceptions across a four –year interval. Parents reported significantly higher impact of CP on the child, than that reported by the child itself. In children with a more severe motor disability and/or co-occurring psychiatric disorders, parents reported significantly higher median scores for perceived impact of the CP condition on symptoms, duration of the condition, and impact on leisure activities, compared to those who had less severe motor disability and/or intellectual abilities within the normal range. Conclusions We propose that illness perception should be included in the follow-up of children with CP, as it may provide a mutual understanding between the child/family and professionals involved in follow-up services, with possible impact on treatment adherence and outcome of the condition. Parents reported significantly more negative impact of CP than their children. Parents reported stable perception of their child's CP across a four-year period. Parents and children reported significant impact of CP on leisure activities. Impact of CP was significant in children with co-occurring psychiatric disorders.
