Ecological Momentary Assessment of Parental Well-Being and Time Use: Mixed Methods Compliance and Feasibility Study

Ecological Momentary Assessment of Parental Well-Being and Time Use: Mixed Methods Compliance and Feasibility Study

However, daily routines and associated (poor) well-being among parents have received relatively little attention, for instance, using real-time assessment methods, such as ecological momentary assessment (EMA) or experience sampling methods. Given that parents’ well-being is not only important for their own health but also for their children’s [3,4], further research into the feasibility and implementation of EMA in parents is important.

A Conversational Agent Using Natural Language Processing for Postpartum Care for New Mothers: Development and Engagement Analysis

A Conversational Agent Using Natural Language Processing for Postpartum Care for New Mothers: Development and Engagement Analysis

The average patient age was 28.8 (SD 5.47) years, 112 out of 290 (38.6%) patients were first time parents, 134 (46%) had private insurance, and 163 (56%) were Black (Table 1). This distribution is representative of the population at our large urban academic medical center. Of these 290 patients, 286 (98.6%) responded to the platform at least once, with 271 (93.4%) completing at least one survey, 151 (52%) asking a question (prompted or unprompted), and 162 (55.9%) interacting by a pleasantry.

Demographics and Use of an Addiction Helpline for Concerned Significant Others: Observational Study

Demographics and Use of an Addiction Helpline for Concerned Significant Others: Observational Study

This study focused on a subset of parents who contacted the Partnership helpline between 2014 and 2018 and were then referred to the Partnership’s Peer Coaching service after their helpline contact. Of the 279 parents in the Peer Coaching sample, most were mothers (88%) who were concerned about their sons (69%). LOs were mostly adolescents aged 13-17 years (43%) and young adults aged 18-24 years (40%).

Designing eHealth Interventions for Pediatric Emergency Departments: Protocol for a Usability Testing Study With Youth, Parent, and Clinician Participants

Designing eHealth Interventions for Pediatric Emergency Departments: Protocol for a Usability Testing Study With Youth, Parent, and Clinician Participants

This represents a significant research-to-practice gap as youth and their parents (eg, parents, caregivers, and/or legal guardians) are typically early adopters of e Health interventions, and their insights could benefit broader adoption. Health services researchers need guidance on how to conduct or adapt usability tests to ensure that end users are appropriately involved in design.

Exploring Stress and Stress-Reduction With Caregivers and Clinicians in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to Inform Intervention Development: Qualitative Interview Study

Exploring Stress and Stress-Reduction With Caregivers and Clinicians in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to Inform Intervention Development: Qualitative Interview Study

Thirteen caregivers (12 parents and 1 grandparent) completed interviews and experienced NICU stays with 10 infants (8 singletons and 1 set of twins). Although we aimed to recruit multiple types of caregivers (ie, parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles) in this study, only 1 nonparent caregiver was successfully recruited.

Parental Perceptions of Priorities and Features for a Mobile App to Promote Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors in Preschool Children: Mixed Methods Evaluation

Parental Perceptions of Priorities and Features for a Mobile App to Promote Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors in Preschool Children: Mixed Methods Evaluation

In light of limited existing evidence, we sought to design a mobile app geared toward parents of preschool-aged (2- to 5-year-old) children, integrating guided goal setting across the domains of diet, physical activity, media use, and sleep. During the formative stage of app development, we sought to integrate feedback from parents with children in our target age range in order to assess major areas of interest and ways the app could best meet their needs.

Implementing Diabetes Distress Screening in a Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic Using a Digital Health Platform: Quantitative Secondary Data Analysis

Implementing Diabetes Distress Screening in a Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic Using a Digital Health Platform: Quantitative Secondary Data Analysis

In children aged 8‐12 years, as many as 40% of youth and 61% of their parents or caregivers experience at least some DD [7]. Notably, DD is occurring at higher rates, on average, than depression in pediatric populations with diabetes [8,9]. Increased levels of DD relate to deficits in diabetes self-management behaviors, increased glycated hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c), and negative impacts on mental health and well-being [4,6].

Understanding Individual Differences in Happiness Sources and Implications for Health Technology Design: Exploratory Analysis of an Open Dataset

Understanding Individual Differences in Happiness Sources and Implications for Health Technology Design: Exploratory Analysis of an Open Dataset

Parents placed more discussion around the well-being of their families and children, whereas nonparents placed their emphasis on friends, games, eating out, pets, and watching television [13]. Unmarried people focused mostly on dating, friendship, food, and exercise as sources of happiness, whereas married people focused mainly on children and family [13]. Age brackets also differed in how they expressed happiness [13].

Engagement With an Internet-Administered, Guided, Low-Intensity Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Intervention for Parents of Children Treated for Cancer: Analysis of Log-Data From the ENGAGE Feasibility Trial

We conducted a single-arm feasibility trial (ENGAGE) [30-32] to examine the acceptability and feasibility of an internet-administered, guided, low-intensity cognitive behavioral therapy (LICBT) intervention for parents of children treated for cancer: EJDe R (Swedish acronym: int Ernetbaserad s Jälvhjälp för föräl Drar till barn som avslutat en behandling mot cance R [Internet-based self-help for parents of children who have completed cancer treatment]) [33-38].
