A Review of Apps for Calming, Relaxation, and Mindfulness Interventions for Pediatric Palliative Care Patients.

A Review of Apps for Calming, Relaxation, and Mindfulness Interventions for Pediatric Palliative Care Patients.

Children (Basel). 2018 Jan 26;5(2):

Authors: Weekly T, Walker N, Beck J, Akers S, Weaver M

Abstract
Patients and families increasingly use mobile apps as a relaxation and distraction intervention for children with complex, chronic medical conditions in the waiting room setting or during inpatient hospitalizations; and yet, there is limited data on app quality assessment or review of these apps for level of engagement, functionality, aesthetics, or applicability for palliative pediatric patients. The pediatric palliative care study team searched smartphone application platforms for apps relevant to calming, relaxation, and mindfulness for pediatric and adolescent patients. Apps were reviewed using a systematic data extraction tool. Validated Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS) scores were determined by two blinded reviewers. Apps were then characterized by infant, child, adolescent, and adult caregiver group categories. Reviewer discussion resulted in consensus. Sixteen of the 22 apps identified were included in the final analysis. The apps operated on either iOS or Android platforms. All were available in English with four available in Spanish. Apps featured a relaxation approach (12/16), soothing images (8/16), and breathing techniques (8/16). Mood and sleep patterns were the main symptoms targeted by apps. Provision of mobile apps resource summary has the potential to foster pediatric palliative care providers' knowledge of app functionality and applicability as part of ongoing patient care.

Care Through the Newborn's Eyes.

Care Through the Newborn's Eyes.

J Perinat Neonatal Nurs. 2018 Jan/Mar;32(1):80-90

Authors: Francis K, Pugsley L

Abstract
Separation of mothers and infants after birth is standard practice for many hospitals, yet not evidence-based. Nonseparation clearly has numerous benefits. However, newborns lack a voice to make choices to direct their course of care. The evidence supports nonseparation strategies for mothers and infants that promote attachment, physiologic regulation, nutrition, sleep, communication, and management of stress/pain. Moreover, the evidence is compelling that nonseparation is essential. The time has come to act on the evidence and begin seeing the care we provide through the newborn's eyes.

Severe obstructive sleep apnea in children with elevated blood pressure.

Severe obstructive sleep apnea in children with elevated blood pressure.

J Am Soc Hypertens. 2018 Jan 03;:

Authors: Hinkle J, Connolly HV, Adams HR, Lande MB

Abstract
The objective was to determine the prevalence of habitual snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a cohort of children referred for elevated blood pressure (BP), and to determine the association between OSA and BP elevation, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems. We performed a retrospective review of 446 consecutive new patients referred for elevated BP. One hundred four (23%) had habitual snoring. Patients with habitual snoring were more likely to be obese (86.5 vs. 55.6%, P < .001) and to have Medicaid insurance (52.4 vs. 36%, P = .004). Seventy-four patients had polysomnography, of which 57 (77%) had OSA; 21 (37%) had severe OSA. Severe OSA was associated with higher office systolic BP index after adjusting for body mass index, age, sex, and socioeconomic status (β = 0.07, P = .014). Fifty-two percent of patients with severe OSA had office systolic BP in the Stage 2 hypertension range. Children with habitual snoring or OSA were not at increased risk of receiving school services for a learning disability or receiving medications for inattention or mood problems. In summary, habitual snoring is common in children referred for elevated BP, and those with severe OSA are at higher risk of significantly increased BP.
