    Effect of parental depression level on children's quality of life after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2017) Sengul, Zeynep Kisecik; Altay, Naime
    Purpose: This descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to determine the impact of parental depression level on children's quality of life after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Method: This study was conducted in a bone marrow transplantation unit of a children's hospital in Ankara, Turkey. The research sample consisted of 82 parents. Children aged 2-18 years and monitored in polyclinics 100 days after HSCT were included in the study. A sociodemographic data form, parent forms of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used. Results: Forty (48%) mothers and 42 (51.2%) fathers participated in the study. Of the children, 30 (36.6%) were female and 52 (63.4%) were male, and their mean age was 10.68 [standard deviation (SD) 4.80] years. Twenty-six children (31.7%) had been diagnosed with thalassaemia, and 29 children (35.4%) had undergone HSCT in the previous 25-36 months. The mean total scale score on the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory was 61.37 (SD 21.85), and the mean parental BDI Score was 14.57 (SD 11.03). Fourteen (17.1%) parents had severe depression and 10 (12.2%) parents had moderate depression. Low statistical correlation was found between the parental BDI score and the total scale score on the Pediatric Quality of Life (r = -0.281; P = 0.011). Conclusion: Parental depression level affects children's quality of life after HSCT. Following transplantation, it is important to evaluate parental depression level and provide support.

    Intergenerational exploration of traditional practices affecting child health: A phenomenological study
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) Sengul, Zeynep Kisecik; Salik, Hava; Basaran, Fatma; Duru, Pinar
    Background: All over the world, various traditional practices affect child health. The aim of our research was to explore the changes in traditional practices that affect child health between generations and to investigate the life experiences of generations in depth. Methods: Using a phenomenological design, this study was conducted with semi-structured interviews with families of both generations (mothers and daughters). The study was written based on the COREQ checklist. Findings: Four themes (traditional practices and intergenerational differences, beliefs/emotions related to traditional practices, influence factors in traditional practices, traditional methods in child care) and fourteen sub-themes (change in practices between generations, intergenerational transmission of traditional practices, beliefs in perceived benefits, skepticism and disbelief attitude, emotional reactions and perceiving as unnecessary, mother/mother in-law, traditional knowledge from mothers and grandmothers, family elders, the role of the internet and social media, spiritual practices, use of herbal products, alternative applications to medicines, relaxing applications, health consequences of traditional practices) were generated from the data. Discussion: According to the findings, some harmless traditional practices are still relevant across generations, while harmful practices are mostly abandoned by new generations. The level of education and access to information has led the new generation to question traditional practices and show more interest in scientific knowledge-based methods. Application to practice: This research can contribute to advances in child health by helping us understand beliefs, feelings, and influencing factors related to traditional practices. Maternal education and community awarenessraising campaigns can be used to reduce harmful traditional practices.

    Objective: This experimental randomized controlled trial will be to examine the impact of a technology-based psychosocial motivation program on children and families who are being followed up on a diagnosis of cancer. Methods: The research is based on the "Transactional Model of Stress and Coping." This study will be conducted on children with leukemia, aged 9-18 years, and their parents, who will be followed in the consolidation treatment phase in the hematology wards and outpatient clinic of a university hospital. Data collection will consist of the children's and parents' descriptive characteristic form, the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory for Parents, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, the Pediatric Cancer Coping Scale, the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, and process evaluation forms. A 10-week program will be implemented for the children in the intervention group through web-based training, coaching interviews and counseling via video mobile calls, mobile messages and children's stories, progressive muscle relaxation and breathing exercises, and imagination interventions. During the same period, parents will also receive web-based training, coaching sessions, counseling, mobile messages, and progressive muscle relaxation exercises. Results: It is thought that after the intervention the stress level of the child and the family will decrease, the coping skills of the children will improve, and their quality of life will increase. Conclusions: It is thought that the treatment process can be affected positively by providing psychosocial support to children and their families who receive cancer treatment.
