Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

284
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Intellectual Disability01:29

Intellectual Disability

665
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

580
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

3.6K
Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

3.1K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Introduction to Developmental Psychology01:27

Introduction to Developmental Psychology

1.4K
Developmental psychology explores the changes and continuities in human abilities throughout life, encompassing physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social dimensions. Human development is not restricted to growth, but includes aspects of decline, particularly in physical abilities as individuals age. Developmental psychologists seek to understand how people change as they age and how their mental and social skills evolve.Developmental MilestonesA key concept in developmental psychology is...

Summary

Digital serious games show promise for children with developmental disabilities, aiding in areas like emotional regulation and rehabilitation. However, more clinical evidence is needed to confirm their benefits for neurodevelopmental disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Rehabilitation
  • Digital Health Interventions
  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Background:

  • Children with developmental disabilities often require support for motor, cognitive, and social skills.
  • Digital interactive games offer a potential supplementary approach to standard treatments.
  • This review focuses on serious games designed for children with developmental disabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review clinical studies on the application of serious games in children with developmental disabilities.
  • To identify the types of neurodevelopmental disorders and specific game applications investigated.
  • To assess the reported outcomes and evidence base for serious games in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Searched MEDLINE and Scopus databases for English-language studies published before May 2019.
  • Included participants aged 2-24 years with neurodevelopmental disorders receiving digital serious game interventions.
  • Considered all study designs reporting primary data, analyzing titles, abstracts, and full texts.

Main Results:

  • 145 relevant studies were identified, primarily focusing on autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, DCD, and intellectual disabilities.
  • 30 studies employed a randomized design.
  • Six specific game applications for ASD, ADHD, cerebral palsy, and Down syndrome were detailed.

Conclusions:

  • Promising results were observed for anxiety reduction, stress regulation, emotion recognition, and rehabilitation.
  • There is currently limited clinical evidence to definitively support the benefits of serious games for children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
  • Further research is warranted to establish the efficacy of serious games in pediatric neurodevelopmental interventions.
