Parental Care00:55

Parental Care

11.7K
Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

4.8K
The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

2.4K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Socioemotional Development during Infancy

54
Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

Spermatogenesis01:41

Spermatogenesis

102.4K
Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid sperm cells are produced in the male testes. It starts with stem cells located close to the outer rim of seminiferous tubules. These spermatogonial stem cells divide asymmetrically to give rise to additional stem cells (meaning that these structures “self-renew”), as well as sperm progenitors, called spermatocytes. Importantly, this method of asymmetric mitotic division maintains a population of spermatogonial stem cells in the male...

Zygotic Development And Stem Cell Formation01:10

Zygotic Development And Stem Cell Formation

5.2K
The development of all multicellular organisms starts with the fusion of haploid cells called sperm and egg to form a diploid zygote. A zygote is a totipotent cell that can develop into a complete organism. The zygote undergoes cell division or cleavage to form an 8-cell mass. Until this stage, the cells are spherical, loosely attached, and remain totipotent. Totipotent cells are capable of developing both the embryonic and the extraembryonic tissues. However, as they continue to divide, they...

Area of Science:

  • Perinatal Bereavement
  • Digital Health Interventions
  • Grief Support

Background:

  • Perinatal loss profoundly impacts expecting parents, yet fathers' grief often lacks adequate support services.
  • Existing research has not translated into effective support for grieving fathers.
  • Fathers' unique needs in perinatal bereavement require targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a multi-stage co-design process for creating text message support tailored to fathers experiencing perinatal loss.
  • To develop a user-centered digital intervention for bereaved fathers.
  • To ensure the developed support aligns with clinical practice and parental needs.

Main Methods:

  • A collaborative co-design approach involving bereaved parents, a perinatal bereavement organization, and clinicians.
  • Utilized surveys to identify fathers' information needs, followed by qualitative analysis to generate message topics.
  • Iterative evaluation and revision of text messages by parents with lived experience and clinicians.

Main Results:

  • A survey of 959 respondents indicated strong agreement on the need for father-specific support.
  • Co-design generated 52 finalized text messages across three themes, deemed important and understandable.
  • Evaluations confirmed messages' clinical relevance (92.5%) and suitability for bereaved fathers.

Conclusions:

  • A co-design methodology is effective for developing text-based support for bereaved fathers.
  • The developed messages align with clinical practice and address needs identified by bereaved parents.
  • This approach provides a scalable model for digital grief support interventions.
