Child's Participation (child + participation)
Selected AbstractsEthical Considerations for a Child's Participation in ResearchJOURNAL FOR SPECIALISTS IN PEDIATRIC NURSING, Issue 1 2004Sheri Kanner MSN ISSUES AND PURPOSE To analyze ethical considerations for a child's involvement in research. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric research can proceed only when the welfare of children is protected. Although research with children as research subjects constitutes only a small portion of research efforts, its continual growth requires nurses be aware of the rights of pediatric subjects. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS As nursing research increases in sophistication, the nurse should include an assessment of the informed consent process in the care of the patient, including the child's comprehension, the age and development of the child, and the child's perception of the research. [source] Laws and policies to support the wellbeing of children: an international comparative analysisINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL WELFARE, Issue 1 2010Emily J. Nicklett Nicklett EJ, Perron BE. Laws and policies to support the wellbeing of children: an international comparative analysis Int J Soc Welfare 2010: 3,7 © 2009 The Author(s), Journal compilation © 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the International Journal of Social Welfare. The international community has raised concerns regarding the extent to which countries have implemented laws and policies to support the rights and wellbeing of children. This study evaluates the progress of least-developed countries (LDCs) and middle-income countries (MICs) in developing such legislation. Surveys were sent to 131 UNICEF country offices. Items included efforts to promote family preservation and family ties, family-based care over institutionalization, and child participation in placement decisions. A total of 68 surveys were returned, reflecting a 52 percent response rate (LDC, n= 25; MIC, n= 43). Legislation that addressed abuse and neglect of children, maternity leave, removal of children from the family, family care, adoption, and guardianship was widespread. Chi-square tests indicated that MICs had a substantially higher number of laws and policies related to child allowances, school feeding programs, maternity leave, and day care. [source] Participation of Children with and without Disabilities in Social, Recreational and Leisure ActivitiesJOURNAL OF APPLIED RESEARCH IN INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES, Issue 3 2010Abbie Solish Background, One method of promoting children's friendship development is through activity participation with peers. However, children with disabilities seem to engage in fewer of these activities, and when they do participate often do so primarily with adults. Materials and Methods, This study compared activity participation and friendship in typically developing (TD) children (n = 90), children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD; n = 65), and children with an intellectual disability (n = 30) between the ages of 5 and 17 years. Parents completed a questionnaire about their child's participation in social, recreational and leisure activities. Results, The TD children participated in significantly more social and recreational activities and had more friends than the children with disabilities. Notable differences emerged among groups in the percentage of activities the children participated in with peers, parents and/or other adults. Some significant differences were noted between the ASD and intellectual disability groups. Conclusions, Research concerning activity participation should continue to take into account not only whether children are engaging in activities, but explore more precisely ,with whom' these activities are occurring. [source] Negotiating who presents the problem: next speaker selection in pediatric encountersJOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION, Issue 2 2001T Stivers Using audio- and videotapes of acute pediatric encounters, this study (a) identifies pediatricians' practices of next speaker selection when soliciting the problem presentation, (b) identifies factors that bear on next speaker selection, and examines the consequences of physicians' selection practices for who ultimately presents the problem. Although doctors most frequently select children as problem presenters, parents are the most likely to actually present the child's problem. However, parents nonetheless orient to their children's rights to answer question that select them as next speaker. Thus, the actual problem presenter emerges as the result of a process of interactional negotiation rather than dominance or control. This study also suggests communication resources that may increase the child's participation in presenting the problem. [source] How Much of the Gender Difference in Child School Enrolment Can Be Explained?BULLETIN OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH, Issue 2 2004Evidence from Rural India I21; O15 Abstract There are significant gender differences in child schooling in the Indian states though very few studies explain this gender difference. Unlike most existing studies we take account of the implicit and explicit opportunity costs of schooling and use a bivariate probit model to jointly determine a child's participation in school and market jobs. Results obtained from the World Institute of Development Economics Research (WIDER) villages in West Bengal suggest that indicators of household resources, parental preferences, returns to and opportunity costs of domestic work significantly affect child school enrolment. While household resources have similar effects on enrolment of boys and girls, other arguments tend to explain a part of the observed gender difference. Even after taking account of all possible arguments, there remains a large variation in gender differences in child schooling that cannot be explained by differences in male and female characteristics in our sample.
