Background Transition-aged youth are particularly vulnerable to mental health problems, yet they one of the least likely demographic groups seek help. Objective The aim this study is explore influences on and patterns in help-seeking for concerns among transition-aged who attend postsecondary schools Canada. Methods A qualitative research design was used, involving 12 semistructured focus with (17-29 years) attended thematic analysis conducted code transcripts develop themes. Results Four...
Background The experience of undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be anxiety provoking, particularly for pediatric patients and their families. Alternative methods to improve success experiences without the use sedation are needed. Objective This study aims compare effectiveness a virtual reality (VR)—based simulation app (VR-MRI) with standard preparatory manual (SPM) hospital-based Child Life Program (CLP) on during simulated MRI scan. Our secondary aim is caregivers’ reported...
While virtual reality (VR) has been shown to be an effective distractor in children across a range of procedures, no studies have looked at its use within paediatric orthopaedics. The purpose this study was look the VR reducing anxiety levels during cast removal. In addition, aimed find ways enhance efficiency future trials paediatrics.A non-blinded randomized control trial took place aged four 18 years. Intraprocedural measured using Children's Emotional Manifestation Scale (CEMS), while...
Background The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant effects on anatomy education. During the pandemic, students have no access to cadavers, which been principal method of learning anatomy. We created and tested a customized congenital heart disease e-learning course for medical that contained interactive 3D models anonymized pediatric defects. Objective aim this study is assess whether multimodal contributed outcomes in cohort first-year undergraduate studying diseases. secondary student...
Effective preparation of children for hospital procedures, including non-sedated medical imaging, is an important clinical issue. This study aimed to assess the costs and consequences (effects) preparing pediatric patients using two methods delivering a scheduled magnetic resonance image (MRI)-virtual reality (VR-MRI) certified Child Life Program (CLP).A cost-consequence analysis (CCA) was performed societal perspective in Canada. The CCA catalogs wide range VR-MRI compared with CLP....
Abstract Background and aims First responders such as firefighters police officers often experience traumatic events part of their work. As a result, they are more likely to have mental health issues post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety compared the general population. Psychedelic-assisted therapy has emerged promising avenue alleviate these issues, but little is currently known about first responders' interest in, barriers to, treatments. Here, we aimed document attitudes...
Background Three-dimensional printing is being utilized in clinical medicine to support activities including surgical planning, education, and medical device fabrication. To better understand the impacts of this technology, a survey was implemented with radiologists, specialist physicians, surgeons at tertiary care hospital Canada, examining multidimensional value considerations for uptake. Objectives examine how three-dimensional can be integrated into paediatric context highlight areas...
