<title>Abstract</title> Background In pediatric oncology, Fear of Progression (FoP) is a main psychosocial burden for patients and parents. We examined feasibility efficacy family intervention.

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold>: Fear of progression (FoP) is a significant psychosocial burden for children with cancer and their parents, influencing quality life (HRQoL) emotional adjustment. There lack helpful therapeutic interventions in pediatric oncology. We have developed the family-based intervention “Kinder-Progredienzangst” (KIPA, engl.: FoP) investigated its feasibility efficacy. <bold>Methods</bold>: In this pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) 29 families...
Around the globe, cultures seem to be leaning more towards an independent social orientation while turning away from a interdependent orientation. This shift also affects cultural norms regarding qualities favored in children, known as socialization goals. The fraud hypothesis suggests that this change has negative consequences for population health. An emphasis on individuation and individual achievement may particularly harm children's mental study explored links between cohort changes...
Objective Siblings of children with chronic health conditions (SCCHCs) often experience stressful situations and are at increased risk for mental problems. This study aimed to identify coping behaviours that may have positive effects on among SCCHCs. Such information can be used inform preventive programs.
Childhood obesity is a serious health concern that not yet fully understood. Previous research has linked with neurobehavioral factors such as behavior, cognition, and brain morphology. The causal directions of these relationships remain mostly untested. We filled this gap by using the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study cohort comprising 11,875 children aged 9-10. First, correlations between age- sex-specific 95th BMI percentile (%BMIp95) measures were cross-sectionally analyzed....

On average, cultures seem to shift towards a greater emphasis of an independent social orientation. However, this may vary, with some following different trajectories. Cultural transformations also affect the norms regarding qualities favored in children, known as socialization goals. Research suggests that independence have more negative consequences for children's mental health. This study explored links between cohort changes (1989-2022) goal and child anxiety disorder incidence rate...

Siblings of children with chronic health conditions (SCCHCs) are often exposed to potentially stressful situations (e.g., reduced attention). Stress coping behaviors may moderate the effects stressors on quality life SCCHCs. However, there is only limited evidence for this mechanism. Person-centered approaches using clustering methods map behavioral variance more accurately. The purpose study was derive stress patterns SCCHCs and investigate their associations demographic measures life. 81...
