Locking in a virtual world
(2024) Norman, Turner
In our digitally interconnected world, the internet plays a pivotal role in daily life, including with a large proportion of education and the arts. This paper delves into street dance education, specifically focusing on the effectiveness of online learning compared to traditional, in-person, one-on-one mentoring. Utilizing a netnographic approach, we investigate the archive of locking tutorials available on YouTube, exploring how these platforms connect a global community of street dance practitioners.
Caregiver Ratings of Toddler Pain: The Role of Caregiver Psychological Predictors
(Journal of Pediatric Psychology, 2023-09-30) Zaffino, Jessica; Shiff, Ilana; Stern, Amy; Flanders, Dan; Weinberg, Eitan; Savlov, Deena; Garfield, Hartley; Pillai Riddell, Rebecca
Introduction/Aim: Young children’s limited ability to self-report pain necessitates an understanding of the factors that influence pain ratings. The current paper examines the relative prediction of caregiver psychological factors and toddler pain behaviours on caregiver pain ratings post-vaccination.
Methods: One hundred and fifty-six parent-toddler dyads were video recorded during pediatric vaccinations. Child pain behaviours were coded before, during, and after the needle using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability Scale (FLACC; Merkel et al., 2002) and the Neonatal Facial Coding System (NFCS; Grunau & Craig, 1987). Caregivers rated their child's pain after the needle, reported pre- and post-needle worry during the visit, and completed rating scales assessing other areas of psychological functioning within 2 weeks after the appointment. Regression models were estimated to examine the relative contribution of child and caregiver factors to the prediction of caregiver pain ratings.
Results: The regression model predicting caregiver pain ratings from the toddlers’ pain-related distress (facial activity immediately after the needle, overall pain-related behaviour immediately after, 1-minute and 2-minutes post-needle) and caregiver worry were significant (adjusted R-square = 0. 21), with caregiver pre- and post-needle worry being the only significant predictors of caregiver pain ratings.
Conclusions: This study outlines that although child distress behaviour remains a significant influence on pain ratings during toddlerhood, when caregiver worry (pre- and post-needle) was entered into the model, they were the only significant predictors of caregiver pain ratings.
It takes two: The relative contributions of parent versus child-led regulatory behaviours on toddler vaccination pain
(European Journal of Pain, 2023-11-20) Hannah Gabrielle Gennis; Flora, David; McMurtry, C. Meghan; Flanders, Dan; Weinberg, Eitan; Savlov, Deena; Garfield, Hartley; Pillai Riddell, Rebecca
Background: Past research has established the important role of parent soothing in early childhood pain management. However, limited research has assessed children’s own emerging emotion regulation strategies to reduce their pain during vaccination. The purpose of the current study was to understand the relative contributions of child-led emotion-regulation behaviours over and above parent regulatory behaviours and pre-needle distress. Methods: Toddler-caregiver dyads were videotaped at their 12- and/or 18-month vaccinations. Videos were coded for pain-related behavioural distress, child-led regulatory behaviours (disengagement of attention, parent-focused behaviours, and physical self-soothing), and parent regulatory/soothing behaviours (distraction, physical comfort, rocking, verbal reassurance). Pre-needle distress, followed by parent regulatory behaviours, followed by child regulatory behaviours were used as hierarchical predictors of pain regulation. Two sets of models were estimated at each age, by incorporating parent and child regulatory behaviours at one minute and two minutes post-needle, separately. Results: At both ages, child-led parent-focused behaviours predicted less regulation. At 18 months, parent soothing behaviours (e.g., distraction, verbal reassurance, rocking) played a stronger role in regulation, however; the only behaviour that increased regulation was rocking. Conclusions: Measuring both parent and child regulatory behaviours was important for fully understanding pain-related distress regulation. Toddlers’ use of parent-focused regulatory behaviours (e.g., proximity seeking) suggests that they signal to their parent directly when they are struggling to regulate post-needle. The only parent behaviour that supported this regulation was rocking at 18 months, suggesting a greater need to understand the sensitivity of parent behaviours post-needle.
