Read More Background: The interaction between premature infants and the ectopic environment requires special care due to developmental defects in various systems of their body. In this regard, the results of various studies have introduced the stimulation of premature infants with the smell of breast milk as an effective way to improve the physiological responses caused by prematurity and reduce the problems associated with prematurity. The aim of this study was to systematically review the intervention studies of aromatherapy with breast milk on improving behavioral and physiological responses and reducing prematurity problems in premature infants.Method: A comprehensive search of related scientific studies, published until February 2020, was conducted in scientific databases of PubMed, ISI, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus using the following keywords: Breast Milk, Maternal Milk odor, Mother's Milk, Mother's odor, Premature Birth, Olfactive stimulation, Pain, Aromatherapy, Apnea, Preterm infant, Preterm infant pain, Infant behavior, Infant physiological response. After applying the entry and exit criteria, 14 Articles were selected.Results: The results revealed a decrease in transition feeding days in premature infants of the intervention group in exposure to an impregnated pad with breast milk as olfactory stimulation, when compared to the control group. Based on the results, longer sucking bouts, more bursts (>7 sucking movements) and more consumed milk were reported for the intervention group during each breastfeeding session, when compared to the control group. The frequency of sucking in response to fresh breast milk was also higher than frozen breast milk, but not statistically significant (p = 0.09). There was an elevation in the high-amplitude non-nutritive sucking frequency among the preterm infants within the last three days of 14-day study after presenting the odor of the maternal breast milk for a 60-second period. Beneficial effects occurred in the hospitalized infants due to the odor of mother; they included increasing mouth movements and pacifier acceptance, calming stressed or crying infants, and relieving their pain. The infant's ability to feed increases and the duration of the first lactation decreases due to the olfactory stimulation of the breast milk odor; and the number of sucks (260.4 [95% CI = 206-315]) and suck bursts (41.0 [95% CI = 36-46]) was unexpectedly observed in group 1 (breast milk odor), as compared to group 2 (144.8 [95% CI = 87-203] versus 27.4 [95% CI = 21-34])Conclusion: This study showed that the use of aromatherapy with the mom’s milk is very effective in improving the behavioral and physiological response; and reduces the problems resulting from prematurity in premature babies. Therefore, the smell of breast milk can be used as a complementary method to accelerate the health promotion of premature infants.

Read More Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of focusing instructions (internal and external) and attention feedback (internal and external) on learning free throwing skills of basketball in children aged 9 to 11 years.Methods: For this purpose, 70 female students aged 9 to 11 years were selected from District 18 of Tehran and randomly divided into five groups of 14 individuals, including one Control Group (CG), along with four Experimental Groups (EGs) of Internal Attention (EG 1), External Attention (EG 2), Internal attention feedback (EG 3), and External attention feedback (EG 4). After learning some basic instructions and watching the instructional video, the pre-test was performed including a 10-item set (10 blocks). The acquisition phase consisted of two sessions on two consecutive days and each session consisted of 5 blocks of 10 attempts with two minutes of rest between the blocks. Immediate retention test was performed immediately after the acquisition phase and delayed retention test was conducted 48 hours after the last acquisition session. Data analysis was performed using repeated measures one-way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), and LSD post hoc test using SPSS software version 20 and Excel at a significant level of P <0.05.Results: The findings revealed that both attention-grabbing methods improved children's motor functions (P <0.05). In combination of data related to internal and external attention as well as external and internal attention feedback, the findings showed that there were significant differences between the effects of interventions on children's motor skills learning, to the advantage of the external attention feedback (P <0.05).Conclusion: The present findings in support of the hypothesis of limited practice in order to learn the motor skills of children's basketball free throwing, recommend the use of feedback and attention signs, especially the external ones.

Read More Background: Child obesity is one of the main health problems all across the world, which leads to mental and physical health problems. There is no specific tool based on the constructs of social-cognitive theory (SCT) to assess the factors associated with child obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and confirmatory factor analysis of a SCT-based questionnaire for assessing obesity preventing behaviors among 4-6-year-old children.Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted to validate a SCT-based instrument for measuring factors affecting obesity prevention behaviors among children aged 4-6 years. 240 preschool children aged 4 to 6 years in Behbahan city, southwest Iran participated in the study. After performing the forward-backward translation method, the face, content, and construct validity of the SCT-based questionnaire were confirmed. The content validity index (CVI) and the content validity ratio (CVR) were used to assess the difficulty, relevancy, and ambiguity of the items, and Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to measure the construct validity. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was also performed to evaluate the fitness of the model. Reliability of the questionnaire was also measured through Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). The obesity prevention behaviors used in the model included physical activity, consumption of fruit and vegetable, consumption of sugar-free drinks, and screen.Results: Results of this study confirmed the acceptable content and face validity of the SCT-based questionnaire. The results of confirmatory factor analysis also confirmed the factor loading of more than 0.3 for all variables; therefore the SCT-based questionnaire had an acceptable validity and reliability.Conclusions: Since the SCT-based questionnaire had an acceptable validity and reliability, it can be used to assess the obesity prevention behaviors in 4-6-year-old children, and also to design relevant educational interventions.
