Title : Cognitive Interviews for Validating the Family Nutrition Physical Activity Instrument for Korean-American Families With Young Children Material Type: printed text Authors: Park, So Hyun, Author ; Park, Chang Gi, Author ; McCreary, Linda, Author ; Norr, Kathleen F., Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.1-6 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.36 No.5 (Sep-Oct) 2017 [10/18/2017] . - p.1-6Keywords: Childhood obesity. Family environment. Korean-Americans. Family Nutrition Physical Activity. Immigrants. Cognitive interview. Abstract: Purpose
Childhood obesity is a growing health concern for Korean-Americans (KA). The purpose of this study was to develop a culturally appropriate Korean-language version of the Family Nutrition Physical Activity (FNPA) instrument and evaluate its comprehensibility and cultural appropriateness of the FNPA for KAs.
Design and Methods
The FNPA was translated into Korean and cognitive interviews were conducted with 19 KA mothers in the Chicago metropolitan area.
Results
Overall, participants reported that the FNPA is easy to understand and said they had no difficulty answering items using a 4-point Likert scale. Six out of 20 items had minor revisions due to: items that were not specific enough, had confusing wording, or led to incorrect interpretations.
Conclusions
Cognitive interviews confirmed the cultural appropriateness of the translated FNPA in the KA context. It is crucial that child's age and cultural aspects of a child's household routines should be taken into consideration when the original FNPA is being used with culturally diverse populations.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27391 [article] Cognitive Interviews for Validating the Family Nutrition Physical Activity Instrument for Korean-American Families With Young Children [printed text] / Park, So Hyun, Author ; Park, Chang Gi, Author ; McCreary, Linda, Author ; Norr, Kathleen F., Author . - 2017 . - p.1-6.

Chronic disease management represents an ongoing challenge, as many childhood illnesses require complex medical management by primary care providers. Asthma is one such illness, and today there is evidence to support primary care-based management strategies that will benefit patients with asthma throughout a lifetime. This study seeks to find significant indicators of asthma non-adherence in pediatric primary care, with potential for utilization in the medical home model.Design and MethodsPotential indicators included in a chart review process of one large Southeastern U.S. primary care pediatric practice were reviewed from the previous calendar year for asthma patients. The study retroactively looks at the incidence of six indicators in relation to asthma-related emergency department visits and hospitalizations, and number of missed appointments for clinically relevant associations.ResultsStrong associations were found between emergency department visits and hospitalizations and many of the indicators of non-adherence with high statistical significance. No associations were found between number of missed appointments and the selected indicators.ConclusionsThe data analysis performed from the collected patient information can be helpful to guide practices in further discussions on the topic.

Title : The Effects of Smartphone-based Nebulizer Therapy Education on Parents' Knowledge and Confidence of Performance in Caring for Children with Respiratory Disease Material Type: printed text Authors: Lee, Jung Min, Author ; Min, Hae Young, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.13-19 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.36 No.5 (Sep-Oct) 2017 [10/18/2017] . - p.13-19Keywords: Education. Inhalation therapy. Nursing. Respiratory disease. Smartphone. Abstract: Purpose
This study aimed to identify the effects of smartphone-based nebulizer therapy education on the knowledge and confidence of parents while performing care for their children with respiratory disease.
Design and Methods
This quasi-experimental study employed a pretest-posttest design using a nonequivalent control group. Data were collected from children's parents who had not used nebulizer therapy for their children previously. Both the groups were given nebulizer therapy education using the same content but different learning methods. The experimental group (n = 36) was taught using smartphones, while the control group (n = 36) was taught using verbal and paper-based
methods. The data were analyzed using the Chi Square test, repeated measures analysis of variance, and t-test.
Results
The mean scores on knowledge improvement (F = 100.949, p < 0.001) and confidence in performing care (t = −6.959, p < 0.001) were significantly higher for the experimental group as compared to the control group. Further, the scores on satisfaction with the learning method were significantly higher for the experimental group as compared to the control group (t = −5.819, p < 0.001). Our results suggest that smartphone-based education on nebulizer therapy might be effective in improving parents' knowledge and confidence in performing care for their children.
Conclusion
This study suggests that smartphone-based education needs to be considered as an effective educational intervention in providing nursing support for parents of children with respiratory disease.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27395 [article] The Effects of Smartphone-based Nebulizer Therapy Education on Parents' Knowledge and Confidence of Performance in Caring for Children with Respiratory Disease [printed text] / Lee, Jung Min, Author ; Min, Hae Young, Author . - 2017 . - p.13-19.

Title : Parenting Practices of African Immigrants in Destination Countries: : A Qualitative Research Synthesis Material Type: printed text Authors: Salam, Bukola, Author ; Hirani, Shela Akbar Ali, Author ; Meheral, Salima, Author ; Amodu, Oluwakemi, Author ; Chambers,Thane, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.20-30 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.36 No.5 (Sep-Oct) 2017 [10/18/2017] . - p.20-30Keywords: African. Immigrant. Meta-synthesis. Parenting. Abstract: Problem
While studies have discussed the parenting practices and challenges of African immigrants, no paper has synthesized the results of these qualitative studies. We conducted a qualitative synthesis of the literature to summarize and interpret knowledge of African immigrants' parenting practices and challenges in destination countries to identify future directions for research, policy, and practice.
Eligibility
We used a qualitative research synthesis method involving meta-summary and meta-synthesis of the literature. A research librarian assisted in searching ten databases. Two members of the research team independently reviewed 1794 articles. We included articles that: (a) reported a qualitative research study; (b) was written in English; and (c) provided the perspective of African immigrant parents on their parenting practices and/or challenges.
Sample
A total of 24 articles met our inclusion criteria.
Results
Our results indicate that parenting practices of African immigrants include the following: changes in discipline practices across transnational borders and the use of physical discipline, respect as a deeply embedded value of parenting, integration of cultural values into parenting, and integration of religious practices into parenting. We also found gender differences in parenting. Challenges faced by African immigrants in parenting their children in destination countries include lack of informal/community support, access to services and lack of formal support, cultural conflict in parenting, fear related to social services, and language barriers.
Conclusion and Implications
Our study identifies a need for culturally appropriate policies and practices that build on the strengths of African immigrants in destination countries while addressing their unique challenges.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27408 [article] Parenting Practices of African Immigrants in Destination Countries: : A Qualitative Research Synthesis [printed text] / Salam, Bukola, Author ; Hirani, Shela Akbar Ali, Author ; Meheral, Salima, Author ; Amodu, Oluwakemi, Author ; Chambers,Thane, Author . - 2017 . - p.20-30.

in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.36 No.5 (Sep-Oct) 2017 [10/18/2017] . - p.31-36.Keywords: African. Immigrant. Meta-synthesis. Parenting. Abstract: Purpose
Tummy Time is preventive positioning designed to strengthen an infant's neck and upper body muscles and minimize musculoskeletal disorders, including positional plagiocephaly. Latino parents with limited English proficiency (LEP) may experience barriers to receiving instruction on this important health-promotion strategy. Study aims included 1) adaptation and implementation of a Spanish-language version of Tummy Time; 2) evaluation of participant Tummy Time knowledge; and 3) assessment of efficacy and acceptability of the Spanish language intervention.
Design and Methods
This feasibility study involved translation of educational materials into Spanish, creation of Spanish-language print materials, and training of bilingual research assistants to deliver the educational intervention. Participants were 21 Latino expectant and current parents with self-identified LEP. Participants completed brief pre- and post-tests and performed a return demonstration.
Results
Participant knowledge of Tummy Time increased post-intervention. Program evaluation and on-site observations supported feasibility and acceptability.
Conclusions
The cultural and linguistic tailoring of targeted educational interventions is a feasible and potentially effective strategy to overcome barriers experienced by parents with limited English proficiency and may contribute to improved infant health outcomes.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27418 [article] Tummy Time for Latinos With Limited English Proficiency : Evaluating the Feasibility of a Cultural and Linguistically Adapted Parent Education Intervention [printed text] / Nitsos, Alexandra, Author ; Estrada, Robin Dawson, Author . - 2017 . - p.31-36.

Title : Public Attitudes Toward Expanded Newborn Screening Material Type: printed text Publication Date: 2017 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.36 No.5 (Sep-Oct) 2017 [10/18/2017]Keywords: Newborn screening. Lysosomal storage diseases. Health literacy. Expanded newborn screening. Metabolomics. Whole exome sequencing. Abstract: Purpose
There is limited research available on public knowledge and understanding of expanded newborn screening (NBS). The aims of this study were to assess current public knowledge and understanding of newborn screening disorders and procedures, perceived education needs, and preferences for the delivery of NBS information and education. An additional aim was to develop a beginning understanding of public attitudes toward screening for complex, severe, and in some cases untreatable disorders.
Design and Methods
In this preliminary descriptive study, eighty-eight participants completed surveys querying their general knowledge of NBS, preferred means of receiving NBS information and education, and their opinions about screening for severe disorders such as lysosomal storage diseases (LSD).
Results
Most study participants lacked general knowledge about current NBS practices, however, they supported expanding screening for severe and in some cases untreatable conditions. Most participants were enthusiastic about expanding NBS; however, those with more years of education were cautious regarding extensive costs of diagnosing and treating rare disorders.
Conclusions
Newborn screening continues to evolve through new technological developments and the addition of more disorders to screening panels. More research of into public acceptance of newborn screening is needed. Addressing the educational needs of the public is important for improving their understanding of NBS and promoting patient-centered care in the era of genomic screening.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27419 [article] Public Attitudes Toward Expanded Newborn Screening [printed text] . - 2017.

Title : Improving the Patient Experience : Call Light Intervention Bundle Material Type: printed text Authors: Nelson, Acqueline J., Author ; Staffileno, Beth A., Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.37-43 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.36 No.5 (Sep-Oct) 2017 [10/18/2017] . - p.37-43Keywords: Pediatric patient experience. Call light response. Patient satisfaction falls. Abstract: Purpose
Delays in call light response are a significant patient quality and safety concern. Research on call light interventions and patient outcomes has focused exclusively on adult inpatients. This project examined the impact of increasing staff awareness and workflow redesign to improve the pediatric patient experience and outcomes based on timely response.
Design and Methods
A quality improvement project was conducted on two pediatric medical surgical units’ (31 and 35 beds respectively) at a large Midwest academic medical center with patients' ages from to young adults. Data on staff knowledge, patient satisfaction, and fall rates was examined pre- and post-intervention of an evidence-based call light intervention bundle which included: 1) unit-based patient experience committees, 2) purposeful rounding, 3) pod buddy assignments, and 4) staff education.
Results
Post-intervention both units demonstrated improvement in staff knowledge on call light interventions and exhibited sustained improvement in patient satisfaction scores for promptness to call. Likelihood to recommend the hospital and satisfaction with pain control improved for one of the two units. No impact on fall rates was noted over time for either unit.
Conclusions
A call light intervention bundle can positively impact patient satisfaction with promptness to call lights in pediatric medical surgical hospitalized patients and their families. Unlike adult patients, a call light intervention bundle did not impact fall rates in children and further study in pediatric fall reduction strategies is needed.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27423 [article] Improving the Patient Experience : Call Light Intervention Bundle [printed text] / Nelson, Acqueline J., Author ; Staffileno, Beth A., Author . - 2017 . - p.37-43.

Title : The Influence of Peers on Diet and Exercise Among Adolescents : A Systematic Review Material Type: printed text Authors: Chung,Sophia Jihey, Author ; Ersig, Anne L., Author ; McCarthy, Ann Marie, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.44-56 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.36 No.5 (Sep-Oct) 2017 [10/18/2017] . - p.44-56Keywords: Adolescents. Diet. Exercise. Peers. Abstract: Adolescents' diet and exercise are modifiable factors contributing to high rates of adolescent obesity. Diverse contextual factors, including family, social environment, and peers, affect adolescents' diet and exercise behaviors. Because peer influence increases during adolescence, peers' contributions to adolescents' diet and exercise behaviors should be examined as potential targets for intervention to reduce the prevalence of adolescent obesity. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify research examining the contribution of peers to diet and exercise of adolescents. The electronic databases PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and SCOPUS were searched. A total of 24 unique articles were included: seven examined diet only, fourteen studied exercise only, and three explored diet and exercise. This review provided evidence that diet and exercise of adolescents were significantly associated with those of their peers. However, these associations differed depending on gender, the type of diet and exercise, and closeness of friends. Findings from this review suggest that peers could be possible targets for interventions to promote healthier diet and exercise among adolescents; however, more studies are needed to identify specific peer influences and develop tailored interventions.

Abstract: Adolescents' diet and exercise are modifiable factors contributing to high rates of adolescent obesity. Diverse contextual factors, including family, social environment, and peers, affect adolescents' diet and exercise behaviors. Because peer influence increases during adolescence, peers' contributions to adolescents' diet and exercise behaviors should be examined as potential targets for intervention to reduce the prevalence of adolescent obesity. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify research examining the contribution of peers to diet and exercise of adolescents. The electronic databases PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and SCOPUS were searched. A total of 24 unique articles were included: seven examined diet only, fourteen studied exercise only, and three explored diet and exercise. This review provided evidence that diet and exercise of adolescents were significantly associated with those of their peers. However, these associations differed depending on gender, the type of diet and exercise, and closeness of friends.

Title : Caring for a Child With an Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injury : A Metaphor Analysis Material Type: printed text Authors: Beck, Cheryl Tatano, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.57-63 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.36 No.5 (Sep-Oct) 2017 [10/18/2017] . - p.57-63Keywords: Obstetric brachial plexus injur. Secondary analysis. Qualitative. Abstract: Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the metaphors used by mothers to describe their experiences caring for their children with obstetric brachial plexus injuries.
Design and Methods
A secondary qualitative data analysis was conducted from the primary data set of a phenomenological study of mothers' experiences caring for their children with obstetric brachial plexus injuries. The type of secondary qualitative data analysis approach used was analytic expansion. Metaphor Identification Procedure was used to analyze the corpus of 132 pages of typed transcription.
Results
This metaphorical analysis yielded seven metaphors mothers used to describe their experiences caring for their children with obstetric brachial plexus injuries. These metaphors portrayed mothers' lives as involving a heavy weight, a maze, a juggling act, a simmering pot, a dagger to the heart, a rollercoaster, and a constant battle.
Conclusion
The seven metaphors helped women express what they could not completely capture using only medical jargon and provide valuable insight for clinicians. Using secondary qualitative data analysis to mine for any metaphors in a primary data set gives researchers another valuable and creative opportunity to discover new knowledge from the data they had previously collected.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27427 [article] Caring for a Child With an Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injury : A Metaphor Analysis [printed text] / Beck, Cheryl Tatano, Author . - 2017 . - p.57-63.

Title : Enhancing Pediatric Asthma Care and Nursing Education Through an : Academic Practice Partnership Material Type: printed text Authors: McClure, Natasha, Author ; Lutenbacher, Melanie, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.64-69 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.36 No.5 (Sep-Oct) 2017 [10/18/2017] . - p.64-69Keywords: Asthma management. Children. Home visits. Academic practice partnerships. Abstract: Background
Home environmental assessments and interventions delivered via academic practice partnerships (APP) between clinics and schools of nursing may be a low or no cost delivery model of pediatric asthma care and professional education. Patients receive enhanced clinical resources that can improve self-management and healthcare utilization. Additionally, students can practice chronic disease management skills in actual patient encounters.
Objective
To describe outcomes of the implementation of an APP between a school of nursing and a pediatric asthma specialty clinic (PASC) to deliver a home visit program (HVP). The HVP was designed to reduce emergency department visits and asthma related hospitalizations in PASC patients and provide clinical experiences for nursing students.
Methods
PASC referred patients to the HVP based on their level of asthma control. Students provided an individualized number of home visits to 17 participants over a nine month period. A 12-month pre- and post-HVP comparison of emergency department visits and asthma related hospitalizations was conducted. Additional information was gathered from stakeholders via an online survey, and interviews with APP partners and HVP families.
Outcomes
Children had fewer asthma related hospitalizations post HVP. Findings suggest a reduction in exposure to environmental triggers, improved patient and family management of asthma, and increased PASC knowledge of asthma triggers in the home and increased student knowledge and skills related to asthma management.
Conclusions
Multiple clinical and educational benefits may be realized through the development of APPs as an infrastructure supporting targeted interventions in home visits to pediatric asthma patients and their families.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27429 [article] Enhancing Pediatric Asthma Care and Nursing Education Through an : Academic Practice Partnership [printed text] / McClure, Natasha, Author ; Lutenbacher, Melanie, Author . - 2017 . - p.64-69.

Health care, primary. Health care professionals. Health care users'. experiences. Metasynthesis. Meta-ethnography. Relationship. patient-provider. Trust. Qualitative analysis. Wellness visit. Abstract: Purpose
Preventive health care services provide an important opportunity to assist adolescents to establish and maintain a healthy lifestyle and assume an increasing independent role in their health care. National guidelines emphasize the importance of an annual wellness visit to identify and address risk-behaviors that contribute significantly to the morbidity and mortality in this population. Despite these recommendations, adolescents utilize preventive health care at declining rates throughout adolescence. The purpose of this study was to capture a more holistic view of what adolescents, as consumers of health care services, expect from their primary health care providers (HCPs).
Method
A metasynthesis of 12 qualitative research studies was conducted using Noblit and Hare's (1988) meta-ethnographic approach.
Results
Five overarching metaphors, Talk with Me- Not at Me, Accept Me, Respect My Privacy and Confidentiality, Show Me You Are a Professional, and A Trusted Relationship described adolescents' expectations of their HCPs.
Conclusions
This study provides a more holistic view of adolescents' expectations of their HCPs. Clinical strategies are suggested to assist HCPs to meet adolescents' expectations.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27430 [article] Treat Me Like a Normal Person!” A Meta-Ethnography of Adolescents' : Expectations of Their Health Care Providers [printed text] / Daley, Alison Moriarty., Author ; Polifroni, E.

Purpose
This study assessed the effectiveness of animal-assisted activities (AAA) on biobehavioral stress responses (anxiety, positive and negative affect, and salivary cortisol and C-reactive protein [CRP] levels) in hospitalized children.
Design and Methods
This was a randomized, controlled study.
Method
Forty-eight participants were randomly assigned to receive a 10-minute AAA (n = 24) or a control condition (n = 24). Anxiety, positive and negative affect, and levels of salivary biomarkers were assessed before and after the intervention.
Results
Although increases in positive affect and decreases in negative affect were larger in the AAA condition, pre- and post-intervention differences between the AAA and control conditions were not significant. In addition, pre- and post-intervention differences between the conditions in salivary cortisol and CRP were not statistically significant. Baseline levels of anxiety, cortisol, and CRP had a significant and large correlation to the corresponding post-intervention measures. Scores on the Pet Attitude Scale were high but were not associated with changes in anxiety, positive affect, negative affect, or stress biomarkers.Link for e-copy: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-pediatric-nursing/ Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27431 [article] Effects of Animal-assisted Activities on Biobehavioral Stress Responses in Hospitalized Children : A Randomized Controlled Study [printed text] . - 2017 . - p.81-91.

The purpose of this study was to explore the beliefs regarding asthma management and Asthma Action Plans (AAPs) of African American caregivers residing in three New Jersey public housing communities in Newark, New Jersey.
Design
A qualitative methods design was accomplished using semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of nine African American caregivers of children with asthma. Information was coded using N'VIVO™; the textual analysis combined codes into categories, which were then assembled into themes.
Results
Self-determination was found to be a fundamental goal of asthma management; however, three themes emerged as barriers and facilitators to this goal: challenges in the urban environment, preference of familial methods, and access to medical care.
Conclusions
indings from this study regarding minority caregivers' beliefs regarding difficulty navigating the health care system coupled with insurance instability, leading to use of Emergency Departments, are consistent with past research.

To evaluate the effectiveness of standard-of-care oral care guides developed specifically for children in intensive care to prevent mucositis.
Design and Methods
This prospective, interventional and single-group study design was performed in the pediatric intensive care unit of a university hospital in Istanbul between January and December 2014. Daily oral care was implemented to pediatric patients in the study group in line with an oral care guide developed by the researchers. Data were collected using the data collection form and oral mucositis assessment scale published by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Results
Oral mucositis occurred in 16 (5.2%) patients in the pre-intervention group and 7 (2.5%) in the post-intervention group, 10 patients had grade 1, and 6 patients had grade 2 oral mucositis in the pre-intervention group, and in the post-intervention group, three patients had grade 1, and four patients had grade 2 oral mucositis. Although more patients in the pre-intervention group had mucositis than in the post-intervention group, the differences were not statistically significant (P = 0.067).
Conclusions
Oral mucositis can be reduced through the practice of administering oral care in accordance with oral healthcare guidelines.

One of every five children and adolescents in the European Union suffers from behavioural, and emotional disturbances.
Objectives
To compare factors associated with the quality of life and mental health of immigrant and Spanish children aged 4–14 years both during the years 2006 and 2012 and to evaluate changes over this time period.
Design and Methods
An epidemiologic age and sex matched case-control study (1:2) was conducted. The study group were 677 immigrant children and 1354 matched Spanish children (controls). This study was conducted using data obtained from the Spanish National Health Surveys done in 2006 and 2012. We used the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire to obtain the score for variables derived from mental health and the Kidscreen-10 questionnaire to score the Health-Related Quality of Life.
Results
Spanish girls scored higher in conduct problems (2.04 ± 0.1) and better in problems with peers (1.21 ± 0.08) regarding immigrant girls (1.82 ± 0.12–1.92 ± 0.13 respectively). Concerning total scores, immigrant children obtained significantly lower scores in quality of life (81.29 ± 0.76) and in problems with peers (2.04 ± 0.09) than their matched Spanish children (84.4 ± 0.45 and 1.26 ± 0.06) in 2006. Immigrant children had lower total scores in prosocial behaviour (8.62 ± 0.11) compared to the matched Spanish children (8.92 ± 0.06) in 2012. The total average scores of immigrant children in terms of quality of life, emotional symptoms, behavioural problems, hyperactivity and problems with peers were significantly better in 2012 (86.58; 1.84; 1.46; 3.77 and 1.48 respectively) than in 2006 (81.29; 2.15; 1.90; 4.58 and2.04).
