Changes in Glycated Hemoglobin, Diabetes Knowledge, Quality of Life, and Anxiety in Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Attending Summer Camps
(Pediatric Diabetes, 2020-11-12) Hasan, Istiaque; Chowdhury, A. B. M. Alauddin; Haque, Md. Imdadul; Patterson, Christopher C.
Diabetes summer camps provide children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes opportunities to learn about the disease and its management in a supportive environment to help improve glycemic control, self‐reliance, and quality of life. The objective of this quantitative review was to assess the advantages of attending summer camps and study any adverse psychological effects. Studies with a pre/post study design in children and adolescents attending summer camp were systematically reviewed. Five bibliographic databases were searched and relevant data extracted. Random effects meta‐analyses were used to combine the individual study results to derive pooled estimates and meta‐regression was used to explore between‐study heterogeneity. Studies in the literature report short‐term improvements in the glycemic control, diabetes knowledge (DK), quality of life (QOL) anxiety, diabetes self‐management, and self‐esteem. Thirty‐three studies were identified, and those outcomes reported in five or more studies were included in meta‐analyses. There were significant benefits with a pooled mean change for glycated hemoglobin (95% CI) of −0.59(−0.95,‐0.23)% (−6.4[−10.4,‐2.5]mmol/mol), and for standardized DK score of 1.99(1.28,2.70) but corresponding changes for QOL 0.17(−0.06,0.39) and for anxiety −0.32(−0.70, 0.06) were not significant. However, all outcomes showed considerable between‐study heterogeneity little of which was explained by study characteristics. The findings suggest short‐term benefits of camp on metabolic control, DK, QOL and anxiety in T1D children and adolescents, although the latter two were not statistically significant. Further research is warranted with more methodological rigor and longer‐term follow‐up to determine if there are long‐term benefits associated with camp attendance.

Thirty-three studies were identified, and those outcomes reported in five or more studies were included in meta-analyses. There were significant benefits with a pooled mean change for glycated hemoglobin (95% CI) of −0.59(−0.95,-0.23)% (−6.4[−10.4,-2.5]mmol/mol), and for standardized DK score of 1.99(1.28,2.70) but corresponding changes for QOL 0.17(−0.06,0.39) and for anxiety −0.32(−0.70, 0.06) were not significant.

(Scopus, 2021) Haque, Md. Imdadul; Rani, Varoti; Chowdhury, ABM Alauddin; Akter, Tasnim; Hasan, Istiaque; Harun, Md. Golam Dostogir; Ullah, Abu Naser Zafar
Dalits are referred to “shattered,” “outcasts,” and socially marginalized community in Bangladesh. In particular, Dalit adolescent girls are the most vulnerable owing to their caste and gender. Prior studies have looked at the prevalence and effects of drug addiction among the youths in mainstream population, but the Dalit adolescents were excluded from the samples. The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of drug addiction and substance use among the Dalit married adolescent girls (MAGs), and to identify the significant predictors associated with this addiction. A cross-sectional survey was carried out among 300 MAGs in the Dalit community. Involving systematic random sampling, participants were selected from both urban and rural settings located in Dhaka and Gaibandha districts. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed to explore the significant factors associated with drug addiction. The prevalence of drug addiction was 11.3% among married Dalit adolescent girls. Multivariate analysis identified that participants’ habit of smoking (AOR=5.210, 95% CI=2.413–11.250), participant’s husband’s habit of smoking (AOR=10.415, 95% CI=3.911–27.739), and habit of using alcohol/highly risky substances (AOR=19.030, 95% CI=6.481–55.875) were significant associated with drug addiction. An alarming proportion of Dalit adolescent girls were recorded to be habituated in various forms of drugs use. Therefore, immediate policy measures focusing intensive campaigns, targeted counseling, and health education programs need to design to get over the risky health behaviors.

Background Motherhood is associated with extra stress, and mothers of young children are particularly prone to developing depression and mental health problems. Methodology This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in Dhaka city, Bangladesh, from June to December 2019. Mothers of school-going children were recruited through a multistage sampling technique. Dhaka city was divided into two divisions and then further subdivided into public and private sectors. Six schools were selected from each sector by using a simple random sampling technique. A list of class five to eight students were collected from each school by systematic random sampling. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using semi-structured questionnaires. The rate of depressive symptoms was measured by the validated Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Result A total of 324 women participated in this study; the majority of the women (85.5%) were Muslim, 67.0% were housewives, and 53.1% had a girl child. Among the women, 15.4% had mild, 22.2% had moderate, and 20.1% had severe depression. Most of the child's behavioral and lifestyle factors were associated with the mother's depression. Adjusted analyses indicate that if a child is often unhappy, depressed, or tearful [(OR (95%CI = 22.27 (8.39–59.11)], gets nervous in new situations or easily loses confidence [(OR (95%CI) = 5.45 (2.96–10.00)], often lies or cheats [(OR (95%CI) = 8.93 (3.76–21.22)], gets afraid easily [(OR (95%CI) = 7.09 (3.79–13.24)], watches television for 3 h or more [(OR (95%CI) = 23.77 (6.46–87.48)] browses the internet for 3 h or more [(OR (95%CI = 7.37 (2.76–19.67)] were associated with mother's depression. Conclusion The study concludes that depression among the mothers of school-going children in Dhaka city of Bangladesh is high. Several lifestyles and behavioral factors of school-going children are significantly associated with the mothers' depression.
