▼ ABSTRACT Title: The environment as a tool in nursing - School nurses experiences from using the physical environment in their office supporting schoolchildren Author: Egnell, Maria Department: School of Health and Education, University of Skövde Course: Master Degree project in Nursing, OM854A, 15 ECTs Supervisor: Thorstensson, Stina Examiner: Larsson, Margareta Pages: 28 Keywords: School nurses, environment, health environment, nursing, children Background: According to research, the physical environment effects children’s well-being. School nurses offer a range of nursing activities promoting health to schoolchildren and to support school performances. The nursing activities occur at school in a psychosocial as well as a physical environment. The school nurses office as a health environment, affects meetings and schoolchildren that occur within it. School nurses take support in the physical environment in their work with schoolchildren. The field has not yet been researched as an important part of nursing at school. Aim: The aim of this study was to elucidate the school nurses perceptions of using the ward atmosphere at their office, as a tool in nursing. Method: A qualitative research method was selected for the study. The result emerged through qualitative content analysis. Five school nurses from various schools in Gothenburg were interviewed, using semi structured interviews. Results: Three major categories and six subcategories emerged during the analysis. Major categories were: offering a health environment for well-being, to be present in the environment for the children and to use the environment for health education. Conclusion: The school nurses strived to make the office a place for well-being. They also used it for health information, as a sanctuary and as a connection point that considers children’s need for integrity. How the school nurses used the environment depended on who they were as individuals, as the field until now, not has gone through research. Obstacles depended on all those around, with too little knowledge in what school nurses work consist of and also from a complexity in being available to the children.

▼ Physical aggression is a serious issue in public schools. Meta-analyses have suggested that school-based interventions are generally effective in reducing direct, physically aggressive behavior, but it has been several years since a meta-analysis has been conducted. The current meta-analysis adds to the existing literature by synthesizing the results of 20 outcome studies published since 2004. Overall, the effects of these interventions appear to be relatively small, d=.15. Interventions delivered by researchers tended to produce greater effects than those delivered by teachers. Likewise, interventions delivered with greater fidelity tended to produce greater effects than those interventions delivered with lower fidelity or not reporting any fidelity measurements. Results also indicate "demonstration" and "research" programs are far more common than "routine" programs in the literature, and the outcomes that are reported are more likely to have greater effects than is typical in routine school practices. Future research should focus on evaluation of routine practices and include more commonly used data collection procedures such as office discipline referrals or incident reports.

▼ The Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth (PEM-CY) is a parent-report measure assessing children’s participation and environmental factors across home, school and community. Although the PEM-CY has demonstrated reliability and validity in North America, no studies have yet reported the psychometric properties of a Korean PEM-CY (KPEM-CY). In order to use the PEM-CY in the Korean cultural context, this research developed the KPEM-CY and tested its reliability and validity in the Korean population. Through a unique cross-cultural adaptation guideline, the KPEM-CY was developed. A total of 76% of the participation items and 29% of the environment items were revised to improve their fit with the Korean culture. To examine internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and known group validity of the KPEM-CY, 196 parents of children (80 children with disabilities) aged 5 to 13 years were recruited in the city of Daejeon, South Korea. Internal consistency was found to be moderate to excellent for the summary scores. Test-retest reliability was excellent for participation frequency and extent of involvement across the three settings and moderate to excellent for the home setting. Significant differences were identified in the specific dimensions of children’s participation and environmental factors according to factors of a child and their parents (i.e., disability, child’s age, and type of school). This thesis provides evidence that the KPEM-CY is a reliable and valid measure for Korean children aged 5 to 13 years. The results of this thesis provide an understanding about Korean children’s participation patterns and the impact of environmental factors on their participation. This new knoweldge can assist occupational therapists to set intervention goals and to conduct future studies to improve the participation of Korean children with disabilities. The KPEM-CY also has the potential to be used in population-level studies to compare children’s participation patterns across regions, countries and cultures.
Thesis
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
The Korean version of the Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth (KPEM-CY) was examined for use with Korean children aged 5 to 13 years through two processes. Firstly, the original PEM-CY was cross-culturally translated to Korean based on the different perspectives of various experts working with children with disabilities. Second, the KPEM-CY was tested to determine whether it is a reliable and valid tool to assess the participation of Korean children with disabilities and the environmental supports or barriers to their participation. Through this process, the participation patterns of Korean children with and without disabilities and environmental factors affecting their participation were identified. These results may help occupational therapists plan intervention goals and could provide the basis for future studies of the participation of Korean children with disabilities. The KPEM-CY could also be used in population-level studies…

▼ The purpose of this mixed methods sequential explanatory study was to examine the utility of the Participation and
Environment Measure for
Children and Youth (PEM-CY) for use by a community service agency, Adaptive Recreation Opportunities (ARO), for programmatic assessment and service planning to promote
children's community participation. The study used two distinct, interactive phases, which included collection and analysis of quantitative data (Phase 1) and sequential collection and analysis of qualitative data (Phase 2) to determine if qualitative results could be used to further explain results from the quantitative phase. The first phase of the study (quan) included gathering PEM-CY data from 23 families who were receiving services from ARO to better understand patterns in
children's community participation and environmental supports and barriers to participation in community activities. Results from Phase 1 were summarized into a report and used during Phase 2 (QUAL) to gather the perspectives of 7 ARO staff via semi-structured interviews. Phase two findings suggest that ARO staff perceived the PEM-CY to provide for a more comprehensive and detailed initial assessment process to identify individual and program-level needs. Providers were also able to delineate a core decisional process for leveraging PEM-CY results to develop an intervention plan with families. Future validation with parents and considerations for enabling collaborative and feasible uptake of the decisional process by parents and providers is discussed.

▼ Schooling forms a large part of a child’s life experience and schools are recognised as an appropriate setting for health promotion activities. Characteristics of schools have been associated with various health outcomes. The association between aspects of schools and child oral health outcomes was assessed for a sample of
children from New South Wales, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory. Parents of a random sample of 5,418
children aged 5–14 years responded to self-complete surveys, and
children participated in a dental examination. Parent perceptions of their child’s school were collected as were administrative data for participating schools from the MySchool website (including school type, socioeconomic information, number of students and teachers and percentage of students from non-English speaking background). Various health outcome measures were assessed across three sample populations: full sample (
children aged 5–14 years), deciduous dentition subset (
children aged 5–10 years, n=3,477) and permanent dentition subset (
children aged 9–14 years, n=3,044). These included parent-rated health and oral health (PRH and PROH), presence of deciduous and permanent caries (poc and POC), deciduous and permanent decayed, missing and filled surfaces (dmfs and DMFS), and deciduous and permanent untreated decayed surfaces (ud and UD). Multilevel, multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted on outcome measures, using child sociodemographic information, MySchool information and parent perception of schools at individual-level (collected) and at school-level (amalgamated). Reference models for all outcome measures showed significant school-level variation. Among dichotomised outcome measures the Median Odds Ratio (MOR) was between 1.09 (deciduous PROH) and 1.50 (deciduous PRH). Among continuous outcome measures, the Intraclass Correlation (ICC) was between 2.5% (dmfs) and 5.3% (UD). The effects were small but have the potential for large consequences when considering population-level impact. In adjusted models, child-level parent perceptions of school variables demonstrated a higher number of significant associations with outcome measures in the permanent rather than the deciduous subset, particularly among clinical outcome measures. School socioeconomic status was persistently associated with outcome measures in the deciduous but not the permanent subset. The opposite was seen for teacher workload. Of school-level parent perceptions of school variables, school relations demonstrated the most persistent associations with outcomes. Better parent perceptions of school were generally associated with better oral health outcomes among
children. Outcomes in the permanent subset saw more school-level variation explained in models than outcomes in the deciduous subset, potentially representing effects of longer exposure to school
environment among older than younger
children. School-level parent perception variables explained more variance than individual-level, supporting the concept of relevant…

▼ America was the leader in quantity and quality of high school diplomas. Today, it is ranked thirty six in the world. Some of the main factors that affect education in America are witnessing us on a daily basis. These factors affect our visual, thermal and auditory comfort levels. As environmentalists we strive to find solutions to these problems. Unfortunately, some designers aim their designs to merely aesthetics. Leaving out the environmental factor of thermal comfort to be dictated by mechanically engineers and not paying attention to how occupants interact with sound within the built
environment. Today I will discuss how to design for the ears, and how sound has a major role in education promoting
Children's health and wellbeing. Education reach its way to our minds through listening in adequate
environment. Optimum design appreciates and is tailored to experiencing all five senses. Goal of this research: Design proper noise levels for classrooms to provide students with an optimal learning
environment is imperative. Reverberation times need to be carefully sized and calculated, particularly in the primary grades when the young student's ears are not fully developed. Conduct background noise and reverberation time measurements in classrooms to assess the problem and recommend solutions. Acoustic performance design is vital. Good Sound = Happy Sound.

▼ Students spend the majority of their day indoors (Kats, 2012). The school environment becomes an crucial location for children to experience contact with nature where it may otherwise be limited. The framework for this study included the Attention Restoration Theory, Stress Reduction Theory, and Biophilic Design. This study investigated the effects of biophilic attributes of water, plants, animals, natural materials, color, light, and air in elementary school classrooms with fourth and fifth-grade students. The quasi-experimental study included a pre-test, followed by the implementation of biophilic attributes in the two classrooms a week later, and a post-test five weeks after the implemented biophilic attributes remained in the classrooms. The expectation was that the presence of the biophilic attributes in the day to day environment of these classrooms would improve students’ awareness of nature. Findings showed that the implemented biophilic attributes did alter the awareness of nature in one of the classrooms, while the other classroom was not influenced after the post-test. This research begins to contribute to our understanding of the student awareness of biophilic attributes in elementary schools. There is a total of 1,845 public elementary schools consisting of grades PK-8, in the state of North Carolina. The research could be beneficial in understanding what attributes can be expanded in the classroom environment to benefit the students. It could also become beneficial in improving the designs of new and existing schools, as it could be a low-cost implementation. The goal of this study was to assess the awareness of biophilic design attributes in elementary school classrooms.

▼ THE AREA OF CONCERN This thesis looks at two actual neighbourhoods within Vancouver - a high density urban, and a low density suburban environment. Using these neighbourhood environments, an attempt is made to see if children act or are affected in ways which can be traced to the layout and amenities of the physical environment. Data has been gathered concerning the physical structure of the environments, and is examined in relation to how the children use these environments, and in relation to the attitudes that parents, or institutions responsible
for child socialization, have towards the effect of these environments on the children and themselves.
THE METHODS OF INVESTIGATION
This data has been gathered by my own observations, by interviewing children and key resource people who work or reside in the neighourhood, and by handing out questionnaires to parents involved with raising children in the sample areas.
CONCLUSIONS
The data shows that in different types of neighbourhood
communities, children use and interact with the environment in different ways. It shows that the behaviour of children is modified because of the physical environment they grow up within. It shows that children of different ages and sexes have differing needs, and
that their use of the environment is constantly changing as they grow and search for ways to satisfy these needs.
The analysis of this data begins to show deficiencies and strengths in the planning and layout of the physical environments, and how these potentially affect children. From this analysis certain proposed solutions have been arrived at - solutions which the author feels can make the child’s environment more appropriate to his developmental needs,and more in keeping with the desires of his family and self.

▼ This study examines the nature thoughts and feelings of 6 - 12 year-old children and their parents living in mountainous and city regions. It asks whether location and parental influences play roles in children's responses. Hypotheses assumed that participants in mountainous locations would be more connected with nature and that children's and parents' nature thoughts would correlate. Using mix-methods, surveys were distributed to 192 participants. Results illustrated that children in mountainous regions displayed more emotion words while children in the city displayed more descriptive words. No significant differences were found between parents. Compared to the urban sample, participants in mountainous regions felt that their environment was more a part of nature. Lastly, descriptive and total number of words correlated for parents and children. Recommendations include suggestions for curriculum design and childhood experiences. Parents, educators, and policy-makers should provide more unstructured outdoor play opportunities.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT : Primary school children’s perspectives on wellbeing and learning are always heard from the teachers’ or adults’ perspectives. It is seldom that learners are asked about their perspectives when it comes to their wellbeing and learning at school. Research has suggested that children are marginalised and not given an opportunity to participate in matters that concern them. According to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, Article 12 maintains that children have a right to express their views and have them taken seriously in accordance with their age and maturity. It has also been found that it has been one of the most challenging to implement. This study aimed to gain insight from the perspectives of the learners to be informed on what they think affects their wellbeing and learning at school. Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological model was used as a frame. Qualitative research, using visual methods, focus groups and classroom observations were used as tools to explore and then describe the participants’ perspectives. The study was conducted as a case study and purposive sampling was utilised to select the participants. Six girls and six boys from three Grade seven classes were selected. The participants gave their perspectives on factors that affect their wellbeing as they had been at the school longer than other learners. The data collected were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings suggested positive and negative aspects that affected the learners at school. Play or sport and extra-mural activities brought happiness to them though extramural activities are practised minimally at the school. Corporal punishment and bullying also emerged as themes that brought fear to the learners. From these findings it was recommended that the school be advised on bullying and on children’s rights in order to help them with drafting school policies that keep the children’s perspectives in mind.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING : Laerskoolkinders se perspektiewe oor welwees en leer word altyd vanuit die perspektief van onderwysers of volwassenes gehoor. Leerders word selde gevra oor hulle perspektiewe oor hul welwees en leer by die skool. Die navorsing dui daarop dat kinders gemarginaliseer word en nie ʼn geleentheid gebied word om deel te neem in kwessies wat hulle raak nie. Volgens Artikel 12 van die Verenigde Nasies se Konferensie oor die Regte van die Kind in 1989, het kinders ʼn reg om hul menings te lug en om ernstig opgeneem te word ooreenkomstig hul ouderdom en volwassenheid. Aanduidings is dat dit een van die mees uitdagende dinge is om te implementeer. Die studie het gepoog om vanuit die perspektiewe van die leerders insig te verkry oor hulle beskouings van wat hulle welwees en leer by die skool beïnvloed. Bronfenbrenner se bio-ekologiese model is as raamwerk gebruik. Kwalitatiewe navorsing met behulp van visuele metodes, fokusgroepe en waarnemings in die klaskamer is gebruik om die deelnemers se perspektiewe te verken en te beskryf. Die studie is as ʼn gevallestudie gedoen en…

▼ Misisi compound is a high density, low -income residential slum within the city of Lusaka. It has poor environmental health services, inadequate water supply and unhealthy housing. The poor environmental health and hygiene conditions expose children aged less than five years to various health problems including watery diarrhea. Watery diarrhea is a major health problem in Zambia. It is ranked one of the top three causes of mortality in children aged less than five years after malaria and acute respiratory infections. Objective:To determine environmental health and personal hygiene factors which put children aged less than five years old at risk of contracting watery diarrhea.
Setting:Misisi compound in Lusaka, Zambia. Method: A case control study was carried out in which a 1 in 2 systematic random sampling method was used to select cases and controls. Totals of 50 and 150 cases and controls, respectively, were to be recruited into the study. Data collection was carried out using face- to- face interviews on socioeconomic and demographic characteristics; environmental health and personal hygiene conditions; and, environmental sanitation and personal hygiene knowledge and practice of the respondents. Additional data were also collected by observation of the environmental sanitation and personal hygiene conditions of the respondents' households.. Pre-tested and validated structured questionnaires along with a check list were used as instruments
Results: A total of 45 cases and 142 controls were enrolled in the study. The following factors were significantly associated with diarrhea in bivariate analyses: knowledge that flies cause diarrhea; knowledge that dirty water and dirty food cause diarrhea; and, presence of too many flies and too much garbage around the house. Upon considering these factors, and , adjusting for the age of the child and educational level of the caretaker in a multivariate logistic regression, only knowledge that dirty food causes
diarrhea, presence of too much garbage around the house, and, education level of the caretaker were significantly associated with diarrhea.
Respondents who knew that dirty food causes diarrhea were 60% less likely to have a child suffering from diarrhea (OR=0.40, 95%CI 0.24-0.67) compared to respondents who had no knowledge. Children from homes where too much garbage was observed around the houses were twice (OR=2.04, 95%CI 1.16-3.60) more likely to suffer from diarrhea compared to children from homes where no garbage was observed around the houses. Parents with low education level were 60% (OR=0.40, 95%CI 0.39-0.91) less likely to have a child suffering from diarrhea compared to parents with higher education.
Conclusion:
Poor environmental health services were associated with diarrhea in children aged less than five years old in Misisi compound. The main environmental health factor which put children aged less than five years at risk of contracting watery diarrhea in this compound was the presence of too much garbage around the houses. Mothers with higher education…

Chapter 1. Introduction – Chapter 2. Literature review – Chapter 3. Methodology – Chapter 4. Findings – Chapter 5. Discussion – Chapetr 6. Conclusion.
In recent times there has been widespread media coverage of disaster news. Reports of flooding, volcanic eruptions and other hazardous events have tended to focus on images of children in vulnerable conditions. Children are portrayed as icons of suffering, in desperate need of external help. But, are children always helpless and passive victims in such fragile contexts? To what extent do children participate in addressing needs and coping within fragile circumstances? This study employs a case study methodology to investigate these issues.
The New Social Studies of Childhood provides the framework for examining the experiences of young children as they go about their everyday lived realities in a particular fragile and under-resourced community. The author spent several months documenting the lived experiences of 15 children aged between 6 and 8 years in one community in a typhoon-prone, flood-ridden region of the Philippines. The study used a popular tool (Hart's ladder of participation) to determine how children reflect meaningful and active participation as they carry out household and caretaking duties, and perform income-generating tasks for their families, Play-based activities such as drawing, role playing and community mapping were used to elicit children's ideas and insights of themselves, their families and their physical environments. Interviews, observations and video recordings were also employed to gather information pertinent to the children's day to day experiences.
It was found that an extension and enhancement of the 'ladder model' would be useful in order to encompass additional factors and elements which were not included in the original 'ladder' metaphor of analysis. Such factors include child relations, formal/informal activities, the physical environment and the socio-economic & cultural context. The author suggests that a "Seesaw model of participation" is an appropriate analytical tool because it emphasises that the dynamic relationships between children and their peers, and between children and adults are affected (or balanced by) family, community and cultural influences. The author further suggests that the 'seesaw' metaphor is a useful lens through which to assess child participation within fragile context(s).
The findings indicate that while children aged between 6 and 8 years are susceptible and vulnerable in fragile contexts, they are also efficacious, capable of selflessly providing support and contributing to the wellbeing of their own households and community. The study validates the notion that child participation is part of the everyday realities, and can, therefore, be utilised as both an asset and resource in providing support and contributing to the wellbeing of the household and community.

▼ Empirical evidence on the benefits of nature and the effectiveness of environmental education are increasing, but little evidence examining the effectiveness of environmental education programs with preschool
children exists. The current exploratory study examined the effectiveness of a pilot environmental education program, Heroes of the
Environment in Training, for increasing environmental knowledge and increasing positive environmental perceptions in preschool
children. A total of 107
children at six preschools in rural Northern California participated in the project.
Children were individually interviewed before and after the program to assess changes in their environmental knowledge and perceptions. Three preschool classrooms were randomly assigned to receive the program and three were exposed to story time not related to environmental education.
Results revealed that the environmental education program was effective in increasing environmental knowledge for boys in the experimental group and for older
children regardless of group. While results revealed that the environmental education program did not increase environmental perceptions, preschool
children had relatively positive environmental perceptions at time one, which were maintained over time. Girls in general had more positive environmental perceptions at both time one and time two. Past research has shown that extant positive perceptions in young
children decline in elementary school. Thus, perhaps program such as the current one can help prevent such decline.
These results from the current study can inform educators about how to integrate developmentally and culturally appropriate environmental education at the preschool level and encourages future research on early childhood environmental education and developing better, more psychometrically sound measures.

▼ According to James J. Gibson, the concept of the affordance refers to the functionally significant properties of the environment, and provides a psychologically relevant means to analyze evolving child-environment relationships. Affordances operationalize the transactional approach. Thus the concept allows researchers to bring the material environment back into the realm of environmental psychology. The framework of ecological perceptual psychology, and in particular the concept of the affordance, was utilized in determining the criteria for child-friendly environments. An assessment model for a child-friendly environment was constructed, which comprises two central criteria for environmental child friendliness: children's possibilities for independent mobility and their opportunities to actualize affordances. By combining various degrees of these two criteria, four hypothetical types of environment were distinguished, Bullerby, Wasteland, Cell, and Glasshouse. The Bullerby type represents a child-friendly environment, as it allows a positive interactive cycle to develop between a child and the environment. In the Bullerby type sufficient possibilities for independent mobility enables to a child to discover environmental affordances. Actualized affordances for their part motivate the child to move around more in the environment, which creates more possibilities for new affordances to become actualized. The empirical results from the study of eight- and nine-year-old children indicated that the developed model was sensitive enough to assess the child friendliness of different communities in Finland and Belarus (Belorussia). All hypothesized environmental types appeared in the data. Each neighborhood had a unique combination of affordances and independent mobility in terms of the model. The Bullerby type of setting abounded in the Finnish communities. The Cell, Wasteland, and Glasshouse types of environment were the most common in the Belorussian data. In general, the proportion of Bullerby-type settings decreased and that of Glasshouse-type settings increased as the degree of urbanization rose. The two-dimensional assessment model presented here could be further developed so that it includes a third dimension such as, for example, the emotional value of affordances for children. At the same time an essential future challenge for ecological perceptual psychology, that of studying the motivational basis of affordances, could be met. As the transactional approach of environmental psychology allows for the integration of children's experiences with the material world, it provides information that can be used in the design and planning of child-friendly environments.

▼ The aim of this thesis was to explore the development of
children who underwent epilepsy surgery, based on a series of questions that arose from the clinical care for these patients. Different aspects of cognitive outcome following epilepsy surgery in
children, in particular hemispherectomy, were explored. The study addressing the influence of AED withdrawal on intelligence quotient (IQ) was performed on data from a large European multicenter group of pediatric epilepsy surgery patients (TimeToStop study). The other studies are based on standardized longitudinal assessment performed in a cohort of Dutch
children who underwent epilepsy surgery in the UMCU between 1992 and 2009.
Chapter 2 provides a critical review of the literature with respect to predictors of cognitive change and eventual cognitive outcome after epilepsy surgery. Early surgical intervention may halt deterioration and open the possibility for appropriate development relative to the pre-surgical situation. It is, however, unlikely that surgery results in major improvement of MDI/DQ/IQ values. True developmental decline, in the sense of permanent deterioration, is rare. Multiple variables, of which many mutually dependent, determine cognitive development after epilepsy surgery. Unraveling their respective impacts requires studies in large cohorts and advanced statistical methodology. Chapter 3 reports on the attempt to detect change in mental development or intelligence over two years following functional hemispherectomy. Measuring mental age as a marker of development allows one to at least unveil and quantify minor change in poor cognitive functioning. Such change may go unnoticed when relying on intelligence quotients. We found that MRI-abnormalities in the ‘healthy’ contralateral hemisphere are significantly associated not only with seizure recurrence but also with severe mental delay and less increase in IQ-scores after functional hemispherectomy. Chapter 5 reports on functioning of patients five to eleven years after childhood hemispherectomy. At least half a decade after hemispherectomy, cognition, behavior and daily functioning vary from profound retardation and almost complete dependence on others to relatively unproblematic functioning. We retrospectively evaluated the impact of post-surgical antiepileptic drug (AED) withdrawal on psychomotor speed (chapter 6) as well as on intelligence (chapter 7), in seizure-free
children who had been operated on for pharmacoresistant epilepsy. We concluded that drug reduction after surgery improves psychomotor speed and IQ. Our findings are promising and add to the growing body of knowledge with respect to AED effects on several aspects of functioning. In Chapter 8 we report that
Children of higher educated parents had on average a larger increase in IQ after surgery and a higher post-surgical – but not pre-surgical – IQ than
children whose parents had completed at most lower secondary education. Environmental variables such as parental education should be considered in the prognosis of cognitive…

▼ The Liliane Foundation emphasizes the importance of parental support for
children with impairments in underdeveloped countries. The aim of this study was to describe to which extent
children and adolescents from 9 to 21 years old with a physical impairment in northern Tanzania received social support from their parents. Additionally, factors from parents’ social
environment that influenced the provided support were investigated. Data was collected through 36 semi-structured face-to-face interviews with
children and their parents and twelve interviews with local staff members. For additional information open observations and informal talks were included. The discussed topics were based on the Network of Relationship Inventory (NRI; Furman & Buhrmester, 1985). The results showed that
children received parental support to some degree. The types of support that were mentioned most, were material and emotional support. Furthermore, the factors from parents’ social
environment that influenced the provision of support were: information provision, poverty, lack of time, beliefs and culture, of which culture resulted to be of most influence. Many challenges are faced when it comes to the provision of parental support to physically impaired
children in northern Tanzania. To reduce the negative effects of social
environment, and to ensure improvements in parental support, recommendations are presented.

▼ The school food
environment, defined as, ‘when and where
children obtain food and the types of options available during the school day’, has been identified as an ideal setting for health promotion efforts to support and promote healthy eating behaviours. However, characterizing the school food
environment is a necessary first step to guide the development of health promotion initiatives. The purpose of this dissertation was to characterize the school food
environment in Dominica for health promotion. Three research questions were addressed: 1) What types of food are sold and consumed in public primary schools in Dominica (Chapter 4-Study 1)? 2) What are the perceptions of stakeholders of the school food
environment (Chapter 5-Study 2)? 3) How effective is a recipe challenge in providing
children with opportunities to be agents of change in creating healthy food options to promote a healthy school food
environment? (Chapter 6- Study 3)? Overall, this thesis took a multi-method research design. Data were collected in three phases through a variety of methods, including telephone survey and individual interviews with school principals, focus groups with school teachers, individual interviews with vendors, and individual interviews with personnel form government ministries of health and education, food frequency consumption survey among students and a recipe challenge.
The findings suggest that 1) food outlets within the school food
environment included tuck shops, vendors, shops, and school feeding programs; 2) a variety of commercially prepared and home-made snack foods were sold from the tuck shops and vendors; 3)stakeholders identified many barriers to healthy eating including parents and peers, food available at food outlets, and lack of a national school food policy and few facilitators to healthy eating including the school meal program and weekly held fruit days. The recipe contest was a modest success in demonstrating the potential for
children to create foods options to promote a healthy school food
environment. The study makes several recommendations for health promotion: government should capitalize on the food policy option for regulating the school food
environment, and link local food production to schools and health promoters should empower
children to be agents of change. Recommendations for future research are also provided.

▼ Approximately one third of Canada’s youth are overweight or obese. Children living in low socioeconomic status (SES) households are at greater risk of this condition. Little research examines how mobility and time shape accessibility to food environments and physical activity (PA) facilities, two likely determinants of health expected to vary by SES. Using data from Project BEAT, a study investigating the built environment and Toronto schoolchildren’s active travel, this thesis examines how SES shapes children’s accessibility to food establishments and PA facilities. The activity space construct is used in order to incorporate mobility and time into measures of accessibility. Results indicate that higher SES is associated with greater accessibility and access to PA facilities and lower accessibility to fast food establishments. Furthermore, accessibility to PA facilities and retail food establishments varies over the week. This thesis contributes a more comprehensive understanding of how mobility, time, and SES shape children’s health.

▼ Background: Canadian
children and youth are not getting enough physical activity (PA), and spend on average 8.6 waking hours of their day in a sedentary state. Current trends of PA behavior among
children are concerning; has prompted research investigating the correlates and determinants of PA in young people. The neighbourhood built
environment (BE) has increasingly been identified as an important potential contributor to levels of PA. However, the scientific evidence of BE influences on children’s PA is still developing, compared to that among adults. A better understanding whether and how BE influence
children's PA behaviors may help to identify interventions to promote active lifestyles from childhood.
Research aim: This study seeks to examine the potential influences of both children’s perceived and objective BE attributes on objectively-assessed multiple PA outcomes, specifically: Light physical activity (LPA), Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and Sedentary time (ST), in
children aged 9-14 years living in Saskatoon, Canada.
Methodology: This study draws on data from the Smart Cities Healthy Kid’s (SCHK), and subsequent Seasonality and Active Saskatoon Kids (SASK) study.
Children aged 9-14 years were recruited from the prairie city of Saskatoon, Canada. Neighborhood-scale objective BE characteristics were collected by independent trained assessors using two validated, replicable audit tools (Neighborhood Active Living Potential, NALP, and Irvine Minnesota Inventory, IMI).
Children were surveyed on their perceptions of their neighbourhood BE and PA outcomes were objectively monitored (using accelerometer) for one week at three different time periods over a 1 year period. Using a mixed effect model, a multilevel modeling approach was taken to understand the association between BE characteristics and children’s PA outcomes.
Results: Children’s perceived availability of parks and sidewalks predicted higher accumulation of MVPA and lower accumulation of ST in
children. Children’s report of the absence of neighbourhood social disorder (e.g. threats from scary dogs/people) was associated with increased LPA, while reported concern for crime was associated with decreased MVPA. As expected, the highest level of observed activity friendliness was associated with decreased ST, however, the highest level of observed safety from crime was associated with increased ST and decreased PA.
Conclusion: Overall safe, walkable, and activity friendly neighbourhoods were found to influence
children's activity behaviors. Even so, perceptions of the BE were more strongly associated with children’s PA outcomes than with objectively measured BE. Further context-specific studies and understanding of the policy process that influence changes are required.

▼ Child pedestrian injury and mortality is an issue of significant public health concern in the city of Johannesburg, Gauteng, in South Africa. Since there is a paucity of studies in the last decade or more on fatal childhood traffic and non-traffic injuries in Johannesburg, this study aspires to address the disproportion in this domain of research, and provide more recent, and comprehensive empirical evidence over a ten-year period. The overarching aim of this study was to describe and examine the magnitude, circumstances, and neighbourhood characteristics of fatal pedestrian injuries among
children (0-14 years) in Johannesburg for the period from 2001 to 2010. More specifically, the objectives of the study were: firstly, to provide a comprehensive epidemiological description of the magnitude, trends and occurrence of pedestrian mortality among
children; secondly, to describe and examine the epidemiology of child pedestrian mortality in relation to
children as motor vehicle passengers; thirdly, to describe and examine child pedestrian mortality in relation to non-traffic injuries, in particular, burns and drowning; and fourthly, to assess the influence of neighbourhood characteristics on child pedestrian mortality. The study conceptualised pedestrian road safety within an ecological systems framework. The study used quantitative descriptive, and multivariate logistic regression methods of analysis to examine child pedestrian mortality data. The study drew on data from the National Injury Mortality Surveillance System (NIMSS) and the Census 2001. The main findings indicated that black, male
children aged 5 to 9 years (11.02/100 000) are the most vulnerable, and that mortality occurred predominantly during the afternoons and early evenings (12h00-16h00 and 16h00-21h00), over weekends, during school holidays, and to a lesser extent, during non-holiday months. In addition, neighbourhood characteristics that reflected concentrations of disadvantage, single female-headed households and residentially stable areas were associated with child pedestrian mortality. The study findings highlight the
need for critical action in terms of investment in child pedestrian safety research, and appropriate prevention initiatives guided by stringent evidenced-based studies, and the design of safe pedestrian, vehicular and urban environments.

▼ There is evidence in the literature that early school readiness predicts later school performance (Duncan et al., 2007; La Paro and Pianta, 2000). There is less research, however, on the impact of risk factors on a child's school readiness, and protective factors that may lessen the negative effects of various risk factors. This study explored predictors of school readiness, including cumulative socio-demographic risk, the home
environment, and interactive book reading behaviors. Participants included 104 young mothers and their
children. The mother and child dyads were assessed at three time points. Cumulative socio-demographic risk was measured in the lab when the
children were 18 months old. The home
environment and interactive book reading were collected at the mothers' homes when the
children were 24 months old. The outcome measure of school readiness was collected at the mothers' homes when the
children were 36 months old. It was expected that cumulative socio-demographic risk, the home
environment and interactive reading behaviors would each predict school readiness. It was also hypothesized that the home
environment would moderate the relationship between cumulative risk and school readiness. Finally, it was expected that interactive reading behaviors would mediate the relationship between cumulative risk and school readiness. Multiple regression and hierarchical linear regressions were used to conduct statistical analyses. Cumulative socio-demographic risk, the home
environment, and interactive book reading behaviors were not significant predictors of school readiness, after controlling for child's temperament, gender, and maternal receptive vocabulary. The home
environment did not moderate the relationship between cumulative socio-demographic risk and school readiness. Finally, interactive book reading behaviors did not mediate the relationship between cumulative socio-demographic risk and school readiness.

▼ Schools are important environments for health as
children spend a majority of their day at school. The increased availability of food resources in school neighborhoods is a growing concern, yet the school neighborhood food
environment is understudied. Food
environment policies can regulate the development of food resources potentially limiting exposure to unhealthy food resources and promoting access to healthy food resources. However, evaluation of food
environment policies in the U.S. and Mexico has been poor, limiting our knowledge of these policies. Cross-country policy comparisons can further increase our knowledge and understanding of food
environment policies, yet few cross-country policy comparisons have been conducted. The aims of this study were to evaluate and compare food
environment policies in school neighborhoods in Houston, Texas and Guadalajara while simultaneously assessing the food
environment in school neighborhoods in both cities. Food
environment policies were collected at the county level in four Houston and four Guadalajara counties and coded to determine the food resource types, zoning districts, and provisions allowed in each policy. The school neighborhood food
environment was assessed in 16 Houston school neighborhoods and 11 Guadalajara school neighborhoods using the Goods and Services Inventory. Most Houston food
environment policies (N=25) allowed for the development of unhealthy food resources, yet few food resources were found in Houston school neighborhoods (M=3.0, SD=9.3). However, the food resources that were found in Houston school neighborhoods were table-service restaurants and convenience stores, which have been negatively associated with diet and weight in
children. Few Houston food
environment policies promoted the development of healthy food resources, which may explain the lack of supermarkets and grocery stores in all but one Houston school neighborhood. Guadalajara food
environment policies (N=41) also allowed for the development of unhealthy food resources, yet Guadalajara had more policies that also promoted the development of healthy food resources compared to Houston. Guadalajara school neighborhoods were saturated with food resources (M=64.4, SD=13.4). While every Guadalajara school neighborhood had at least one supermarket or grocery store, there was high availability of convenience stores, table-service restaurants, and food carts, which were more prevalent in low-socioeconomic neighborhoods. Only one policy in Guadalajara prohibited convenience stores from developing near schools. The lack of food
environment policies that specifically addressed schools was a major policy gap in both cities. These findings suggest that food
environment policies in Houston should be modified to promote more development of healthy food resources and food
environment policies in Guadalajara should be modified to limit the availability of unhealthy resources in school neighborhoods. In order to promote healthy dietary habits in
children, the policy and food
environment in school…

▼ In this study a proposal on self-monitoring control focusing on cleaning and ventilation systems have been developed for schools in the municipality of Vindeln. The aim of this study was to enhance the ability of schools to meet the demands of the Swedish environmental code. Interviews with school principals and a checklist of questions about the schools’ procedures were used in the development of self-monitoring control. The study showed that even though schools largely meets the requirements on cleaning and ventilation they do not fulfil the demands of the Swedish environmental code. Many factors need to be taken into account, such as increase of knowledge and risks assessment of environmental and health issues. A self-monitoring control can help the school authorities and environmental and health protection authorities in their work on fulfilling the demands.

▼ The purpose of my study is to describe how educators think about the play environment, the nature and its importance for the children's development and learning in preschool. The study is based on qualitative interviews with four active educators. The results of the study show that the teachers regarded the children's interests to a great extent when the different play environments were structured. They are also based on different themes that they have seen that the children were interested in, such as the fire station, hair salon or shop and café. Educators designing not only these play areas for different types of play for the children, but the different environments also have a learning purpose. The outdoor environment however attracts greater interest from children, to where they have more space to move freely in and outdoors, there are no limits to the children. The study also shows that the material or toys should be placed at such a level that the children can take what they need in their game or activity, to avoid having to ask an adult for help when they want something that they cannot reach.
Syftet med min studie är att beskriva hur pedagogerna tänker om lekmiljöns utformning och dess betydelse för barns utveckling och lärande i förskolan. Undersökningen bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer från fyra verksamma pedagoger. Resultatet av studien visar att pedagogerna utgår mycket från barnens intressen när de olika lekmiljöerna utformas. De utgår även från olika teman som de har sett att barnen har varit intresserade av, till exempel brandstation, frisörsalong eller affär och café. Pedagogerna utformar inte bara dessa lekmiljöer till olika typer av lek för barnen, utan de olika miljöerna har även ett lärande syfte. Utomhusmiljön däremot visar barnen ett större intresse att vistas i, för där har de större ytor att röra sig fritt på och utomhus finns det inga begränsningar för barnen. Studiens resultat visar också att materialet eller leksakerna bör placeras på en sådan nivå så barnen själva kan ta det de behöver till sin lek eller aktivitet, för att slippa be en vuxen om hjälp när de vill ha något som de inte når.

▼ Progressive education is bringing students back in contact with nature, and the result has been higher test scores, greater respect for the
environment, and fewer behavioral problems. Precedence for outdoor education ranges from the Waldkindergärten model of total outdoor immersion to Seattle's current practice of annual trips to IslandWood and Mercer Slough. Given the benefits of more regular environmental immersion, this thesis proposes an outdoor education campus within the city where middle school students spend up to one afternoon per week as part of the standard school curriculum. Drawing from the 1600 year-old tradition of Duwamish settlement on the new campus's West Seattle site, the themes of Native spaces, Native actions, and Native traditions will be used to inform three distinct educational nodes, restore the natural
environment, and serve as a community learning hub.

▼ South Africa has a high rate of children’s burn injuries with 1300 deaths annually. These burn injuries are considered preventable and South African research has identified this as a priority concern. South African childhood burn injury studies have mainly focused on expert and parents’/caregivers’ descriptions and accounts. Despite their particular vulnerability, children’s perspectives have not been consistently accommodated in the identification of childhood injury risk phenomena or in the development and implementation of safety interventions. Using a qualitative approach this study investigates children’s perceptions of causation and prevention of burn injuries. Study data was collected from Khayelitsha, Site C and Philippi, Samora Machel in Cape Town as these areas have reported elevated rates of thermal and fire-related burn injuries. Study data were collected using three isiXhosa focus group discussions based on a convenience sample of 10 – 11 years old
children ranging between 4 – 6 participants per group. They were selected based on verbal ability, age, residential area and ability to speak either English or isiXhosa. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the results. The themes demonstrate that
children appreciate the magnitude of burns in their communities and attribute the problem to factors ranging from themselves, their social conditions and mostly their parents/caregivers. The
children emphasized the importance of parental supervision and risk avoidance by the child and adults in prevention. This study recommends an integrated approach to burn injury prevention interventions and calls for the inclusion of
children in studies concerning the wellbeing and safety of
children.

▼ Childhood obesity rates have risen dramatically since 1981, in part due to decreased physical activity (PA) levels. Research suggests that PA is influenced in part by an individual’s exposure to and engagement with their built environment. Using a multi-tool protocol, this thesis examines how (a) neighbourhood opportunities facilitate or constrain children’s moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and (b) contextual environmental exposure facilitates or constrains children’s MVPA. Results suggest that children’s MVPA is influenced by their built environment, but more so by the contextual environments that they are directly exposed to rather than their overall neighbourhood settings. Children are mobile and unlikely to never leave their neighbourhood, especially considering that many parents drive their children to activities outside their neighbourhood. Examining contextual environmental exposure is a novel approach that can be used by researchers to clarify the environments that exert an influence on children’s MVPA.

▼ School environments provide an ideal setting for
children to develop and adopt active living behaviors as a way of life. The primary purpose of this investigation was to describe state, district and school level policy regarding in-school physical activity, the school built
environment and in-school physical activity of
children ages 6 through 11 years in the Mississippi delta. A mixed-methods approach was used to garner a rich understanding of how current policy and the built
environment influence in-school physical activity and weight status. Eleven public schools in three districts representing two counties in the Mississippi delta participated in this investigation. The mean physical education class time was 39.2 minutes +8.13 (range 38.33; 95% ci = 37.66 - 40.75). The mean percent of physical education class time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was 36.43% + 1.5% (95% ci = 33.57 - 39.28), a mean of 13.99 minutes + 5.78 (range 27.0; 95% ci = 12.89 - 15.08). A significant relationship was found between
children's in-school physical activity and their BMI (r = 0.629; p = 0.05). There were significant inverse relationships between the presence and quality of amenities to the school built
environment and the students BMI (r = -0.619; p = 0.04), waist-to-height ratio (r = -0.819; p = 0.002) and total body weight (r = -0.615; p = 0.044). There was also a significant inverse relationship between the presence and quality of built
environment features and waist-to-height ratio (r = -0.713; p = 0.014). There was no significant relationship between
children's in-school physical activity and aspects of the school built
environment. If students are given the opportunity for unstructured daily physical activity it is likely they will meet current physical activity guidelines. Two of the schools in this investigation provided little opportunity for physical activity through recess and physical education classes and had the highest BMI scores. Not surprising, when students in these schools were given the opportunity to be physically activity they were among the most physically active students in this study. Despite Mississippi state law, school districts and schools are failing to adhere to policies that provide students the opportunity to engage in 150-minutes of weekly physical activity and are in violation of current state law.

▼ This thesis presents the findings of a qualitative, phenomenological study of the lived experiences of parents of
children with asthma when making decisions regarding physical activity. The perceptions and beliefs of parents in relation to physical activity and the physical
environment were also explored. Eight parents of
children with asthma between the ages of five to twelve years old participated in this study. Within the verbatim transcripts of the in-depth interviews four major themes emerged. Parents acknowledged the importance of physical activity and its role in promoting the health and well-being of their
children with asthma. Although parents experienced worry and fear in relation to their child???s asthma, parents felt that through good asthma management and communication they are able to normalize living with asthma and support their
children???s participation in physical activity. Parents considered the physical
environment when making decisions regarding physical activity; parents were aware of environmental factors which could trigger or exacerbate their child???s asthma symptoms during physical activity. The knowledge constructed in this study suggests that for parents of
children with asthma, having asthma did not influence parents to restrict their
children???s participation in physical activity. Instead, parents worked to minimize asthma symptoms which may arise during physical activity. These findings have implications for healthcare professionals to work with parents to further solidify their stance on the beneficial role of physical activity for
children with asthma.
