The purpose of this pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to intervene with parents of overweight/obese 4- to 8-year-old children to improve child internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Parent–child dyads ( N = 60) were randomly assigned to treatment or comparison conditions. Parents attended four intervention sessions at their child’s primary health care office over 3 months. Child behaviors were assessed at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months post intervention. Parental beliefs in their skills/abilities increased in the experimental group parents, but there was no statistical difference between groups at any time. Child externalizing behaviors significantly decreased from baseline to postintervention for both groups ( F = 3.26, p = .020). Post hoc model testing suggests that this change was more pronounced in the intervention group ( F = 0.56, p = .692). Child somatic symptoms significantly decreased over time ( F = 4.55, p = .004), and there were group differences in child depressive behaviors ( F = 6.19, p = .020). These findings suggest that a parent-focused intervention program demonstrated positive preliminary effects on children’s behaviors.

The aim of this chapter is to describe a trauma experienced among blue collar employees at the XYZ car factory in Turkey. Demonstrations led to a halt of production after the representative union signed higher salary at another factory. After the consensus among the parties the production was restarted. However, the trauma and its symptoms emerged. Conflicts and polarization rose among the workers and the employer decided to conduct an intervention program. This study focuses on the pre-intervention, pilot intervention and main intervention programs. Descriptive quotations related to the trauma and the implications of the intervention program are discussed in the light of a theoretical framework. In the present paper, a brief background of the automotive industry and labor unions will be presented. The theoretical perspective is put forward, the implemented program is described, and the descriptive findings are presented then the findings and implications are discussed.

Abstract Background: Hand Hygiene, either by hand washing or hand disinfection, remains the single most important measure to prevent nosocomal infections. Objective: To increase Hand Hygiene compliance to at least 10% among health care staffs in female and medical wards after six months of a pilot intervention program. Methods: It was a pre-post intervention study in Najran Armed forces Hospital during the year 2015. knowledge was assessed using WHO's hand hygiene questionnaire Measurement of attitude was done on the basis of 13 questions where the subjects had to give their opinion on a 1 to 5 point Liker Scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Compliance was measured and directly observed by experienced infection control linkers. Results: the results of our study showed a positive effect of the pilot intervention program on knowledge, attitude and compliance on hand hygiene. An increase in compliance of 6.44% and 7.56% were observed in Female Ward and Male Ward respectively in post-intervention. Conclusions: All should be done to maintain the positive trend of hand hygiene compliance. The infection control team should be encouraged to maintain a continuous monitoring of hand hygiene compliance and have a positive interaction with the health staff.
