We introduced the Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) and the Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) to the staff (nurses and childcare workers) of a residential facility for handicapped children. Changes observed in three children’s behavior during these programs were evaluated by staff, using the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI). Results showed that the ECBI values improved along with clinical improvement. CARE and PCIT lessened children’s problem behaviors and encouraged their socializing development, thus we concluded that introduction of those programs is effective.
A mobile application-based questionnaire survey was conducted on the actual use of oral midazolam solution. Responses were obtained from 102 guardians of patients with epilepsy. Fifty-seven guardians (56%) reported oral midazolam solution use, and its efficacy was estimated to be approximately 50—70%; when seizure cessation within 10 minutes was considered effective. About half of the guardians answered that it was more effective than diazepam suppositories. However, respiratory depression was observed in 10 patients (18%). Furthermore, 96% and 87% of the guardians wanted it performed by paramedics or others including teachers, preschool teachers, and caregivers, respectively; showing a high percentage.
