Davis SL, Soistmann HC. Child's perceived stress: A concept analysis. J Pediatr Nurs 2022; 67:15-26. [PMID: 35882112 PMCID: PMC10167593 DOI: 10.1016/j.pedn.2022.07.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2021] [Revised: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
PROBLEM Child's perceived stress is a term used widely in literature, yet it is poorly defined. Perceived stress in childhood has been linked to negative health outcomes throughout the lifespan. Therefore, the ability of researchers and healthcare providers to conceptualize child's perceived stress and form accurate measures of the concept is of utmost importance. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Following the eight steps identified by Walker and Avant, a literature review was conducted to identify studies that measured perceived stress in school-age children over the last 10 years. SAMPLE Of 914 records identified, 136 were screened, and 16 met inclusion criteria. RESULTS Child's perceived stress is best defined as any actual or imagined threat, personal and specific to childhood, which overwhelms the child and leads to changes in emotional, psychological, developmental, and/or physiological domains. CONCLUSIONS While the concept of child's perceived stress is understood similarly throughout studies, there is notable variation in the way child's perceived stress is measured. Because of the specificity of perceived stress to childhood, and the wide range of what may be perceived as stressful by the child, the child is the best reporter of child's perceived stress. IMPLICATIONS Researchers and clinicians must use child self-report tools to measure the concept of child's perceived stress. Opportunities exist for healthcare workers to intervene, educate, and help children and families recognize and manage child's perceived stress. This concept analysis includes many resources that practitioners may use to help alleviate stress in children.

Abstract
Background Serum Cholinesterase (CHE) levels have been found to be elevated in individuals with nephrotic syndrome (NS); nevertheless, it is unknown whether CHE can serve as a biomarker for NS diagnosis and what its diagnostic relevance is for NS in minors. Methods In this study, 138 minors aged 1–17 years with NS were enrolled, including 101 patients with the first episode of NS and 37 patients with relapsing NS. One hundred and four minors suffering from nephritis and 109 healthy minors were included as control groups. The clinical information and laboratory data of all NS patients and the control group were obtained. Logistic regression, correlation analyses and receiver operator characteristic curve were used to examine the value of CHE for NS patients. Results Compared to patients diagnosed with nephritis and healthy minors in the control group, the serum CHE levels of total/first episode/relapsing NS patients were substantially higher (P < 0.05). The CHE was an independent risk predictor of total (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 2.23, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.57–3.18)/first episode (adjusted OR = 4.02, 95% CI: 1.47–11.08)/relapsing (adjusted OR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.42–2.93) NS, and was positively correlated with total cholesterol in total/first episode/relapsing NS patients, respectively. The optimal cutoff for total/first episode/relapsing NS all was 11 KU/L, but the diagnostic accuracy in first episode NS (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.94–0.98) was higher than the total NS (AUC = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.91–0.96) and relapsing NS (AUC = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.78–0.92). Conclusion CHE is a possible biomarker for NS and has good diagnostic accuracy for NS in minors, particularly for the first episode of NS in minors.

Abstract
Background Both albuminuria and depression are associated with cardiovascular disease, reflecting low-grade systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. They share risk factors including weight, blood pressure, smoking and blood glucose levels. This longitudinal study aimed to examine bidirectional associations between depression symptoms, indexed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS), and the inflammation marker albuminuria. Methods 2909 persons provided urine samples in both the second (HUNT2, 1995–97) and third wave (HUNT3, 2006–2008) of the Trøndelag Health Survey, Norway. We used a generalized linear regression model (GLM) and ANOVA to assess the association between albuminuria levels (exposure HUNT2) with depression symptoms (outcome in HUNT3); and between depression symptoms (exposure HUNT2) with albuminuria (outcome HUNT3). Depression symptoms were measured with the HADS Depression Scale, analyzed utilising the full 7 items version and analyses restricted to the first 4 items (HADS-D and HADS-4). We accounted for confounders including baseline individual levels of the exposure variables. Results In this 10-years follow-up study, we found no statistical evidence for an association between baseline depression symptoms and subsequent albuminuria, nor between baseline albuminuria and subsequent depression symptoms. For albuminuria, only 0.04% was explained by prior depression, and for depression, only 0.007% was explained by previous albuminuria levels. The results were essentially the same for the shorter HADS-4 measure. Conclusion There does not appear to be a longitudinal association between albuminuria and depression measured by the HADS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is one of the most common childhood kidney diseases. During the active phase, the disease pathogenesis affects various biological functions linked to loss of proteins negatively, which can result in systemic complications. Complications of childhood NS are divided into two categories: disease-associated complications and drug-associated complications. However, complications in pediatric patients with NS, especially disease-associated complications are still limited. Although reported in the literature, information is not comprehensive and needs to be updated. This study aimed to systematically assess systemic complications in children with NS, especially disease-associated complications, to better understand how they impact outcomes. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of several databases: BioMed Central Pediatrics, PubMed, Google Scholar, the National Library of Medicine, Cochrane Library, CINAHL/EBSCO, British Medical Journal, Science Direct, Scopus, and Elsevier's ClinicalKey. We followed the PRISMA guidelines to plan, conduct, and report this review. We used the Joanna Briggs Institute's critical appraisal tools for assuring the quality of the journal articles that were chosen. RESULTS Eleven articles concerning complications in childhood NS were analyzed. Systemic disease-associated complications in covered were cardiovascular complications, infections, thyroid-hormone complication, kidney complications, and oral health complications. CONCLUSION NS is marked by heavy proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia, which can result in systemic disease-associated complications. Cardiovascular complications, infections, thyroid-hormone complications, kidney complications, and oral health complications are the main systemic complications in childhood NS. It is essential that health-care providers prevent these complications for proper maintenance of patients' health.

Albuminuria as a risk factor for mild cognitive impairment and dementia-what is the evidence? Nephrol Dial Transplant 2021; 37:ii55-ii62.

Abstract
Kidney dysfunction can profoundly influence many organ systems, and recent evidence suggests a potential role for increased albuminuria in the development of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia. Epidemiological studies conducted in different populations have demonstrated that the presence of increased albuminuria is associated with a higher relative risk of MCI or dementia both in cross-sectional analyses and in studies with long-term follow-up. The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of albuminuria's effect are as yet insufficiently studied, with several important knowledge gaps still present in a complex relationship with other MCI and dementia risk factors. Both the kidney and the brain have microvascular similarities that make them sensitive to endothelial dysfunction involving different mechanisms, including oxidative stress and inflammation. The exact substrate of MCI and dementia is still under investigation, however available experimental data indicate that elevated albuminuria and low glomerular filtration rate are associated with significant neuroanatomical declines in hippocampal function and grey matter volume. Thus, albuminuria may be critical in the development of cognitive impairment and its progression to dementia. In this review, we summarize the available evidence on albuminuria's link to MCI and dementia, point to existing gaps in our knowledge and suggest actions to overcome them. The major question of whether interventions that target increased albuminuria could prevent cognitive decline remains unanswered. Our recommendations for future research are aimed at helping to plan clinical trials and to solve the complex conundrum outlined in this review, with the ultimate goal of improving the lives of patients with chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the clinical utility of the Distress Thermometer (DT) in non-cancer populations. METHODS The search was performed between the 6th and the 18th of April 2020, on the following databases: Web of Science (all databases included), Scopus and Science Direct. One last update was performed on 5 June 2020. The findings were reported using the PRISMA-ScR. RESULTS Fifty-three studies were included. Overall results indicated that this tool has been used in several contexts and populations (clinical and non-clinical). The DT is highly accessible, suitable and relevant for health professionals and/or researchers who aim to use it as a distress screening tool, particularly in patients with chronic physical conditions. Assumptions about its practicality and acceptability in non-oncology care should be made with caution since few studies have explored the psychometric qualities of this instrument, the completers' perceptions about completing the DT and the perceptions of health professionals who administer the tool. CONCLUSIONS This lack of information undermines conclusions about the overall clinical utility of the DT as a screening tool for distress in individuals who do not have cancer. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Future research should aim to fill this gap and investigate the psychometric qualities of the DT through validation studies and, thus, increase the rigour of its application and clinical utility in non-oncological contexts.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids are potent anti-inflammatory agents that are commonly used in the treatment of various glomerular diseases. Data from in vitro and in vivo studies, in both animals and humans, convincingly demonstrate that glucocorticoids have many beneficial direct effects on glomeruli, including podocytes, suggesting that, in theory, systemic administration is not necessary to achieve therapeutic benefit. Indeed, it is increasingly recognized that systemic steroids often have an unfavorable risk-to-benefit ratio. As we move into an age of personalized medicine, strategies to develop targeted steroid delivery systems and individualized risk assessment algorithms are desirable in clinicians' efforts to "first, do no harm."
