Strategies For Salivary Cortisol Collection And Analysis In Research With Children, Kirsten Hanrahan, Ann Mccarthy, Charmaine Kleiber, S. Lutgendorf, E. Tsalikian

Kirsten M. Hanrahan

Salivary cortisol has emerged in pediatric research as an easy-to-collect, relatively inexpensive, biologic marker of stress. Cortisol is highly variable and is responsive to a wide range of factors that should be considered when incorporating this measure into research with children. Strategies for sample collection include: (1) standardizing the time for sample collection, including baseline samples; (2) using consistent collection materials and methods; (3) controlling for certain drinks, foods, medications, and diagnoses; and (4) establishing procedures and protocols. Other strategies for laboratory analyses include: (1) selecting the appropriate assay and laboratory; (2) identifying units of measure and norms; and (3) …

Longing: The Lived Experience Of Spirituality In Adolescents With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, S. Pehler, Martha Craft-Rosenberg

Martha J. Craft-Rosenberg

Although much has been written regarding ill adolescents, research has not described their spiritual response. The purpose of this descriptive phenomenological study was to describe the lived experiences of spirituality in adolescents with Duchenne muscular dystrophy using van Manen's phenomenological method. Findings from nine teens showed that the essential theme of spirituality was "longing," the strong desire for something unattainable. Consistent with Reed's (1992) paradigm for understanding spirituality, participants mediated their longing through "Connecting with others, self, and beyond self." These findings support the need for nursing to assess spirituality in teens and determine developmentally appropriate interventions to ameliorate longing.

Responding To Depression In Parents, Joanne Nicholson, Jonathan Clayfield

Joanne Nicholson

Pediatric professionals may naturally view themselves as gatekeepers or facilitators of access to mental health services for children, but may not see themselves as the first line of "defense" for parents with mental health issues. However, about two thirds of women who meet criteria for affective disorders, and slightly more than half of the men who do, are parents. Given that the average age of onset for affective disorders is several years after the birth of first children, parental depression may initially come to the attention of pediatric providers, the most likely professionals with whom parents have contact prior to …
