A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial of the Archena Infancia Saludable Project on 24-h Movement Behaviors and Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet among Schoolchildren: a Pilot Study Protocol
Objective: The aim of this paper is to describe the protocol of pilot cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will evaluate the effects of a lifestyle-based intervention. The Archena Infancia Saludable project will have several objectives. The primary objective of this project is to determine the 6-month effects of a lifestyle-based intervention on adherence to 24-h movement behaviors and Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) in schoolchildren. The secondary objective of this project is to test the intervention effects of this lifestyle-based intervention on a relevant set of health-related outcomes (i.e., anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, perceived physical fitness, sleep habits, and academic performance). The tertiary objective is to investigate this intervention's halo effect on parents'/guardians' 24-h movement behaviors and adherence to the MedDiet. Methods: The Archena Infancia Saludable trial will be a cluster RCT submitted to the Clinical Trials Registry. The protocol will be developed according to SPIRIT guidelines for RCTs and CONSORT statement extension for cluster RCTs. A total of 153 eligible parents/guardians with schoolchildren aged 6-13 years will be randomized into an intervention group or a control group. This project focuses on two fundamental pillars: 24-h movement behaviors and MedDiet. It will mainly focus on the relationship between parents/guardians and their children. Behavior change strategies for dietary and 24-h movement behaviors in schoolchildren will be based on healthy lifestyle education for parents/guardians through infographics, video recipes, brief video clips, and videos. Conclusions: Most of the current knowledge on 24-h movement behaviors and adherence to the MedDiet is based on cross-sectional or longitudinal cohort studies, warranting a need to design and conduct RCTs to obtain more robust evidence on the effect of a healthy lifestyle program to increase 24-h movement behaviors and to improve adherence to the MedDiet in schoolchildren
Tratamientos Psicológicos Empíricamente Apoyados Para la Infancia y Adolescencia: : Estado de la Cuestión
Background: The empirical
evidence accumulated on the effi cacy, effectiveness, and effi ciency of
psychotherapeutic treatments in children and adolescents calls for an
update. The main goal of this paper objective was to carry out a selective
review of empirically supported psychological treatments for a variety
of common psychological disorders and problems in childhood and
adolescence. Method: A review was carried out of the psychological
treatments for different psychological disorders and problems in socialemotional or behavioral adjustment in the child-adolescent population
according to the Spanish National Health System (Clinical Practice
Guidelines) levels of evidence and degrees of recommendation. Results:
The fi ndings suggest that psychological treatments have empirical
support for addressing a wide range of psychological problems in these
developmental stages. The degree of empirical support ranges from low
to high depending on the phenomenon analyzed. The review suggests
unequal progress in the different fi elds of intervention. Conclusions:
From this update, psychologists will be able to make informed decisions
when implementing those empirically supported treatments to address the
problems that occur in childhood and adolescence.Antecedentes: la evidencia empírica acumulada en los últimos años sobre
la efi cacia, efectividad y efi ciencia de los tratamientos psicológicos en la
infancia y adolescencia reclama una actualización. El principal objetivo
de este artículo es el de llevar a cabo una revisión de los tratamientos
psicológicos empíricamente apoyados para una diversidad de problemas
psicológicos habituales en la infancia y la adolescencia. Método:
se revisan los tratamientos psicológicos para diferentes trastornos
psicológicos y problemas en el ajuste socioemocional o conductual en
población infanto-juvenil en función de los niveles de evidencia y grados
de recomendación del Sistema Nacional de Salud de España (Guías de
Práctica Clínica). Resultados: los hallazgos sugieren que los tratamientos
psicológicos específi camente dirigidos a niños, niñas y adolescentes
disponen de apoyo empírico para el abordaje de un amplio elenco de
problemas psicológicos. Este grado de apoyo empírico oscila de bajo a
alto en función del problema analizado. La revisión muestra un avance
desigual en los diferentes campos de intervención. Conclusiones: a partir
de esta actualización, los profesionales de la psicología podrán tomar
decisiones informadas a la hora de implementar aquellas intervenciones
psicológicas con apoyo empírico para el abordaje de los problemas en la
infancia y la adolescenci
