  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Mediation in the Family Room: How Parents Use Core Family Values to Make Choices About Television With American Tweens Author: Anderson Wright, Kristen Year: 2013 Television mediation with children is a topic that has been important for parents, educators and scholars since television was introduced into the home. A majority of American families deal with this issue regularly. A significant number of studies in communications, psychology, education and medicine have researched how children and their families are affected. Patterns have been identified by researchers that quantify mediation into specific structures. Through focus groups with parents of tweens, this research investigates how family core values influence mediation in the home by discussing the way parents make choices about television in their daily lives and comparing those results to structures used by scholars. Results show that choices families make about television do not neatly fit into limited categories and are most influenced by a variety of factors including lifestyle choices, every day occurrences, and unavoidable circumstances. Values have a secondary influence.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Associations Between Family Nutrition and Physical Activity, Food Security, and Childhood Obesity in Rural Oregon Author: Jackson, Jennifer A. Childhood obesity and food insecurity are public health issues that often coexist, and both conditions are more prevalent among rural compared to non-rural populations. Social ecological prevention efforts are recommended, yet limited research has examined how rural family-home environments may influence obesity-preventing and -promoting behaviors. The purpose of this dissertation was to examine whether and how family-home environmental and behavioral factors are associated with body mass index (BMI) and food security in rural children. To accomplish the aims of this project, a mixed methods study was conducted. For the quantitative phase of this study, relationships between family nutrition and physical activity (FNPA), food security, and children’s BMI and dietary behaviors were examined. Results indicated no significant associations between FNPA and BMI or between FNPA and food security. More favorable FNPA factors were associated with higher consumption of fruits, vegetables, and dairy, and with lower intake of added sugar. The qualitative phase of this research involved nine semi-structured focus group interviews, conducted across six rural communities, to explore parent/caregiver perceptions of factors that influence behaviors related to nutrition and physical activity in the home environment. Four major themes that influence family nutrition- and activity-related behaviors were identified, including family eating habits, food procurement, family physical activity, and screen time. Eight themes emerged as environmental supports and/or barriers to family nutrition and physical activity, including seasonal variation, features of home, distance from resources, foods and beverages encouraged and discouraged, screen time limits, financial constraints, outdoor safety, and schedule constraints. This study provides evidence that certain factors in the family-home are associated with children’s dietary behaviors, and that opportunities for rural children to eat healthfully and be physically active at home are influenced by factors internal and external to the family-home. Understanding how family-home and other environmental factors influence children’s eating and activity behaviors and future health outcomes, as well as how public health efforts may support families in navigating challenges specific to rural areas, is an important area of research that warrants further exploration.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Environmental and psychological factors surrounding children of cancer patients : an exploratory study Author: Buell, Joan Strong Year: 1981 This exploratory study examines five families in which one parent was ill with cancer and in which there was a 5-to 8-year-old child. To understand the adaptation to the illness (and, in the case of three families, to the death of the ill parent) of the focus child was the principal aim of the study. The circumstances existing around the time of the illness and death of the parent were seen as particularly important in determining how the child viewed these events. Areas such as substitute caregivers, family routines, information given to the child, and the child's participation in, apparent understanding of and preparation for occurrences were some of the areas studied.
