Objective
• At the end of this session, participants will be able to describe the relationship between early experience and social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes in children.
![Page 15: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Healthy infants have flexibility in their ability to grow in a range of environments and with a variety of caregiving styles.
• Infants who begin their lives in a stressful environment, separated from their mother may be less flexible in the type of care they require in order to overcome their early adversity. (Gribble, 2007)
![Page 16: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Program of research
• Purpose: To examine the effect of early experience on the development of stress neurobiology in high risk infants
• Population: Full-term infants hospitalized with life-threatening and/or chronic health condition
• Long term goal: To develop and test nursing interventions supportive of the infant’s neurobehavioral development
![Page 17: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Hospital Environment
• Health condition• Invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures• Multiple caregivers• Separation from mother
![Page 18: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Development of stress neurobiology
• Evolutionary biology: The infant adapts physiologically to the early (expected) environment (Shonkoff, Boyce, & McEwen, 2009)
• Maternal depression, poverty, maltreatment, deprivation– Changes in HPA activity (Field et al., 1988; Gunnar &
Chisholm, 1999)
– Elevated cardiac reactivity (Dawson & Ashman, 2000)
– Inflammation (Danese et al., 2007)
• Gene - environment interactions
![Page 19: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Outcomes of Early Adverse Experience
Behavioral health• Social attachment disturbances, difficulty with
emotional regulation (Wismer Fries et al., 2008)
• Disruptive behavior, anxiety, depression (Dawson & Ashman, 2000; Gunnar & Vasquez, 2006; reviewed in Pine & Cohen, 2002)
Physical and mental health• Higher prevalence of cardiovascular, respiratory, and
psychiatric disorders, cancer, alcoholism, drug abuse (reviewed in Shonkoff, Boyce, & McEwen, 2009)
Hospitalized children• Outcomes include PTSD (Rennick & Rashotte, 2009;
Schnyder et al., 2001)
![Page 20: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Role of Caregiving
• Physiologic stress responses mediated by attachment security
(Nachmias et al., 1996)
• Early disruptions in parent-child relationship produced increased cortisol levels which predicted increased behavioral and emotional problems
(Essex et al., 2002)
• Sensitivity of caregiving, rather than amount, is critical in modulating infant stress response
(Lewis & Ramsay, 1999, Nachmias et al., 1996)
![Page 21: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Autonomic Nervous System Function
• Regulating physiologic processes in order to:– maintain homeostasis – respond to challenges to homeostasis
• Serves as the foundation for ability to regulate behavior and emotion (self-regulation)
![Page 22: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ANS: Heart Rate Variability
• Minute changes in the intervals between beats• Reflects interaction between sympathetic and
parasympathetic divisions of the ANS• In general, higher levels of HRV reflect healthy,
responsive ANS function• Different processes cause changes in heart
rate; operate at different frequencies• HF HRV primarily reflects parasympathetic
function– Predominant in states of homeostasis– Reduced when sympathetic activity needed
![Page 23: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Autonomic Regulation of Feeding
• During infancy, the process of ingesting food is a challenge to homeostasis.
• During ingestion, parasympathetic stimulation reduced.• During digestion, parasympathetic stimulation increased.• Monitoring parasympathetic function provides a way of
assessing capacity for responding to stress.(Doussard-Roosevelt & Porges, 1999, Porges, 1996)
![Page 24: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Theoretical Framework
Development of self-regulation:
Allan Schore– Maternal interactions with her infant affect
development of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system of ANS.
– The patterns of stimulation of ANS determines subsequent social and emotional behavior.
![Page 25: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Infants with Complex Congenital Heart Defects
• 36,000 infants born each year with congenital heart defects
• Impaired ANS function
• Problems regulating social and emotional behavior: – Inattention– Impulsivity– Anxiety– Depression– Aggression
(Hovels-Gurich et al., 2007; Shillingford et al., 2008)
![Page 26: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Mothers of Infants with CHD
• Interactions between mothers and infants with CHD are qualitatively different than interactions between mothers and healthy infants.
(Gardner et al., 1996; Lobo, 1992)

Study 1: Conclusions
• Infants with TGA differ from healthy infants in their ability to regulate physiologic processes in the early weeks after surgery.
• Maternal sensitivity to her infant during caregiving may be supportive of developing ANS function, especially in the early weeks of life.
• Research is needed to identify ways of enhancing the regulatory effect of maternal behavior in infants with CHDs.

Skin-to-skin care
• Preterms – improvements in:– ANS function – Regulation of respiration– Regulation of sleep– Regulation of state– Organization of responses to visual and auditory stimuli
(Feldman & Eidelman, 2007; Ludington-Hoe, et al., 2004; 2006)
• Infants with CCHD– Improved cardiorespiratory status (Gazzolo et al., 2000)
• Mothers– More sensitive caregiving (Feldman et al., 2003)
![Page 41: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Aim 1: Research Questions
• Research question 1: Will participating mothers adhere to the SSC intervention and be retained through the completion of the study?
• Research question 2: Will participating mothers find the study procedures acceptable?
• Research question 3: Will infants with CCHD safely experience SSC by staying within physician-defined cardiorespiratory parameters during SSC?
![Page 42: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Objective
• At the end of this session, participants will be able to describe the rationale behind the pilot study.
![Page 52: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Background: The Problem
• Lower extremity amputation (LEA) in patients with peripheral arterial disease or diabetes typically is the result of ischemic foot ulcers
• Fifty to 80% of all lower extremity amputations (LEA) in the U.S. are attributed to diabetes resulting from lower extremity ulcers
• The incidence of LEA is greater in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) than the general population and patients with ESRD due to diabetes mellitus (DM) have 10 times greater incidence of LEA (i.e. 20-22%) than the general DM population.
![Page 53: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Background: The Problem
• Over 50% of patients with ESRD in the U.S. have DM
• There is a 63% mortality rate over 2 years following amputation in patients with ESRD
• The problem of diabetic foot ulcer and LEA is a major concern in patients with ESRD
![Page 54: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Background: Treatment
• Treatment of non-critical ischemia (claudication) should include preventive foot care, smoking cessation and exercise
• When these interventions fail to relieve symptoms, patients are usually offered revascularization and/or medications
• Most patients with ESRD 20 to DM are not candidates for surgery
• Most patients with ESRD are treated by nephrologists and may not receive preventive foot care and, in the U.S. most patients with ESRD are not provided counseling or opportunity for exercise
![Page 55: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Hypothesis
• Since cardiovascular exercise increases blood flow and oxygenation to the working muscles.
• It is, thus, reasonable to hypothesize that non-weight bearing exercise such as leg cycling may increase blood flow and thus improve oxygenation and healing of ischemic foot ulcers

Specific Aims
• 1) To determine if patients with ESRD secondary to diabetes with ischemic foot ulcers can complete a 12 week program of cycling during the hemodialysis treatment.
• 2) To determine if changes in ischemic foot ulcer size can be detected in diabetic ESRD patients over 12 weeks of cycling exercise.
• 3) To determine if changes in physiological measures of oxygenation and perfusion can be detected in diabetic ESRD patients with ischemic foot ulcers over 12 weeks of cycling exercise.

Outcome measures
• Wound Healing– Measurement of wound size using digital
photography: area of wound determined using sigma scan
• Measured every 2 weeks
![Page 63: Health Over Time: Longitudinal Design and Models in Nursing Research](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012919/568149e3550346895db70cb4/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Outcome measures
• Physiological Determinants of Wound Healing– Tissue Oxygenation
• TcPO2 (in horizontal position; 30o above horizontal and dependent in the seated position
– Tissue Perfusion• Laser Doppler will measure skin blood flow velocity in the
area of the wound
– Sensory Motor Function• Sensation detection using the Semmes-Weinstein
monofilament test
