Effect of a 12-Week Hybrid Mode Exercise Protocol on Obesity Indices and Health-Related Quality of Life in Diabetic Dyslipidemia.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in 2019, had a global impact on social, economic, and public health, causing thousands of deaths. Children aged 0 to 14 years represented between 1.68% and 16.34% of cases between December 2019 and July 2023. Epidemiological data have indicated less severe health outcomes for this child population compared to the adult population; however, there are records of severe manifestations and the need for pediatric hospitalizations due to this cause. Hospitalization is a stressful event for the whole family, causing changes in the routine and well-being of its members. When children are hospitalized, the physical and emotional dependence inherent in this group brings additional demands to caregivers and family members, who report burnout related to altered routine, increased expenses, and sleep deprivation. Furthermore, feelings of distress, anxiety, loss of privacy, and worry have been identified in children and their caregivers in hospital settings. Pain and fear, in turn, are experiences reported only by children. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the hospitalization experience had particularities, such as the possibility of contamination of family members and the stigmatization of the disease, especially before the availability of vaccines and the recognition of the greater severity of cases that required hospitalization. These aspects have been identified as contributing to accentuating children’s vulnerability, generating worry and stress, and aggravating anxiety and depression in the entire population.
