SCL-90-R symptom patterns for adolescent psychiatric inpatients.

We collected Symptom Check List-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) symptom pattern and severity data from a sample of 486 adolescent psychiatric inpatients. Preliminary comparison of these data with previously published data for adolescent nonpatients suggested no meaningful differences in overall symptom severity, although the data suggested higher Positive Symptom Distress Index (PSDI) scores for inpatients, less severe somatization and psychoticism symptoms for inpatient males compared to nonpatient males, and more severe depressive symptoms for inpatient females compared to nonpatient females. Future studies should be directed toward further analyses of such data and the development of representative and generalizable adolescent inpatient norms for the SCL-90-R.

Supracondylar fractures in children.

Musculoskeletal trauma accounts for approximately 15% of all childhood injuries (Devito, 1996). Fractures are a common injury sustained with trauma. Due to anatomic, biomechanical, and physiologic differences between adult and pediatric bones, patterns of fractures change as a child's age increases. The treatment of a pediatric fracture may also differ from that of an adult due to these differences. This article discusses one common type of pediatric fracture, the supracondylar fracture. The etiology, incidence, classification system, and treatment of this fracture will be explained. In addition, potential complications and nursing management of a supracondylar fracture are included.

Implementing a bicycle safety workshop.

Each year almost 400,000 children ages 14 and younger are treated in emergency rooms for bicycle-related injuries. An additional 500,000 young riders are treated in other settings (private pediatrician's office, urgent care centers) (American Academy of Pediatrics, 1991). An awareness has been raised this past decade toward programs that target injury prevention and promote safety and health in children. The implementation of bicycle safety workshops and "bicycle rodeos" are just one of many programs that educate young children on the techniques of safe, yet fun, bicycling.
