AUTHOR(S)
Siriporn Vetcho; Marie Cooke; Helen Petsky (et al.)

Published: March 2022 Journal: Nursing in Critical Care

Family-centred care (FCC) is an approach to promote family and health care provider partnership. This has been incorporated into neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) worldwide. However, FCC in low resource health settings, such as Thailand, is challenging and further impacted by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This paper aims to evaluate FCC innovations to improve respect, collaboration and support in a Thai NICU.

Research Report

Addressing gender barriers to entrepreneurship and leadership among girls and young women in South-East Asia

Institution: *UNICEF, UNDP, Youth Co:Lab
Published: April 2021

This report analyses how girls’ and young women’s capacity and agency for entrepreneurship and leadership are shaped by their household, community, and wider ecosystem as they move from adolescence into adulthood. The research aims to strengthen the evidence-base to support the advancement of gender equality and tackle gender-related barriers that adolescent girls and young women face in Asia-Pacific, focusing on Indonesia, Thailand and Laos. Taking a human-centered approach, the report aims to understand how girls’ and young women’s opportunities, capacity and agency for empowerment through entrepreneurial skill development is shaped as they move from adolescents to adulthood.

Research Report

A rapid assessment of children left behind during the COVID-19 pandemic situation

Institution: *UNICEF, Mahidol University. Institute of Population and Social Research,
Published: October 2020

The report presents the findings from a rapid survey conducted in Thailand in order to understand the challenges that children left behind and their families are facing as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic. The assessment consisted of phone surveys to households with children left behind based on the previously sampled population from Khonkaen and Pitsanulok provinces where the rate of children left behind are particularly high. The survey results show the immediate and large-scale socio-economic impact of COVID-19 that affected nearly all children, including children left behind.

School closure, COVID-19 and lunch programme: Unprecedented undernutrition crisis in low-middle income countries

AUTHOR(S)
Korapat Mayurasakorn; Bonggochpass Pinsawas; Pichanun Mongkolsucharitkul (et al.)

Published: July 2020 Journal: Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health

Based on the current data indicating that children are less likely to be main vectors of SAR‐CoV‐2, This article argues that the benefits of school reopening and continuing education far outweigh the risks.

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has affected nearly 70% of children and teenagers around the world due to school closure policies.

School closure is implemented widely in order to prevent viral transmission and its impact on the broader community, based on preliminary rec-

ommendations and evidence from inuenza. However, there is debate with regard to the effectiveness of school closures. Growing evidence sug-

gests that a child’s SARS-CoV-2 infection is often mild or asymptomatic and that children may not be major SARS-CoV-2 transmitters; thus, it is

questionable if school closures prevent transmission signicantly. This question is important as a majority of children in low- and middle-income

countries depend on free school meals; unexpected long-term school closure may adversely impact nutrition and educational outcomes. Food

insecurity is expected to be higher during the pandemic. In this viewpoint, we argue for a more thorough exploration of potential adverse

impacts of school closures in low- and middle-income countries and recommend actions to ensure that the health and learning needs of vulnera-

ble populations are met in this time of crisis.
