Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The holistic health and wellness Kneipp concept, has a long tradition in Europe with demonstrated health benefits. Based on the five elements of the Kneipp concept, kindergartens in and around Germany are used to certify \"Kneipp Kindergartens\" that practice regular Kneipp applications and activities: cold water applications, exercise, nutrition, herbs and mind-body interventions. Little is known about the potential health benefits for children, however. This study protocol describes our study design and intervention of the Kita Kneipp Study to investigate the effect of the Kneipp concept on kindergarten children aged 2-6 years.
UNASSIGNED: The Kita Kneipp Study, registered with the German Clinical Trial Register (DRKS-ID: DRKS00029275), is a confirmatory, mixed-method, two-armed, waitlist, clinical, cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT). Kindergartens in Berlin, Germany that would like to implement the Kneipp concept into their facility will be recruited and randomized to the intervention or control group. Changes in the number of kindergarten sick days will be the primary outcome measure. Kindergarten attendance and reason for absence including illness will be collected on a weekly basis at two time points for 6 weeks from the parents and kindergarten directors: baseline and 1 year after baseline. Secondary outcomes will measure cold symptoms through the Common Cold Questionnaire (CCQ) and National Cancer Institute - Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Scales describing gastroenterological-based symptoms Kindergarten educator sick days will be aggregately reported for the same time period. Kneipp concept activities will be recorded on a weekly basis over the one-year intervention period. To understand the experience of Kneipp concept implementation and possible changes in the kindergarten, expert interviews will be conducted with intervention kindergarten educators and focused ethnographies will be planned to observe and analyze the intervention activities.
UNASSIGNED: This mixed method study design has potential to help identify if the Kneipp concept can be used for salutogenic purposes among young children and provide insights and experience of the implementation and practicing a holistic health and wellness concept in a kindergarten setting.

摘要：
■整体健康和健康Kneipp概念，在欧洲有着悠久的传统，具有良好的健康益处。基于克奈普概念的五个要素，德国及周边地区的幼儿园用于证明“Kneipp幼儿园”，该幼儿园练习常规的Kneipp应用和活动：冷水应用，锻炼,营养,草药和身心干预。对儿童的潜在健康益处知之甚少，however.这项研究协议描述了我们的研究设计和KitaKneipp研究的干预措施，以调查Kneipp概念对2-6岁幼儿园儿童的影响。
■KitaKneipp研究，在德国临床试验注册中心注册（DRKS-ID：DRKS00029275），是一个验证，混合方法，双臂,候补名单,临床,整群随机对照试验(RCT)。柏林的幼儿园，希望在其设施中实施Kneipp概念的德国将被招募并随机分配到干预或对照组。幼儿园病假天数的变化将是主要结果指标。幼儿园的出勤和缺勤的原因，包括疾病将在父母和幼儿园主任的两个时间点每周收集6周：基线和基线后1年。次要结果将通过普通感冒问卷（CCQ）和美国国家癌症研究所-描述基于胃肠病学的症状的不良事件通用术语标准（NCI-CTCAE）量表来衡量感冒症状。同期将汇总报告幼儿园教育者的病假。Kneipp概念活动将在一年的干预期内每周记录一次。了解Kneipp概念实施的经验和幼儿园可能发生的变化，将与干预幼儿园教育工作者进行专家访谈，并计划重点研究人种学来观察和分析干预活动。
这种混合方法研究设计有可能帮助确定Kneipp概念是否可用于幼儿的有益目的，并提供在幼儿园环境中实施和实践整体健康和保健概念的见解和经验。
