强调家庭水疗会减少错过幼儿园的天数。在应用程序组中,可以注册更多的发烧天数。水疗,根据SebastianKneipp的hormesis原理,旨在减少下呼吸道感染。父母参与的动机是增加对子女的适用健康知识。目标:这项研究调查了根据塞巴斯蒂安·克奈普的hormesis原则,冷水水疗刺激对缺失幼儿园天数的影响,发烧天,3-6岁儿童的呼吸道感染。研究设计:非随机,控制,探索性的,混合方法临床研究。干预:水疗法干预治疗了6周以上的3-6岁的Kneipp手臂畸形儿童。对照组不进行干预。错过幼儿园的天数,发烧天,通过数字日记评估呼吸道感染。通过自行编制的结构化问卷,比较两组的社会人口统计学数据,记录参与研究的原因并进行定性评估.结果:对干预组的20名儿童参与者及其父母和对照组的18名儿童进行了评估。干预是由父母在家里进行的。统计分析显示两组之间没有显着差异,但仍显示出中等效应大小(表明研究能力不足)。这些效应大小表明,与对照组相比,申请组的儿童总错过幼儿园天数的比例可能较低(d=0.67)。因发烧而错过的天数(d=0.29),和下呼吸道感染(d=0.60)。在未来的研究中,因此,这些参数将成为有希望的评估因素。父母所说的参与兴趣的原因是为了改善健康状况,增加自己的健康知识,因为他们对替代疗法和支持研究的兴趣。结论:冷水水疗刺激,根据SebastianKneipp的hormesis原理,干预组确实减少了幼儿园的缺勤天数,下呼吸道感染的发生率较低。父母的参与兴趣表明了提高健康素养并与自己的孩子一起实施的愿望。由于样本量小,结果应谨慎解释。临床试验注册号:德国临床试验注册(DRKS):ID00017562。
Highlights Home-based hydrotherapy leads to fewer missed kindergarten-days in total. In the application group, more fever days could be registered. Hydrotherapy, according to the
hormesis principle by Sebastian Kneipp, aims to reduce infections of the lower respiratory tract. Parents participation motivated by increase in applicable health knowledge for their children. Objectives: This study investigates the effect of cold-water hydrotherapy stimulation according to the
hormesis principle by Sebastian Kneipp on the number of missing kindergarten-days, fever days, and respiratory tract infections in children aged 3-6 years.
Study design: A nonrandomized, controlled, explorative, mixed-methods clinical
study. Intervention: The hydrotherapeutic intervention treated children aged 3-6 years with Kneipp arm affusions over 6 weeks. The control group received no intervention. Number of missed kindergarten-days, fever days, and respiratory tract infections were assessed by means of a digital diary. Through a self-developed structured questionnaire, sociodemographic data of both groups were compared and reason for participation in the study was recorded and qualitatively evaluated. Results: Twenty children participants and their parents in the intervention group and 18 in the control group were evaluated. The intervention was conducted at home by the parents. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between the groups but still showed intermediate effect sizes (indicating an underpowered study). These effect sizes point to a potentially lower proportion of children in the application group versus the control group with missed kindergarten-days in total (d = 0.67), days missed due to fever (d = 0.29), and infections of the lower respiratory tract (d = 0.60). In a future study, these parameters will thus serve as promising factors for evaluation. Parent\'s stated reasons for participation interest were to improve health, increase their own health knowledge, and because of their interest in alternative therapies and to support research. Conclusions: Cold-water hydrotherapy stimulation, according to the
hormesis principle by Sebastian Kneipp, did reduce the number of days absent in kindergarten in total in the intervention group and lower respiratory tract infections occurred less frequently. Parent\' participation interest demonstrated a desire to increase health literacy and implement this with their own children. Due to the small sample size, the results should be interpreted cautiously. Clinical
