    Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is considered as an important clinical outcome, especially in children with chronic illnesses. This predictive, descriptive study aimed at investigating the factors affecting health-related quality of life in children with epilepsy, including epilepsy severity, comorbidity, and family functioning. The sample, which consisted of 90 caregivers of children with epilepsy between the ages of 4 to 15 years, was recruited from the pediatric neurological out-patient clinic and in-patient wards at Prasat Neurological Institute, and Ramathibodi Hospital located in Bangkok, Thailand. Data were collected during June-August 2019. A set of questionnaires was used including demographic characteristics and medical record of illness data of children with epilepsy, the Chulalongkorn Family Inventory (CFI), and the Quality of Life in Childhood Epilepsy (QOLCE-16). Data analysis used descriptive statistics, Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that epilepsy severity, comorbidity, and family functioning could jointly predict the overall QOLCE, and accounted for 28.40% of the variance in the overall quality of life of children with epilepsy. Results of this study would help nurses and healthcare professionals provide adequate support and further design the intervention to improve the quality of life among children with epilepsy.

    Embarking upon the reformation of mainstream education for children with moderate cognitive disabilities in Thailand: A qualitative analysis from the key stakeholders

    The purpose of this case study was to explore educational policy and practices for educating students with moderate cognitive disabilities in segregated and inclusive schools in Thailand. This study utilized constructivist research methodology to examine the perspectives of parents, teachers, and school administrators who are involved in educating these children at two schools in Bangkok, Thailand. The schools in this research were selected because they represent two completely different models of a segregated school and a pilot inclusive school for students with moderate cognitive disabilities. Qualitative methods of data collection and a constant comparative method of data analysis were used. The researcher conducted open-ended interviews with teachers, administrators, and parents whose children attended each school. The interview questions were designed to provide insight into what the parents, teachers, and administrators perceived about the common practices used in the schools. In addition, field notes and observation notes from interviews and parent-teacher meetings were collected and analyzed regarding similarities and differences in methods of teaching. The researcher targeted a total of eight teachers and six administrators to participate in the interviews. Additionally, ten parents of children with moderate cognitive disabilities who were attending the schools were also interviewed. The data provided the researcher with a reasonably good understanding of the attitudes, feedback, and activities of stakeholders from two different educational perspectives for educating students with moderate cognitive disabilities. The Thai government has established national policy for inclusive education as a mainstream education model for Thailand. It was found that teachers and school administrators however hold very diverse beliefs and practices about methods of educating students with moderate cognitive disabilities. The findings of this study can provide valuable information for policy makers in Thailand and for leaders and researchers in special education. The findings of this research suggest needed adjustments to policies and related practices, suggestions for special education teacher preparation programs, and ideas for the design of an appropriate special education system that leads to better educational opportunities for students with moderate cognitive disabilities in Thailand.

    Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by high blood glucose levels and divided into two types, type 1diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM known as non-insulin dependent diabetes, which is due to insulin resistance and relative deficiency. World Health Organization (WHO) estimated the prevalence of diabetes for all age groups worldwide will be doubled in in 2030. Shockingly, the Bureau of Non Communicable Disease of Thailand found similar trend for Thai population. They claimed that it could be caused by changes of the style of food consumption specially popularity of the western like diets that contain high fat and sugar. Apart from the classical complication of diabetes such as cardiac failure, diabetic nephropathy, peripheral neuropathy, adverse effects associated with bone health become increasing apparently. Despite a number of studies in biological alteration of skeleton affected by chronic hyperglycemic diabetes, the association between DM and osteoporosis remained controversial. This review focused on the incidence of diabetes mellitus in Asian population as well as the metabolic abnormalities of DM potentially affecting bone metabolism, structures and mineral density.
