[PMID: 38762423 DOI: 10.1016/j.pedn.2024.05.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The study aims to investigate factors influencing parents' satisfaction with hospital care for children with craniosynostosis during hospitalization for surgery. DESIGN AND METHODS A mixed-methods study with a convergent, parallel design was used. Ninety-five parents responded to the Swedish Pyramid Questionnaire for Treatment, a 25-item questionnaire with six quality domains. In addition, 20 parents were interviewed about their experiences. Frequencies were calculated, and content analysis was used to analyze free-text comments and transcribed interviews. RESULTS Parents' assessment of the overall quality of care was high (mean 87%, range 10-100%). They were most satisfied in the domain staff attitudes and less satisfied with information routines and participation. Content analysis of the interviews gave two overarching themes: Factors that parents experienced as facilitating good quality of care and Factors that parents experienced as impeding good quality of care. CONCLUSIONS Parents were generally satisfied with the care provided, and interviews captured parents´ views on important factors. Staff attitudes affected parents' perception of quality of care. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS Clear information and dialogue as well as making parents feel they are part of their child's team can result in higher satisfaction, and allowing families to stay together in the hospital can ease the hospitalization experience. Using a theoretical model can help in suggesting relevant caring actions based on parents' reported care experiences.

Abstract
Children are most vulnerable to burn injuries, and their families are their most important source of support. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the information needs of such parents and support them to help children adapt to the new situation, recover to pre-accident conditions, and reintegrate into school and society. This study aimed to investigate the perceived information needs of family caregivers of children admitted to the burn wards of hospitals. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 family caregivers of children admitted to the burn ward of a hospital in Tabriz, Iran. Participants were selected through convenience sampling, and the required data were collected by using questionnaires on socio-demographic information, information needs, information resources, and information acquisition methods. The obtained data were analyzed statistically using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage) and inferential statistics (Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman correlation tests). Results indicated that the greatest informational need among family caregivers was related to the child's condition. The treatment team was identified as the most important source of information for them. It was found that information should be provided in a comprehensive and understandable manner, while maintaining honesty and human dignity. The study findings contribute to our understanding of the specific information needs of family caregivers in managing the medical care of children with burns. These findings can serve as a basis for interventions and support services aimed at meeting the needs of these families and improving the quality of care for children with burns.

Abstract
The American Burn Association (ABA) hosted a Burn Care Strategic Quality Summit (SQS) in an ongoing effort to advance the quality of burn care. The goals of the SQS were to discuss and describe characteristics of quality burn care, identify goals for advancing burn care, and develop a roadmap to guide future endeavors while integrating current ABA quality programs. Forty multidisciplinary members attended the two-day event. Prior to the event, they participated in a pre-meeting webinar, reviewed relevant literature, and contemplated statements regarding their vision for improving burn care. At the in-person, professionally facilitated Summit in Chicago, Illinois, in June 2022, participants discussed various elements of quality burn care and shared ideas on future initiatives to advance burn care through small and large group interactive activities. Key outcomes of the SQS included burn-related definitions of quality care, avenues for integration of current ABA quality programs, goals for advancing quality efforts in burn care, and work streams with tasks for a roadmap to guide future burn care quality-related endeavors. Work streams included roadmap development, data strategy, quality program integration, and partners and stakeholders. This paper summarizes the goals and outcomes of the SQS and describes the status of established ABA quality programs as a launching point for futurework.

Burns 2022; 48:355-364. [PMID: 34844814 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2021.06.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2020] [Revised: 06/14/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Paediatric burn injuries present physical and psychosocial effects for children and their parents, including disruption to family life. Some burns services in the UK enable parents to administer dressing changes at home to reduce the number of hospital visits. To date, there is no research on parents' experiences of administering dressing changes. The aim of this study was to describe parents' experiences of administering dressing changes in paediatric burns aftercare. METHODS Semi-structured research interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of parents recruited from a paediatric burns centre in the UK. The interview addressed the initial offer of at-home dressing changes by clinicians; parental decision-making in relation to dressing changes; training and support received; and the experience of administering dressing changes, including practical and emotional considerations. Thematic analysis of the data was informed by the framework approach, including associative analysis using demographic and clinical characteristics. RESULTS Seventeen participants were interviewed. Three themes of parents' experiences of administering dressing changes were identified including (1) Parental Identity concerning the newly undertaken responsibility and the impact on the parental role; (2) Challenges, physical or emotional, confronted or lessened by administering dressing changes; and (3) Reassurance provided by healthcare professionals and others to support parents to adopt and maintain parent-administered dressing changes. CONCLUSION The qualitative data reported here indicates that parents want to be involved in their child's care by administering dressing changes at home, provided they receive sufficient reassurance that they are able to manage the severity of their child's burn. Parents' concerns about the effectiveness of their dressing changes lacks empirical basis, and this study provides preliminary data to support the development and evaluation of best practice guidance for parent-administered dressing changes in paediatric burns aftercare.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessment of parental satisfaction with child nursing is the key issue in evaluation of the care quality, enabling the adjustment of the services provided to the needs and expectations of recipients, and thus ensuring safety and achieving better long-term health effects. AIM Assessment of parental satisfaction with child nursing in paediatric wards including its determinants. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study covered 1030 parents of children hospitalised in paediatric and surgical wards of seven hospitals of different levels of health security in Poland. The Polish adaptation of the Empathic standardised questionnaire for assessment of the level of parents' satisfaction with nursing care, developed by Latour et al. and the self-constructed summary of socio-demographic data were applied in the study. RESULTS More than 90% of respondents expressed high level of satisfaction with nurses' Availability, the lowest, but still high score of respondents' satisfaction was observed for Parental Participation. The highest satisfaction was observed among the parents of children at the preschool, early school and puberty stage, admitted to the hospital on the elective basis, referred for diagnostic assessment and with the length of hospital stay less than 7 and longer than 28 days. Achieving preschool age was the strongest factor which increased assessment of satisfaction in most domains. CONCLUSIONS There is a need for optimising nursing care especially in the area of parental participation. The nursing care' quality improvement plan in paediatric departments should focus particularly on early childhood patients and their parents who are the most critical in satisfaction' assessment.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that burn patients were satisfied with the received care. Satisfaction was not strongly associated to burns or to psycho-social characteristics, suggesting that other factors, related to burn care specific aspects, may be important. The aim of this study was to analyze the independent effect of provided workload on the general satisfaction in adult patients at a Swedish national Burn Centre. The study population (n = 122) included patients ≥18 years, treated at the Linköping Burn Centre between 2016 and 2017. Experienced burn care was evaluated with the PS-RESKA survey (score range: 0–4), and provided workload was scored with the Burn Scoring System (BSC). Groups were compared with χ 2 test, MW test, or Fisher´s exact test. Multivariable logistic regression analyzed the independent effect of BSC on the outcome High Satisfaction (= score ≥3 to the survey-question: “How would you score your global experience at the Burn Centre?”). In-patients (n = 60) had more often larger burns and required more workload than out-patients (median[IQR]: TBSA% = 6.3 [3–12.3] % vs. 0.7 [0.3–2] %, p < .001; BSC = 65 [25.5–135.5] vs. 6 [4–9], p < .001). Both groups were highly satisfied with the experienced care (mean score [SD] = 3.68 [0.57] vs. 3.41 [0.77], p = .03). Neither characteristics of the patients (age, sex), nor TBSA% nor provided workload (BSC) were independently associated with High Satisfaction. Regardless of burn severity, demographics and provided workload, adult patients with burns were highly satisfied with the experienced burn care. This finding suggested that the reason of the satisfaction was multifactorial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mixed partial thickness burns are the most common depth of burn injury managed at a large Australian paediatric hospital specialty burns unit. Prolonged time until re-epithelialisation is associated with increased burn depth and scar formation. Whilst current wound management approaches have benefits such as anti-microbial cover, these are not without inherent limitations including multiple dressing changes. The Biobrane® RECELL® Autologous skin Cell suspension and Silver dressings (BRACS) trial aims to identify the most effective wound management approach for mixed partial thickness injuries in children. METHODS All children presenting with an acute burn injury to the study site will be screened for eligibility. This is a single-centre, three-arm, parallel group, randomised trial. Children younger than 16 years, with burns ≥ 5% total body surface area involving any anatomical location, up to 48 h after the burn injury, and of a superficial partial to mid-dermal depth, will be included. A sample size of 84 participants will be randomised to standard silver dressing or a Regenerative Epithelial Suspension (RES™) with Biobrane® or Biobrane® alone. The first dressing will be applied under general anaesthesia and subsequent dressings will be changed every 3 to 5 days until the wound is ≥ 95% re-epithelialised, with re-epithelialisation time the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes of acute pain, acute itch, scar severity, health-related quality of life, treatment satisfaction, dressing application ease and healthcare resource use will be assessed at each dressing change and 3, 6 and 12 months post-burn injury. DISCUSSION The findings of this study can potentially change the wound management approach for superficial partial to mid-dermal burns in children locally and worldwide. TRIAL REGISTRATION The Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12618000245291) approved prospective registration on 15 February 2018. Registration details can be viewed at https://www.anzctr.org.au/Trial/Registration/TrialReview.aspx?id=374272&isReview=true.
