[PMID: 37533988 PMCID: PMC10392080 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e18481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Caregivers of COVID-19 patients, including mothers with an infected child, are affected by adverse physical and psychological effects. Since mothers perform an important role in caring for a child with Covid-19, explaining their challenges and experiences positively affects the health conditions of children and society, in general. Aim This study aimed to explain mothers' experiences with children diagnosed with COVID-19, who were referred to Bandar Abbas Children's Hospital. Method The present study was qualitative and used the Van-Manen method. The statistical population included 13 mothers with children hospitalized for coronary heart disease and COVID-19, who were selected by purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were implemented to collect data until saturation. Data analysis was performed using MAXQDA 10 software. Lincoln and Guba's criteria were used to evaluate the data's accuracy and strength. Results The mean age of mothers participating in the study was 37.92 ± 4.87. On the other hand, the mean age of children was 5.15 ± 2.07 years. Three main themes and 13 sub-themes were extracted from the data analysis. The main themes were "Inability to Caring", "Mental and Physical drain" and "Conflict of Roles and Responsibilities". In this study, when a child develops COVID-19 disease, the mother experiences a series of negative emotions, which lead to feelings of helplessness and inability to care for the child. Conclusion Mental and physical manifestations strains were the most important issues that the mothers experienced. The majority of the participants need psychological support to cope with the disease. Therefore, it is recommended to make a proper design to psychologically and socially support these mothers, while alleviating the physical manifestations of their children's disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the association between nursing care left undone in pediatrics and factors related to nursing staff characteristics and work environment. METHODS The data of the present study were extracted from our RN4CAST@IT-Ped database, a cross-sectional observational study, which included 13 hospitals belonging to the Italian Association of Paediatric Hospitals. Through convenience sampling, nurses and pediatric nurses providing direct care in routine pediatric wards were enrolled in the study. Data aggregated by clinical care area were analyzed, through descriptive and inferential statistics methods using IBM SPSS 22.0 software. RESULTS We collected data from 399 pediatric nurses working in surgical wards, 1208 in medical wards, and 631 in critical care units. Some of the investigated factors have shown an association with the risk of omitting essential nursing activities, like health care judged of poor quality, patient safety judged as poor, and nurses' intention-to-leave the job. For every nursing activity under investigation, we found some significant statistical associations. CONCLUSIONS Our results are consistent with the international literature showing that nurses miss some activities more frequently. Understanding the associations underpinning care left undone could be a starting point for the implementation of patient-centered care and the improvement of the quality and safety of care in pediatric settings, as well as the work environment.

Paediatric Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT): An e-survey of the experiences of parents and clinicians. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0249514.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little evidence exists about parental satisfaction and their influence on referral to paediatric Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT). AIM This study aimed to examine the experiences of parents, children and clinicians of OPAT at a large tertiary children's hospital. METHOD A prospective e-survey, using closed and open questions, of parents (n = 33) of 33 children who had received OPAT (3 children completed a survey), and clinicians (n = 31) involved in OPAT at a tertiary hospital. Data were collected September 2016 to July 2018. RESULTS Data were analysed using simple descriptive statistics. The results show that OPAT offered benefits (less stress, re-establishment of family life) compared to hospital-based treatment for parents and children, although some were anxious. Clinicians' referral judgements were based on child, home, and clinical factors. Some clinicians found the process of referral complex. CONCLUSION Most parents and children were satisfied with the OPAT service and preferred the option of home-based treatment as it promoted the child's comfort and recovery and supported family routines.

Impact of social media interventions and tools among informal caregivers of critically ill patients after patient admission to the intensive care unit: A scoping review. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0238803. [PMID: 32915848 PMCID: PMC7485758 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0238803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2020] [Accepted: 08/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The use of social media in healthcare continues to evolve. The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize existing research on the impact of social media interventions and tools among informal caregivers of critically ill patients after patient admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods This review followed established scoping review methods, including an extensive a priori-defined search strategy implemented in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and the Cochrane CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials databases to July 10, 2020. Primary research studies reporting on the use of social media by informal caregivers for critically ill patients were included. Results We identified 400 unique citations and thirty-one studies met the inclusion criteria. Nine were interventional trials–four randomized controlled trials (RCTs)–and a majority (n = 14) were conducted (i.e., data collected) between 2013 to 2015. Communication platforms (e.g., Text Messaging, Web Camera) were the most commonly used social media tool (n = 17), followed by social networking sites (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) (n = 6), and content communities (e.g., YouTube, SlideShare) (n = 5). Nine studies’ primary objective was caregiver satisfaction, followed by self-care (n = 6), and health literacy (n = 5). Nearly every study reported an outcome on usage feasibility (e.g., user attitudes, preferences, demographics) (n = 30), and twenty-three studies reported an outcome related to patient and caregiver satisfaction. Among the studies that assessed statistical significance (n = 18), 12 reported statistically significant positive effects of social media use. Overall, 16 of the 31 studies reported positive conclusions (e.g., increased knowledge, satisfaction, involvement) regarding the use of social media among informal caregivers for critically ill patients. Conclusions Social media has potential benefits for caregivers of the critically ill. More robust and clinically relevant studies are required to identify effective social media strategies used among caregivers for the critically ill.

Being 'at-home' on outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT): a qualitative study of parents' experiences of paediatric OPAT. Arch Dis Child 2020; 105:276-281. [PMID: 31558443 PMCID: PMC7041500 DOI: 10.1136/archdischild-2019-317629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2019] [Revised: 08/08/2019] [Accepted: 09/05/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To better understand the factors that facilitate and hinder a positive experience of paediatric outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT). DESIGN Qualitative study using semistructured interviews. SETTING A dedicated paediatric consultant-led hospital-based, outreach OPAT service in England. PARTICIPANTS Participants were primarily parents of children who had received OPAT; one child participated. METHODS Children and parents of children who received OPAT and who had participated in the survey phase of the larger study were invited to be interviewed. RESULTS 12 parents (10 mothers and 2 fathers) of 10 children participated; one child (aged 15 years). Data analysis resulted in one meta-theme, 'At-homeness' with OPAT, this reflected the overall sense of home being a place in which the children and their parents could be where they wanted to be. Four key themes were identified that reflect the ways in which parents and children experienced being at-home on OPAT: 'Comfort, security, freedom, and control'; 'Faith, trust and confidence'; 'Explanations and communication' and 'Concerns, restrictions and inconveniences'. CONCLUSIONS Despite feeling anxious at times, parents reported that they and their children generally had a positive experience of OPAT; being at-home brought many benefits compared with in-patient care. Recommendations arising from the study include a 'whole-system' approach to discharge home that includes support related to return to school/nursery, reduction in disruptions to home-based routines, more clarity on choice and preparation for managing potential anxiety, better consideration of dose timing and enhanced preparation and information.
