Background: Healthcare providers' perceptions of palliative care in children with cancer influence care management, specifically that of its early integration. Thus, it is crucial to understand the perspectives of the providers on early integration of palliative care so that measures to create informed care decisions are based on reconciling their views. Aims: To explore the perceptions of paediatric oncology providers at the Children's Cancer Institute (CCI) in Lebanon regarding the integration of early paediatric palliative care (PPC) in the management of children with cancer. Methods: A qualitative descriptive research design with focus groups was used in a leading paediatric oncology setting. Findings: The thematic analysis yielded four themes: (1) healthcare providers understood palliative care as pain relief and psychological support mainly at the end of life; (2) the timing of integrating PPC is linked to end of life, advanced disease or treatment failure; (3) interdisciplinary collaboration is important for addressing patients' and families' needs effectively; and (4) communication with the child and family is one of the most difficult aspects of integrating PPC. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the perceptions of healthcare providers about early palliative care in paediatric oncology in Lebanon. It also highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and effective communication with the child and family for better management of PPC.

Background: Effective communication is a cornerstone of quality paediatric palliative care. Families report struggling, however, to know what to discuss, with whom, and when. Although question prompt lists exist for adult palliative care, they do not suit the unique circumstances of paediatric palliative care. Aim: To develop a prompt list suitable for paediatric palliative care. Design: Underpinned by Delphi methodology, a six-phase procedure was adopted: (1) drafting items based on the findings of a literature review, (2) condensing the list of items based on group discussion, (3) refining items based on a survey of expert healthcare professionals, (4) additional refining of items based on another survey of professionals, (5) further refining of items based on cognitive interviews with family members, and (6) final review by healthcare professional and family member groups. Participants: Three participant groups were involved during various phases: (1) members of an Australasian paediatric palliative care national reference group, (2) healthcare professionals associated with a local paediatric palliative care service, and (3) family members who were users of the same local service. Results: Through multi-phase consultation across participant groups, the draft question prompt list was refined progressively to 28 items, split across two booklets to allow end-of-life items to be provided separately, and reconceptualised as a discussion prompt list rather than a question prompt list. Conclusion: By involving representatives of major stakeholder groups, this study has facilitated the design of a prompt list suited to the circumstances of paediatric palliative care. Future research should trial the effectiveness of this resource.

IntroductionPublic health crises such as pandemics can cause serious disruptions to the utilisation and provision of healthcare services with negative effects on morbidity and mortality. Despite the important role of paediatric primary care in maintaining high-quality healthcare services during crises, evidence about service utilisation and provision remains limited especially in Germany. This study, therefore, explores the utilisation and provision of paediatric primary care services during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and their barriers and facilitators.Methods and analysisThe study uses a convergent mixed-methods design and comprises online surveys to parents, adolescents and primary care paediatricians (PCPs) and semistructured interviews with parents and PCPs. We recruit parents and adolescents from paediatric primary care practices and PCPs via email using mailing lists of the German Professional Association of Paediatricians and the German Society of Ambulatory Primary Care Paediatrics. The parent and adolescent surveys assess, inter alia, the utilisation of paediatric primary care services and its correlates, aspects of parental and child health as well as socioeconomic characteristics. The PCP survey investigates the provision of paediatric primary care services and its correlates, aspects of PCP health as well as sociodemographic and practice characteristics. The semistructured interviews with parents and PCPs explore several aspects of the online surveys in more detail. We use descriptive statistics and generalised linear mixed models to assess service utilisation and provision and specific correlates covered in the online surveys and apply qualitative content analysis to explore barriers and facilitators of service utilisation and provision more broadly in the semistructured interviews. We will integrate findings from the quantitative and qualitative analyses at the interpretation stage.Ethics and disseminationThe study was approved by the Medical Ethics Review Board of the Medical Faculty Mannheim at Heidelberg University (2020–650N). Study results will be published in journals with external peer-review.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Although international guidelines recommend discussions about goals of care and treatment options for children with severe and life-limiting conditions, there are still few structured models of paediatric advance care planning. Aim: The study aimed at identifying key components of paediatric advance care planning through direct discussions with all involved parties. Design: The study had a qualitative design with a participatory approach. Participants constituted an advisory board and took part in two transdisciplinary workshops. Data were collected in discussion and dialogue groups and analysed using content analysis. Setting/participants: We included bereaved parents, health care providers and stakeholders of care networks. Results: Key elements were discussions, documentation, implementation, timing and participation of children and adolescents. Parents engage in discussions with facilitators and persons of trust to reach a decision. Documentation constitutes the focus of professionals, who endorse brief recommendations for procedures in case of emergencies, supplemented by larger advance directives. Implementation hindrances include emotional barriers of stakeholders, disagreements between parents and professionals and difficulties with emergency services. Discussion timing should take into account parental readiness. The intervention should be repeated at regular intervals, considering emerging needs and increasing awareness of families over time. Involving children and adolescents in advance care planning remains a challenge. Conclusion: A paediatric advance care planning intervention should take into account potential pitfalls and barriers including issues related to timing, potential conflicts between parents and professionals, ambiguity towards written advance directives, the role of non-medical carers for paediatric advance care planning implementation, the need to involve the child and the necessity of an iterative process.

Abstract Introduction Paediatric non-commercial interventional clinical trials (NICTs) are crucial for healthcare provision. In spite of the fact that current regulations and initiatives try to enhance the quantity and quality of paediatric NICTs, there are still shortcomings that need to be addressed in order to accelerate the conduct of relevant clinical trials in children. To improve the current landscape of paediatric clinical research, it is necessary to identify and analyse the main trends and shortcomings, along with their impact on national performance in paediatric NICTs and this is the aim of this work. Method A retrospective systematic search of paediatric NICTs was performed on four international clinical trials registries. Entries were filtered by date from 01/01/2004 to 31/12/2017. Each identified paediatric NICT was screened and analysed for sponsors, funders, type of intervention, therapeutic area, design characteristics and associated publications. Results The search identified 439 unique NICTs. When stratifying the trials by enrolment ages, 86 trials were found involving the paediatric population. Most trials investigated the use of medicinal products and were focused on cancer or cardiovascular diseases. The most common sources of the funding were non-profit organizations. Furthermore, from the total number of completed trials, only half of them already published their results. Conclusion The main shortcomings—specifically, ethical, methodological and, in particular, economic obstacles were identified. There is a continual need for greater support and collaboration between all major stakeholders including health policymakers, grant agencies, research institutions, pharmaceutical industries and healthcare providers at the national and international level.

Full textAbstract:
As the dominant research paradigm within the construction of contemporary healthcare facilities, evidence-based design (EBD) will increasingly impact our expectations of what hospital architecture should be. Research methods within EBD focus on prototyping incremental advances and evaluating what has already been built. Yet medical care is a rapidly evolving system; changes to technology, workforce composition, patient demographics and funding models can create rapid and unpredictable changes to medical practice and modes of care. This dynamism has the potential to curtail or negate the usefulness of current best practice approaches. To imagine new directions for the role of the hospital in society, or innovative ways in which the built environment might support well-being, requires a model that can project beyond existing constraints. Speculative design employs a design-based research methodology to imagine alternative futures and uses the artefacts created through this process to enable broader critical reflection on existing practices. This paper examines the contribution of speculative design within the context of the paediatric hospital as a means of facilitating critical reflection regarding the design of new healthcare facilities. While EBD is largely limited by what has already been built, speculative design offers a complementary research method to meet this limitation.

IntroductionDemand from local NHS stakeholders identified a gap for a taught education course tailored to the niche requirements of paediatric healthcare staff wishing to become non-medical prescribers. This was seen as an excellent opportunity to review and develop the pharmacology module within the Non-medical Prescribing (NMP) course by giving it a paediatric focus.AimTo develop a pharmacology module with an emphasis on paediatric prescribing that meets the professional requirements of the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC).MethodKnowledge of curriculum design and structure was utilised in developing the paediatric pharmacology module. This ensured that the underpinning theory of prescribing medicines safely for children was delivered at the right academic level. The content, delivery and learning outcomes were dictated by the Prescribing Competency Framework for All Prescribers (RPS, 2016).1 But the cognitive teaching and learning methods arose from the rigid expectation to meet the regulatory requirements of each professional body. To ensure consistency across the whole NMP programme, the structure of the pharmacology module assessments (both formative and summative) was kept the same. The summative (final) assessments consisted of a multiple choice question (MCQ) paper requiring the students to answer a total of twenty MCQs, with the pass mark set by the regulatory bodies at 80%; a drug calculations paper consisting of five questions with a 100% pass mark; and a 5 minute information giving OSCE (objective structured clinical examination). The whole module was looked at a fresh from a paediatric perspective. The content and timetable were compiled and reviewed jointly by a paediatric pharmacist and a paediatric nurse. Both were experienced academics already teaching on the NMP course. While some of the lectures were delivered by in-house university academic staff, the majority of the sessions were delivered by specialist paediatric guest lecturers who were actively working in their respective clinical fields. This ensured that the knowledge imparted to students was practical, current and relevant to prescribing for children.ResultsAll students had to be practising in paediatrics for a minimum period of two years and have evidence of studying at level 6 (graduate level) or equivalent. The target audience consisted of allied healthcare professionals specialising in paediatrics, including nurses, pharmacists, optometrists, physiotherapists, podiatrists, dieticians and therapeutic radiographers. However, the first cohort of 51 students comprised entirely of paediatric nurses. The majority of students passed each assessment first time. All students passed the 5-minute information giving OSCE, but 25% of the students had to re-sit the pharmacology MCQ paper and 17% had to re-sit the drug calculations paper. Following the resits the remaining students all passed except for one student who failed the course.ConclusionOverall, the course was well received, with positive feedback from most students and stakeholders. Valuable suggestions were also received for further improvements to the course and pharmacology module. These are currently being implemented with intake of students.ReferenceRoyal Pharmaceutical Society ( 2016) A competency framework for all prescribers.

Background A new paediatric hospital-in-the-home nursing service required evaluation. Aims To determine whether the education and training provided for nursing staff employed in the service was effective. Methods This paper presents the way in which a training evaluation model supported the design and evaluation of a training programme for registered nurses working in an out-of-hospital, home-based nursing service for paediatric patients. Results The Kirkpatrick model provides a framework for evaluating the effectiveness of workforce training for any industry including healthcare (Kirkpatrick, 2009). Conclusions That the Kirkpatrick model is an appropriate framework to evaluate a nursing training programme, but it is imperative to evaluate all levels of the model to be able to ascertain the success of the training and the impact on clinical practice.

This study was conducted to increase our understanding of children and young people’s experience of a hospital environment and to identify the salient attributes of the physical environment in their experience. There were three specific aims: to describe children and young people’s experience of a hospital environment and identify what constitutes a supportive paediatric environment; to examine the role of the physical environment in patients’ feeling of well-being; and to highlight the capacity of participatory research with children and young people to inform evidence-based paediatric design. At this stage, there has been very little healthcare design research carried out with populations of children and young people. Well-being research with children and young people in paediatric environments that identifies the potential supportive attributes in this environment is also very limited. Historically research on children’s health and well-being has been dominated by a focus on the prevalence of disorders, problems and disabilities. More recently, in response to the change to health promotion, positive attributes have been included in well-being and satisfaction measures. At this stage, there are still many fewer positive measures. Within the body of literature that exists in healthcare, healthcare design research, and well-being research, there are only a small number of participatory studies that focus on children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation, and an even smaller number that include children and young people’s experience of hospital environments. The picture that is created by the research that exists is patchy. There is a need for a more holistic understanding of children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation and of hospital environments from their own perspectives. Based on these gaps in current knowledge, two research questions were developed. The first was concerned with describing children and young people’s experience of the sociophysical environment of a paediatric hospital. The second question was concerned with understanding the role of the physical environment in children and young people’s feeling of well-being in a hospital environment. In addressing these questions, the intention was to identify attributes within the hospital setting which collectively comprise a supportive environment for children and young people and which contribute to children and young people’s feeling of well-being in a paediatric setting. The current study was conducted as an exploratory qualitative case study and carried out at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, in Sydney, Australia. Using participatory research techniques, the sequence of the study included two pilot studies and the main study. The focus was on understanding the experiences of longer-term patients of a paediatric hospital environment. In the main study 25 children and young people, aged between 9-18 years, who had been in hospital for at least a week completed semi-structured interviews in which they talked about their response to the environment of the hospital and their experience of hospitalisation. Data analysis was completed using a combination of concept mapping and thematic analysis techniques. Preliminary findings were used as the basis of a further member-checking task carried out with a further six children and young people before conclusions were reached. The findings reveal that children and young people’s experience of a paediatric setting involves a number of major areas of influence including their personal situation, their social experience, their interaction with the physical environment, opportunities and characteristics of the organisation, and the effect of time. The findings also reveal that children’s feeling of well-being within this experience is linked to their ability to feel comfortable in the environment, to maintain a positive state of mind, and to remain positively engaged with the experience and the environment. This research reveals a dynamic relationship between children and young people and a paediatric environment that children and young people actively manage and shape. It reveals some of the key considerations in children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation. It also reveals why these considerations are important and what role they play in patients’ experience and feeling of well-being. These findings provide the basis for further research and they have implications for future design and research practice in paediatric healthcare settings.

Full textAbstract:
Paediatric critical care retrieval provides some of the most challenging clinical scenarios for the retrieval physician. Children have a relatively low incidence of critical illness in comparison to adults and they constitute a minority of the population (around 20% or less in high-income countries). Approximately 50% of critically ill children are under 2 years of age, with a more even age-distribution from pre-school through to school-age and teenage years. Consequently, paediatric intensive care and paediatric intensive care retrieval are low volume, highly specialized areas of practice in healthcare systems that cater predominantly for adults. In comparison to neonatal retrieval, the case load in paediatric intensive care transport is small; however, there is a much wider spectrum of pathology. Thus, paediatric intensive care transport differs from both adult and neonatal retrieval. It requires appropriate specialist expertise and skills in the entire age-range and disease spectrum of paediatric intensive care as well as a well-designed paediatric retrieval system.

Full textAbstract:
Healthcare professionals are increasingly aware that the transition from childhood to adulthood requires special consideration, in terms of meeting the needs of young people with any long-term condition, both through healthcare design and delivery and the need for a specific skill and behaviour set in order to do this effectively. Young people can be a forgotten group, not adequately considered in paediatric or adult service development strategies resulting in disrupted care. This phase of life is key, as it is when a young person develops their ideas about, and relationships with the healthcare system and their own health condition, thus setting the scene for future interactions. Young people with endocrine conditions, whether onset is in early childhood or during adolescence, often require lifelong care, and therefore both paediatric and adult healthcare professionals require knowledge about: biopsychosocial development and how it can both affect and be affected by having an endocrine condition; key aspects of adolescent health; developmentally appropriate healthcare; effective transition between paediatric and adult services; endocrine-specific care during adolescence and young adulthood.

Child life specialists, as members of the health care team, are frequently involved in the assessment and management of pain in hospitalized children and children in emergency settings. Child life refers to a non-medical therapeutic service designed to address the developmental, educational, and psychosocial needs of paediatric patients. Child life specialists are professionals who ‘promote effective coping through play, preparation, education, and self-expression activities. They provide emotional support for families, and encourage optimum development of children facing a broad range of challenging experiences, particularly those related to healthcare and hospitalization’ (Child Life Council, 2012a), including painful procedures and coping with other types of pain (e.g. postoperative pain). This chapter provides an overview of the role of a child life specialist, including a historical perspective on the evolution of the field and current child life practices. The chapter then provides a summary of the specific contributions of child life specialists to pain assessment and management, including innovative uses of technology often facilitated by child life specialists.

By the end of this chapter you will be introduced to the concepts of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics with specific emphasis on the infant, child, and young person. You will be presented with the current evidenced- based practice in relation to differing routes of drug administration in children and young people, underpinned by a firm rationale throughout. The key points to consider when administering medications via differing routes to children will be explored. Throughout this chapter the importance and method of drug calculations and mental mathematics will be highlighted, as befits their importance in the safe preparation and administration of all medications. It is anticipated that you will be able to do the following once you have read and studied this chapter: ● Discuss pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics as they relate to drug administration with children. ● Understand the mathematical calculations required to accurately prepare and administer medications in children. ● Understand the key nursing skills required to administer medications to children and young people via differing routes. Historically, drug development specifically for children was only conducted for common disorders/diseases where medication was part of the accepted treatment. Examples are medicines for epilepsy or asthma, antibiotics, or vaccines (Rose, 2005). Because the numbers of children are small in comparison with adults, and the child population is subdivided into age groups from neonates to teenagers, pharmaceutical companies are governed by the commercial market. Consequently they assign limited resources to drug development in the child population because of more limited profit margins. However, this situation is changing, as the European Union established a European Network for Drug Investigation in Children in 1998, with a commitment to improve both clinical use and research into drugs for children (Van den Anker & Choonara, 1999). An international meta-register of controlled clinical trials has been created where particular emphasis is placed on paediatric aspects (Bonati et al., 2001). All of these initiatives serve to change the prevailing view of children as ‘therapeutic orphans’ to an acknowledgement that children are consumers of healthcare services and as such have the right both ethically and morally to medications that are designed and trialled for them specifically.
