Parental Presence on Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Rounds

Cameron, Melissa A., Schleien, Charles L., Morris, Marilyn C.·2009·The Journal of Pediatrics

Abstract

Objective To comprehensively evaluate the effect of parental presence on pediatric intensive care unit rounds. Study design A prospective, observational and survey-based study comprised of (1) observation of rounds (2) "rounding event assessments" (brief surveys specific to 1 rounding event, completed by health care providers [HCPs] n = 375) (3) qualitative interviews with parents (36 who joined rounds and 16 who elected not to join), and (4) qualitative written surveys from HCPs (63 nurses, 39 doctors). Results Eighty-one percent of parents who chose to join rounds reported that participation increased their overall satisfaction with their child's care. In 57% of rounding events, at least 1 HCP learned new, pertinent information from the parents. However, in 32% of rounding events, at least 1 HCP believed parental presence limited discussion. Forty-seven percent of parents who participated in rounds and 88% of those who chose not to participate volunteered that participation has the potential to increase parental confusion and anxiety (P = .02). Conclusions Most parents and physicians agree that parents should be invited to participate on rounds. Parents report increased satisfaction from participation, and parents provide new information when on rounds. However, parental presence may limit discussion during rounds which may adversely affect patient care.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
