Abstract

Objective Children with autism spectrum disorders (CWASDs) have more difficulty tolerating hospital procedures than many other children. The aim of this study was to identify parent and provider perspectives on barriers and facilitators to procedural care for CWASDs. Methods Semistructured interviews were conducted with medical staff and parents of CWASDs. Those parents whose child with autism required a procedure in a tertiary care sedation unit and those whose child was enrolled in autismMatch (a research registry for individuals with autism) were recruited. Staff providing direct patient care in the tertiary care sedation unit were recruited. Participants were asked open-ended questions about factors contributing to or interfering with successful completion of medical procedures for CWASDs. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, coded, and analyzed using modified grounded theory techniques. Results Twenty mothers and 20 medical staff members were interviewed. Participants described 2 domains essential to care of CWASDs but in which barriers existed: (1) productive interactions between providers and families, largely dependent on advanced preparation and (2) modifications to healthcare organization and delivery in the areas of patient flow and clinical environment. Individualized care is essential to quality care in both domains. Conclusions Children with autism spectrum disorders require individualized interventions to maximize the quality of procedural 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.
