“…8,[24][25][26][27] In patients without cardiac disease discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit or children with seizure disorders, simulation tools and educational mobile applications are used to help caregivers address knowledge gaps and enhance discharge readiness. 25,[28][29][30][31] As we move to improve the discharge education process in cardiac care units, one approach may be to introduce a discharge checklist to standardise some of the information caregivers receive and evaluate these strategies in future research.…”

Post-operative discharge education for parent caregivers of children with congenital heart disease: a needs assessment

et al. 2020

Objective: Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) have complex unique post-operative care needs. Limited data assess parents’ hospital discharge preparedness and education quality following cardiac surgery. The goals were to identify knowledge gaps in discharge preparedness after congenital heart surgery and to assess the acceptability of an educational mobile application to improve discharge preparedness. Methods: Telephonic interviews with parents of children with two-ventricle physiology who underwent cardiac surgery 5–7 days post-discharge and in-person interviews with clinicians were conducted. We collected parent and clinician demographics, parent health literacy information and patient clinical data. We analysed interview transcripts using summative content analysis. Results: We interviewed 26 parents and 6 clinicians. Twenty-two of the 26 (85%) parents felt ready for discharge; 4 of the 6 (67%) clinicians did not feel most parents were ready for discharge. Fifteen of the 26 parents (58%) reported receiving the majority of discharge teaching on the day of discharge. Eight parents did not feel like all of their questions were answered. Most parents (14/26, 54%) preferred visual educational learning aids and could accurately describe important aspects of care. Most parents (23/26, 88%) and all 6 clinicians felt a mobile application for post-operative care education would be helpful. Conclusions: Most parents received education on the day of discharge and could describe the information they received prior to discharge, although there were some preparedness gaps identified after discharge. Clinicians and parents varied in their perceptions of the readiness for discharge. Most responses suggest that a mobile application for discharge education may be helpful for transition to home.

“…SBE improves caregiver confidence and competence in man-aging seizures and gives insight into performance during stressful situations. 15 Similarly, SBE has been beneficial for families of children with diabetes 16,17 and children with asthma. 18 SBE may also be used to improve parents' skills managing common conditions such as fever.…”

Simulation-based education for home caregivers of children with chronic conditions provides hands-on training set in a safe, confidential, supportive learning environment that is founded on the principles of patient-and family-centered care. This type of education and approach has been favored over traditional educational methods and may also improve caregivers' comfort, confidence, knowledge, skills, and ability to manage their child's routine and emergent care at home. Pediatricians play a vital role in this type of education as an advocate for their patients and families and as key stakeholders and collaborators in the process. Open collaboration and information sharing among home caregivers, simulation experts, pediatricians, and the rest of the medical team can lead to the development and implementation of successful simulation curricula. This in turn has the potential to lead to improved patient safety, quality of care, and patient outcomes. [Pediatr Ann. 2021;50(1):e39-e43.]

“…Just as health care providers can learn and practice technical skills, cognitive reasoning, and behavioral tasks, so too can patients and family members, empowering them to fully participate in their care. 41,42 Cognitive skills relevant for families in the ED may include recognition of anaphylaxis, a prolonged seizure, or respiratory distress. Technical skills relevant for families of patients in the ED include administering an intramuscular injection of epinephrine, antiepileptic rescue medication, or administration of albuterol metered dose inhaler with spacer and facemask.…”
