Introduction
Examining the impact of appropriate sleep evaluation on diagnosis of attention deficit disorders can improve the standard of care in pediatrics. This quality improvement project examined current practice and subsequent implementation of a validated standardized sleep evaluation tool in the assessment of children with symptoms of attention deficit.Methods
Retrospective chart review and implementation of the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) for children 6 to 14years old with attention deficit symptoms.Measures
Rates of sleep screening, sleep referrals, diagnosis of sleep and attention deficit disorders, Vanderbilt scores, CSHQ scores.Results
In the retrospective group (n?=?41), 76% of patients had attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, 19.5% had sleeping disorders. There were significant provider differences in diagnosing sleep problems (p?=?.007). In the intervention group (n?=?5), 60% had abnormal CSHQ scores.Discussion
There was considerable incidence of sleeping problems in children with symptoms of attention deficit and provider variation in sleep evaluation and diagnosis, with minimal referral to specialist care. Our findings support a more comprehensive and standardized evaluation of sleep when assessing for attention deficit disorders to improve appropriate referrals, diagnosis, and treatment in pediatrics. 相似文献2.
Introduction
Children with special health care needs (CSHCN) have chronic conditions that generally are classified as developmental disabilities. Children with developmental disabilities are at high risk of malnutrition. Gastrostomy buttons are frequently used to provide enteral nutrition for children with developmental disabilities.Objective
This study aimed to understand caregivers’ perceptions regarding gastrostomy button placement for CSHCN.Methods
Caregivers (N?=?257) were recruited from CSHCN peer support groups to complete an online survey regarding perceptions of gastrostomy button placement. Kolmogorov–Smirnov testing found that results were not normally distributed. Nonparametric testing with Spearman rank correlation was used to determine the relationship between Overall Satisfaction With Choice and all other perception variables.Results
The findings suggested overall satisfaction and willingness to accept gastrostomy button placement earlier.Conclusion
Gastrostomy button placement has diverse effects for children with developmental disabilities and their families. Health care professionals must be knowledgeable about the positive and negative outcomes to effectively educate families as they consider gastrostomy placement. 相似文献3.

Introduction
Children with disabilities have significant health care needs, and receipt of care coordinator services may reduce caregiver burdens. The present study assessed caregivers’ experience and satisfaction with care coordination.Method
Caregivers of Medicaid-enrolled children with disabilities (n?=?2,061) completed a survey (online or by telephone) collecting information on the caregivers’ experiences and satisfaction with care coordination using the Family Experiences with Coordination of Care questionnaire.Results
Eighty percent of caregivers with a care coordinator reported receiving help making specialist appointments, and 71% reported help obtaining community services. Caregivers who reported that the care coordinator helped with specialist appointments or was knowledgeable, supportive, and advocating for children had increased odds of satisfaction (odds ratio?=?3.46, 95% confidence interval?=?[1.01, 11.77] and odds ratio?=?1.07, 95% confidence interval?=?[1.03, 1.11], respectively).Discussion
Findings show opportunities for improving care coordination in Medicaid-enrolled children with disabilities and that some specific elements of care coordination may enhance caregiver satisfaction with care. 相似文献4.
Introduction
Asthma is underdiagnosed, particularly for children younger than 5 years old. Clinical practice guidelines have been shown to improve asthma diagnosis and management, but are underutilized. This evidence-based practice project aimed to develop, implement, and evaluate a three-page decision support tool (DST) to improve the asthma diagnosis process among children younger than 5 years old.Methods
This project used a pre-experimental design and was conducted in a pediatric primary care setting with a predominantly South Asian population. The authors analyzed the utilization of the DST as well as the end-users' perception of the tool.Results
Despite above-average results in the end-users' usability scale, the DST had poor utilization.Discussion
Implementation of the DST is recommended at similar pediatric primary care sites. The EBP Project team recommends translating the DST to the electronic health record and improving the roles of the champion. 相似文献5.

Objective
Despite a national focus on physician–patient communication, there is a paucity of literature on how patient and family feedback (PFF) can be used as a tool to help residents learn communication skills. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of coaching on residents’ attitudes towards PFF, self-confidence in communication, and patient-rated communication skills.Methods
This was an institutional review board–approved, randomized-controlled trial with pediatric residents at 3 institutions from 2015 to 2016. Pre- and postintervention, residents completed a self-assessment of their attitudes and self-confidence in communication. PFF was collected for each resident using the Communication Assessment Tool, which has been validated in other medical disciplines. Intervention group residents reviewed their baseline PFF with a faculty coach; control group residents reviewed their PFF independently.Results
In total, 114 residents completed the study, 57 in each arm. Intervention group residents were significantly more likely to ask for PFF compared with control group residents (mean change 0.36 vs –0.11, P?=?.01). There were no other significant differences in resident attitudes, confidence, or patient-rated communication between groups. Both groups had increased self-confidence over time and with increasing postgraduate year level. Patient ratings of resident communication did not differ over time or between groups.Conclusions
Residents who reviewed PFF with a faculty coach were significantly more likely to report they would ask patients for feedback than residents who reviewed PFF independently, suggesting review of feedback with a coach may enhance appreciation of patient feedback. Although self-confidence improved over time in both groups, patient ratings of resident communication skills were not significantly different over time or between groups. 相似文献6.

Background
Burnout is prevalent among pediatric residents, and reducing burnout is a priority for pediatric residency programs. Understanding residents’ personal circumstances, including relationship satisfaction and perceived work-life conflict, may identify novel determinants of burnout.Objectives
To describe intimate partner relationships among pediatric residents and examine associations among relationship satisfaction, work-life factors, and burnout.Methods
We identified 203 partnered residents (married or in a self-identified committed, ongoing relationship) from a cross-sectional survey of 258 residents in 11 New England pediatric programs (response rate 54% of 486 surveys distributed), conducted from April through June of 2013. We analyzed associations among relationship satisfaction, work-life factors, and burnout using multivariable regression. Burnout was measured with the brief Maslach Burnout Inventory, and relationship satisfaction with the validated Relationship Assessment Scale.Results
Burnout was reported by 40.9% of partnered respondents. The vast majority of partnered residents (n?=?167; 85.2%) reported high relationship satisfaction. Lower relationship satisfaction was not associated with burnout. Approximately half of the respondents (n?=?102; 51.5%) reported being satisfied with life as a resident. When controlling for common stressors, such as sleep deprivation, work-life measures associated with burnout included frequent perceived conflicts between personal and professional life (adjusted odds ratio, 4.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.91–9.88) and dissatisfaction with life as a resident (adjusted odds ratio, 11.74; 95% confidence interval, 4.23–32.57).Conclusion
Low relationship satisfaction and common work-life stressors were not associated with burnout among partnered pediatric residents. However, perceived work-life conflict and dissatisfaction with resident life were strongly associated with burnout and are targets for residency programs seeking to ameliorate burnout. 相似文献8.

Objective
This single-specialty, multi-institutional study aimed to determine 1) the association between milestone ratings for individual competencies and average milestone ratings (AMRs) and 2) the association between AMRs and recommended supervisory role categorizations made by individual clinical competency committee (CCC) members.Methods
During the 2015–16 academic year, CCC members at 14 pediatric residencies reported milestone ratings for 21 competencies and recommended supervisory role categories (may not supervise, may supervise in some settings, may supervise in all settings) for residents they reviewed. An exploratory factor analysis of competencies was conducted. The associations among individual competencies, the AMR, and supervisory role categorizations were determined by computing bivariate correlations. The relationship between AMRs and recommended supervisory role categorizations was examined using an ordinal mixed logistic regression model.Results
Of the 155 CCC members, 68 completed both milestone assignments and supervision categorizations for 451 residents. Factor analysis of individual competencies controlling for clustering of residents in raters and sites resulted in a single-factor solution (cumulative variance: 0.75). All individual competencies had large positive correlations with the AMR (correlation coefficient: 0.84–0.93), except for two professionalism competencies (Prof1: 0.63 and Prof4: 0.65). When combined across training year and time points, the AMR and supervisory role categorization had a moderately positive correlation (0.56).Conclusions
This exploratory study identified a modest correlation between average milestone ratings and supervisory role categorization. Convergence of competencies on a single factor deserves further exploration, with possible rater effects warranting attention. 相似文献9.

Objective
Medical providers struggle when communicating with angry patients and their caregivers. Pediatric residents perceive communication competencies as an important priority for learning, yet they lack confidence and desire more training in communicating with angry families. Few curricula exist to support trainees with de-escalation skill development. We developed, implemented, and evaluated the impact of a novel de-escalation curriculum on pediatric resident communication skills.Methods
We conducted a randomized controlled trial of a 90-minute de-escalation curriculum for pediatric residents from August to September 2016. Trained standardized patient (SP) actors rated residents’ communication skills following 2 unique encounters before and after the intervention or control sessions. Residents completed a retrospective pre/post communication skills self-assessment and curriculum evaluation. We used independent and paired t-tests to assess for communication improvements.Results
Eighty-four of 88 (95%) eligible residents participated (43 intervention, 41 control). Residents reported frequent encounters with angry caregivers. At baseline, interns had significantly lower mean SP-rated de-escalation skills than other residents (P?=?.03). Intervention residents did not improve significantly more than controls on their pre/post change in mean SP-rated de-escalation skills; however, intervention residents improved significantly on their pre/post mean self-assessed de-escalation skills (P ≤ .03).Conclusions
Despite significant self-assessed improvements, residents’ SP-rated de-escalation skills did not improve following a skills-based intervention. Nevertheless, our study illustrates the need for de-escalation curricula focused on strategies and peer discussion, suggests optimal timing of delivery during fall of intern year, and offers an assessment tool for exploration in future studies. 相似文献10.

Objective
To examine US pediatricians and US adults on 3 self-reported health measures (sleep, physical activity, and general health status) and to assess factors related to these measures for each group.Methods
Pediatrician data were collected through a 2012 American Academy of Pediatrics Periodic Survey (response rate?=?64.0%). US population data originated from the 2012 National Health Interview Survey (response rate?=?61.2%). Analytic samples included those currently working and ≥30 years old and were restricted to post-trainees (pediatricians; n?=?854) and US adults with at least a bachelor's degree (n?=?5447). Accounting for sample demographic differences, predicted probabilities compared the proportions reporting ≥7 hours of sleep, meeting physical activity recommendations, and reporting very good or excellent health. Multivariable logistic regression examined characteristics associated with health measures for pediatricians and US adults separately.Results
When the US population demographic profile was adjusted to resemble the pediatrician sample, 7 in 10 pediatricians (71.2%; confidence interval [CI], 68.0–74.5) and US adults (69.9%; CI, 67.8–72.0) reported ≥7 hours of sleep. Pediatricians were more likely than US adults to meet physical activity recommendations (71.4%; CI, 68.0–74.8 vs. 62.9%; CI, 60.6–65.2) and less likely to report very good or excellent health (74.3%; CI, 71.2–77.3 vs. 80.2%; CI, 78.3–82.1). In pediatrician and US population multivariable models, self-identified Asians and those working ≥50 hours were less likely to get ≥7 hours of sleep (P < .05).Conclusions
Most US pediatricians and US adults reported getting the recommended amounts of sleep and physical activity and rated their health as very good or excellent. Those working fewer hours reported more sleep. Organization-directed approaches may be needed to help physicians maintain and improve their health. 相似文献11.
Introduction
Sudden cardiac arrest continues to be the leading cause of death in young athletes despite preparticipation sports screening (PPS). The devastating loss of children to sudden cardiac arrest has led communities to demand more comprehensive heart screenings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a community youth heart screening program in Minnesota.Method
A retrospective chart review of 840 participants aged 14 to 18 years from August 2015 through March 2017 was conducted.Results
Referrals were made for two abnormal electrocardiography results, 12 abnormal echocardiography results, and 59 elevated blood pressure readings. Cross-tabulations showed one participant with an abnormal electrocardiogram and six participants with abnormal echocardiograms who had no other abnormal findings at the screening. Findings were not statistically significant.Discussion
It was clinically significant that six participants were found to have potentially lethal electrical or structural heart abnormalities who would have otherwise have remained unidentified with the standard preparticipation sports screening guidelines. 相似文献12.

Objective
Despite the need for quality measures relevant to the work residents complete, few attempts have been made to address this gap. Resident-sensitive quality measures (RSQMs) can help fill this void. This study engaged resident and supervisor stakeholders to develop and inform next steps in creating such measures.Methods
Two separate nominal group techniques (NGTs), one with residents and one with faculty and fellow supervisors, were used to generate RSQMs for 3 specific illnesses (asthma, bronchiolitis, and closed head injury) as well as general care for the pediatric emergency department. Two separate Delphi processes were then used to prioritize identified RSQMs. The measures produced by each group were compared side by side, illuminating similarities and differences that were explored through focus groups with residents and supervisors. These focus groups also probed future settings in which to develop RSQMs.Results
In the NGT and Delphi groups, residents and supervisors placed considerable focus on measures in 3 areas across the illnesses of interest: 1) appropriate medication dosing, 2) documentation, and 3) information provided at patient discharge. Focus groups highlighted hospital medicine and general pediatrics as priority areas for developing future RSQMs but also noted contextual variables that influence the application of similar measures in different settings. Residents and supervisors had both similar as well as unique insights into developing RSQMs.Conclusions
This study continues to pave the path forward in developing future RSQMs by exploring specific settings, measures, and stakeholders to consider when undertaking this work. 相似文献14.

Objective
To improve breastfeeding through home visiting.Methods
From 2013 to 2016, the Home Visiting Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network (HV CoIIN) enrolled 15 home visiting agencies serving 1000 families in 7 states. Using the Breakthrough Series Collaborative model, HV CoIIN faculty taught a theory of change and continuous quality improvement (CQI) skills, as well as facilitating opportunities for networked learning.Results
HV CoIIN improved home visitors’ breastfeeding competencies and use of data to inform practice. Breastfeeding initiation increased from 47% to 61%. Exclusive breastfeeding of 3-month-old babies increased from 10% to 13.5%, and for babies 6 months old it increased from 5% to 8%.Conclusions
Home visiting programs can improve breastfeeding among participants with very low baseline breastfeeding rates. Continuous quality improvement and the Breakthrough Series Collaborative model can be used to improve home visiting services in ways that advance national public health priorities. 相似文献15.

Background
Parents of preterm hospitalized infants, whose lengths of stay can range from a few days to several months, often experience emotional liability. Because the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or Special Care Nursery (SCN) is a stressful and intimidating environment, prompt attention should be given to reducing parental stress and increasing parental confidence in preparation to care for their child post-discharge.Methods
A quality improvement pilot project was designed to evaluate the parent education and support program, titled HUG Your Baby, in a Level II SCN for its ability to decrease stress and increase confidence for postpartum mothers of preterm infants born at less than 35 weeks gestation during the infant's hospitalization.Results
The outcomes demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in maternal stress and a statistically significant increase in maternal confidence.Discussion
The HUG Your Baby program is an effective parent education and support program that would benefit NICU and SCN families. 相似文献17.

Objective
This study evaluates the impact of a coordinated effort by an urban pediatric hospital and its associated accountable care organization to reduce asthma-related emergency department (ED) and inpatient utilization by a large, countywide Medicaid patient population.Methods
Multiple evidence-based interventions targeting general pediatric asthma care and high health care utilizers were implemented using standardized quality improvement methodologies. Annual asthma ED and inpatient utilization rates by 2- to 18-year-old members of an accountable care organization living in the surrounding county (>140,000 eligible members in 2016), adjusted per 1000 children from 2008 through 2016, were analyzed using Poisson regression. We compared these ED utilization rates to national rates from 2006 to 2014.Results
Asthma ED utilization fell from 18.1 to 12.9 visits/1000 children from 2008 to 2016, representing a 28.7% reduction, with an average annual decrease of 3.9% (P < .001), during a time when national utilization was increasing. Asthma inpatient utilization did not change significantly during the study period.Conclusions
Asthma-related ED utilization was significantly reduced in a large population of primarily urban, minority, Medicaid-insured children by implementing a multimodal asthma quality improvement program. With adequate support, a similar approach could be successful in other communities. 相似文献19.

Objective
Adolescent and young adult (AYA) women with pediatric-onset chronic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis (CF), face disease-specific sexual and reproductive health (SRH) concerns. Using concept mapping (CM), this study aimed to identify the SRH topics and outcomes valued by AYA women with CF and their parents.Methods
Women with CF who were 13 to 30years of age and parents of 13- to 30-year-old daughters with CF participated in an online CM study. Participants individually brainstormed, rated, and sorted SRH topics important for AYA women with CF. Using multidimensional scaling, hierarchical cluster analyses, and t tests to assess rating differences, multidisciplinary stakeholders interpreted results during in-person meetings.Results
Twenty-four participants (13 AYAs and 11 parents) generated 109 statements around SRH in CF; 88% completed rating and sorting. Sixteen stakeholders named 6 main clusters of concepts: fertility and pregnancy, deciding to have children, birth control, navigating life, sex, and gynecologic concerns. Participants rated birth control as highest in importance for adolescent women (mean?=?3.9 ± 0.1 on a 5-point scale) and fertility and pregnancy as highest for young adult women (mean?=?4.2 ± 0.04). Parents provided higher importance ratings for all clusters than patient participants. Stakeholders identified patient-centered outcomes for each cluster and focused on how to improve SRH knowledge, decision making, and patient-provider communication in the subspecialty setting.Conclusions
Eliciting patient-centered outcomes using CM can inform improvements in the care of AYAs with pediatric-onset chronic diseases. The SRH topics and patient-centered outcomes identified in this study should inform enhancements to comprehensive clinical care delivery for these populations. 相似文献20.
