Stories of experiences of care for growth hormone deficiency: the CRESCERE project.
Future Science OA 2016 March
AIMS: Growth hormone deficiency therapy is demanding for patients and caregivers. Teams engaged in the clinical management of growth hormone deficiency therapy need to know how families live with this condition, to provide an adequate support and prevent the risk of withdrawal from therapy.
METHODS: Using Narrative Medicine, testimonies from patients, their parents and providers of care were collected from 11 Italian centers. Narrations were analyzed throughout an elaboration of recurring words and expressions.
RESULTS: Although care management and outcomes were considered satisfying in the 182 collected narratives, recurring signals of intolerance among adolescents and the worry of not being well informed about side effects among parents are open issues.
CONCLUSION: Narratives found that communication issues could decrease adherence and influence the physicians' clinical practice.
