Air Medical Journal 2020 July
OBJECTIVE: Parental accompaniment during transport is considered a core quality metrics in pediatric transport and a key measure of family-centered care in this setting. However, children's opinions on this topic have never been sought. The aim of this study was to evaluate the opinion of different actors of a specialized pediatric transport system on parental presence during transport.
METHODS: This was a questionnaire-based descriptive study. Health care professionals qualified to be part of our pediatric transport team, and parents of hospitalized children completed self-administered surveys. Hospitalized children from 5 to 17 years of age were interviewed with a short verbal semistructured questionnaire using sentence completion.
RESULTS: Ninety-three professionals, 65 parents, and 25 children completed the questionnaires between February and August 2018. The majority of children (84%) thought that it would be important to be accompanied by their parent if they needed interfacility transport. All of the parents and 79% of health care professionals thought that parents should have the possibility to be present with their children during interfacility transport.
CONCLUSION: All of the parents and the majority of health care providers and children interviewed think that parents should be able to be present with their child during interfacility transport.
