72 Parental Satisfaction Concerning Their Child's Hospital Care: A Questionnaire Survey

Abstract

Oral Abstracts 39 4. Health economic modelling of the costs and effectiveness of CCTH models. Results:The international evidence base on costs and effectiveness of CCTH remains weak. Three main models of CCTH are evident, with different organisational and delivery features and costs. Conclusions:Children with complex, long-term care needs, as well as children with acute conditions that will resolve can be and are cared for safely closer to home. However, barriers and facilitators to further development of CCTH need to be addressed before we can understand 'how far we can go'. Background/aims: In family-centred children's services, it is critical to understand how mothers are responding to the challenges that childhood disability brings to the family. Some mothers will meet these challenges with resiliency and adequate coping; others will need more support and assistance from professionals to care for their child. Currently, there are no brief, psychometrically-sound measures of psychological well-being for use during intake to childhood disability services. The aim of this study was to evaluate two new measures designed to assess the need for psychological support in mothers of children with disability. Background: Nowadays, healthcare needs to be more evidence-based, patient-oriented and families´ perspectives must be taken into account in the appraisal of health services. 71 Methods

Determinants of Parental Satisfaction with Nursing Care in Paediatric Wards—A Preliminary Report

“…Like in the studies conducted by other authors, the age and sex of parents were not determinants of the satisfaction with nursing care [16,33,34,39]. However, there are no unambiguous reports in this area [10,12,40]. The diversity of outcomes in research reports and our study results may be influenced by the choice of a research tool, as well as the family model (patriarchal/matriarchal/partnership) or cultural/national influences.…”
