Parents' experiences of their child's best interests during a hospital stay in Australia.

Determining the child's best interests in a hospital setting will ideally involve the combined views of children, parents, and healthcare professionals. However, few studies have explored parents' experiences of their child's best interests when they engage with the healthcare system. Therefore, this study aimed to explore parents' experiences of their child's best interests during hospitalisation.

eHealth usage among parents to premature or surgically treated neonates: associations with eHealth literacy, healthcare satisfaction or satisfaction with an eHealth device.

Background: A specific eHealth device, a surf tablet, was developed for bridging between advanced in-hospital care and children's homes. Since little is known about determinators for parental eHealth usage, the study's aim was to explore if parents' usage of the device was associated with their eHealth literacy, or their satisfaction with their child's healthcare or with the specific surf tablet.

Methods: In this explorative usage and questionnaire study, parents to neonates who were discharged home after advanced in-hospital care were included.

Health Care Professionals' Experiences and Views of eHealth in Pediatric Care: Qualitative Interview Study Applying a Theoretical Framework for Implementation.

Background: The development and evaluation of eHealth interventions in clinical care should be accompanied by a thorough assessment of their implementation. The NASSS (Non-adoption, Abandonment, and Challenges to the Scale-Up, Spread, and Sustainability of Health and Care Technologies) framework was designed to facilitate the implementation and scale-up of health technology programs, providing an option for analyzing the progression of these initiatives as they are implemented in real-time. Considering health care provider perspectives within the framework for implementation offers valuable insights into the early identification of barriers and facilitators in the implementation of potentially effective eHealth innovations.

Aims And Objectives: To describe ways in which children's best interests were observed to be expressed in paediatric settings during their hospital visit.

Background: The best interests of the child are embodied in national and international legal systems, although the definition remains problematic. The child's limited autonomy mandates duty bearers to have both a child perspective and the child's perspective when considering what the best interest of the child entails in care situations.

How Can Clinical Outcomes among Adolescents Living with HIV in Ethiopia be Improved? Healthcare Professionals' Perspectives.

While successes in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission program are believed to lead to substantial reductions in new perinatal infections, new sexually acquired infections among the older adolescent group seem to fuel the HIV epidemic. That is why adolescents are the only age group in which an increase in new HIV infections was reported in the latest global HIV progress update. Increase in the number of perinatally HIV infected children growing to adolescence adds to this pool.
