Article Synopsis
- Parents in pediatric intensive care units have different communication experiences with healthcare professionals, and it's important to understand factors that contribute to miscommunication.
- A survey of 200 parents revealed that a significant portion reported experiencing miscommunication, with factors such as parental stress and trust in physicians impacting these perceptions.
- The study highlights the need for more research on miscommunication factors to improve support for children and their families during hospital stays.
Purpose: Miscommunication between parents and healthcare providers in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) can affect family-provider relationships and outcomes. This paper reports on the development and psychometric testing of a measure for parent perceived miscommunication, defined as the failure to communicate clearly as perceived by relevant stakeholders in the PICU.
Design And Methods: Miscommunication items were identified through a review of the literature with interdisciplinary experts.
