AI Article Synopsis
- The Individual Care Plan (ICP) for pediatric palliative care (PPC) was created to aid healthcare professionals in offering personalized care to children with serious illnesses and their families, but it's not being utilized for all who need it.
- Healthcare professionals expressed a desire to use the ICP to collaborate with parents on care plans to ensure coordination, continuity, and shared decision-making, particularly for children with complex chronic conditions.
- Future research should investigate whether implementing the ICP can fulfill these broader care objectives effectively in practice.
Article Abstract
Background: To ensure high-quality pediatric palliative care (PPC) and enable healthcare professionals (HCPs) to provide person-centered care for the individual child with a life-limiting or life-threatening illness and their family, the Individual Care Plan (ICP) for PPC was developed. However, in practice, the ICP for PPC is not used for all children in need of PPC. Insight into why, for which problem and for which children HCPs wish to use an ICP in PPC is therefore necessary to assure that the ICP can be fully implemented in practice.
Methods: Two semi-structured focus group interviews were held with 15 experienced healthcare professionals in PPC. Data were thematically analyzed.
Results: Participants wish to use an ICP to collaboratively establish a plan with parents for the current and future care and treatment of the child. By doing so, they hope to achieve coordination and continuity of care, to achieve shared decision-making, and to support parents and other healthcare professionals in the care of the child. Participants think the ICP could also be used in the care for children with complex chronic conditions.
Conclusion: The purposes for which healthcare professionals wish to use an ICP in PPC are broader than the purpose for which the ICP for PPC was developed. Future research should focus on whether the use of an ICP in PPC practice can achieve these purposes.

Introduction: Paediatric palliative care (PPC) is care for children with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions, and can involve complex high-tech care, which can last for months or years. In 2015, the National Individual Care Plan (ICP) for PPC was developed and has shown to be successful. The ICP can be seen as an instrument to facilitate coordination, quality and continuity of PPC.

A detailed understanding of the factors governing nanomaterial biodistribution is needed to rationally design safe nanomedicines. This research details the pharmacokinetics of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) biodistribution after arterial infusion of 40 or 80 nm AuNP (1 μg/ml) into the isolated perfused porcine skin flap (IPPSF). AuNP had surface coatings consisting of neutral polyethylene glycol (PEG), anionic lipoic acid (LA), or cationic branched polyethylenimine (BPEI).
