Article Synopsis
- High rates of acute respiratory tract infections among Aboriginal children lead to a significant burden of bronchiectasis post-hospitalization, yet medical follow-up after discharge is often lacking.
- The study involved parents and pediatric hospital staff to identify barriers (like lack of information and awareness) and facilitators (such as culturally tailored training for clinicians) that affect the follow-up process.
- A twelve-step plan was developed to enhance medical follow-up for these children, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach that involves collaboration among parents, hospital staff, and healthcare services.
