Filter by:Parent-focused Redesign for Encounters, Newborns to Toddlers (PARENT) is a team-based approach to care that utilizes a community health worker in a health educator role ("Parent's Coach") to provide many of the Well-Child Care (WCC) services that children and families should receive, addresses specific needs faced by families in low-income communities, and decreases reliance on the clinician as the primary provider of WCC services. The model was developed in partnership with clinics and parents in low-income communities and previously tested among largely Latino, Medicaid-insured populations. The aims of this study are to (1) Adapt the PARENT intervention to meet the needs of a diverse, largely Black population of underserved families, (2) Determine the effect of adapted PARENT on receipt of nationally recommended preventive care services, emergency department utilization, and parent experiences of care, (3) Determine whether the effectiveness of adapted PARENT differs by family-level factors, and (4) Explore parents' experiences in receiving adapted PARENT. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of the adapted PARENT model as compared to traditional guideline-based WCC.
Background Despite providing health promotion and preventive measures for children under-5 years are essential for lifelong health and wellbeing of individuals and countries, studies into family physicians' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding comprehensive well-child services for children under-5 years seem to be scarce in developing countries. This study aimed to evaluate family physicians' KAP towards well-child care for children under-5 years in Suez Canal area before and after implementing an interventional program. Methods A pre-post interventional study was conducted from September 2014 to March 2016 on comprehensive sample of 39 family physicians, who were under training in the Family Medicine department, Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University. Their KAP were assessed by valid and reliable questionnaire (78-items) at baseline and after 6 months of implementing a training program.
This study will test whether or not nurses can provide well child care in a multi-disciplinary primary health care team without physicians also seeing the children at pre-scheduled well child care visits.
