Background:

  • Inter-facility paediatric transport is crucial for accessing specialized tertiary care.
  • Families incur significant burdens during these transfers.
  • Understanding these burdens is essential for improving patient and family support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of inter-facility paediatric transport on families.
  • To identify challenges faced by families during paediatric transfers.
  • To inform improvements in family support services.

Main Methods:

  • A telephone survey was conducted.
  • 54 families who experienced inter-facility paediatric transport were surveyed.
  • Data on family experiences and challenges were collected.

Main Results:

  • Most families expressed appreciation for the transport service and attendant expertise.
  • Significant challenges were reported, including financial difficulties, childcare needs, travel, and accommodation issues.
  • Families not accompanying the child, living far away, or not using hospital accommodation faced the most problems.

Conclusions:

  • While paediatric transport services are valued, substantial family-related problems persist.
  • Targeted interventions are needed to mitigate financial and logistical burdens for families.
  • Further research should explore solutions to enhance family support during paediatric transfers.
