Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Healthcare Management
- Patient Experience
Context:
- Children undergoing significant surgical procedures require specialized care.
- Post-operative care in surgical units can be intensive and aggressive.
- Implementing "well-treatment" presents unique challenges in pediatric surgical settings.
Purpose:
- To explore effective strategies for "well-treatment" of hospitalized children in surgical units.
- To understand the role of trust in pediatric surgical patient care.
- To identify best practices for multidisciplinary teams managing complex pediatric surgical cases.
Summary:
- "Well-treatment" in pediatric surgery hinges on establishing strong trust between the multidisciplinary team, the child patient, and their family.
- Testimonies from healthcare professionals highlight trust as the cornerstone for navigating aggressive surgical procedures and demanding post-operative care.
- Effective implementation requires a collaborative approach focused on patient and family-centered care.
Impact:
- Provides a framework for enhancing patient care in pediatric surgical environments.
- Emphasizes the critical role of psychosocial support alongside medical interventions.
- Informs the development of training programs for multidisciplinary teams in pediatric surgical units.
Abstract:
How should the "well-treatment" of children hospitalised in a surgical unit be implemented when the procedures and post operative care are substantial and often aggressive? The testimonies of a multi-disciplinary team illustrate how in practice "well-treatment" relies on the children's and families' trust in the team.
