    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nursing
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Healthcare Services Research

    Background:

    • Emergency departments (EDs) face increasing pressure.
    • Paediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) offer a potential solution to manage paediatric care in EDs.
    • Understanding parental factors influencing PNP service utilization is crucial for effective healthcare delivery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify key factors influencing parental decisions to utilize paediatric nurse practitioner services in emergency departments.
    • To explore parental perceptions and preferences regarding advanced practice nursing in paediatric emergency care.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative study employing semi-structured interviews with parents whose children received care in EDs.
    • Thematic analysis was used to identify recurring patterns and themes in parental responses.
    • Data collection focused on parental experiences, perceived benefits, and barriers to accessing PNP services.

    Main Results:

    • Parental trust in healthcare providers emerged as a significant factor.
    • Clear communication regarding the PNP's role and scope of practice positively influenced utilization.
    • Accessibility and perceived quality of care were paramount for parental satisfaction and service acceptance.

    Conclusions:

    • Parental trust, effective communication, and perceived quality of care are critical determinants for the successful integration and utilization of paediatric nurse practitioner services in emergency settings.
    • Healthcare systems should focus on enhancing communication strategies and ensuring high-quality, accessible care to optimize the use of PNPs.
    • Addressing parental concerns and building confidence in advanced practice providers can improve paediatric emergency care pathways.

    Decision Making: P-value Method

    The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
    First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim  is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses:  a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...
