Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Digital health interventions offer limited support for parents managing acutely ill children at home. More research is needed to develop accessible and inclusive digital tools for pediatric acute illness care.
Area Of Science
- Pediatric healthcare
- Digital health interventions
- Parental support
Background
- Acute childhood illnesses are common, causing parental uncertainty in recognizing symptoms and seeking timely medical care.
- Digital health interventions are increasingly used in healthcare, but their role in supporting parents of acutely ill children needs further exploration.
Purpose Of The Study
- To systematically review digital interventions designed to assist parents in caring for acutely ill children at home.
Main Methods
- A systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
- Searched five databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, PsycNET, Web of Knowledge) for studies on digital interventions, children, and acute illness.
- Included seven studies after screening 48 papers, using narrative synthesis due to heterogeneity.
Main Results
- Limited evidence exists on the availability, impact, and efficacy of current digital interventions for parents of acutely ill children.
- Barriers to digital intervention use include accessibility and health literacy.
- There is a lack of representation for diverse parental needs across different cultures and populations.
Conclusions
- Further research is essential to co-design and evaluate digital interventions that meet the diverse needs of parents caring for acutely ill children.
- Digital tools must address accessibility, health literacy, and cultural diversity to effectively support parents.

Documentation in long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings is crucial for ensuring continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive care for patients. Each setting has its specific documentation processes and tools:
Long-Term Care Facilities
• Purpose: Documentation in long-term care facilities is critical for interprofessional resident assessment and planning. It ensures that all aspects of a resident's care - from medical needs to daily living assistance - are thoroughly...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Efficient Information Management: NCIS is designed to manage patient information efficiently, making it easily accessible to...
