Background:
Hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs) aim to interrupt cycles of violence and support recovery among youth exposed to interpersonal violence. However, HVIP evaluations often rely on deficit-oriented outcomes (i.e., reinjury, mortality, criminal justice system involvement) that may not reflect priorities of youth and families.
Objective:
To determine youth and parent perspectives on patient-centered outcomes, needs, and priorities following violent injury.
Methods:
Focus groups were conducted with youth and parents connected to community-based organizations (CBOs) collaborating with a pediatric HVIP. Focus group participants were engaged as community proxies for HVIP participants given their affiliation with CBOs serving violence-affected communities and their relevant experiences with violence and/or service systems. Focus groups explored definitions of health and success, barriers to healing, and priorities for recovery. Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis and consensus-based coding.
Results:
Three focus groups were conducted with a total of 17 participants (12 youth, 5 parents). Five major themes emerged: (1) holistic definitions of health and success; (2) emotional communication and processing during recovery following violent injury; (3) systemic and structural barriers to recovery; (4) social circles as key determinants in healing; (5) the role of trust in recovery. Regarding patient-centered outcome priorities, youth emphasized goal-planning, mental health and social needs, while parents highlighted mental health, mentorship, and repeat injury.
Conclusions:
Youth and parents prioritize outcomes that extend beyond traditional HVIP metrics. Incorporating patient-centered outcomes into program evaluation may better capture meaningful recovery and improve trauma-informed design of HVIPs.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...

Parenting Styles
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
