    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Child Psychology
    • Educational Psychology

    Background:

    • Pediatricians manage a wide range of child health issues, including medical, developmental, and psychosocial concerns.
    • Assessing healthcare provider competence is crucial for effective patient care and outcomes.
    • Understanding perceptions of competence can inform training and resource allocation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate pediatricians' self-perceived competence in addressing psychosocial, developmental, and traditional medical problems in children.
    • To compare pediatricians' perceived competence with the views of teachers, parents, and youth regarding pediatric care utilization.
    • To identify potential discrepancies in perceived expertise within pediatric practice.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire-based survey was administered to assess pediatricians' perceived competence.

  • Comparative analysis was conducted using data from a similar questionnaire distributed to seventh-grade teachers, youth, and parents.
  • Data focused on the types of problems for which pediatricians were consulted.

    • Main Results:

    • Pediatricians reported higher perceived competence in managing traditional medical problems compared to psychosocial and developmental issues.
    • Significant differences were found in self-assessment versus external stakeholder perceptions of competence in non-traditional areas.
    • The study identified a gap in perceived expertise for psychosocial and developmental domains.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatricians may overestimate their abilities in psychosocial and developmental areas, or these areas may be underserved.
    • Further training and support are likely needed to enhance pediatricians' competence in non-traditional child health domains.
    • Addressing these perceived gaps is essential for comprehensive child healthcare and well-being.
