    Caring for children with special health needs at home requires specialized skills. This study developed a competency-based curriculum to train adults for this critical role, addressing a gap in home care providers.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Home Healthcare
    • Medical Training and Education
    • Specialized Nursing Care

    Background:

    • Technological advancements allow children with special health needs (e.g., tracheostomy, ventilator dependence) to transition home.
    • A significant gap exists between the increasing need for specialized home care and the availability/competence of providers.
    • This necessitates structured training programs for caregivers managing complex pediatric needs in community settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design, develop, implement, and validate a competency-based curriculum.
    • To prepare adults for providing specialized care to medically fragile children at home.
    • To address the workforce shortage in pediatric home healthcare.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a competency-based educational framework.

    Conclusions:

    • A competency-based curriculum is crucial for equipping adults to care for children with special health needs at home.
