Abstract

Purpose

To explore the experiences, information needs and preferences of children who have had a concussion and their parents who have cared for them.

Design

Qualitative description.

Methods

Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted via Zoom with children who have had a concussion between ages 5 and 16 years and parents who have cared for a child with a concussion. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed.

Results

Fourteen interviews were conducted with children and parents who have experiences with concussion. Four major themes were identified: (1) mechanism of injury and concussion symptoms experienced by children, (2) parent concerns, emotions, and health care experience with child's concussion, (3) concussions affect more than just your head and, (4) health information seeking, and preferences of parents and children related to concussion. Children and their parents have unique experiences, information needs and preferences regarding concussion.

Practice Implications

This information offers valuable insights about developing resources about childhood concussion that parents and children will find useful and relevant. This research has direct relevance to healthcare professionals who may encounter children with concussion in their daily practice so they can ensure the needs of children and families are being met. Our findings will be used to create the content for an innovative knowledge translation tool about pediatric concussion.

“你无法修复你的大脑”:探索孩子和父母的脑震荡经历

目的探讨脑震荡儿童及其照顾者的经历、信息需求和偏好。设计定性描述。方法采用Zoom软件对5 ~ 16岁的脑震荡患儿和曾照顾过脑震荡患儿的家长进行半结构化定性访谈。采访录音和文字记录。结果对有脑震荡经历的儿童和家长进行了14次访谈。研究确定了四个主要主题:(1)儿童受伤和脑震荡症状的机制;(2)父母对儿童脑震荡的担忧、情绪和医疗保健经验;(3)脑震荡不仅仅影响你的头部，(4)健康信息的寻求以及父母和儿童对脑震荡的偏好。孩子和他们的父母对脑震荡有独特的经历、信息需求和偏好。实践启示这一信息为开发儿童脑震荡资源提供了宝贵的见解，父母和孩子会发现这些资源有用且相关。这项研究与那些在日常实践中可能遇到脑震荡儿童的医疗保健专业人员直接相关，因此他们可以确保满足儿童和家庭的需求。我们的研究结果将用于创建关于儿童脑震荡的创新知识翻译工具的内容。
