Leptospirosis encephalitis in a pediatric patient: case report

Abstract

This is a case report, the purpose of which is to describe the experience of using the Pediatric Care Assessment Questionnaire Based on Perceptions of Maternal Care as an add on to Pediatrics guidelines. The results showed that the mothers’ confidence in pediatric guidelines is an indispensable factor for excellence in monitoring the mother’s and the child’s health. However, one of the biggest barriers to a better quality of care in this profession is insufficient time during the consultation to extend the care to the empowered mother regarding her desire for the doctor’s support for shared decision-making. The results made explicit the similarities and differences in this dynamic and the need to converge the two sides of this relationship. In this study, we recommend further studies in the field of pediatrics with regards to empowered mothers in pediatric clinics, implications and solutions for the excellence of pediatric care.
