Abstract

We conducted a workshop to enhance parental health literacy for managing children with complex health needs. Parents identified key areas requiring support, including puberty, toileting and seizure management. Specialist-led interactive sessions were held, with pre-event and post-event surveys assessing changes in parental confidence. Results showed significant improvements in understanding, with confidence scores rising across all topics, particularly in puberty (2.7 to 4.2) and feeding support (4 to 5). Over 90% of attendees reported the workshop met expectations. This study highlights the benefits of co-production in education and suggests further research into long-term impacts and larger-scale interventions.

通过教育讲习班提高父母的保健知识:改善对有复杂保健需要的儿童的照顾。
我们举办了一个讲习班,以提高家长的健康知识,以管理有复杂健康需求的儿童。家长们确定了需要支持的关键领域,包括青春期、如厕和癫痫发作管理。举办了由专家主持的互动会议,并进行了活动前和活动后的调查,评估家长信心的变化。结果显示,理解能力显著提高,所有主题的信心得分都有所上升,特别是在青春期(2.7至4.2)和喂养支持(4至5)方面。超过90%的与会者表示,研讨会达到了预期。这项研究强调了合作生产在教育方面的好处,并建议进一步研究长期影响和更大规模的干预措施。
