Research evaluating NF systems has focused primarily on the perspective of the resident with respect to fatigue and quality of life. Understanding the broader consequences of NF models from both trainee and faculty points of view is essential to creating effective and sustainable systems to comply with duty-hour regulations while maximizing patient care, education, and quality of life (QoL). Methods This study used qualitative thematic analysis situated in a constructivist paradigm to explore the experience of an NF system by residents and faculty. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 trainees and 3 faculty members at a large academic pediatric hospital to understand their perceptions of an NF call structure compared to the traditional 24-h call schedule. Results Three themes were identified: (i) Implications for resident; (ii) Implications for patient and family; and (iii) Implications for curriculum. Eight sub-themes were identified, highlighting both intended and unintended consequences of the NF system. Conclusions The NF system resulted in the intended outcomes of decreased fatigue and improved continuity of patient care. Unintended outcomes also occurred, however, including negative effects on assessment and feedback, lack of integration of competencies, and mixed results on resident quality of life. These areas require special attention when designing and implementing NF systems.","PeriodicalId":19730,"journal":{"name":"Paediatrics & child health","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142183315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are self-report tools that measure outcomes deemed to be of importance to patients. PROMs may assess a single outcome or multiple outcomes simultaneously, such as symptoms, functional ability, and quality of life. This study aims to identify PROMs for paediatric gender-affirming care. Methods This systematic review is PRISMA-compliant and was prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023461959). Six databases were searched: PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Web of Science from inception to December 16, 2022. Articles meeting the following criteria were included: 1) Original article; 2) Administers a formally-developed PROM; 3) Focuses on gender-affirming care; and 4) Focuses on paediatric populations. Screening and data extraction occurred independently and in duplicate. Data extracted include study/demographic information, and details of PROM used. Results In total, 20 articles were included, representing a total of 5793 paediatric patients undergoing gender-affirming care. Most studies (13, 65%) focused on hormonal gender-affirming care. A total of 38 different PROMs for paediatric gender-affirming care were identified, ranging from 4 to 120 items each (mean 23 items; median 14 items). Most PROMs (n = 22) measured psychological functioning, with eight PROMs measuring quality of life, and three PROMs measuring gender-related concepts (i.e., gender dysphoria/euphoria). Commonly used PROMs include the Utrecht Gender Dysphoria Scale (n = 4; 20%), Body Image Scale (n = 5;25%), and Youth Self-Report (n = 8; 40%).

We evaluated the clinical research capacity of several Canadian paediatric emergency departments (EDs) and described both the challenges experienced in the implementation of the PRIMED study and the strategies which were used to improve local research capacity. Methods Eleven paediatric EDs across Canada provided basic demographic and administrative data along with laboratory- and human-resource availability during the PRIMED study enrollment. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics. Results Fewer than half of the study sites (5/11, 45%) had access to a laboratory that would process research samples 24 hours per day. Four study sites (36%) only enrolled patients during business hours (8:00–17:00). There was no nighttime coverage for patient enrollment and sample collection. Only three study sites (27%) had enrollment hours that captured over 75% of the potential study participants. Over half of the study sites (6/11, 55%) developed novel processes to enable study success, for example, creating graduate student on-call schedules and hiring bioscience-trained site coordinators to process samples.
