Parent experiences and information needs related to bronchiolitis: A mixed studies systematic review.
Patient Education and Counseling 2018 December 14
OBJECTIVE: To inform evidence-based knowledge products (i.e., infographics, videos, eBooks) of relevance to parents, we systematically reviewed evidence on parent experiences and information needs related to bronchiolitis.
METHODS: We searched Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, and scanned reference lists for studies published post-2000. We appraised quality in duplicate using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) and synthesized findings narratively.
RESULTS: We retrieved 797 records and included 29; 14 (48%) met >50% of MMAT criteria. Studies predominantly enrolled mothers. Most reported quantitatively on hospitalization experiences (n = 9, 31%), treatments (n = 5, 17%), or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prophylaxis (n = 9, 31%). Ten (34%) studies reported on information needs; 3 contributed qualitative data. Parents could not always identify bronchiolitis symptoms. During hospitalization, parents endured guilt and anxiety. Mothers wanted to take an active role in their child's care but often felt uninvolved. Barriers to RSV prophylaxis included transportation, scheduling, and insurance issues.
CONCLUSIONS: Evidence focused primarily on hospitalization, which parents found frightening. More information is needed on home care experiences and information preferences.
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Timely education and support from healthcare providers may help to alleviate parents' fears and enhance involvement in their child's care.
