RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The importance of assessing family satisfaction in paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) is becoming increasingly recognised. The survey, EMpowerment of Parents in THe Intensive Care "EMPATHIC-30", was designed to assess family satisfaction and has been translated and implemented in several countries but not yet in Japan. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the EMPATHIC-30 questionnaire in Japanese and to identify potential factors for family-centred care satisfaction. METHODS: We translated and adapted for patient-reported outcome measures via a 10-step process outlined by the Principles of Good Practice. Four paediatric PICUs in Japan participated in the validation study, and the parental enrolment criterion was a child with a PICU stay of >24 h. Reliability was measured by Cronbach's α, and congruent validity was tested with overall satisfaction-with-care scales by correlation analysis. Multivariate linear regression modelling was conducted to identify factors related to each domain of the Japanese EMPATHIC-30. RESULTS: A total of 163 parents (mean age: 31.9 ± 5.4 years; 81% were mothers) participated. The five domains of the Japanese EMPATHIC-30 showed high reliability (α = 0.87 to 0.97) and congruent validity, demonstrating high correlations with overall satisfaction in nurses (r = 0.75) and doctors (r = 0.76). Multivariate modelling found that elective admission, mechanical ventilation, and parents who had experience of a family member in an adult intensive care unit had higher satisfaction scores in all five domains (p < 0.05). Moreover, Buddhists assigned higher satisfaction scores in the Care and Treatment domain (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: The Japanese EMPATHIC-30 questionnaire has demonstrated adequate reliability and validity measures. We also identified that elective admission, mechanical ventilation, and having previous adult intensive care unit experience of a family member were factors in assigning higher scores for all satisfaction domains. PICU clinicians need to be cognisant of ethical, cultural, and religious factors relating to the critically ill child and their family.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: We elucidate to investigate the prevalence of and factors associated with the use of physical restraints among critically ill or injured children in PICUs. DESIGN: This was a multicenter, longitudinal point prevalence study. SETTING: We included 26 PICUs in Japan. PATIENTS: Included children were 1 month to 10 years old. We screened all admitted patients in the PICUs on three study dates (in March, June, and September 2019). INTERVENTION: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: We collected prevalence and demographic characteristics of critically ill or injured children with physical restraints, as well as details of physical restraints, including indications and treatments provided. A total of 398 children were screened in the participating PICUs on the three data collection dates. The prevalence of children with physical restraints was 53% (211/398). Wrist restraint bands were the most frequently used means (55%, 117/211) for potential contingent events. The adjusted odds of using physical restraint in patients 1-2 years old was 2.3 (95% CI, 1.3-4.0) compared with children less than 1 year old. When looking at the individual hospital effect, units without a prespecified practice policy for physical restraints management or those with more than 10 beds were more likely to use physical restraints. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of physical restraints in critically ill or injured children was high, and significant variation was observed among PICUs. Our study findings suggested that patient age, unit size, and practice policy of physical restraint could be associated with more frequent use of physical restraints.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The use of pediatric rapid response systems (RRSs) to improve the safety of hospitalized children has spread in various western countries including the United States and the United Kingdom. We aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of pediatric RRSs and barriers to use in Japan, where epidemiological information is limited. DESIGN: A cross-sectional online survey. SETTING: All 34 hospitals in Japan with pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) in 2019. PARTICIPANTS: One PICU physician per hospital responded to the questionnaire as a delegate. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Prevalence of pediatric RRSs in Japan and barriers to their use. RESULTS: The survey response rate was 100%. Pediatric RRSs had been introduced in 14 (41.2%) institutions, and response teams comprised a median of 6 core members. Most response teams employed no full-time members and largely comprised members from multiple disciplines and departments who served in addition to their main duties. Of 20 institutions without pediatric RRSs, 11 (55%) hoped to introduce them, 14 (70%) had insufficient knowledge concerning them and 11 (55%) considered that their introduction might be difficult. The main barrier to adopting RRSs was a perceived personnel and/or funding shortage. There was no significant difference in hospital beds (mean, 472 vs. 524, P = 0.86) and PICU beds (mean, 10 vs. 8, P = 0.34) between institutions with/without pediatric RRSs. CONCLUSIONS: Fewer than half of Japanese institutions with PICUs had pediatric RRSs. Operating methods for and obstructions to RRSs were diverse. Our findings may help to popularize pediatric RRSs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Unscheduled readmission to a paediatric intensive care unit can lead to unfavourable patient outcomes. Therefore, determining the incidence and risk factors is important. Previous studies on such readmissions have only focused on the first 48 hours after discharge and described the relative risk factors as unmodifiable. AIM: To identify the incidence and risk factors of unscheduled readmission to a paediatric intensive care unit within 7 days of discharge. DESIGN: This was a retrospective observational study. METHODS: Our study population comprised consecutive patients admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit of our tertiary hospital in Japan in 2012 to 2016. We determined the incidence of unscheduled readmission to the unit within 7 days of discharge and identified potential risk factors using multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Among the 2432 admissions (1472 patients), 60 admissions (2.5%, 44 patients) were followed by ≥1 unscheduled readmission. The median time to readmission was 3.5 days. The most common causes for readmission were respiratory issues and cardiovascular symptoms. The significant risk factors for readmission within 7 days of discharge were unscheduled initial admission (odds ratio [OR]: 3.02; 95% confidence interval [CI:] 1.45-6.31), admission from a general ward (OR: 5.13; 95% CI: 1.75-15.0), and withdrawal syndrome during the initial stay (OR: 3.95; 95% CI: 1.53-10.2). CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of unscheduled readmission within 7 days was not high (2.5%), and one of the three identified risk factors for readmissions (withdrawal syndrome) is potentially modifiable. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Appropriate treatment of withdrawal syndrome may reduce readmissions and improve patient outcomes. Although unscheduled initial admission and admission from general ward are not modifiable risk factors, careful discharge judgement and follow up after discharge from paediatric intensive care units for high-risk patients may be beneficial.
