RESUMO

To optimize treatment for children and adolescents with obesity and minimize attrition, consideration of parents' engagement and satisfaction with paediatric weight management services is crucial. The aim of this study was to conduct a mixed-methods evaluation of parental acceptability and satisfaction of available paediatric weight management services in New South Wale, Australia's most populous state. Parents/carers referred to one of six weight management services between March 2018 and July 2019 were invited to participate. The study involved: (a) surveys and one-on-one phone interviews to assess overall satisfaction, acceptability of service design and delivery, treatment expectations, and service accessibility, strengths, weaknesses and areas of improvement; (b) a survey to determine costs to families of attending the service; and (c) a survey assessing families' reasons for treatment non-attendance. N = 146 participants completed the survey to assess service satisfaction and acceptability and 37 of these also participated in phone interviews. Ninety-three per cent were satisfied with the overall care they received and patient weight loss/cessation of weight gain and improvement in the family's overall health were rated as the most valued changes. Content analysis of interviews highlighted participants' recognition of positive changes achieved during treatment and appreciation of the resources provided, and the encouraging/empathetic nature of staff. The most common reasons for treatment attrition were difficulty in accessing the weight management service and flexibility of appointment times. Findings from this study can be utilized in future planning and development of paediatric weight management services to facilitate integrated, responsive and effective care of children and adolescents with obesity.

RESUMO

High rates of attrition from pediatric weight management services are well documented in the literature; however, studies reporting on acceptability of "real-world" services have not previously been reviewed. This narrative synthesis aimed to summarize quantitative and qualitative research reporting on satisfaction of families who attended a secondary or tertiary pediatric weight management service. Electronic databases were searched for studies of family and/or patient satisfaction with hospital-based pediatric weight management services. Included articles were scored on their methodological quality. Searches returned 4509 articles of which 17 were eligible. Education, practical strategies to assist behavior change and the approach of staff were reported as the most valued service aspects. Practical, organizational, and service content issues were reported as the primary reasons for poor engagement or discontinuation of treatment. The majority of recommendations for service improvement related to service content, with the following subthemes: program content, delivery of the weight management intervention, individualized treatment, and treatment expectations. Potential strategies for reducing attrition and improving consumer satisfaction include assessment of families' readiness to change at the outset of treatment and implementation of treatment non-negotiables. Development of a standardized measure of patient satisfaction for use in pediatric weight management service development, evaluation, and comparison is recommended.
