To survey parents bringing children to an urban pediatric primary care clinic about (1) how they learned parenting skills, (2) role of the clinic in teaching parenting, (3) helpfulness of information sources, and (4) preferred modalities for teaching.
A total of 108 adults completed an oral survey in clinic, consisting of open-ended questions, yes/no endorsements, Likert ratings, and demographic questions.
The majority reported learning to parent from their families or "by just doing it." Talking with professionals was rated as very helpful. Most had parenting questions. Almost half wanted information regarding specific developmental/behavioral issues, while only 8% wanted medical information. Most felt they could talk with clinic professionals about concerns but fewer had done so. Modality preferences were reported.
Inner-city parents value working with primary care providers to improve knowledge of developmental/behavioral issues. Results have implications for the anticipatory guidance process, content of information provided, and the training of pediatric healthcare providers. We determined preferences for information delivery.
对带孩子前往城市儿科初级保健诊所的家长进行调查，内容包括：（1）他们如何学习育儿技巧；（2）诊所 在育儿教学方面的作用；（3）信息来源的帮助程度；（4）首选的教学方式。
共有108名成年人在诊所完成了一项口头调查，调查内容包括开放式问题、是/否认可、李克特量表评分以及人口统计学问题。
大多数人表示从家人那里或“边做边学”来学习育儿。与专业人士交谈被认为非常有帮助。大多数人有育儿方面的问题。近一半的人想要了解特定发育/行为问题的信息，而只有8%的人想要医学信息。大多数人觉得他们可以就自己关心的问题与诊所专业人士交谈，但实际这样做的人较少。报告了对教学方式的偏好。
市中心的家长重视与初级保健提供者合作，以提高对发育/行为问题的认识。研究结果对预期指导过程、所提供信息的内容以及儿科医疗保健提供者的培训具有启示意义。我们确定了信息传递的偏好。
