The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of parents' preferences regarding the sharing of information between their children's primary care and mental health providers.
Fifty-five parents with a child who was actively engaged in mental health treatment completed an anonymous survey while accompanying their child to either a primary care or mental health clinic appointment. This brief measure elicited parents' experiences with and preferences for treatment coordination across their children's primary care and mental health providers, with a focus on communication practices.
Parents consistently described communication among their children's primary care and mental health providers as important, yet frequently reported that such communication was not currently taking place. Further, parents reported that they were often called upon to act as "communication bridges" between professionals caring for their children.
Implications for the collaborative pediatric and mental health care of children as well as recommendations for improving communication between mental health and pediatric providers are discussed.
本研究的目的是更深入地了解家长对于孩子的初级保健医生和心理健康服务提供者之间信息共享的偏好。
五十五位有孩子正在积极接受心理健康治疗的家长，在陪同孩子前往初级保健或心理健康诊所就诊时，完成了一项匿名调查。这项简短的调查收集了家长在孩子的初级保健医生和心理健康服务提供者之间进行治疗协调的经历和偏好，重点是沟通方式。
家长们一致认为孩子的初级保健医生和心理健康服务提供者之间的沟通很重要，但经常报告说目前这种沟通并未发生。此外，家长们表示他们经常被要求充当照顾孩子的专业人员之间的“沟通桥梁”。
讨论了对儿童综合儿科和心理健康护理的影响，以及改善心理健康服务提供者和儿科医生之间沟通的建议。
