Opportunities to enhance opioid medication safety among children are frequently overlooked. There is little information about what information caregivers want when a child receives an opioid prescription following surgery.
This paper explores pediatric caregivers' baseline knowledge and expectations for opioid medication consults in order to refine an opioid safety consultation intervention. Second, it, assesses caregivers' post-consult knowledge and evaluation after they received the refined opioid safety consultation.
Pediatric patient caregivers were involved in designing and evaluating an opioid education intervention.
Fifteen pediatric caregivers were interviewed about opioid consultations in the pre-intervention phase to inform the design of the subsequent opioid risk and safety consultation intervention. An opioid safety consultation intervention was then developed. Another 15 pediatric caregivers were interviewed in the post-intervention phase to explore impact of the revised intervention. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze data.
Caregivers in the pre-intervention phase reported some knowledge about opioids, wanted to know if their child was prescribed an opioid and wanted information about its opioid risks and safety. Caregivers in the post-intervention phase reported an increase in knowledge about opioid risks and safety, recognized benefit of pharmacists describing the medication as an "opioid", appreciated the handout and were satisfied with the topics covered in the consultation.
Discussing opioid risks can be uncomfortable for pharmacists and patients. This study explored pediatric caregivers' expectations about opioid consults and information they wanted to receive from pharmacists. This was used to develop a patient-centered education intervention which was then evaluated by caregivers for effectiveness, convenience, and comfort.
This study reports pediatric caregivers' perspectives and expectations about opioid consults which provide guidance for pharmacists to facilitate open and informative counseling for opioid medications.
加强儿童阿片类药物安全的机会经常被忽视。关于儿童接受手术后阿片类药物处方时照顾者需要什么信息，信息很少。
本研究旨在探讨儿科照顾者在接受手术后接受阿片类药物处方时的基线知识和期望，以完善阿片类药物安全咨询干预措施。其次，评估照顾者在接受改进后的阿片类药物安全咨询后获得的咨询后知识和评估。
儿科患者照顾者参与了阿片类药物教育干预措施的设计和评估。
在干预前阶段，15 名儿科照顾者接受了有关阿片类药物咨询的访谈，为随后的阿片类药物风险和安全咨询干预措施的设计提供信息。然后开发了一种阿片类药物安全咨询干预措施。在干预后阶段，对另外 15 名儿科照顾者进行了访谈，以探讨修订后的干预措施的影响。采用归纳内容分析法分析数据。
干预前阶段的照顾者报告了一些关于阿片类药物的知识，他们希望了解他们的孩子是否开了阿片类药物，并希望了解其阿片类药物风险和安全性的信息。干预后阶段的照顾者报告称，他们对阿片类药物风险和安全性的知识有所增加，认识到药剂师描述药物为“阿片类药物”的好处，他们赞赏讲义并对咨询中涵盖的主题感到满意。
与药剂师和患者讨论阿片类药物的风险可能会让人感到不适。本研究探讨了儿科照顾者对阿片类药物咨询的期望以及他们希望从药剂师那里获得的信息。这是为了开发一种以患者为中心的教育干预措施，然后由照顾者对其有效性、便利性和舒适度进行评估。
本研究报告了儿科照顾者对阿片类药物咨询的看法和期望，为药剂师提供了指导，以促进阿片类药物的开放和信息咨询。
