To evaluate feasibility and acceptability of post-hospitalization telemedicine video visits (TMVV) during hospital-to-home transitions for children with medical complexity (CMC); and explore associations with hospital utilization, caregiver self-efficacy (CSE), and family self-management (FSM).
This non-randomized pilot study assigned CMC (n=28) to weekly TMVV for four weeks post-hospitalization; control CMC (n=20) received usual care without telemedicine. Feasibility was measured by time to connection and proportion of TMVV completed; acceptability was measured by parent-reported surveys. Pre/post-discharge changes in CSE, FSM, and hospital utilization were assessed.
64 TMVV were completed; 82 % of patients completed 1 TMVV; 54 % completed four TMVV. Median time to TMVV connection was 1 minute (IQR=2.5). Parents reported high acceptability of TMVV (mean 6.42; 1 -7 scale). CSE and FSM pre/post-discharge were similar for both groups; utilization declined in both groups post-discharge.
Post-hospitalization TMVV for CMC were feasible and acceptable during hospital-to-home transitions.
评估医疗复杂性儿童(CMC)在从医院过渡到家庭期间进行出院后远程医疗视频问诊(TMVV)的可行性和可接受性;并探讨其与医院利用率、照顾者自我效能感(CSE)和家庭自我管理(FSM)之间的关联。
这项非随机试点研究将CMC(n = 28)分配为在出院后四周内每周进行一次TMVV;对照CMC(n = 20)接受无远程医疗的常规护理。通过连接时间和完成的TMVV比例来衡量可行性;通过家长报告的调查来衡量可接受性。评估出院前/后CSE、FSM和医院利用率的变化。
完成了64次TMVV;82%的患者完成了1次TMVV;54%的患者完成了4次TMVV。TMVV连接的中位时间为1分钟(IQR = 2.5)。家长报告TMVV的可接受性较高(平均6.42;1 - 7分制)。两组出院前/后CSE和FSM相似;两组出院后利用率均下降。
对于CMC,出院后TMVV在从医院过渡到家庭期间是可行且可接受的。
