dc.description.abstract |
The families of children who are seriously ill frequently experience distress that affects their ability to cope. A formative evaluation of a family psychosocial assessment framework was undertaken using mixed methods. The attitudes and perspectives of primary caregivers and healthcare providers regarding psychosocial assessment were examined. Rather than finalising a new screening instrument, a conceptual framework emerged to guide communication about psychosocial issues. The emergent conceptual model supports the implementation of a skilled-based practice intervention. | en_US |
