Parent Perceptions of Team-Delivered Care for Children With Advanced Cancer: A Report From the PediQUEST Study.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Childhood cancer care is delivered by interprofessional health care teams; however, little is known about how parents perceive overall team-delivered care (TDC).

Objectives

We sought to describe parent perceptions of TDC and associated factors, including care rendered by individual clinicians, teamwork, information consistency, and patient and parent characteristics.

Methods

Cross-sectional surveys were distributed to parents of 104 children with recurrent/refractory cancer enrolled in a multisite symptom management trial. The primary outcome, TDC, was parent report of care quality delivered by the child's care team during the preceding three months. Likert-scaled items (excellent/very good/good/fair/poor) queried care quality delivered by individual clinician
