2. Acknowledgements
§ We would like to begin by acknowledging that we meet on the
traditional territories of the Mississauga and Haudenosaunee nations,
and within the lands protected by the âDish with One Spoonâ
wampum agreement.
§ We would also like to acknowledge that living on this land gives us
the opportunity to learn not only from all the ethnicities that settled
here but also from the first people who lived here:

9. TheVoices of children
The results of qualitative inquiry:
§The experience of having a conditions: feeling trapped
§Life fulfillment: school issues and activities
§Social: carrying on with life
§Impact of a condition: seeing oneself different

Children's Participation in Identifying the Components. Dev Med Child Neurol 1999, 41: 554-559
10. TheVoices of parents
The results of qualitative inquiry:
§ The experience of having a conditions: childâs knowledge, and affect
§ Life fulfillment: hospital and healthcare issues
§ Social: stigma
§ Impact of a condition: uncertainty
§ Attribution: condition vs. child development and social issues

Children's Participation in Identifying the Components. Dev Med Child Neurol 1999, 41: 554-559
11. Child/parent aspects
Quantitative exploration of the qualitative data
§ Peer and parentsâ support are the major determinants of QoL
§ Children rate their QOL better except for worries & concerns
§ Parents are unaware for their childâs domain for âquest for normalityâ
§ Only the parents are concerned about âfutureâ issues
Ronen et al. 2003, Verhey et al. 2009, Fayed et al. 2015
12. Child/parent discordance
Quantitative exploration with effect size >.5
§ Epilepsy parents were concerned about mood/emotions & bullying
§ CP parents were concerned over physical wellbeing, autonomy & social
support
§ Epilepsy children scored their behavior 2-3 times better than did their
parents; almost comparable with their typical siblingsâ self-report.
§ Parents scored worse behavior for their children with epilepsy than for
their siblings, even when children became problem free.

14. Narrative Medicine
変Narrative knowledge is what one uses to understand the
meaning and significance of stories through cognitive,
symbolic, and affective means.â
Charon R. Narrative Medicine A Model for Empathy, Reflection, Profession, andTrust.
JAMA - J Am Med Assoc. 2001;286(15):1897-1902.
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/194300
15. Narrative Medicine
§ âNarrative knowledge is what one uses to understand the meaning
and significance of stories through cognitive, symbolic, and affective
means.â
§ Unlike its complement â logic and scientific knowledge â
narrative knowledge leads to a specific understanding about a
single situation by one participant or observer.

means.â
§ Unlike its complement â logic and scientific knowledge â narrative
knowledge leads to specific understanding about a single situation by
one participant or observer.
変Medicine can, as a result, better understand the experiences
of sick peopleâ

17. PROs and PROMs
§PROs and PROMs reflect any aspect of a personal report of
the individualâs health that comes directly from that person,
unfiltered by others.

system for research and clinical practice. Qual Life Res. 2008;17(9):1125-1135.
18. PROs and PROMs
§ PROs and PROMs reflect any aspect of a personal report of the
individualâs health that comes directly from that person, unfiltered by
others.
§Help healthcare providers to focus on a personâs individual
health goals and guide diagnostic and management decisions.

19. PROs and PROMs
§ PROs and PROMs reflect any aspect of a personal report of the
individualâs health that comes directly from that person, unfiltered by
others.
§ Help healthcare providers to focus on a personâs individual health
goals and guide diagnostic and management decisions.
§PROMs (M=measure) can teach us whether, in their own
eyes, our patients are truly better after interventions, by
following the ethical principle of doing more good than harm
within the context of their own lives.

22. Variables to Consider
§Child variables
§ developmental age, temperament, state/trait anxiety, past
experiences/memories, culture
§Family/social variables
§ Family & social supports, caregiver/child relationships, stressors,
parental coping & anxiety, health of other family members
23. Variables to Consider
§Healthcare variables
§ # of invasive procedures, LOS, changes in mobility
§Environmental variables
§ What role do we play in their experience?
24. Why?
â They looked into my mouth and into my ears, they looked
into my eyes and they touched my tummy. But they never
looked at me.â
7 year old hospitalized patient (ACCH, 1990, p.19)

31. The F-Words and the ICF
§The âF-words for Child Developmentâ were created to
bring the WHOâs ICF framework for health to life.
§The âf-wordsâ we chose were meant simply to remind
people about aspects of childrenâs and young peopleâs
lives that are important to them.
§The next slide illustrates this integration.

Fitness
Everyone needs to stay fit and healthy, including
me! Help me find ways to keep fit.
Function
I might do things differently but I CAN do them.
How I do it is not important. Please let me try!
Friends
Having childhood friends is important. Please give
me opportunities to make friends with my peers.
Family
They know me best and I trust them to do whatâs best for
me. Listen to them. Talk to them. Hear them. Respect them.
Fun
Childhood is about having fun and play. This is how I learn
and grow. Please help me do the activities that I find the
most fun.
