RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Interventions to address poverty and food insecurity in pediatric hospital care have been scarce. Access to government support is based on the completion of taxes. Medical-financial partnerships are defined as novel cross-sector collaborations in which health care systems and financial service organizations work collaboratively to improve health by reducing financial stress. The objective of our pilot study was to assess the feasibility of implementing a "free tax service" within a pediatric academic hospital setting. METHODS: A pilot randomized controlled trial "TAX4U" was conducted from November 2020 until April 2021 in the general inpatient setting of an academic pediatric hospital. Eligible families were randomly assigned to receive either "free tax services" according to the Canada Revenue Agency-funded Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) or "care as usual." RESULTS: A total of 140 caregivers filled in the 8-question recruitment survey. We found that 101 (72%) families were not eligible to participate in the study. Reasons for ineligibility were not meeting CVITP criteria (n = 59, 58%), already filed tax (n = 25, 25%), and families did not sign the consent form (n = 17, 17%). Thirty-nine families were randomly assigned, with 20 (51.3%) families assigned to the intervention and 19 (48.7%) families receiving care as usual. Ultimately, 7 (35%) families received the tax intervention. CONCLUSIONS: Offering free tax services may be feasible and reached vulnerable families in a pediatric hospital setting; however, the inclusion criteria of the CVITP program did not meet the needs of caregivers. Further research should explore offering a full-scope medical-financial partnership that meets the needs of low-income families in a hospital setting.

RESUMEN

This qualitative study explored the experiences of social workers, nurses, and physicians providing end-of-life care to children in a pediatric acute-care hospital setting. Findings demonstrated that participants experienced both professional and personal impacts of their work and employed various coping strategies under each of these domains. The acute-care setting was found to create unique challenges in providing end-of-life care. Implications for policy and practice include promotion of both individual and institutional-level coping strategies and supports that meet the various needs of staff. Implications for future research include a nuanced examination of differences in experiences among nurses, social workers, and physicians.

RESUMEN

Pediatric social workers working in acute care hospital settings may care for children and their families in end-of-life circumstances. This qualitative study is part of a larger study focusing on the experiences of health care providers working with dying children. This study consisted of 9 semi-structured interviews of acute care pediatric social workers who work with dying children and their families. Themes included the role of social work with dying children, the impact of their work and coping strategies. Authors suggest a hospital-worker partnership in supporting staff and promotion of supportive resources.

RESUMEN

This study explored impacts of an online support network for fathers of a child with a brain tumor. Evaluation comprised pre/post-intervention questionnaires, content analysis of online network postings, and post-intervention qualitative interviews. Findings suggest that this intervention was beneficial to fathers. Positive effects on paternal coping were demonstrated, as were opportunities to grapple with difficult issues related to having a child with a brain tumor. Fathers recommended a combined resource of online and face-to-support, including the development of a support network with a larger participant base. Implications for practice are examined.
