The problem
Intervention: Implementation of age-appropriate communication, responsive clinical behaviours, and adaptations by emergency medical services clinicians to facilitate child participation in ambulance care
Who it was tested with: 12 children aged 0-14 who received ambulance care in Sweden, assessed through parental interviews.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"A qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews with 12 parents (nine mothers and three fathers) of 12 children (aged 0–14) who received ambulance care in Sweden was conducted. A deductive content analysis was performed, guided by Shier's five-level participation model." This practitioner-level evidence describes observed clinician behaviours and their effects on child participation based on parents' accounts, without comparison or control groups.
Study relies on parental perception rather than direct observation or children's own experiences; small sample size; single country context; no quantitative measurement of participation outcomes
