The problem
Intervention: Various approaches to promote child participation including equidistant seating arrangements, child-directed gaze, appropriate physician tone, social talk, eHealth tools, and consultation education
Who it was tested with: Children of various ages attending medical consultations with parents and healthcare professionals.
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.
"We aimed to summarize, in a scoping review, the evidence on child participation in triadic encounters and its promotive interventions... Of 1678 retrieved records, 39 papers were included: 22 quantitative, 14 qualitative and 3 mixed-methods studies." This scoping review design systematically examined existing evidence on interventions to promote child participation, finding that despite multiple facilitative efforts documented in the literature, child participation has not increased over time.
The review synthesizes existing literature without assessing methodological quality of included studies. It does not provide mechanistic explanation for why interventions have failed to increase participation over 50 years or compare effectiveness of different intervention approaches.
