Thirteen parents participated in semi-structured interviews analyzed for key themes. Three interactive categories emerged: (1) a cyclical process of symptom management from initial concern to restoration of health, (2) provider interactions influencing each stage through communication and interventions, and (3) family context factors such as social support and logistics. Findings highlight the importance of understanding parental views to improve patient-centered outcomes in pediatric emergency care. 000002777 540__ $$fCC BY 000002777 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002777 650__ $$aNursing$$023082 000002777 650__ $$aPalliative Care$$023495 000002777 650__ $$aQualitative Research$$034737 000002777 650__ $$aChild$$016462 000002777 650__ $$aSocial Support$$026119 000002777 650__ $$aEmergency Medical Services$$018348 000002777 650__ $$aChild, Preschool$$016489 000002777 650__ $$aParents$$023608 000002777 650__ $$aEmergency Service, Hospital$$018352 000002777 650__ $$aOutcome Assessment, Health Care$$029660 000002777 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000002777 7001_ $$aMitchell, Donald$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002777 7201_ $$aHouck, Gail$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000002777 8564_ $$943656365-429a-4e56-a747-116191bcddc3$$s871634$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2777/files/3545_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2985490fa767d35f223f0da6b05a1ac78$$31 000002777 905__ $$a/rest/prod/80/49/g5/25/8049g5257 000002777 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2777$$pstudent-work 000002777 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
