What feelings may need to be acknowledged before a parent can weigh the options?
Participants describe the emotional appraisals that can shape a parent's ability to weigh choices in mental healthcare.
Who was studied?
Parents and healthcare professionals contributing interviews and focus groups about treatment decisions.
Age / stage: Children and young people in mental health care
Read with three questions
- How did the analysis compare accounts from parents and professionals?
- How did the researchers move from individual accounts to their interpretation?
- Where in the decision process could the child, the parent and the clinician express different priorities?
Keep the limits in view
The accounts document experiences in the circumstances studied. They cannot establish how common an experience is in the wider population or measure an intervention effect.
