New Study Looking for Participants
Measuring the Quality of Children’s End-of-Life Care
Investigators: Kimberley Widger (PhD Candidate)
Dr. Ann Tourangeau (PhD Candidate Supervisor)
Are you the parent of a child who died at home after a life-limiting illness?
We are looking for parents to take part in a study about the quality of care provided to dying children and their families. We are doing this research because we believe it is important to provide the highest quality of care possible to dying children and their families. We want to hear from parents both what is going well and what needs to be changed.
If your child (aged 19 years and under) died in a hospital at least one year ago, after an admission of at least 24 hours you can take part OR if your child died at home at least one year ago after a life-limiting illness you can take part. For this study you will be asked to attend a focus group with other parents held in the Toronto or Hamilton area to talk about your experiences and what you feel is important to providing the highest quality care. The focus groups will last about 2 hours. The focus groups will be held in English.
For more information, or if you are interested in taking part in this study please contact Kimberley Widger at 416-978-2859 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). Please leave your name and phone number so we can contact you to talk more about the study.
