Brief Summary
The objective of the proposed research is to develop and pilot a locally-relevant, multicomponent intervention to streamline the triage process (e.g. patient assessment, stabilization, and disposition) for pediatric injury patients in Tanzania. This health systems intervention will work at the first level of medical contact (e.g., health center and district hospital), in order to facilitate timely disposition and referrals, and subsequently decrease time to definitive care. The proposed study has three aims: 1) With a mixed methods approach, describe the barriers to pediatric injury care at the first medical contact; 2) Iteratively develop the P-KIDs CARE intervention using a nominal group technique and conduct a pre-implementation assessment and refinement; 3) Pilot the P-KIDs CARE intervention and perform an implementation-focused formative evaluation. The proposed study focuses on pediatric injury patients and the family members and healthcare providers that care for them in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. The investigators will recruit pediatric injury patients, family members, and healthcare providers from 2 health facilities in the Kilimanjaro Region.
