Healthcare providers and parents report that children with developmental disabilities exhibit problematic behaviors and struggle to cooperate with healthcare encounters (Bultas, McMillin, & Zand, 2016). Adaptive care plans are individualized patient-centered plans created to minimize the harmful effects of hospital experiences, and address the challenges that children with developmental disabilities experience during healthcare encounters (Liddle, Birkett, Bonjour, & Risma, 2018). The current study evaluated if adaptive care plans can positively affect the psychosocial outcomes among children with developmental disabilities, and greater parent and medical personnel satisfaction with the healthcare visit, compared to children with developmental disabilities who do not have adaptive care plans. One-hundred and sixty children between 3 and 18 years of age with developmental disabilities and their parents (child’s Mage = 8.10, SD = 3.75) were enrolled from outpatient clinics at a pediatric medical center. Results revealed that children with adaptive care plans did not experience less psychosocial distress, and parents as well as medical staff did not perceive adaptive care plans to improve the effectiveness of healthcare encounters. Future research is needed to understand if adaptive care plans reduce psychosocial distress during and after medical procedures, and if children who have specific types of developmental disabilities experience benefit from these plans. 2020-06-04 English text Xavier University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1564751331604259 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1564751331604259 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
