Overview

Cross-sectional survey reveals low awareness and minimal confidence managing pediatric post-intensive care syndrome among primary care providers, highlighting the need for targeted educational tools.

Key Points

To characterize primary care providers' awareness, resource access, clinical barriers, and educational preferences regarding post-intensive care syndrome in pediatrics (PICS-p).
Conducted an anonymous, 18-item cross-sectional survey distributed via an affiliated community listserv between October and December 2023.
Surveyed university-affiliated primary care physicians and advanced practice providers (N=194 invited; N=30 responded, 16% response rate).
Only 27% (n=8) of respondents reported awareness of PICS-p, with 70% (n=21) reporting no confidence and 30% (n=9) reporting some confidence in managing related care needs.
Major reported barriers included a lack of PICS-p-related clinical guidelines (83%, n=25), inadequate resources or referral options (63%, n=19), and limited communication with intensive care experts (63%, n=19).
Preferred formats for targeted educational delivery were e-mail updates (63%, n=19) and webinars (53%, n=16).
