Overview

Literature review reveals divergent views on the extent of pediatric healthcare participation, highlighting parental barriers and the need for child empowerment.

Key Points

  • To review the literature on child and healthcare professional attitudes toward children's participation in healthcare and examine disparities between these perspectives.
  • Conducted a critical literature review using electronic database searching paired with snowballing techniques to gather relevant studies.
  • Healthcare professionals and children broadly support child participation in care, but they hold divergent views regarding the acceptable degree of autonomy.
  • Child participation remains transitory and heavily moderated by parental roles and adult assumptions that children lack capacity to act in their own best interests.
