Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a single-group, pre-post study enrolling about 80 parents of children who require respiratory support. Nurses will deliver integrated home-based symptom-management support, and researchers will measure changes in parental self-efficacy and collect feedback on implementation. Data will be gathered through self-administered questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, with descriptive statistics and generalized estimating equations used for analysis, and thematic analysis for qualitative data. The aim is to identify factors that facilitate or deter implementation of the home-service model. The study is conducted in Hong Kong through The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Nursing.
