Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods and design The overall approach is a two-year longitudinal prospective Realist Evaluation using a mixed-methods design.
The quantitative strand, using routine data and questionnaires, will examine whether data from children, parents/legal guardians and healthcare professionals involved in a pilot project for paediatric transmural care comply with the quintuple aim outcomes.
The qualitative strand will be used (1) to evaluate the structure of the interventions, (2) for process evaluation and context analysis, and (3) to gather more in-depth information. This includes document analysis (including logbooks), focus groups with children, parents/legal guardians and healthcare professionals, and non-participatory observations.
Ethical Informed consent is required prior to inclusion in the evaluation study. Informed assent is requested from children older than 12 years. For this study, advice is asked from the Research Ethics Committee of Ghent University Hospital
