Managing the anxiety of the parents of pediatric patients with head trauma is challenging. This study aimed to examine the factors that affect anxiety levels of parents whose children were admitted to the emergency department with minor head trauma. In this prospective study, the parents of 663 consecutive pediatric patients were invited to answer a questionnaire. Parents of 600 children participated in the study. The parents who believed they were provided sufficient information and who were satisfied with the service received had significantly more improvement in anxiety-related questions. Cranial X-ray assessment had a significantly positive impact on the anxiety of the parents, whereas cranial computed tomography and neurosurgery consultation did not. In assessing pediatric minor head trauma, cranial computed tomography imaging and neurosurgery consultation should not be expected to relieve the anxiety of the parents. However, adequately informing them and providing satisfaction are the factors that could lead to improvement.

AbstractComputed tomography (CT) imaging plays an important role in the acute evaluation and management of children with head trauma. When routine quality improvement (QI) meetings with representatives from the Children’s Hospital radiology and emergency departments revealed disagreement regarding the utilization and appropriateness of CT in children presenting with head trauma, an interdepartmental QI team was formed to address this issue. Because formal criteria for obtaining CTs for head trauma were unavailable, internal institutional criteria were developed by consensus after literature review. Contrary to perceptions of some staff members, the majority (95%) of children who received CT met at least one of the established criteria over a one-year study period. There was little relationship between the presence of criteria and abnormal CT results, but decisions whether to admit patients to the hospital or to send them home were influenced by CT results. Follow-up studies suggested that patients who were discharged home with a normal CT or no CT had uniformly good outcomes.
