METHOD A qualitative inductive approach allowed caregiver experience to emerge from ten randomised caregiver interviews. Children were under 15 years of age and who had their first admission to hospital with a medical condition. FINDINGS Emergent themes were: 1) Health Literacy and Communication; 2) Day of discharge issues; 3) Anxiety; 4) Discharge planning and 5) Accessing health care in their community. Themes discussed are Health Literacy and Communication, Day of Discharge Issues and Discharge Planning. CONCLUSION Health Literacy and Communication is a major barrier to effective communication. Recommendations: to improve utilisation of the Maori Health Unit and Pacific Health Navigator service; review the discharge planning process; verbal explanation of the discharge summary to caregivers at the time of discharge; develop a patient-directed discharge letter for caregivers written in plain English.","abstract_html":"This thesis evaluates paediatric caregiver experience and understanding of discharge advice as improved caregiver understanding may reduce representations to hospital, improve health literacy, and improve long term health outcomes.
