Pediatric epidemic crisis: Lessons for policy and practice development	2008-12-31		.txt	text/plain	5026	283	44	Methods Qualitative interviews were conducted with 23 participants representing key stakeholder groups: (a) pediatric patients with probable or suspected SARS, (b) their parents, and (c) health care professionals providing direct care to SARS patients. Semi-structured, qualitative interviews were conducted with 23 participants from key stakeholder groups affected by pediatric SARS as follows: pediatric patients between the ages of 5 and 17 years (n = 5), their parents (n = 10), and frontline pediatric health care providers (n = 8). The majority of health care providers (88%) recognized the importance of their work, yet grappled with concerns related to personal vulnerability and the impact of SARS policies on patients and families. Accordingly findings speak clearly to the need for: systematic and well-orchestrated information flow; communication strategies in responding and disseminating relevant information; means to ease vulnerability among stakeholders; strategies for ensuring effective and responsive leadership; and the development of practice and policy guidelines for treatment and contingency planning for an unknown patient care path.	./cache/cord-286006-t5gj0k54.txt	./txt/cord-286006-t5gj0k54.txt
