Sheila Madden and Sara Bellanca Karman
About this episode

In this enlightening episode of "Pushing Pediatrics," hosts Sheila and Sara delve into a wide range of crucial topics that form the bedrock of evidence-based pediatric healthcare. Join them as they explore the intricacies of evidence-based decision making, the PICO format, the 6S pyramid, the GRADE system, the ICF model, the bioecological framework of child development, the ecobiodevelopmental framework (EBD), social determinants of health, health equity and disparities, family-centered care, trauma-informed care, cultural competency, and the Knowledge to Action (KTA) cycle. By tuning in to this episode, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to approach questions and dissect them effectively. Sheila and Sara provide invaluable insights into the importance of research evidence, child and family preferences, home and community factors, and practice knowledge in making informed decisions. They guide you through the process of formulating clinical questions using the PICO format, ensuring that you can gather knowledge efficiently. The hosts also shed light on the 6S pyramid, which categorizes evidence based on its level of synthesis, and the GRADE system, which helps assess the quality of evidence in systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines. With their guidance, you will learn how to navigate through the vast landscape of evidence and identify the most reliable sources. Furthermore, Sheila and Sara introduce the ICF model, which takes a holistic approach to pediatric healthcare by considering the interplay between functioning and disability, as well as contextual factors. They illustrate how this model can be applied in a specific example, to provide comprehensive care that addresses the unique needs of each child. The hosts also emphasize the significance of social determinants of health, health equity, and disparities in pediatric healthcare. They discuss the importance of family-centered care, trauma-informed care, and cultural competency in promoting inclusive and effective healthcare practices. By exploring these topics, you will gain a deeper understanding of the factors that influence health outcomes and learn how to provide equitable care to diverse populations. To further enhance your knowledge, Sheila and Sara introduce the Knowledge to Action (KTA) cycle, a framework that facilitates the translation of research findings into practical action. They outline the steps involved in this cycle and provide a real-life example of how it can be applied to implement a new treatment method. By the end of this episode, you will have a solid foundation in evidence-based decision making and a comprehensive understanding of the various frameworks and models that underpin pediatric healthcare. Join Sheila and Sara as they equip you with the tools and knowledge necessary to dissect questions and arrive at the correct answers, ensuring that you can provide the best possible care to your young patients.
