TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a series of 6 case studies aimed to illustrate the interdisciplinary support available to pediatric urology patients in 1 tertiary care center, including a patient learning clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), a patient resistant to surgical intervention, patients with bowel and bladder dysfunction, a patient undergoing voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), and a patient with urinary frequency, all of whom presented with a range of psychosocial needs that impacted their urological treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated how families learned to implement and manage their child's intermittent catheterization (CIC) needs by interviewing caregivers, adolescents, and young adults about their experiences.

TL;DR: In this article , a cross-sectional study surveyed EMS workers across Pennsylvania on demographic variables, frequency of overdose calls, attitudes towards opioid use and naloxone administration on measures of mental health.

TL;DR: Bauer et al. as mentioned in this paper explored families' lived experiences when beginning clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) and to determine what optimized or hindered this process, finding that caregivers believed that learning and implementing CIC was easier when: (1) the child was young & a male, (2) information about CIC as a possibility was provided well in advance of formal teaching, (3) there was an adjustment period before starting, all potential caregivers were present at teaching sessions, (4) the healthcare team offered guidance to balance employment obligations with CIC requirements, and (5) the team was sensitive, engaged, & accessible during its initiation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined end-user opinions on electronic health record modifications related to social work documentation of psychosocial acuity and provision of social care, and found that the majority of the opinions were negative.
