This study aims to explore paediatric health services users’ perceptions of quality of care (QOC) and COVID-19-related fears, and their evolution over time in relation to COVID-19 pandemic.Methods In a multicentre cross-sectional study involving 11 public hospitals providing paediatric care across the Italian territory, we collected data from services users through a validated questionnaire. We analysed four indicators—(1) QOC perceived in relation to COVID-19; (2) overall QOC perceived; (3) fear of accessing health services due to COVID-19; (4) fear of contracting COVID-19 in hospital—and calculated Spearman’s correlation indexes (ρ) with the number of COVID-19 new cases over time. Subgroup analyses were conducted by macroregions and single facility.Results Data from 956 services users were analysed. QOC indicators were stable over time at values close to the maximum (range 77–100 and median 100 for COVID-19 QOC, range 74–98 and median 80 for overall QOC), and no correlations were found with the COVID-19 new cases (ρ=−0.073 and −0.016, respectively). Fear of accessing care and fear of contracting the infection varied over time in between 0%–52% and 0%–53%, respectively, but did not correlate directly with number of COVID-19 new cases (ρ=0.101, 0.107 and 0.233, 0.046, respectively). At subgroup analyses, significantly higher frequencies of fear (p values <0.05) and lower QOC (p values <0.001) were reported in South Italy, and three facilities showed moderate correlation between these indicators.Conclusions COVID-19-related fears and perceived QOC may be mediated by more complex cultural and facility/regional-level factors, than simply by epidemic peaks.

id="p-2"><strong>Background</strong> The COVID-19 pandemic had an important psychological impact on children and their families. This study aims to explore paediatric health services users’ perceptions of quality of care (QOC) and COVID-19-related fears, and their evolution over time in relation to COVID-19 pandemic.</p></div><div id="sec-2" class="subsection"><p id="p-3"><strong>Methods</strong> In a multicentre cross-sectional study involving 11 public hospitals providing paediatric care across the Italian territory, we collected data from services users through a validated questionnaire. We analysed four indicators—(1) QOC perceived in relation to COVID-19; (2) overall QOC perceived; (3) fear of accessing health services due to COVID-19; (4) fear of contracting COVID-19 in hospital—and calculated Spearman’s correlation indexes (ρ) with the number of COVID-19 new cases over time. Subgroup analyses were conducted by macroregions and single facility.</p></div><div id="sec-3" class="subsection"><p id="p-4"><strong>Results</strong> Data from 956 services users were analysed. QOC indicators were stable over time at values close to the maximum (range 77–100 and median 100 for COVID-19 QOC, range 74–98 and median 80 for overall QOC), and no correlations were found with the COVID-19 new cases (ρ=−0.073 and −0.016, respectively). Fear of accessing care and fear of contracting the infection varied over time in between 0%–52% and 0%–53%, respectively, but did not correlate directly with number of COVID-19 new cases (ρ=0.101, 0.107 and 0.233, 0.046, respectively). At subgroup analyses, significantly higher frequencies of fear (p values <0.05) and lower QOC (p values <0.001) were reported in South Italy, and three facilities showed moderate correlation between these indicators.</p></div><div id="sec-4" class="subsection"><p id="p-5"><strong>Conclusions</strong> COVID-19-related fears and perceived QOC may be mediated by more complex cultural and facility/regional-level factors, than simply by epidemic peaks.

A study conducted in UK reported that one out of three presentations in Paediatric Emergency Departments (PED) had a delay in accessing care.<a id="xref-ref-2-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-2">2</a> Another study in Italy highlighted that, during the pandemic, children with infectious diseases had a significant delay in accessing care when compared with the prepandemic period.<a id="xref-ref-3-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-3">3</a> Other evidence suggested that reluctance in seeking adequate medical care severely affected patient outcomes,<a id="xref-ref-4-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-4">4</a> especially for patients with disabilities, chronic diseases and malignancies,<a id="xref-ref-5-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-5">5 6</a> as well as acute emergencies such as sepsis, diabetic ketoacidosis<a id="xref-ref-7-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-7">7</a> and appendicitis.<a id="xref-ref-8-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-8">8</a></p><p id="p-11">Previous studies showed that many different factors may explain fear in accessing health services and delay in seeking care during the COVID-19 pandemic, including doubts on the quality of care (QOC) provided at hospital level, and fear of contracting the infection.<a id="xref-ref-4-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-4">4</a> In previous reports, many different individual-level factors, such as young parental age,<a id="xref-ref-9-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-9">9</a> having a child with chronic illnesses,<a id="xref-ref-9-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-9">9</a> as well as psychological traits, such as the perception of loneliness and death obsession<a id="xref-ref-10-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-10">10</a> were found to be related to a higher level of fear/hesitancy in accessing health services.</p><p id="p-12">However, there is little evidence of the possible links between the evolution over time of the COVID-19 pandemic, in terms of new positive cases, and the fears perceived by paediatric health service users, as well as the perceived QOC. A better understanding of parents’ perspectives may be useful beyond the pandemic for paediatricians and healthcare providers in order to improve quality of service.</p><p id="p-13">This study aimed to investigate the correlation over time between the pandemic trends (in terms of COVID-19 new positive cases) and the QOC perceived by paediatric health service users, and their COVID-19-related fears, across 11 hospitals in Italy distributed across the whole national territory. We also conducted a subgroup analysis by macroregions in Italy (north and centre/south), to assess whether findings changed by geographical distribution.

In the Paediatric Emergency setting there were no periods of service discontinuation in all the hospitals of the network. The centralised platform allowed for data entry directly from respondents or by research staff entering data from paper-based questionnaires into REDCap. REDCap is a software that registers only completed (full) responses. Data not provided through the online platform were excluded, due to the impossibility of accurately determining the day on which the questionnaire was filled.</p></div><div id="sec-13" class="subsection"><h3>Study variables and data analysis</h3><p id="p-20">Due to the descriptive primary aim of this study, the sample size was set as the maximum possible number of parents who could be reached during the data collection period for each facility involved in the project.</p><p id="p-21">Data cleaning procedures were predefined and included removing cases with missing information on key variables (ie, facility site, date of compilation) or on more than 90% of close-ended questions under analysis, including sociodemographic variables.

Data on the COVID-19 epidemiological situation in the whole country and in each individual regions under analysis were downloaded from the Italian Civil Protection’s COVID-19 emergency database, which is freely available online.<a id="xref-ref-14-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-14">14</a> Daily data for new COVID-19 positive cases in the time range in which the questionnaires were administered (30 April 2021–22 March 2022) were extracted. For increasing data accuracy, the results over time were graphically rendered by considering both daily values and moving averages with a span of 7 adjacent days (the average of the values of the day in question, the previous 3 days and the next 3 days). The latter technique provides smoother curves and avoids isolated spikes due to extreme values. In cases where there was more than one questionnaire completed on the same day, the average value was calculated and considered in the analyses. The correlation between the indicators and COVID-19 new positive cases, both at national and regional levels, was studied by considering Spearman’s rank correlation index.</p><p id="p-29">In addition, to assess whether findings changed by geographical distribution, we conducted a subgroup analysis by macroregions.

It clearly showed that, when all responders were pooled together, QOC was perceived as good, while still a large proportion of service users had COVID-19-related fears, and all these indicators lacked a significant correlation with the COVID-19 peaks. However, when data were analysed by macroregions, major differences were observed, as well as some significant correlation with the COVID-19 epidemic curves. Overall, these data suggest that COVID-19-related fears and perceived QOC may be mediated by more complex cultural and facility/regional-level factors, than by simply the epidemic peaks. Conducting subgroup analysis by regions/single facility proved to be critical in unpacking major differences within the same country, which however may have multiple explanations.</p><p id="p-53">Study findings may be justified by multiple reasons. High perceived QOC could be due to health system-related factors such as a more robust healthcare network, trustworthy medical education, easy access to healthcare, financial aspects such as a higher average families’ income and different perception of community values. This is the first study to analyse the overall QOC perceived by paediatric health service users during the COVID-19 pandemic, so we lack a comparison with the prepandemic period findings. However, other studies related to childbirth highlighted the lack of correlation between satisfaction with care received and many other variables related to the process of care, suggesting that the outcome of cure (a healthy baby) may, at the end, be more relevant to parents than the process itself.<a id="xref-ref-13-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-13">13</a></p><p id="p-54">The variation in the frequency of perceived fear over time may be due to multiple factors, both at the individual level, at the facility level and in the general context. For example, in previous studies, higher levels of fear and anxiety were found to be associated with lower social class, unemployment<a id="xref-ref-16-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-16">16</a> and previous mental-health conditions.<a id="xref-ref-17-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-17">17</a> Furthermore, anxiety can similarly spread virally, with the mechanism of ‘emotion contagion’,<a id="xref-ref-18-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-18">18</a> with the use of social media being associated with higher anxiety,<a id="xref-ref-19-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-19">19</a> especially in more susceptible individuals. Notably, the COVID-19 period was characterised by multiple intercorrelated changes at once. The epidemic itself had multiple peak phases and low prevalence periods, which may have resulted in phases of strong physiological fatigue alternated by other periods of relative optimism. If from one side evidence strongly suggested worsening in mental-health indicators,<a id="xref-ref-20-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-20">20 21</a> high distress among health staff and high staff turnover<a id="xref-ref-22-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-22">22–25</a> and major difficulties in many work sectors affecting most of the population and in particular parents and female workers,<a id="xref-ref-24-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-24">24 25</a> there were also major reorganisations in the health system.<a id="xref-ref-26-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-26">26</a> The COVID-19 epidemic was an important opportunity to align with international protocols for risk management,<a id="xref-ref-24-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-24">24</a> reorganise care including improving effective leadership<a id="xref-ref-27-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-27">27</a> and adopting many new tools and digital technologies.<a id="xref-ref-28-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-28">28 29</a> Variations in COVID-19-related fears may therefore reflect a mixture of positive and negative factors happening at once, including some improvements in QOC, but also challenges in healthcare provision, overall resulting in a long period of instability, with either low or variable confidence towards the health systems, and with high variability in the subjective perceptions mediated both by contextual and individual aspects. Information on COVID-19 pandemic and the perception of the information received may also have played a key role in COVID-19-related fears.</p><p id="p-55">A geographical gradient in reported QOC has been observed in other studies,<a id="xref-ref-30-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-30">30–32</a> and it can be explained as the results of several historical, sociocultural and economical aspects.<a id="xref-ref-33-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-33">33 34</a> Historically, QOC is perceived as poorer in the South of Italy with people moving from south to north in the idea of obtaining better care.<a id="xref-ref-35-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-35">35</a> While this phenomenon is decreasing, the stereotype of South Italy providing poorer healthcare is still persisting. Differences in the availability of resources and in organisational aspects across different geographical regions<a id="xref-ref-35-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-35">35</a> may also have affected the observed differences at subgroup analyses. All the above cited factors may have occurred at different degrees of intensity in different regions/facilities, thus justifying differences found at subgroup analyses.</p><p id="p-56">We believe that the observed findings are of major relevance in terms of policies. As a matter of fact, the geographical gradient of fear, perception of reduced QOC and reduced access to health services is related to a well-documented reduced trust in National Health System (NHS) among population in the South of Italy. This is a well-described phenomenon in the country, documented by a consistent literature and decades of history of ‘sanitary migration’ by patients/families from the South of Italy to get care in the North of Italy, especially in the setting of rare diseases, complicated/severe illnesses.<a id="xref-ref-36-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-36">36</a> These phenomena imply increased cost both for the population and for the health system.</p><p id="p-57">The data of this study confirm the persistence of this effect, bringing new evidence related to the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which, per se, increases emotions and anxiety. Remarkably, some differences in quality of paediatric care between North and South of the country are still reported<a id="xref-ref-37-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-37">37</a>; however, heterogeneity in QOC has also been documented among health centres in the North of Italy.<a id="xref-ref-37-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-37">37–40</a></p><p id="p-58">According to these results, we suggest that policymakers should: (1) adopt policies to ensure that the quality of paediatric care is regularly monitored by key meaningful objective indicators; (2) use findings of the quality assessment to take actions to improve QOC, so that all children receive high-quality care independently from their geographical location; (3) adopt policies to inform the population, and increase trust in the NHS independently from the geographical location; and (4) monitor service user’s perspective on QOC. Notably, all these aspects will be important increasing preparedness to future possible pandemic.</p><p id="p-59">Among the strengths of this study there are the numerosity of the facilities involved across the national territory, and the standardised methods of data collection, using a validated questionnaire,<a id="xref-ref-13-4" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-13">13</a> allowing easy replication of data collection in other sites or in the future to monitor data in the postpandemic period.</p><p id="p-60">Among the study limitations, we acknowledge the simplification of a complex feeling like fear, necessary for pragmatical reason of data collection. In addition, this paper aimed at exploring fear in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and results are not generalisable in other time periods. Our study aimed at answering a specific exploratory research question, and not at investigating the vastitude of factors potentially affecting fears. Our questionnaire did not assess the different possible causes of fear and potentially related factors both at individual level (eg, knowledge, attitudes, personalities, socioeconomic status, previous COVID-19 infections, previous experience of quarantine, etc) and at the facility level (eg, existing resources and protocols, specific aspects of the QOC). However, it should be noted that a comprehensive assessment of all factors potentially related to fear may include a very long list of variables at different levels, including personality traits, sociodemographic factors, cultural factors and health system factors, in many instances difficult to quantify in an objective way due to the lack of standardised data collection tools or due to limited feasibility. For example, the assessment of personality trait was not done for practicality, since otherwise a much more burdensome data collection had to be implemented, seriously limiting acceptability for patients. In addition, we missed a comparison between the prepandemic and pandemic period. Moreover, we do not describe the impact of COVID-19 vaccines on the perceived QOC. Results are therefore explorative, and more research is needed to better elucidate the complex relationships in between epidemics, individual factors and health systems. At the same time, our study is adding new data, which can complement already existing literature on fear anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p id="p-61">The results of this study are not generalisable to different settings. Considering that the COVID-19 pandemic is not fully over, and other pandemics may also happen in the future, we suggest that this study may be considered just a starting point, to favour reflection on considering monitoring indicators related to access to care more often, if not on a regular basis, as suggested also by the sustainable developmental goal Target 3.8 (achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential healthcare services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all).<a id="xref-ref-41-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-41">41</a> Notably, COVID-19 fears have resulted in delayed access to care and worsened health outcomes,<a id="xref-ref-4-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-4">4</a> while monitoring this indicator, together with a better understanding of its causes, will increase preparedness for possible future pandemics.

This study aims to explore paediatric health services users’ perceptions of quality of care (QOC) and COVID-19-related fears, and their evolution over time in relation to COVID-19 pandemic.Methods In a multicentre cross-sectional study involving 11 public hospitals providing paediatric care across the Italian territory, we collected data from services users through a validated questionnaire. We analysed four indicators—(1) QOC perceived in relation to COVID-19; (2) overall QOC perceived; (3) fear of accessing health services due to COVID-19; (4) fear of contracting COVID-19 in hospital—and calculated Spearman’s correlation indexes (ρ) with the number of COVID-19 new cases over time. Subgroup analyses were conducted by macroregions and single facility.Results Data from 956 services users were analysed. QOC indicators were stable over time at values close to the maximum (range 77–100 and median 100 for COVID-19 QOC, range 74–98 and median 80 for overall QOC), and no correlations were found with the COVID-19 new cases (ρ=−0.073 and −0.016, respectively). Fear of accessing care and fear of contracting the infection varied over time in between 0%–52% and 0%–53%, respectively, but did not correlate directly with number of COVID-19 new cases (ρ=0.101, 0.107 and 0.233, 0.046, respectively). At subgroup analyses, significantly higher frequencies of fear (p values \u003c0.05) and lower QOC (p values \u003c0.001) were reported in South Italy, and three facilities showed moderate correlation between these indicators.Conclusions COVID-19-related fears and perceived QOC may be mediated by more complex cultural and facility/regional-level factors, than simply by epidemic peaks. Subgroup analyses can help unpack major differences within the same country.\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-11-21\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@type\":\"PublicationIssue\",\"issueNumber\":\"1\",\"pagination\":\"e002926\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@type\":\"PublicationVolume\",\"volumeNumber\":\"8\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@type\":\"Periodical\",\"name\":\"BMJ Paediatrics Open\"}}},\"url\":\"https://bmjpaedsopen.bmj.com/content/8/1/e002926\",\"description\":\"WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ON THIS TOPIC The COVID-19 pandemic had an important psychological burden on children and their families, especially in seeking care.\"}"])</script><script>self.__next_f.push([1,"1c:{\"id\":\"bmjpo\",\"title\":\"Lesson in understanding parents’ perspective: perception of quality of care and COVID-19-related fears among users of paediatric health services over the COVID-19 pandemic in 11 facilities in Italy\",\"licenseUrl\":\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/\",\"accessType\":\"open-access\",\"isOpenAccess\":\"true\",\"publicationDateTimestamp\":\"2024-11-21\",\"authorList\":\"Paolo Dalena, Alessandro Zago, Angela Troisi, Gian Luca Trobia, Annunziata Lucarelli, Silvia Bressan, Silvia Fasoli, Stefano Martelossi, Riccardo Lubrano, Roberta Parrino, Enrico Felici, Chiara Pilotto, Idanna Sforzi, Egidio Barbi, Marzia Lazzerini\",\"volume\":\"8\",\"issue\":\"1\",\"firstPage\":\"\",\"lastPage\":\"\"}\n1d:{\"title\":\"Lesson in understanding parents’ perspective: perception of quality of care and COVID-19-related fears among users of paediatric health services over the COVID-19 pandemic in 11 facilities in Italy\",\"authorDisplay\":\"Paolo Dalena, Alessandro Zago, Angela Troisi, Gian Luca Trobia, Annunziata Lucarelli, Silvia Bressan, Silvia Fasoli, Stefano Martelossi, Riccardo Lubrano, Roberta Parrino, Enrico Felici, Chiara Pilotto, Idanna Sforzi, Egidio Barbi, Marzia Lazzerini\",\"elocationId\":\"e002926\",\"journalName\":\"BMJ Paediatrics Open\",\"publicationYear\":\"2024\",\"volume\":\"8\"}\n1e:{\"title\":\"Lesson in understanding parents’ perspective: perception of quality of care and COVID-19-related fears among users of paediatric health services over the COVID-19 pandemic in 11 facilities in Italy\",\"articleUrl\":\"https://bmjpaedsopen.bmj.com/content/8/1/e002926\"}\n20:[[\"IRCCS Materno Infantile Burlo Garofolo, Trieste, Italy\",1],[\" University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy\",2],[\"University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy\",3],[\"Department of Pediatrics, Ospedale Santa Maria delle Croci, Ravenna, Italy\",4],[\"Pediatrics and Pediatric Emergency Room Unit, Cannizzaro Hospital, Catania, Italy\",5],[\"Pediatric Emergency Department, Policlinico di Bari Ospedale Giovanni XXIII, Bari, Italy\",6],[\"Department of Women’s and Children’s Health, Università degli Stud"])</script><script>self.__next_f.push([1,"i di Padova, Padova, Italy\",7],[\"Department of Pediatrics, Azienda Ospedaliera Carlo Poma, Mantova, Italy\",8],[\"Unit of Pediatrics, Ospedale Regionale Ca Foncello Treviso, Treviso, Italy\",9],[\"Department of Pediatrics, Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza, Latina, Italy\",10],[\"Department of Pediatrics, Ospedale dei Bambini Giovanni Di Cristina, Palermo, Italy\",11],[\"Pediatric and Pediatric Emergency Unit, Azienda Ospedaliera Nazionale Santi Antonio e Biagio e Cesare Arrigo Alessandria, Alessandria, Italy\",12],[\"Pediatric Clinic, Santa Maria della Misericordia University Hospital, Udine, Italy\",13],[\"Emergency Department and Trauma Center, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Ospedale Pediatrico Meyer, Firenze, Italy\",14],[\" Maternal Adolescent Reproductive and Child Health Care Centre, London School of Hygiene \u0026 Tropical Medicine, London, UK\",15]]\n25:T765,Among the study limitations, we acknowledge the simplification of a complex feeling like fear, necessary for pragmatical reason of data collection. In addition, this paper aimed at exploring fear in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and results are not generalisable in other time periods. Our study aimed at answering a specific exploratory research question, and not at investigating the vastitude of factors potentially affecting fears. Our questionnaire did not assess the different possible causes of fear and potentially related factors both at individual level (eg, knowledge, attitudes, personalities, socioeconomic status, previous COVID-19 infections, previous experience of quarantine, etc) and at the facility level (eg, existing resources and protocols, specific aspects of the QOC). However, it should be noted that a comprehensive assessment of all factors potentially related to fear may include a very long list of variables at different levels, including personality traits, sociodemographic factors, cultural factors and health system factors, in many instances difficult to quantify in an objective way due to the lack of standardised data collection t"])</script><script>self.__next_f.push([1,"ools or due to limited feasibility. For example, the assessment of personality trait was not done for practicality, since otherwise a much more burdensome data collection had to be implemented, seriously limiting acceptability for patients. In addition, we missed a comparison between the prepandemic and pandemic period. Moreover, we do not describe the impact of COVID-19 vaccines on the perceived QOC. Results are therefore explorative, and more research is needed to better elucidate the complex relationships in between epidemics, individual factors and health systems. At the same time, our study is adding new data, which can complement already existing literature on fear anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic.27:Tf66,"])</script><script>self.__next_f.push([1,"\u003chtml\u003e\u003chead\u003e\u003c/head\u003e\u003cbody\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"section fn-group\" id=\"fn-group-1\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli class=\"fn-other\" id=\"fn-3\"\u003e\u003cp id=\"p-64\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fn-label font-bold\"\u003eCollaborators:\u003c/span\u003e Alessandria: Marta Gagliardi, Kevin Valentino, Chiara Grisaffi, Enrico Felici; Bari: Fabio Cardinale, Annunziata Lucarelli, Lucia Grazia Tricarico, Mariateresa De Sario, Alessandra Pisani; Catania: Maria Carla Finocchiaro, Laura Portale, Marta Arrabito, Gian Luca Trobia, Francesca Patanè, Vita Antonella Di Stefano; Firenze: Stefano Masi, Marco Greco, Emiliano Talanti, Andrea Iuorio, Anna Madera, Paola Stillo, Rosa Santangelo, Nicolò Chiti, Idanna Sforzi; Latina: Riccardo Lubrano, Vanessa Martucci, Mariateresa Sanseviero, Silvia Bloise, Alessia Marcellino; Mantova: Silvia Fasoli, Silvia Sordelli, Maria Luisa Casciana, Mariangela Labruzzo; Padova: Silvia Bressan, Silvia Galiazzo, Francesca Tirelli; Palermo: Massimo Lo Verde, Domenico Cipolla, Sarah Contorno, Roberta Parrino, Giuseppina De Rosa; Ravenna: Sara Dal Bo, Angela Troisi, Federico Marchetti, Alessandra Iacono, Vanna Graziani, Carlotta Farneti, Francesco Oppido, Giulia Sansovini; Treviso: Stefano Martelossi, Chiara Stefani, Marcella Massarotto, Paola Crotti, Giada Sartor, Benedetta Ferro, Riccardo Pavanello, Marta Minute, Paola Moras; Trieste: Marzia Lazzerini, Egidio Barbi, Paolo Dalena, Ilaria Mariani, Elia Balestra, Benmario Castaldo, Marta Magnolato, Michele Maiola, Giorgio Cozzi, Alessandro Amaddeo, Alice Del Colle, Massimo Dagnelut, Alessandro Zago; Udine: Ilaria Liguoro, Maristella Toniutti, Michela Pandullo, Sara Rivellini, Chiara Pilotto, Paola Cogo.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"fn-other\" id=\"fn-4\"\u003e\u003cp id=\"p-65\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fn-label font-bold\"\u003eContributors:\u003c/span\u003e Conception of the CHOICE study: ML.

impact on children and their families. This study aims to explore paediatric health services users’ perceptions of quality of care (QOC) and COVID-19-related fears, and their evolution over time in relation to COVID-19 pandemic.Methods In a multicentre cross-sectional study involving 11 public hospitals providing paediatric care across the Italian territory, we collected data from services users through a validated questionnaire. We analysed four indicators—(1) QOC perceived in relation to COVID-19; (2) overall QOC perceived; (3) fear of accessing health services due to COVID-19; (4) fear of contracting COVID-19 in hospital—and calculated Spearman’s correlation indexes (ρ) with the number of COVID-19 new cases over time. Subgroup analyses were conducted by macroregions and single facility.Results Data from 956 services users were analysed. QOC indicators were stable over time at values close to the maximum (range 77–100 and median 100 for COVID-19 QOC, range 74–98 and median 80 for overall QOC), and no correlations were found with the COVID-19 new cases (ρ=−0.073 and −0.016, respectively). Fear of accessing care and fear of contracting the infection varied over time in between 0%–52% and 0%–53%, respectively, but did not correlate directly with number of COVID-19 new cases (ρ=0.101, 0.107 and 0.233, 0.046, respectively). At subgroup analyses, significantly higher frequencies of fear (p values \u003c0.05) and lower QOC (p values \u003c0.001) were reported in South Italy, and three facilities showed moderate correlation between these indicators.Conclusions COVID-19-related fears and perceived QOC may be mediated by more complex cultural and facility/regional-level factors, than simply by epidemic peaks.
