Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care to High-Risk InfantsFamilial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care to High-Risk Infants
![Page 2: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Objectives
• Review of consequences to family of providing long-term care for high-risk infants
• Review recurring themes
– Effects on women
– Strategies to ameliorate these effects
• Impact on Parental Counseling
![Page 3: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Review
• Widespread use of surfactant, prenatal steroids and new modes of PPV has led to increased survival at the edge of viability– 1980-1990 mean survival ≤ 26 wk gestation
increased 2% year• Increased intervention for congenital anomalies or
other potentially fatal conditions– Fetal surgeries, EXIT procedures
Background
![Page 4: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Review
• Therefore, greater numbers of infants with morbidity– Technology-dependent infants pose greatest
caregiving burden• Major shift of location of care from medical facilities to
homes• Increased demands on caregivers’ time and finances
Background
![Page 5: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Review
• Committee on Fetus and Newborn: Discharge of the High-Risk Neonate– Includes preterm and tech-dependent infants– Recognizes these families at risk for familial stress &
dysfunction and illness in primary caregiver– Physicians to anticipate and plan for these burdens
and coordinate care with ancillary staff– Guidance not provided
AAP Statement
![Page 6: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Review
• Assistance for these families needs to be evidence-based
• No systematic review of the literature looking at the full impact of providing long term care for high-risk neonates
Evidence Needed
![Page 7: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Review
• Review of the literature (PubMed, ERIC) on the effects of long term care on the families– Goal was ELBW infants or tech dependent – very
few found– Expanded to studies of families of former NICU
graduates
Methods
![Page 8: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Review
• Limited to Jan. 1993 – Dec. 2009– Represents “modern” era
• Steroids, surfactant, new PPV techniques• Limited to North America
– To avoid social support variability• Excluded articles limited to 1st year of life
Search Limits
![Page 9: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Review
• Developed by George Engel– Holistic approach to patient care
• Examined interplay among the biological, psychological, and social aspects of disease
• We used the domains of this model to organize our findings
Biopsychosocial Model
![Page 10: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Review
• Nearly uniformly negative• Time demands likely cause of poor health maintenance• Stress plays a direct part – but can’t explain everything
– Telomere shortening w/time providing LTC– Mothers of VLBW have decreased lymphocyte
proliferation• Independent of anxiety
• Access to health care may inflate reporting
Summary - Physical
![Page 11: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Review
• Higher rates of depression, anxiety and PTSD symptoms– May improve with time
• Some evidence of personal growth• Siblings impacted as well
– Siblings stressed, depressed; describe home as “tense”
Summary - Psychological
![Page 12: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Review
• Results mixed• Familial/marital strain increased, family life disrupted
– Some couples reported stronger relationships– No increase in divorce rate
• Sibling resentment
Summary - Family Function
![Page 13: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Review
• Consistently negative impact• Higher rates of unemployment, underemployment and
lower incomes– Women > men
• Negative effect on sibling schooling
Summary - Income, Education
![Page 14: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Review
• Despite unique and important rewards, there is a serious downside to parenting high-risk neonates
• All three biopsychosocial domains are affected• The sickest, most time-demanding children, and the
families with the least support are most at risk
Discussion
![Page 15: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Themes
• Women nearly always primary caregiver– Bore disproportionate burden– As caregiver they are primary contact with medical
team– Provides opportunity for medical team to intervene on
caregiver’s behalf
Impact on Women
![Page 16: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Themes
• Support services had positive impact across all three biopsychosocial domains– AAP: “Social support is essential for success of
parent’s adaptation”– Pediatricians encouraged to “address parents’ need
for support services”• Should assess for signs/symptoms of dysfunction
– Role of the social worker is paramount
Support Services
![Page 17: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Themes
• Programs aimed at reducing parenting stress are effective– Shown in all three biopsychosocial domains
• Teaching hospitals and tertiary-care facilities should make efforts to provide services for these families– Pediatricians and SW need to be aware of them
Interventions
![Page 18: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Limitations
• Few studies focuses on infants at the edge of viability or severe neurodevelopmental disability– Likely to see far greater negative impact amongst this
group– Eventual outcome more difficult to predict
Severity of Illness
![Page 19: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Limitations
• Large number descriptive, no control• Very little focus on siblings
– People whose greatest portion of their life will be impacted
Design
![Page 20: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Impact on Parental Counseling
• Strict Interpretation: only effects on infant considered– Can result in severe, far-reaching negative effects on
the family• Familial effects important inasmuch as they affect infant
– Siblings interests still at risk• Familial effects as external constraint
Best Interests
![Page 21: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Impact on Parental Counseling
• If one assumes that decision makers do not strictly adhere to the “best interests” standard– Need this information to make informed, autonomous
choices as part of any non-resuscitation or withdrawal of care discussion
Are Parents following the Best Interests Standard?
![Page 22: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Impact on Parental Counseling
• Participation in social support mechanisms should be encouraged– Should begin while infant still in-house
• Advocate for intervention programs to reduce stress on families
• Early identification of biopsychosocial dysfunction– PCP frontline in referral and assessment of efficacy
Anticipatory Guidance
![Page 23: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Questions?

Physical Health
• Elissa S. Epel et al.– Measured telomere lengths of mothers of chronically
ill children– Duration of caregiving inversely related to length of
telomere, telomerase activity, directly related to oxidative damage
![Page 26: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Physical Health

![Page 28: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Psychological Health
• Michael Hynan et al.– Mothers of neonates requiring NICU care
• More PTSD symptoms vs control• No effect on cognition• Infant birth weight had strongest influence
• Diane Holditch-Davis, Margaret Miles, et al.– Mothers of VLBW or ventilated infants
• At serious risk for depression– Worse if tech dependent
• Rehospitalization greatest risk factor
![Page 29: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Psychological Health
• Lynn Singer et al.– Mothers of high-risk (+ BPD) and low-risk (- BPD)
VLBW infants vs term controls• VLBW moms with greater distress• Lower developmental scores risk factor• Resolved by 3 years for LR, by 8 years for all
– Major limitation – infants with grade III-IV IVH were excluded
![Page 30: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Psychological Health
• Leslie Halpern et al.– Mothers of VLBW infants vs term controls
• No difference in stress between both groups• Higher levels of stress in mothers of sick VLBW vs
healthy VLBW– Infant behavior associated with stress
![Page 31: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Psychological Health

Family Function & Stability
• Franco Carnevale et al.– Families with vent assisted children 2-5y
• Parents felt they had no real choice• Dichotomy of experiences
– “Worth every bit of effort”– “80% of couples end up separated”– “Live with the idea that…she’ll be gone”
• Separation from society, isolated, little support• Siblings expressed resentment towards sick
sibling, parents
![Page 34: Frank X. Placencia, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Baylor College of Medicine Texas Childrens Hospital Familial Consequences of Providing Long-Term Care.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e385503460f94b2912e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
