Others
Data obtained from semi-structured interviews with caregivers and professionals will be analyzed using content analysis to identify the categories and subcategories that constitute caregivers, self-efficacy for outings accompanied by children requiring medical care. Based on the extracted constructs, an initial pool of scale items will be developed. The content validity of these items will then be evaluated by an expert panel, followed by cognitive interviews with caregivers, to develop a draft version of the Self-Efficacy Scale for Outings Accompanied by Children Requiring Medical Care.
Observational
| 18 | years-old | <= |
| Not applicable |
Male and Female
Primary caregivers of children requiring medical care who have experience preparing for, making decisions about, accompanying, or considering or foregoing outings with their child, as well as healthcare or other professionals who have experience supporting outings, overnight stays, hospital discharge, home-based care, mobility and positioning, medical device management, family education, or coordination of community resources for children requiring medical care. Participants must be able to participate in an interview conducted in Japanese and provide written informed consent to participate in the study.
Individuals whose own condition or the condition of the child requiring medical care is unstable at the time of the interview, such that participation in the study may impose an excessive burden; individuals who have difficulty understanding the study or communicating during the interview; and individuals whom the principal investigator judges to be unsuitable for participation for any other reason.

This study is a prospective qualitative descriptive observational study and scale item development study. From September 2026 to April 2027, primary caregivers of children requiring medical care who are receiving inpatient or outpatient care at the Ibaraki Prefectural University of Health Sciences Hospital, as well as healthcare and other professionals affiliated with the Ibaraki Prefectural University of Health Sciences or its affiliated hospital who have experience supporting outings, overnight stays, hospital discharge, home-based care, or related services for children requiring medical care, will be purposively recruited.
Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with caregivers and professionals to explore their experiences with outings, situations that make outings difficult, conditions under which caregivers perceive themselves as capable of managing outings, and the support and environmental resources considered necessary. Outing frequency will not be used as an eligibility criterion, and participants with a range of outing experiences will be included.
Interview recordings will be transcribed verbatim and analyzed using content analysis based on Berelson's approach to identify the constructs of caregivers' self-efficacy for outings accompanied by children requiring medical care. Based on the identified constructs, an initial pool of scale items will be developed. The content validity of the items will then be evaluated by an expert panel, followed by cognitive interviews with caregivers, to develop a draft version of the scale.
