Sexual attraction and experiences in the primary care setting: examining disparities in satisfaction with provider and health self-efficacy.
This study examines whether sexual minority adolescents report lower satisfaction with primary care providers and lower health self-efficacy compared to heterosexual males and females. Data from 535 adolescents who participated in one of two randomized clinical trials were analyzed. Both sets of adolescents reported high satisfaction with providers. Relative to heterosexual males, sexual minority males reported lower self-efficacy in reaching health goals. Sexual minority females reported lower confidence in positively impacting their own health and lower self-efficacy in setting health goals compared to heterosexual females.

Factors associated with family experience in pediatric inpatient care.
Researchers assessed which aspects of pediatric inpatient experience have the strongest relationships with parents' willingness to recommend a hospital. Their cross-sectional study examined surveys completed by parents of children hospitalized at hospitals using the Child Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Survey. They found that child comfort and nurse-parent communication showed the strongest relationships with willingness to recommend, followed by preparing to leave the hospital, doctor-parent communication, and keeping parents informed. They recommended improvement efforts focusing on creating an age-appropriate environment, improving the effectiveness of provider interactions, and engaging parents to share their values and concerns.
