Multicenter Study
Understanding and meeting information needs following unintentional injury: Comparing the accounts of patients, carers and service providers.
To explore information needs of unintentional injury patients and their carers over time, across services, and how such needs are met from the perspectives of patients, carers and service providers. ⋯ Providing information on injury management, prognosis and available services and reassurance at each stage of the recovery process in secondary care and when transferring to primary care would be helpful for patients and carers. A follow-up contact soon after discharge and the opportunity to ask questions could be beneficial. Better information about the patient's needs and ways they can help could help carers fulfil their caring role.
