Abstract
The purpose of this quality improvement project was to examine the usefulness of a “What to Expect” educational brochure for parents of children awaiting an autism evaluation. Parents of children who need an autism evaluation require pertinent information, guidance, and resources on what to expect and how to prepare. Studies have shown that patient educational materials increase knowledge, promote good health outcomes, and positively alter behavior. The components of the project were as follows: preliminary brochure development; stakeholder engagement session with parents who have firsthand experience with the autism evaluation to review the brochure and provide feedback; brochure refinement to reflect the data collected from the engagement session; and brochure evaluation via the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) completed by nurse practitioners to assess the usefulness of the brochure. Eight parents participated in the engagement session and four nurse practitioners completed the PEMAT. 75% of the participants agreed that the brochure helped to know what to expect and 62.5% agreed that the brochure helped to understand how to prepare. The mean score from the PEMAT, 91.66%, was indicative of a high level of understandability/actionability and therefore usefulness of the brochure. This quality improvement project can generate a practice change whereby practitioners offer this evidence-based brochure as an educational tool to increase parents’ knowledge and prepare them for the autism evaluation.
