Perspectives on Accessing Mental Health Supports for Youth Living With Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms After a Solid Organ Transplant.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMany children and adolescents who undergo solid organ transplants (SOT) develop post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms. Despite its prevalence and strong association with long-term impairments in quality of life, PTS is often overlooked as a major co-morbidity in many transplant programs. To address this unmet need, the purpose of this study was to explore the factors that impede or facilitate awareness of PTS, access to resources, and readiness to engage with mental health services.
methodsSeparate semi-structured interviews (N = 17) were conducted with pediatric SOT recipients between the ages of 12 and 18, and a parent/caregiver. Descriptive content analysis was used to uncover emerging themes from the interviews that explored: (1) awareness and management of PTS symptoms; (2) timelines surrounding PTS symptom awareness and resource-seeking; (3) facilitators to PTS symptom awareness; (4) barriers to PTS symptom awareness; (5) information seeking; and (6) areas for improvement in the current content and availability of resources.
resultsEmotional and physical impacts of SOT were identified for pediatric SOT recipients and their parents/caregivers. The majority of parent/caregiver and youth participants preferred to learn about the risk of PTS symptoms and available support resources before the transplant. Participants recommended several improvements and additional resources to support PTS, which centered around increasing access to mental health care, counseling and therapy, patient-centered support, and advocacy.
conclusionsBy exploring the personal experiences and perspectives of pediatric SOT recipients and their parents/caregivers, this work can be used to improve the accessibility and quality of mental health supports for PTS.
