Implementation of a bilingual and bicultural navigation program for Hispanic children with traumatic brain injuries.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disproportionately affects Hispanic children, with higher rates of severe injuries and worse outcomes compared to non-Hispanic White children. Patient navigation has shown effectiveness in improving health outcomes among Hispanic populations. However, cultura...

      ab: Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disproportionately affects Hispanic children, with higher rates of severe injuries and worse outcomes compared to non-Hispanic White children. Patient navigation has shown effectiveness in improving health outcomes among Hispanic populations. However, culturally tailored navigation programs for pediatric TBI are lacking, and knowledge gaps remain regarding contextual factors influencing the implementation of these programs. This study examined factors that facilitate or hinder the implementation of a bilingual and bicultural navigation program for caregivers of Hispanic children with TBIs. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 12 personnel involved in implementing the 1st Brain Injury Education and Outpatient Navigation (1st BIEN) program across four states. Directed content analysis was used based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to guide the development of the interview guide and data analysis. Results: Key facilitators included the program's adaptability to patient needs, bilingual/bicultural patient navigator's skills, and alignment with organizational values. Barriers included restrictive healthcare regulatory policies hindering interinstitutional work, incomplete medical records, and gaps in behavioral support training. Discussion: These findings offer insights for optimizing the implementation of patient navigation programs in pediatric TBI care, potentially improving access to care and reducing disparities for Hispanic children with brain injuries.
