Discoveries of Medically Themed Media: Pediatric Patients and Parents’ Journeys of Sense-making examines the information needs and sense-making processes of pediatric patients through ethnographic accounts of 14 children undergoing craniofacial, neurological, and neurosurgical treatment. It contends that children rely on information—much of which is not delivered in an age-appropriate manner but rather geared toward adults—for the navigation of their medical experiences, and proposes medically themed media as a significant avenue by which greater understanding and sense-making are possible for pediatric patients.
