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.
