Abstract
Background: Violence between siblings is prevalent and can have lasting adverse effects, including lowered self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and poor peer relationships.
Aim: Assess feasibility of implementing a sibling aggression tool in pediatric primary care settings and provide resources for support.
Methods: A quality improvement project design, including an educational brief for providers, implementation of the Sibling Aggression Screening Tool, compiled resources for support, and a Post Implementation Provider Survey to collect provider feedback.
Intervention: A Sibling Aggression Screening Tool was implemented over a one-week period with consolidated resources provided for support.
Results: Fifty percent of the providers agreed that it would be feasible to implement sibling aggression screening into well child examinations.
Conclusions: Based on provider feedback, the screening tool could be improved by utilizing an age-specific flow-chart design with re-implementation for a longer period to increase screenings performed.
