22q11.2 deletion syndrome is the most prevalent chromosome microdeletion syndrome. It combines congenital heart disease, cleft palate, immune deficiency and other multisystem anomalies, and patients frequently have intellectual disability. From childhood into adolescence many individuals develop anxiety disorders or schizophrenia-spectrum psychosis.
Because the care across medicine, education and social welfare is compartmentalized, agencies often fail to share information properly. Families are forced to repeat painful histories, suffer from excessive emotional labour, and may acquire secondary trauma that discourages future help-seeking.
To improve the recovery process, we are building a portable record that compiles key, highly individualised information and supports shared decision-making among patients, relatives and professionals. Adapting Japan’s Maternal and Child Health Handbook, we redesign its content and layout to include diverse disabilities across the life course.
This implementation study is grounded in co-production. Since planning, we have collaborated with the family association, adopting their ideas to highlight personal strengths and detailed transition sections. A trauma-informed attitude that prioritizes the psychological safety of patients and families underpins every stage of the making process.
This presentation will show the trauma-informed co-production process. Moreover, aiming for wider application, we will describe the steps needed to achieve person-centered, lifespan care with complex disabilities.
