  • Title: Parenting the chronically ill child in the hospital: issues and concerns.
    Author: Chan JM, Leff PT.
    Journal: Child Health Care; 1982; 11(1):9-16. PubMed ID: 10262145.
    Abstract:
    Chronic childhood illness and hospitalization are stressful events within the family unit. Parental response to the crisis of hospitalization profoundly affects the child's recovery process. This article discusses a team approach toward assessing and understanding parental reactions, methods of offering assistance and guidance, and basic issues and problems concerning staff-parent relationships. The focus is on the pediatric health care "team" as an agent for aiding families.
