  • A hybrid model was employed, integrating a literature review (theoretical phase) with fieldwork.
  • An analytical phase combined both literature review and fieldwork findings.

Main Results:

  • Key components of parental participation include: mutual trust with nurses, comprehensive education on care and treatment, delegation of home care, involvement in caregiving, and shared decision-making.
