    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric healthcare
    • Parental involvement in child hospitalization
    • Child psychology

    Background:

    • A significant portion of parents choose to reside in the hospital with their children during acute pediatric admissions.
    • Understanding the needs and perceptions of these resident parents is crucial for optimizing care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the characteristics and needs of parents who lived in the hospital with their children versus those who visited.
    • To identify specific parental perceptions that may require tailored hospital support.

    Main Methods:

    • A 9-month study comparing 34 resident parents with 23 visiting parents.
    • Group-matching of children by age and sex for accurate comparison.
    • Qualitative assessment of parental perceptions and needs.

    Main Results:

    • 20% of parents opted for in-hospital residence during their child's acute medical pediatric stay.
    • Resident parents frequently perceived their children as temperamentally vulnerable.
    • These parents expressed a heightened need for reassurance and detailed explanations regarding their child's condition and care.

    Conclusions:

    • Hospital environments should consider the unique psychological needs of resident parents.
    • Developing strategies to provide optimal reassurance and explanation is essential for supporting parents during pediatric hospitalization.
    • Further research into tailored support systems for resident parents is warranted.
