Psychological stress in families of children in a pediatric intensive care unit. 1980

P Rothstein

Hospitalization of a child is stressful for a family. When the illness is severe, when there has been little or no preparation for hospitalization, when the etiology is not clear, and when the outcome is uncertain stress will be increased. Awareness of how families deal with the stress of the ICU allows us to provide support and to help them deal with that stress.
