“…Social support plays an integral part in the coping process, even if it is perceived rather than actual support 46. This explains why the mothers in this study had an increased need for reassurance in their decision-making abilities when their child was unwell.…”

An algorithm was generated from the findings, which illustrates the importance of ascertaining whether the mother is alone at the time of the consultation. Increased emotional vulnerability intensified the need for reassurance and affected a mother's decision-making ability. Primary healthcare staff should ascertain whether mothers are currently lone parents at an early stage of their assessment, as this may influence the entire consultation.

Hospitalization of a child is a stressful experience, increasing parents' anxiety and deteriorating their satisfaction with the health-care services. This study aimed to assess the level of stress that parents of hospitalized children experienced and evaluate the association of parent's stress and satisfaction and identify its predictors. Three hundred and fifty-two parents whose children were hospitalized in two pediatric hospitals were enrolled in the study, from February 2015 to April 2015. The Perceived Stress Scale was used to estimate parental stress and the Pyramid Questionnaire was used for assessing parents' overall satisfaction with care. Parents expressed mild to moderate overall levels of stress. Less-stressed parents felt more satisfied. Being single ( p < .001), having lower educational level ( p = .005), one's child been hospitalized for more than 14 days ( p = .001), and one's have visited the hospital many times in the past ( p = .014) were the predictors of experiencing high levels of stress. During pediatric hospitalization, parental needs (communication, interpersonal health care, continuous information, involvement in child's care) should be considered, so as stress levels to be decreased and parents get more satisfied by the quality of health care provided.

“…1,2 When admitted into a hospital, a child is exposed to a hostile environment where s/he is subject to painful and potentially traumatic stimuli. The parents, in addition to this unfamiliar, unpleasant and considerably technical environment, simply having a child sick, coupled with the uncertainty and uneasiness caused by the situation, also have to deal with distress, 3 which makes them feel increasingly helpless.…”

“…11 Since that time, the full-time presence of parents in wards has been a great challenge for the health staff, because in addition to children, the parents, who also need to establish coping strategies to adjust and regulate their emotions and adapt to the experience of hospitalization, need to be included in the care routine. 1 The parents' psychosocial health is determinant for the physical and mental health of their children, as well as their attitudes toward the disease, especially during hospitalization, also influencing treatment adherence and the impact of the disease on the child. 7 Even though, healthcare workers play an important role in the assessment and establishment of a care plan based on the child's and family's needs, 5 the literature shows that they are not always attentive and prepared to provide care to parents and meet their needs from the philosophical perspective of family-centered care, 3 as they do not exactly know what the feelings and needs of parents are.…”
