This investigation identified and assessed the extent to which hospitals are implementing psychosocial services to meet the needs of children and their families. Following up a similar survey in 1981, a comprehensive questionnaire was sent to the directors of pediatric nursing at pediatric hospitals and general hospitals with pediatric residency programs in the U.S. and Canada. Data were analyzed in a variety of ways to determine the relation between characteristics of pediatric hospitals and general hospitals; Canadian and U.S. hospitals; and hospitals with short, medium, and long lengths of pediatric patient stay. Overall, pediatric hospitals provided more psychosocial services than did general hospitals, and more of these services were implemented in 1988 as compared to 1981. No consistent trends were evident among hospitals when countries or lengths of pediatric patient stay were compared.
这项调查确定并评估了医院为满足儿童及其家庭需求而实施心理社会服务的程度。继1981年的一项类似调查之后，一份综合问卷被发送给了美国和加拿大儿童医院以及设有儿科住院医师培训项目的综合医院的儿科护理主任。数据通过多种方式进行分析，以确定儿童医院和综合医院的特征之间的关系；加拿大和美国医院之间的关系；以及儿科患者住院时间短、中、长的医院之间的关系。总体而言，儿童医院提供的心理社会服务比综合医院更多，与1981年相比，1988年实施的此类服务更多。在比较不同国家或儿科患者住院时间的医院时，没有明显的一致趋势。
