Abstract

This article is concerned with factors affecting parents' decisions to stay overnight on the wards with their children in hospital. A literature review is provided of past and present policies for parental access. The results are reported of a survey of 143 parents who stayed overnight with their children at Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne. The survey revealed that the cost and availability of off-ward accommodation did not influence the parents' decisions, the majority of children had pre-planned stays and none were in immediate danger. The paper concludes with suggestions concerning parent accommodation in children's hospitals.

摘要

本文关注的是影响父母决定在孩子住院期间在病房过夜的因素。文中提供了一份关于过去和当前父母探视政策的文献综述。报告了对143名在墨尔本皇家儿童医院陪伴孩子过夜的父母进行调查的结果。调查显示，病房外住宿的费用和可获得性并未影响父母的决定，大多数孩子的住院是预先安排好的，且没有一个孩子处于紧急危险之中。本文最后就儿童医院中父母的住宿问题提出了建议。
