To describe practices affecting parents' overnight stays, provisions for parents sleeping overnight and parents' involvement in overnight care of their hospitalized child.
A cross-sectional telephone survey of Canadian and American hospitals with more or equal to 50 acute pediatric beds and more or equal to two pediatric wards was conducted.
Surveys were completed by 135 hospitals (77% response rate). All general pediatric units allowed parents to sleep at the bedside overnight; higher acuity units limited parental stays. The majority of hospitals limited overnight visitors at the bedside to one parent, and few hospitals routinely allowed siblings to sleep overnight. One hundred and thirty-three (99%) hospitals reported parental involvement in their child's care at night, with 52 (39%) stating this was an expectation.
In general, parents are given the opportunity to stay at the bedside overnight, but barriers exist that limit opportunities for sleep during their child's hospitalization, and serve to separate families who have a hospitalized child.
描述影响父母夜间陪护的做法、为父母提供的夜间睡眠安排以及父母参与住院患儿夜间护理的情况。
对拥有50张及以上急性儿科床位且有两个及以上儿科病房的加拿大和美国医院进行了横断面电话调查。
135家医院完成了调查（回复率为77%）。所有普通儿科病房都允许父母在床边过夜；重症监护病房限制父母陪护时间。大多数医院将床边夜间探视者限制为一位家长，很少有医院常规允许兄弟姐妹过夜。133家（99%）医院报告父母参与了孩子的夜间护理，其中52家（39%）表示这是一种期望。
总体而言，父母有机会在床边过夜，但存在障碍限制了他们在孩子住院期间的睡眠机会，并且导致有住院患儿的家庭分离。
