In order to assist parents to cope with the stress of their child undergoing major spinal surgery, health professionals need an understanding of what the key stressors are. In this study, 13 interviews and questionnaires from parents in the UK and USA were carried out and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Five themes emerged: 'Information'; 'Parenting role'; 'Confidence in professionals'; 'Pain'; and 'Effect on life'. Findings suggested that parents need appropriate information and support from health professionals throughout their experience to help minimize uncertainty and distress and that pain management is a major source of stress to parents.
为了帮助父母应对孩子接受重大脊柱手术的压力，卫生专业人员需要了解主要的压力源是什么。在这项研究中，对来自英国和美国的 13 名父母的访谈和问卷调查进行了分析，并使用解释现象学分析（IPA）进行了分析。出现了五个主题：“信息”；“父母角色”；“对专业人员的信心”；“疼痛”；和“对生活的影响”。研究结果表明，父母在整个治疗过程中需要卫生专业人员提供适当的信息和支持，以帮助减少不确定性和痛苦，并且疼痛管理是父母的主要压力源。
