Although today parents' participation in taking care of hospitalized children is considered as an indispensable principle, it is still among the concepts with no consensus about. The main objective of this study is to define parents' participation in taking care of hospitalized children.
The concept of "parents' participation in taking care of hospitalized children" was analyzed using a hybrid model in three phases: Literature review (theoretical phase), fieldwork, and combination of literature review and fieldwork (analytical phase).
Based on the results of theoretical (literature review), fieldwork, and analytical phases, the best definitions for the concept of "parents' participation in taking care of hospitalized children" are mutual relationship and gaining parents' trust toward nurses, giving the required information and education to the parents about care and treatment process, assigning the needed home care to the parents, involving the parents in caregiving process, and finally, defining their participation in decision making (clarifying the parents' role) in order to improve the quality of care given to the children.
The findings of this study showed that the dimensions of parents' participation can be applied in pediatric wards, and nurses can improve the quality of care through application of the obtained findings.
尽管如今父母参与照顾住院儿童被视为一项不可或缺的原则，但它仍是一个尚未达成共识的概念。本研究的主要目的是界定父母参与照顾住院儿童的情况。
采用混合模型分三个阶段分析“父母参与照顾住院儿童”这一概念：文献综述（理论阶段）、实地调查以及文献综述与实地调查相结合（分析阶段）。
基于理论（文献综述）、实地调查和分析阶段的结果，“父母参与照顾住院儿童”这一概念的最佳定义为相互关系以及赢得父母对护士的信任，向父母提供有关护理和治疗过程的所需信息与教育，为父母安排所需的家庭护理，让父母参与护理过程，最后界定他们在决策中的参与度（明确父母的角色），以提高给予儿童的护理质量。
本研究结果表明，父母参与的维度可应用于儿科病房，护士可通过应用所得结果提高护理质量。
