Admission of a child to the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) may be one of the most stressful events for parents because the outcome is often uncertain. So how do parents cope, and how can we as nurses help them?
To explore the lived experiences of parents whose children have been admitted to a PICU.
Using Heidegger's school of interpretative phenomenology, six unstructured interviews were conducted. These were transcribed and analysed following interpretative phenomenological analysis. Participants were chosen through purposive sampling.
Each participant had different emergent themes. Themes included trauma, responsibility, anxiety about where the child is, post-traumatic stress symptoms and transfer to the ward.
The lived experience of a parent is fraught with varying different emotions, with the beginning of the journey and the ending of the PICU admission causing the most anxiety.
孩子入住儿科重症监护病房（PICU）对父母来说可能是压力最大的事件之一，因为结果往往不确定。那么父母是如何应对的，作为护士我们又该如何帮助他们呢？
探讨孩子入住PICU的父母的生活经历。
采用海德格尔的解释现象学学派，进行了6次非结构化访谈。访谈内容经转录后按照解释现象学分析方法进行分析。参与者通过目的抽样选取。
每位参与者都有不同的突出主题。主题包括创伤、责任、对孩子所在位置的焦虑、创伤后应激症状以及转至病房。
父母的生活经历充满了各种不同的情绪，旅程的开始和PICU住院的结束引发的焦虑最多。
