Studies on parents' participation in care of a hospitalized child are rare and have not sufficiently addressed the factors prompting parents' participation in their child's care. This study investigated the relative contributions and predictive value of parents' and children's demographics on parents' participation in care. A convenience sample of 294 parents participated from four major hospitals in a metropolitan area in Amman. Parents completed two sets of measures, a socio-demographic form and the Arabic version of the Index of Parent Participation/Hospitalized Child. A series of bivariate analyses were completed to investigate associations between socio-demographic variables and parents' participation in care. The multiple regression analysis identified four variables as the optimal set of predictors for parent participation in the care of a hospitalized child: hospital experience, type of illness, child's age and type of hospital. The importance of interpreting these findings in a cultural context is discussed.
关于父母参与照顾住院儿童的研究很少，且尚未充分探讨促使父母参与孩子护理的因素。本研究调查了父母和孩子的人口统计学特征对父母参与护理的相对贡献和预测价值。从安曼一个大都市地区的四家主要医院抽取了294名父母作为便利样本。父母们完成了两套测量工具，一份社会人口学表格和阿拉伯语版的《父母参与/住院儿童指数》。完成了一系列双变量分析，以调查社会人口学变量与父母参与护理之间的关联。多元回归分析确定了四个变量为父母参与照顾住院儿童的最佳预测指标集：住院经历、疾病类型、孩子年龄和医院类型。文中讨论了在文化背景下解释这些研究结果的重要性。
