The pediatric hospital is an environment with a high level of stress for most parents. Parents experience high levels of stress if their children are hospitalized due to the fear for the loss of their child's life.
The objective of this study was to evaluate stress factors in parents of hospitalized children.
This study was conducted from January to July 2019 at the General Pediatrics Department of Fieri Regional Hospital. The study sample was composed of 200 parents, of which 86 (43.3%) were males and 114 (56.7%) were females. The parents chosen as our sample had their children hospitalized for at least 5 days.
Our results showed that 80% of the sample was stressed out by waiting at the hospital, whereas 42% of them felt stressed also by their child's oral problems. Parents of hospitalized children (83%) felt stressed about the painful techniques applied to their children. Nearly 65% of them were stressed out by the hospital environment; child's sleep bruxism was considered another stressor by 39% of the sample.
This study claims that parents of hospitalized children experience stress from different stressors such as dental visits, waiting for the diagnosis, and sleep bruxism. There are other factors which do not influence parental stress including residence, divorced parents, and hospital conditions.
儿童医院对大多数家长来说是一个压力很大的环境。如果孩子因担心失去生命而住院，家长会承受很大压力。
本研究的目的是评估住院儿童家长的压力因素。
本研究于2019年1月至7月在菲耶里地区医院综合儿科进行。研究样本由200名家长组成，其中86名（43.3%）为男性，114名（56.7%）为女性。被选为样本的家长其孩子住院至少5天。
我们的结果显示，80%的样本因在医院等待而感到压力，而其中42%的家长也因孩子的口腔问题感到压力。住院儿童的家长（83%）对应用于孩子的痛苦治疗技术感到压力。近65%的家长因医院环境而感到压力；39%的样本认为孩子的睡眠磨牙症是另一个压力源。
本研究称，住院儿童的家长因不同的压力源而感到压力，如看牙医、等待诊断和睡眠磨牙症。还有其他因素不会影响家长的压力，包括居住情况、离异父母和医院条件。
