During a 9-month study period, 20% of parents (usually mothers) of children admitted to an acute medical paediatric ward opted to live in the hospital. We compared 34 resident parents with 23 from within the visiting group; the children were group-matched for age and sex. Our findings suggest that a number of resident parents perceive their children as temperamentally vulnerable and that they are in special need of reassurance and explanation. Thought needs to be given to how the hospital can respond optimally to them.
在为期9个月的研究期间，入住儿科急症病房的患儿家长中有20%（通常是母亲）选择住在医院。我们将34位住院家长与23位来访组家长进行了比较；这些孩子在年龄和性别上进行了组间匹配。我们的研究结果表明，一些住院家长认为他们的孩子气质上较为脆弱，特别需要安慰和解释。需要思考医院如何才能对他们做出最佳回应。
