When a seriously ill and dying parent is hospitalized, the families are at risk of developing problems. Only sparse evidence is available on the effects of creating family-friendly rooms in hospitals.
This study investigates how a seriously ill parent to children aged 0-18 experiences staying in a hospital room with family-friendly furnishing.
From September 2012 to September 2015, seriously ill and dying patients with children ages 0-18 were offered the opportunity to stay in a family-friendly room at the North Denmark Regional Hospital. The sick parents were interviewed about how the changed room impacted themselves, their children, and their family.
The analysis led to three themes: (1) The ability to visit a sick parent, (2) maintaining family functions and relationships, and (3) room for children and adults.
By offering the families a hospital room with cozy furniture and a big TV screen, seriously ill parents see that their children are more comfortable when visiting the hospital. A family-friendly hospital is not just an idealistic thought, it is a real opportunity to improve the final period of a dying parent's life.
当身患重病、濒临死亡的父母住院时，其家人有出现问题的风险。关于医院设立家庭友好病房的效果，仅有少量证据。
本研究调查身患重病的0至18岁孩子的父母在配备家庭友好设施的病房住院的体验。
2012年9月至2015年9月，丹麦北部地区医院为身患重病、濒临死亡且有0至18岁孩子的患者提供入住家庭友好病房的机会。就病房的改变如何影响他们自身、孩子及家庭，对患病父母进行了访谈。
分析得出三个主题：（1）探望患病父母的能力，（2）维持家庭功能及关系，（3）儿童与成人的空间。
通过为家庭提供配备舒适家具和大电视屏幕的病房，身患重病的父母发现孩子在探望医院时更舒适。家庭友好型医院不仅是一种理想主义的想法，更是改善临终父母生命最后阶段的切实机会。
