Hospitalization of a child for physical reasons brings with it separation from parents, siblings and familiar surroundings, as well as the probability of subjection to frightening and painful procedures. Unless steps are taken to prevent or modify the resultant stress, behavioural disturbances may arise and may result in permanent damage to the developing personality.
儿童因身体原因住院，会使其与父母、兄弟姐妹及熟悉的环境分离，还可能要接受令人恐惧和痛苦的治疗。除非采取措施预防或减轻由此产生的压力，否则可能会出现行为障碍，并可能对正在发育的个性造成永久性损害。
