The study was designed to determine if the concerns of 2- to 5-year-old children hospitalized for chronic illness differ from the concerns of other children. Interviews were conducted with 32 short-stay chronically ill, 10 long-stay chronically ill, 20 acutely ill, and 20 healthy children. Narrative recordings were analyzed using a categorical system of 10 developmental and hospital-related concerns. Differences between groups in mean proportion of concerns expressed were examined for each interview using analysis of variance techniques. The major concerns expressed by each group on all interviews were Autonomy and Exploration and, in the chronically ill children, Intrusion. Increased age was associated with increased expression of Intrusion in all groups except the long-stay chronic illness group.
该研究旨在确定因慢性病住院的2至5岁儿童的担忧是否与其他儿童不同。对32名短期慢性病患儿、10名长期慢性病患儿、20名急性病患儿和20名健康儿童进行了访谈。使用一个包含10个与发育和医院相关担忧的分类系统对叙述性记录进行了分析。每次访谈都使用方差分析技术检查各群体在表达担忧的平均比例上的差异。所有访谈中每个群体表达的主要担忧是自主性和探索性，而慢性病患儿还包括侵扰性。除长期慢性病患儿组外，在所有群体中，年龄增长都与侵扰性表达的增加有关。
