On three separate occasions, between May 1980 and May 1982, observations were made of the number of people entering a six cot room in a paediatric ward between 6 am and 6 pm. The number of different people interacting with one unaccompanied child was also counted and in the 1982 study, the child's responses were described in detail. Results showed that more than 300 entrances by 100 different people occurred each day. It is suggested that such social demands on an unaccompanied child in the psychologically vulnerable age group may add to the stress of a hospital stay.
在1980年5月至1982年5月期间，分三次对早上6点至下午6点进入儿科病房一间有六张婴儿床病房的人数进行了观察。还统计了与一名无人陪伴儿童互动的不同人员的数量，并且在1982年的研究中，对儿童的反应进行了详细描述。结果显示，每天有100个不同的人进入病房超过300次。有人认为，对处于心理脆弱年龄组的无人陪伴儿童的这种社会需求可能会增加住院的压力。
