Abstract

Parenting is the biggest sacrifice one can make. It is putting you on hold to fulfill the promise of your child's tomorrow. Parents' presence acts as a morale catalyst during the treatment of a sick child. Although parental involvement in the treatment of hospitalised children is now regarded as essential, it remains one of the concepts on which there is no agreement. Parents' involvement and care during the procedures for hospitalised children also defines how parental involvement alleviates parent-child anxiety and prevents post-traumatic stress disorder. On the contrary, parental presence violates the privacy of healthcare team members and also increases their anxiety.

Keywords

Parenting, Parent-Child Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Hospitalization.
