摘要
Parents of children in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) have many needs and stressors, but research has yet to examine their experience of their child's transfer from PICU to the hospital ward. Ten parents were interviewed following transfer from PICU to a hospital ward at a children's hospital in Canada. Parents' experience involved a search for comfort through transitions. The themes were: 'being a parent with a critically ill child is exhausting', 'being kept in the know', 'feeling supported by others', and 'being transferred'. Findings from this study can help nurses and health professionals working with parents during transitions. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
