“…The families’ healthcare experience, while receiving THC, was enhanced by the following factors: rapid access to care , continuity of care and expertise . Although we expected that the healthcare experience may be altered by a negative impact of technology on the home (Wong 1991, Arras 1995, Sudia‐Robinson 1998, Murphy 2001, O’Brien 2001, Kirk & Glendinning 2004, Wang & Barnard 2004) this was rarely observed. However, because of its importance, one quote related to the impact of technology has been included.…”

Tele-HomeCare (THC) delivers health care at home using telephone technologies. A THC service was developed as an adjunct to existing hospital and community care systems. It connected healthcare providers to children and families at home, during the initial transition from hospital to home, using video-conferencing phones and remote vital signs monitors. The goal was to support the transition from hospital to home, for children with subacute healthcare needs. This paper reports the qualitative evaluation of THC and describes the experiences of families supported by THC. A total of 16 mothers, four fathers and two adolescents from 16 families participated in a series of interviews conducted before, during and after THC. The interviews focused on the impact of THC on the children, on the families, and on their overall healthcare experience. Analysis of their accounts identified three subthemes: the stable child, a sense of security, and the healthcare-proficient parent. These subthemes were consistent across all time points and participants. Together they contributed to the overall effect of THC: the timely reunification of the family at home. THC was consistently reported to be an important resource that supported children and families during the transition from hospital to home. The benefits to children and families observed in this study may have also been a consequence of returning to their home environment, since THC allowed these children to be discharged home at a much earlier period. However, our findings are consistent with previous reports of the benefits of THC. Thus, THC is a successful method of healthcare service delivery that enables a safe return home with professional support provided remotely.

“…The trend toward early discharge and home care for these children has increased without an adequate understanding of its impact on families (Sudia-Robinson, 1998) or the establishment of comprehensive community-based systems and transition services to provide alternatives to hospital care (Shelton & Stepanek, 1994).…”

“…A growing number of children have life threatening dependence on technology (Haffner & Schurman, 2001;Newacheck & Taylor, 1998), a situation that has significant implications for the children, their families, and the healthcare and education professionals who work with them. The trend toward early discharge and home care for these children has increased without an adequate understanding of its impact on families (Sudia-Robinson, 1998) or the establishment of comprehensive community-based systems and transition services to provide alternatives to hospital care (Shelton & Stepanek, 1994).…”

Guided by Newman's theory of health as expanding consciousness, this study explored the pattern of nurse-parent interaction in families with children who were medically fragile by applying the hermeneutic, dialectic method of interviewing and analysis. Living with children who are medically fragile was manifested by continual uncertainity. Families changed from trying to gain control of their uncertainty to learning to live in the uncertainty, as they evolved through an initial p[eriod of disruption and disorganization to organization at another level. This required new ways of relating to friends, family, healthcare providers, and the community, expanding the consciousness of the family.
