“…Professionals recognized the importance of parents in the process of involvement, but perceived parents as lacking in necessary skills. This is in contradiction with previous research findings in which parents felt that they were able to participate in their child's care if they were given information and guidance from the staff (Chapados, Pineault, & Tourigny, 2002;Tourigny, Chapados, & Pineault, 2005). Lack of time is a barrier mentioned at all three sites, has been mentioned in previous literature (McKiel, 2002), and is a finding congruent with heavy workloads and the shortage of health professionals in both countries.…”

Changes in health care delivery in Canada and Europe, especially the shift to ambulatory care, have modified the care that children and parents receive and have prompted the need for a partnership alliance. The objectives of this exploratory study were to identify Canadian and Belgian health professionals' beliefs and attitudes towards parental involvement in their child's ambulatory care and to determine if these beliefs varied according to cultural background. Health professionals from both countries generally were in favor of parental involvement in their child's care, but are uncertain about its advantages and disadvantages. Facilitators and barriers mentioned by the health care providers were related to parents' abilities or their attitudes toward partnership, and they also expressed a need for more education on the subject. Results of this study indicate that health professionals working in ambulatory care are not fully ready to utilize parents as true partners in their interventions with children and families. Staff education is an important step towards the establishment and maintenance of a real partnership.

“…No significant difference was also observed between the ranking of infants and number of infants in terms of the levels of mothers' performance in the care of premature infants [24]. The results of this study were inconsistent with the study by Chapados et al The results of this study showed that parents with higher education levels, and younger parents, are more inclined to participate, while aged parents are more inclined to leave the care to the staff [25]. Perhaps the reason for this difference in the results is induced by difference in demographic characteristics of studied groups which have unique characteristics and also different sample numbers.…”

Introduction: Parental participation in the care of and support to premature infants is the main factor in accelerating health improvement and growth of infants in the neonatal unit. Many factors are associated with this participation, whose investigation provides appropriate contexts for parental participation. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the participation of mothers in the care of premature infants and factors associated with it. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study in which 170 mothers with premature infants, admitted to the neonatal ward of the hospitals chosen by the Guilan University of Medical Sciences, were examined using available sampling method. The information collection tool was a questionnaire of two parts: the questionnaire of the participation of parents with hospitalized infants and the researcher-made questionnaire of the factors associated with mothers' participation in the care of premature infants. After sampling, the data were statistically analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (tindependent, ANOVA, Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficient, and regression models). Results:The results suggest that the participation rate of mothers in infant care is 79.03%, and the birth weight (ß = -0.001, P = 0.017), gender (ß = 0.830, P = 0.024), to become familiar with the physical environment by the nurse (ß = 1.506, P = 0.001), to become familiar with the equipment used for infants in the department by the nurse (ß = 1.152, P = 0.009), explanation by a nurse for the measurements done for the infant and the reasons (ß = 0.818, P = 0.023), and blood sampling or venipuncture or pricking the infant (ß = 0.185, P = 0.041), were considered among the predictors of mothers' participation. Conclusion: Due to the identification of factors associated with the participation of mothers in the care of premature infants, it is recommended that the managers and nurses use the results to improve and strengthen the participation of mothers in the care of hospitalized infants.

“…Parents have expressed their need for more information and support from nursing staff regarding pain management 6,15 . Parents need clear explanations of the surgical procedure and subsequent medical treatment their child will receive, what part they might play in this, and time to validate their understanding 10 . If parents received clear guidelines about postoperative care, they could assume a greater part in the care of their child and manage their child's pain better 17 .…”

The aims of this study are to describe Chinese parents' perceptions of informational and emotional support received from nurses and their recommendations for improvement in the management of their child's postoperative pain. Data were collected using a questionnaire survey completed by 206 parents of 6- to 12-year-old child hospitalized in 12 wards in five provincial hospitals in Fujian Province, China, in 2004. Findings indicated that parents experienced negative feelings such as worry (91%) and anxiety (59%). Most of them reported they had received sufficient information on outcomes of surgical procedure (85%) and postoperative recovery process (84%), but fewer reported they had received sufficient information on pain medication (51%) and non-pharmacological pain-relieving methods (59%). Parents made some recommendations, which centred mainly on nurses' use of non-pharmacological methods. Findings suggest that parents need more information related to pain management and their understanding of the information should be ensured.
