“…Moreover, information helps siblings' engagement with family and familiarity with hospital environments ( 26 ). Moreover, interaction with medical care, system, and staff influence siblings ( 27 ). In hospital settings, siblings of admitted children are specifically at risk of unhealthy psychosocial conventions, such as internalizing distress ( 27 ).…”

“…Moreover, interaction with medical care, system, and staff influence siblings ( 27 ). In hospital settings, siblings of admitted children are specifically at risk of unhealthy psychosocial conventions, such as internalizing distress ( 27 ). Further, siblings attempt to maintain their usual self, an essential element of children's optimal growth and development, while controlling for internalizing and externalizing complexities ( 5 ).…”

Recent years have seen increased attention to the needs and support of siblings of children with chronic illness, and reports of intervention studies on siblings are gradually increasing worldwide. In Japan, the basic policy approved by the Cabinet in 2021 of The Basic Law for Child and Maternal Health and Development stipulates promoting support for the siblings of children with chronic illness, medical care, and disabilities. Simultaneously, practical reports are emerging. However, reports on the actual state of sibling support at medical institutions in Japan are limited. This study aimed to describe the actual state of support for siblings of children with illness in Japanese medical institutions using a cross-sectional design. Responses were obtained from 207 of 484 registered training facilities for Board-Certified Pediatricians of the Japan Pediatric Society through anonymous questionnaires investigating the actual state of siblings' support. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and the state of siblings' support was described. Fifty-two participants (25.1%) answered that the entire ward, including two outpatient departments, provided siblings' support, while 37 (17.9%) answered some staff made an effort, and 117 (56.5%) did not. Support mentioned included conversing with siblings, actively speaking to siblings, calling siblings' names, and counseling care through the parents. Of the 45 cases (21.7%) where siblings were invited to events and gatherings, 10 (22.2%) were siblings-centered events. Some cases involved collaboration with local sibling support groups such as non-profit organizations. This study clarified the actual state of siblings' support, and further expansion of this support is required.

“…Esto se debe no solo a la naturaleza de la enfermedad, sino también al tiempo que dedican al cuidado durante la hospitalización (5). De hecho, el tiempo que el cuidador pasa junto al niño hospitalizado tiene un impacto directo y significativo en la capacidad para realizar otras actividades, tanto a nivel personal como profesional, e incluso puede influir en la toma de decisiones cotidiana (6,7). Sin embargo, estas repercusiones no se distribuyen de manera equitativa en la sociedad, puesto que en la actualidad las mujeres continúan asumiendo en mayor medida el rol de cuidadores y, por tanto, están más expuestas a los efectos negativos de la hospitalización del niño (8).…”

Objetivos. Conocer el grado de ansiedad del cuidador primario del niño hospitalizado e identificar la ansiedad de estos en función de la cronicidad de la patología. Asimismo, describir la relación entre el nivel de ansiedad y las características sociodemográficas. Metodología. Estudio transversal. La población de estudio estuvo conformada por cuidadores primarios de niños ingresados en un hospital de tercer nivel en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía que accedieron voluntariamente a participar en el estudio (n=61). Por tanto, las variables fueron recogidas a través del cuestionario STAI y de un cuestionario sociodemográfico. Resultados. El grado general de ansiedad del cuidador primario fue de 52,98±18,60 puntos, con puntuaciones de ansiedad rasgo de 23,15±9,62 y ansiedad estado de 29,84±10,99. Los cuidadores de niños con patología crónica presentaron mayores niveles de ansiedad tanto generalizada como ansiedad estado que los que estaban hospitalizados por patología aguda (p≤0,05). Las mujeres expresaron niveles de ansiedad rasgo más elevados (p=0,02). Asimismo, este fue más elevado entre los que no desempeñaban actividad remunerada (p=0,04). Además, los cuidadores que no tenían más personas a cargo presentaron un grado de ansiedad superior general (p=0,02) y rasgo en comparación con los que sí (p=0,01). Discusión. Los cuidadores primarios de niños hospitalizados presentan un elevado nivel de ansiedad. Particularmente, este nivel es más elevado entre aquellos que cuidan a niños con patología crónica, aquellos que no tienen personas a cargo y que no desempeñan una actividad remunerada. ABSTRACT Objectives. To evaluate the general degree of anxiety of the primary caregiver of the hospitalized child and to identify the anxiety of caregiver depending on the chronicity of the pathology. Likewise, describe the relationship between the anxiety level and the socio-demographic characteristics. Methodology. Cross-sectional study. The population study was composed by primary caregivers of children admitted to a third level hospital in the autonomous community of Andalusia who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study (n=61). Therefore, the variables were collected through the STAI questionnaire and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results. The primary caregiver's overall anxiety score was 52.98±18.60 points, as a trait 23.15±9.62 and as a state 29.84±10.99. Caregivers of children with chronic pathology presented higher levels of generalized anxiety and as a state than those who were hospitalized with acute pathology (p≤0.05). Women presented higher level of anxiety as trait. Likewise, the degree of anxiety as a trait was higher among those who did not perform paid activity (p=0.04). Also caregivers who had no other dependents presented a higher degree of generalized anxiety (p=0.02) and as a trait compared to those who did have other dependents (p=0.01). Discussion. Primary caregivers of hospitalized children present a high level of anxiety. It is particularly higher among those who care for children with a chronic pathology, those who do not have any dependents and who do not carry out a remunerated activity.

“…Concerning quantitative studies, limited prior research has employed specific measures to describe siblings’ psychosocial and behavioural consequences, such as the Sibling Perception Questionnaire (Carpenter & Sahler, 1991) and Sibling Cancer Needs Instrument (Patterson et al, 2013). Some researchers have used the Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach & Ruffle, 2000; Niinomi & Fukui, 2018; Wood et al, 2008), while others have used the Children's Depression Inventory (Chao et al, 2003; Kovacs, 1985; Lähteenmäki et al, 2004). However, it is difficult to make accurate comparisons because of differences in the measures employed by each study.…”
