Promotion de la santé des familles en milieu hospitalier pédiatrique
Abstract
Promoting Family Health in the Hospital Setting This article illustrates the fact that working in a pediatric hospital setting represents an excellent opportunity to promote family health. Interventions aiming at helping families to cope with a child's hospitalization are presented. Ways to reduce the parents' anxiety are discussed, for example familiarizing parents with the hospital environment and encouraging them to participate in their child's care. The recommended relationship between the nurse and the family is one that is based on respect for each other's competencies. Other interventions aim at the development of family health behaviors.Downloads
