title: Parent stress associated with pediatric critical care nursing: linking research and practice.
abstract: This paper connects research findings to nursing practices that may be helpful when working with stressed parents of critically ill children. Theories and concepts foundational to understanding parental stress related to pediatric critical care are reviewed. Research findings particularly associated with parent role stress are introduced, and suggestions for using these findings to design nursing interventions are presented.
