Experiences in children of critically ill parents: a time of emotional disruption and need for support.
The purpose of this phenomenologic study was to describe effects of a parental critical care hospitalization on the family as viewed by children. Interviews were conducted with eleven male phenomenologic techniques and showed these four major themes: (1) emotional turmoil, (2) family disruption, (3) need for support, and (4) minor illnesses. These disruptions are strong and need to be treated through nursing interventions.
