Parent-professional collaboration when hospital visits are infrequent.
Parents and family members may be unable to visit a hospitalized child frequently for any number of logistical or emotional reasons. Strategies to promote parent-professional collaboration when parents visit infrequently include: reaching out to both establish a relationship with family members and encourage their relationship with the hospitalized child; providing logistical support to facilitate visiting; and providing training and support for staff in family-centered care, including accepting diversity in family styles and choices.
