Taryn's story.
Hospitalization of a young child with a chronic illness is a nightmare for the child and family. And the nightmare can get worse for children with multiple health care problems managed by several sub-specialty teams. The child feels anxious; parents don't know who to turn to for information and support. Collaborative nursing and family interventions can help relieve some of these problems.
