title: [What do health professionals think about parents' participation in care for children?].
abstract: This research report concerns a pilot study carried out in Canada and Belgium concerning the beliefs and attitudes of healthcare professionals--doctors and nurses--regarding parents' participation in ambulatory care for their children. The professionals surveyed see many advantages in such participation, including less stress for parents and children, but they also see some obstacles, most of them related to the parents themselves and the hospital environment.
