Abstract

Background and objective

Although “parents' participation in taking care of hospitalized children” is considered as an

indispensible principle today, it is still among the concepts with no consensus about it. The main

objective of this study is to define “parents' participation in taking care of hospitalized children”

using hybrid model.

Materials and methods

In this research analysis of “parental participation in parents' participation in taking care of

hospitalized children” was performed using a hybrid model in three steps: literature review

(theoretical step), field work, and combination of literature review and field work.

Findings

Based on the step of literature review, the best definition for the concept of “parental participation in

taking care of hospitalized children” was selected. In the field work step, dimensions of mentioned

concept were extracted; and finally definition of this concept by mixing theoretical and field work

step was proposed as: mutual relationship and gaining parents’ trust, giving required information

and educations to the parents about care and treatment process, asking parents for doing needed

home care jobs, involving the parents in care processes, and finally defining participation/decision

making authorities (clarifying the parents role).

Conclusion

The findings of this study elucidated dimensions of parental participation in NICU where giving

attention to them can lead to their putting to practice.
