Creating a home with a critically ill child: A qualitative study exploring the experiences of parents of children admitted to paediatric critical care following treatment in neonatal care
There is a growing cohort of children living with chronic health conditions. In this work, we have explored how their parents establish a home whilst often spending significant periods within the public arena of intensive care. Families across settings need support from healthcare professionals to help them develop their role as parents, build a home, and to create memories together.
