The experiences of parents of children with disabilities receiving healthcare services: Negative emotions and associated situations
Parents expressed strong negative emotions, indicating a lack of family-centered care in their experiences with pediatric healthcare services. Service providers can reduce the likelihood of negative emotional experiences by gauging the level of involvement desired by parents, listening carefully and sensitively, and acting with respect and understanding.
