Effect of Chronic Pediatric Heart Conditions on Family Dynamics in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study

In Saudi Arabia, chronic childhood cardiac problems greatly affect family dynamics and provide major emotional, financial, and social difficulties. Families stated that they got some healthcare assistance; therefore, more psychological resources and all-encompassing support networks are required to solve the emotional and economic burden on caregivers. The results emphasize the importance of including family-centered care in pediatric cardiology clinics and encouraging more developed support networks for families coping with chronic diseases.

Abstract

In Saudi Arabia, chronic childhood cardiac problems greatly affect family dynamics and provide major emotional, financial, and social difficulties. Families stated that they got some healthcare assistance; therefore, more psychological resources and all-encompassing support networks are required to solve the emotional and economic burden on caregivers. The results emphasize the importance of including family-centered care in pediatric cardiology clinics and encouraging more developed support networks for families coping with chronic diseases.
