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.
