Overview
Brief Summary
Children recovered in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) suffer from severe conditions, sometimes life-threatening. Thus, priority is given to urgent somatic care, children medicalization is strong, invasive technics have to be used, and medical monitoring is close.
A stay in PICU often leaves a painful memory to the child and family, and can lead to psychological morbidity such as post-traumatic stress disease.
This study aims to assess parents' experience during their child hospitalization in PICU, and the impact of this stay on the entire family in the following month.
