Experience of Adults and Children in Hospitals
Rokach, Ami; Parvini, Maneli
Early Child Development and Care, v181 n5 p707-715 2011
This review article examines the experience, in general but especially, of hospitalised children. The technical, environmental and social aspects of a hospital are described. Being hospitalised, especially for a child, could be a terrifying and painful experience. This experience has been described and closely examined with the aim of helping health care professionals address those needs, and the child's caregivers offer support and empower the child.
