Outline of Final Research Achievements

An analysis was conducted on interview data from 35 nurses who worked in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) and 27 parents who had a child in a PICU. The main causes of stress in parents were feelings that their visitation time was limited, that there was a lack of sufficient explanations from the health care professionals, that they could not trust the health care professionals, that the care was inadequate, that there was a bad mood in the PICU, and that there was nothing they could do. On the other hand, the main causes of stress in nurses were feelings that they could not handle the complicated technology of the PICU, that there was a bad mood in the PICU, that the PICU working style was not very collaborative, that they were doing a job not worth doing, that their relationships with physicians were difficult, and that their relationships with parents were difficult.
