Journal of pediatric nursing

Abstract

It is important to recognize that parents of disabled, premature, or chronically ill children may never fully resolve the grief associated with their child's special condition. Nurses need to identify the emotional responses of parents and assist them in coping with their special needs and concerns, thus helping to prevent major adjustment or psychological problems of both the child and parents.
