Parent-to-Parent Links: Building Networks for Parents of Hospitalized Children.

Winch, Anne E.; Cristoph, Jan M.

Children's Health Care, v17 n2 p93-97 Fall 1988

The development and continuing functioning of a hospital-based parent support group are described, illustrating the dynamics of parents sharing their experiences with having hospitalized children. The paper discusses the group's focus on the family rather than the disease, commonalities shared by families, and this approach's contribution to family-centered care. (Author/JDD)
