A child with chronic illness and dependent on technology affects the whole family, causing shifts in member roles and responsibilities, and family dynamics. Parents must develop necessary technical, assessment, decision-making, and care coordination skills to meet their child's unique medical, psychosocial, developmental, and emotional needs, and family equilibrium. Healthcare providers need to recognize each family's unique perspective and experience of caring for a child dependent on technology.

This research project explores how parents perceive this experience, identifies factors impacting their ability to care for their child and family, and provides recommendations for healthcare providers to help achieve the goal of truly family-centered care. 650 0 $a Sex instruction for teenagers. 650 0 $a Parent and teenager. 939 $a 5691203 941 $a 1 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C8FD6CA2B0D11DE82774608A8D7520A 994 $a 01 $b IOF 952 $l PHAX277 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
