Exploring Factors Affecting Parental Psychological Vulnerability During Their Child's PICU Admission: A Prospective Pilot Cohort Study.
Journal of Pediatric Health Care 2024 January 23
INTRODUCTION: Parental psychological responses during their child's pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission are often overlooked. This study aimed to identify pre-existing and peri-traumatic factors explaining parental stress and anxiety during their child's PICU admission and one-month follow-up.
METHOD: A prospective pilot study included 60 PICU parents. Parental Stressors Scale and State-trait Anxiety Inventory measured stress and anxiety during PICU admission, and the State-trait Anxiety Inventory and Perceived Stress Scale at a one-month follow-up.
RESULTS: During PICU admission, parental stress correlated with age, race, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), anxiety was linked to income. At one-month follow-up, anxiety related to child's health worries, perceived stress was linked to parental ACEs and education. Parental ACEs predicted perceived stress (b = 0.83, p = .028). Children's diagnoses explained anxiety, particularly respiratory and cardiac diagnoses (b = -13.44, p = .023; -10.03, p = .045).
DISCUSSION: Identifying factors helps teams understand parental vulnerability and provide appropriate support.
