When it is prolonged and the prognostic is uncertain, it can significantly and negatively affect the whole family. To date, little is known on how families with a chronic critically ill (CCI) child are affected. This national study explored the specific PICU-related sources of stress, family functioning and needs of families of CCI patients during a PICU hospitalization. This descriptive qualitative study was conducted in the eight pediatric intensive care units in Switzerland. Thirty-one families with a child meeting the CCI criteria participated in semi-structured interviews. Interviews, including mothers only (n = 12), fathers only (n = 8), or mother and father dyads (n = 11), were conducted in German, French, or English by two trained researchers/clinical nurses specialists. Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using deductive and inductive content analyses. Five overarching themes emerged: (1) high emotional intensity, (2) PICU-related sources of stress, (3) evolving family needs, (4) multi-faceted family functioning, and (5) implemented coping strategies. Our study highlighted the importance of caring for families with CCI children. Parents reported high negative emotional responses that affect their family functioning. Families experience was highly dependent on how HCPs were able to meet the parental needs, provide emotional support, reinforce parental empowerment, and allow high quality of care coordination.Chantal GrandjeanChantal GrandjeanPascale UllmannMark MarstonMark MarstonMark MarstonMarie-Christine MaitreMarie-Hélène PerezAnne-Sylvie RameletAnne-Sylvie RameletThe OCToPuS ConsortiumAnne-Laure LauriaAngelo PolitoNathalie BochatonDaniel TrachselSilvia SchnidrigTilman HumplBjarte RogdoEllen WildThomas NeuhausSandra StalderBarbara BrotschiFranziska von ArxAnna-Barbara SchlüerThomas RiedelPascale Van KleefFrontiers Media S.A.articlechronic diseasechronic critical illness (CCI)pediatric intensive care unitfamilyfamily nursingfamily functioningPediatricsRJ1-570ENFrontiers in Pediatrics, Vol 9 (2021)
