Abstract: The study followed parents of 26 children with End Stage Renal\nFailure (ESRF) for two years to investigate the cumulative effects of\ncaring for a child with ESRF. The mean age of the children was\n10.24 (range 2yrs–17yrs), and 25 mothers and 18 fathers\nparticipated. The study assessed the stress, anxiety and depression\nlevels of parents, as well as their information needs and perceived\nimpact of the illness. This data was collected by questionnaires\nwhich were administered on seven occasions (four monthly). Data\nwas also collected on socioeconomic factors. Qualitative data was\nobtained by attending the parents support group, and later\ntranscribing the discussions. [Continues.]
