Nurse Support for Children and Their Parents Returning Home From the Hospital—The H2O Study
Year: 2020
Type: report
Abstract: What was the research about?When a child is leaving the hospital, hospital staff give parents instructions on how to take care of their child's health at home.But once at home, many parents struggle with managing health problems that arise, including who and when to call for help.In this study, the research team wanted to learn if giving parents extra support from a nurse after a child's hospital stay decreased how often children returned to the hospital.The team compared usual care only with two ways of giving extra support:• Home visit.A nurse visited the parents' home soon after their child's hospital stay.• Phone calls.A nurse called the parents soon after their child's hospital stay.
