Abstract
History: Pneumonia in children, which is a relatively common disorder burdening kids, can not only lead to health problems but also unwittingly burden family with psychosocial pressures. Recognition of the fact that there are significant consequences which hospitalization creates is essential in order to assure that there would be effective and personalized care.
Objective(s): This analysis is directed at finding out how does the psychosocial effect of having a child hospitalized because of pneumonia on families, wherein the researcher will take into consideration the length and frequency of hospitalization.
Methodology: However, due to the nature of my study, I decided to apply both qualitative and quantitative methods, more specifically, to combine these qualitative interviews with quantitative surveys.
The participants comprise 100 parents and caregivers of children diagnosed with pneumonia. (n.b. = denotes sample size) Qualitative data was analyzed through a thematic approach, exploring emotional states, coping strategies and sociological issues. The questionnaire with categorical questions were estimated by using the statistical tools, the frequency and the duration of the hospitalization were assessed.
Results: It has been shown that while 100 (n = 100) participants experienced predominantly mild effects of pediatric pneumonia, there were also severe impacts affecting 3 (n = 3) participants. The figures of hospitalizations were marked as the most meaningful factor, impacting the patients' hospital stay time. Those observations, therefore, contour the distinct complexity of the psychosocial condition on families with the family members thereby calling for the customized interventions.
Recommendations: So to sum up, clinicians should include personalized methods to help the families cope for both the times when the child is hospitalized and the hospital stay duration. In addition, these group of activities could comprise of individual counseling, provision of financial assistance, educational resources to help with coping strategy.
Conclusion: This study aims at investigating the psychological and social aspects of being a parent or family member in a hospital if one's child has pneumonia. The study just stressed that, on the average effects were mild, but it also marked out some important associations between hospitalization frequency and duration. These details allow to obtain a more elaborate and detailed granular picture about vulnerability and frailty, which are used for a targeted program creation for garage work in providing comprehensive care.
