Eight families participated in the research. Three interviews were conducted per family. Interviews were recorded using Microsoft Teams application. <br><br>Analysis: The interviews underwent analysis employing the Framework Method (Gale et al., 2013; Ritchie & Spencer, 1994), uncovering patterns and insights relevant to the impact of child hospitalisation from varying familial perspectives.
Results: Overarching themes of Emotional impact, Relational impact, Practicalities, Adjustment, Communication and ‘Take home messages from families’, were identified and discussed. <br><br>Conclusion: By identifying gaps in support, communication barriers, access inequalities, and other implications, targeted clinical interventions and preventions can be developed to empower families and healthcare professionals. This study promotes a greater understanding of the challenges associated with child hospitalisation and underlines the importance of improved support systems worldwide. <br><br><i>Thesis is embargoed until 31 December 2025</i>.<br>
