Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This scoping review summarizes evidence on psychosocial supports for hospitalized children with chronic diseases and their parents, categorizing interventions into emotional, informational, social, spiritual, and practical domains. The analysis of 59 studies indicates that multimodal, in-person interventions administered by healthcare professionals or researchers are common and generally associated with positive outcomes without reported harms. The resource is intended for researchers and healthcare organizations seeking to understand current support structures and address the mental health impacts of hospitalization on pediatric patients and families.
