Our evaluation of the intervention revealed differences
in three areas indirectly and directly linked to the social
emotional care of children during their stay in hospital
and their subsequent recovery. The first is that mothers
rated nurses as more supportive after the intervention,
suggesting that the intervention had resulted in mediumterm
changes in the way nurses addressed and interacted
with caregivers in the ward. As emphasized in the extant
literature, there is a great need to involve parents and
families in the care of hospitalized children [25]. Our results
indicate that by building a stronger partnership with nurses
through increased support and guidance, caregivers feel
more empowered and confident in the care of their children
during a potentially difficult and stressful hospitalization.
The second is in rated feeding behavior, with children being
observed as more relaxed, alert and engaged during feeding
in the postintervention phase. During the baseline we noted
high levels of anxiety experienced by mothers during feeding,
as they were exhorted to ensure that their children receive
nourishment.
