ABSTRACT
Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is considered stressful environment and emotionally challenging for parents and care givers. Technological gadgetries, unfamiliar circumstances, fear of adverse outcomes, and monetary issues lead to their stress. The seriousness of the child’s illness, the criticality of the intensive care unit (ICU) environment, the changed parental relationship with the child, and the possible suddenness of the onset of the child’s illness may contribute to parental stress.
