Childhood is a very special and important period in human life. In this period, the family is of great importance for children. In cases where the child needs hospitalization, the child is able to leave the family members, breaks the daily routine, remains in an environment that he does not know and is not used to, interact with the health professionals he does not know. All these changes are situations that discomfort the child and his family, which raise the level of anxiety. In the process of the child’s hospital bed, the satisfaction of the child’s care and needs by health professionals makes the parents feel desperate and insufficient. In addition, in this process, parents want to get information about their child’s condition and participate in their care. The participation of the family in care, the feeling of confidence and the provision of psychosocial support to the child, reduces both the family and the child’s anxiety and positively affects the course of the disease. Supporting the family’s reception and participation in care should be in the family-centered care framework. Nurses, who are members of a professional group of care, have important roles in this matter. In this context, pediatric nurses should support their parents to participate in care by recognizing the characteristics of the family within the framework of a family-centered care philosophy. This collection aims to provide information about the development, principles, benefits and roles of the nursing.
