5.1 Literature Survey on Services during the Hospitalisation
Child hospitalization is a stressful event both for children and for caregivers, even if hospitalization is for middle and transient pathologies. The following literature survey has the intent to show what services are offered during hospitalization in a usual paediatric unit. Some variables, such as recreational and school services offered to children during hospitalization, may influence perception of cognitive, physiological and behavioral state relating to the sensation of "being stressed". Perception of stress may be higher because of the degree of kindred with patients, length of hospitalization, participation in some of the activities offered to children, mainly school services.
