Abstract
Decreasing hospital stays, increasing day surgery and the assumption that parents will manage their child at home necessitate research into children’s recovery. Given the scarcity of studies seeking parents’ perspectives, this exploratory and interpretive study is timely, presenting a detailed account of mothers’ experiences of managing their child’s recovery in hospital and at home. The study supports the view that recovery begins not with dis-charge, but with admission and before, as hospital experiences directly shape the recovery process.
