ABSTRACT: This study was devised to assessed the perception of parents on the extent of stressors and nursing support they experienced during their child's hospitalization. The researchers determined the parent's profile (age, civil status, highest educational attainment, economic status and length of their child's stay in the hospital), the parent's perception of the extent of stressors (Parental Role Alteration, Child's Appearance and Behavior and Sights and Sounds), and the parent's discernment of the level of nursing support (Supportive Communication and Information-Giving, Parental Esteem Support, Emotional Support, and Caregiving Support). Furthermore, the researchers tested the hypothesis at a 0.05 level of significance if a significant relationship exists between the parent's profile and the stressors and between the stressors and nursing support. The descriptive study utilized purposive sampling following the criteria that the parents who are willing to participate in the study must have a 0-3 year old child currently admitted to the pediatric ward of the selected hospitals. The statistical treatments applied to the data were frequency and percentage distribution, weighted mean, Chi-square and Pearson's r correlation coefficient. The study found that majority of the respondents were middle adults, live with their partner, attained high school education and below, earn an income below Php 6,195, and had their child hospitalized for one month and below. Parents perceived average stress in parental role alteration, very high stress in Child's Appearance and Behavior, and high stress in Sights and Sounds. Moreover, they experienced average nursing support in Emotional Support and high levels of nursing support in Supportive Communication and Information-giving, Parental Esteem Support, and Caregiving Support. Significant relationships were found between Child's Appearance and Behavior and civil status; between the three stressors and the highest educational attainment; between the three stressors and economic status; and between Parental Role Alteration and the length of child's stay in the hospital. In addition, a highly positive and significant correlation was evident between stressors and nursing support. Based on the findings, the researchers recommend the pediatric wards to conduct a pre-orientation for parents regarding what to expect during their child's hospitalization; to the hospital administrators for them to facilitate a program to promote a parent to parent activity and to organize seminars that will enhance the level of support rendered by the nursing staff; to the nursing educators for them to emphasize the holistic view of the four overlapping aspects of nursing support in purveying emotional support; and to the future researchers for them to utilize and expound on the findings and assimilate it on other locals and/or on other respondents.
