Perceived Child Vulnerability and Protective Behavior by Parents of Children with Chronic Kidney Disease

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Researchers asked parents of children with long term kidney disease how fragile they believe their child to be. They then looked at whether that belief changes how protective the parents act day to day. This is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof that one causes the other. The counts and results sit in the journal article and are not in this record.
