Labdassence collaborates with the “El sillón azul” association founded by El Gancho Infantil. This association has set a second objective: that the caregivers of hospitalized minors can rest in a completely horizontal position, improving their physical and mental health, helping them to cope with the hospital stays of their children.
Accompanying a family member at night in a hospital is usually hard, but if the hospitalization is prolonged, families suffer more markedly the physical and psychological consequences that care and accompaniment entail. Without a doubt, this situation is much more serious when faced with the hospitalization of a minor.
When it comes to a child, the accompaniment must be continuous (regardless of the severity of the patient). In addition, this task usually falls almost exclusively on one or two people (usually the parents), given the special need for security and affection that this stage of life entails.
Many families have been forced to make the hospital their home for a while, day and NIGHT, so caregivers also suffer the consequences of the hospital routine. And if the parents do not rest … the strength with which they must face the day to day becomes a little more difficult.
Although the possibilities of falling asleep in a hospital will always be limited, a bed certainly offers the possibility of resting in a comfortable position, which helps to rest.
