FOR THE FAMILY TO COPE WITH THE SITUATION OF AN ILLNESS MAINLY OF A CHILD, IT IS FOR THE PARENTS A FEELING THAT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED BY THE CARE OF THE NURSING TEAM, BECAUSE IF SUCH A SITUATION WHEN UNACCOMPANIED AND SUPPORTED BY PROFESSIONALS, IT ALSO TRIGGERS A FAMILY CRISIS , WHERE IN FRONT OF THE PAIN THE PARENTS EXPERIENCE SEVERAL FEELINGS, BEING THE GUILT AND IMPOTENCE IN THE EAGERNESS TO PROTECT THE CHILD WHAT IS MORE AND TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT (HAYKAWA; MARCON; HIGARASHI, 2009) OBJECTIVE: TO KNOW BEFORE THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE AS DESCRIBED IN THE PEDIATRIC ICU.
