Family festivities
Article Abstract:
Preparation, flexibility and sensitivity are required in caring for families visiting hospital patients at Christmas. Nurses from intensive care, paediatric and hospice wards emhasise the need to make the occasion as enjoyable as circumstances permit. However, nurses should be sensitive to religious and emotional needs as not all may want to celebrate. Practical problems may arise over reconciling festivities and visiting policies with infection control. Visitors' transport may also be a problem.
