Twelve parents of eleven hospitalized children between the ages of 1 and 6 years with various medical diagnoses and seventeen nurses who cared for those children participated in the study. Parents and nurses collaborated and shared responsibilities and tasks to provide home-like care for hospitalized children in everyday situations by making mealtimes seem familiar, maintaining customary sleeping patterns, adapting washing and dressing routines, and facilitating play and activity. Parents and nurses collaborated to maintain a familiar rhythm in an unfamiliar environment to enhance the children's well-being.

Increased functional disability is hypothesized to be associated with increased mental health challenges, specifically anxiety and depression, and general social support is hypothesized to moderate this relationship, such that higher perceived social support will mitigate the negative psychological impacts of functional disability. Gender's influence on mental health in pediatric hEDS is also explored. Thirty-four youth with pediatric hEDS recruited from a United States Midwest multidisciplinary genetics clinic completed self-report questionnaires. Results demonstrate associations between functional disability and mental health, and social support and mental health independently; however, moderation was not found.
