I need articles that discuss the effect of the patents' anxiety on the
length of stay of their children in the hospital. Presumably there is
some correlation (i.e. the children sense their parents' anxiety and
take longer to heal)

Hello,

I have found 1 journal article the discusses parents present during
child proceedures and talks shortly about parents in relation to
children staying in the hospital and anxiety. However, it states that
prents calm the children and it goes better.

Would things like this be of interest to you, or only information that
says it increases a child's anxiety?

I need articles that discuss the correlation between the parents'
anxiety and the length of stay of their children in the hospital. I am
talking of the parents' anxiety and not the children anxiety.

So, whatever you could clarify for us here would be great. The more
information you can write down for us to understand this, the better.

I cannot clarify it any better. Sorry. Any clarification will be a
repeat of what I already said.
