Feedback:
Factors that ease parental adjustment to a child's long-term illness include having a strong religious faith, having a good relationship with their parents, having support people available such as siblings, and having a good marital bond. Having concerns about missing work and having enough money for medical care are not findings that will help the parents adjust to their newborn's long-term illness.
