dc.description.abstractA phenomenological approach was used to explore the lived experience of hope in parents of critically ill children. Three mothers who had seriously ill children in a pediatric intensive care unit participated in the study unfolding rich descriptions of their experience. Interviews were audio-tape recorded and an adaption of Colazzi's eightstep method was used to analyze the data. Five major theme categories were identified which include coming to terms with having a critically ill child, the struggle, strategies to sustain hope, the changing faces of hope, and taking in and sifting through: moving toward acceptance. An essential structure was developed. Hope is described as a crucial dynamic force which parents clung to and fought for throughout the experience.en_US
