This systematic review of 12 studies identified several factors influencing parents’ perspectives on pediatric patient safety in hospital settings, such as parental engagement and communication abilities and difficulties. The authors conclude that parents need to be treated as valuable partners but require support and improved communication from healthcare professionals to ensure the safety of their children.
