Paediatric medical care teams should consider the challenges to QoL experienced by parents of children with SCII. Parents reporting acute stress symptoms during the acute-illness phase should be prioritised for intervention. Further, parent-dyads presenting at post-acute care settings reporting poor emotional resources would benefit from psychosocial and educative support.
