The finding of an evaluative study of an experimental pediatric unit in which routine nursing care is accomplished by parent and physician, effects of hospitalization on the patient and his family, and the impact of the unit on medical students. In general, both parents and physicians were satisfied with the communications but “errors” were uncovered, especially in regard to the child's diagnosis, prognosis, and after-care. Also, parents were pleased with their other experiences on the unit and with the opportunity it provided for them to stay with their children. Disruptions of family life were minimal. Most medical students expressed approval of the unit as a care facility and preferred it to the more traditional pediatric ward as a teaching experience
