The experience of staff members of a children's hospital, as presented in ward or staff groups, is considered. Staff meetings were initiated to share work-related concerns and feelings engendered by caring for hospitalized children. Significant stresses experienced by staff are described, and successful coping patterns are identified.Keywords
