About this trial
The care for a child in pediatric intensive care is recognized as a traumatic experience for the patient and their entourage. The needs and feelings of parents are relatively well supported in the literature. However, there is still too little data concerning siblings, who can nevertheless be impacted by this difficult life experience. The study consists of conducting two semi-structured interviews with siblings of children hospitalized in pediatric intensive care at Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital and Robert Debré Hospital. The first interview will take place during the stay in intensive care, the second one 1 month after discharge from pediatric intensive care.
