Description
Summary:PURPOSE.  The purpose of this integrative review is to synthesize nursing scholarship on parent–child relationships considered fragile because of parent/child's chronic condition or occurrence within a risky context. CONCLUSIONS.  Most reviewed studies demonstrated negative effects of risk conditions on parent–child relationships and documented importance of child, parent, and contextual variables. Studies were predominately single investigations. Varying theoretical perspectives complicated interpretation. Mainly White, middle‐class, and small samples limited generalizability. Important areas for further research were identified. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS.  Nurse researchers identified factors that may interfere with the parent–child relationship. Nurses are in a position to support families under these circumstances.
