Measure	Time frame
Parents Readiness for Discharge. In this study we will use PedRHDS form for Parents of Hospitalized Children (including NICU) that consist of 29 (23) items in 5 subscales including: Parent Personal status = 1a,2a,3a,4a,5a,6?a, 6b,7a (8 items); (items 2a, 5a, 6b should be reverse scored), Child Personal status = ?b,?b,?b,?b,?b (? items): (item ?b should be reverse scored), Knowledge = 8 to 16 (9 items), Coping Ability = 17-19 (3 items) and Expected Support = 20-23 (4 items). Scores are calculated by adding item scores and dividing by the number of items, thus calculating the RHDS score as the mean of item scores. The possible range of scores is 0 to 10 using this method. This approach applies to total scale and subscale scores. Timepoint: one week after intervention. Method of measurement: The data will be gathered by using questionnaire (PedRHDS form).	—
