it possible for the industry to provide better services

Another group of
children, who are Technological- dependent, relate to children with disabilities (Cockett,
2012)

To cut on costs hospitals have transferred their care technology to homes and
community

individuals living with kidney disease wish to have a normal life

On the
other hand, such children reveals into perspective that the society relates to them as disabled

homes and pediatric care homes

the treatment of ailments

care or on specific occasions
...
Despite the fact that they have to transact their normal chores, they need to
provide care to their child
...
The other groups of children depending on technology may not have the freedom
to participate in family chores
...

To move children from the hospital setting to homes means moving them from
professionals to untrained individuals
...
Technology-dependent
children in hospitals receive care in shifts and in the intensive care units (Cockett, 2012)
...
Such influences may lead to burnouts as well as psychological problems for home
based caregivers
...

socials skills

Such homes have been instrumental in assisting
children develop their self-identities (Cockett, 2012)

Children in pediatric homes additionally get an
opportunity to build human relationships as well construct meaning of life
...

undergo many mental, physical, emotional and financial difficulties (Mendes, 2013)
...
Of

...
Such challenges may have
an adverse health effect on caregivers
...
Since the provision of care to this group of children is an
ongoing process, parents face emotional challenges
...
Another important aspect
influencing parents is the probability of role ambiguity
...

Erik Erikson provides various perspectives on Children development
...

postulates that individuals need to overcome psychological challenges (Dereli-İman, 2014)
...
According to the philosopher, the conflicting concepts include trust vs
...

Integrity Vs despair
...
The other
perspective includes initiative against guilt as well as inferiority against industry
...
Such initiatives will
involve the development of children’s confidence in development (Dereli-İman, 2014)
