The results of the Wilcoxon test showed that the difference between pre and post stress in the control group was ???? = 0.004 and the intervention group was ???? = 0.001, because the ???? value <0.05, it can be concluded that there was a significant difference between pre and post stress in the control and intervention groups. The results of the Chi Square test obtained a ???? =0.001 (???? -value <0.05). Family centered care is effective in reducing children's stress levels due to hospitalization and is expected to be applied in hospitals and health services to increase family satisfaction and quality of service in hospitals.
