Parents caring for a child with gastroesophageal reflux are at risk for impaired home maintenance management because of the challenges they face such as the emotional impact, financial concerns, and difficulty maintaining the strict regime. Nursing interventions related to family education and support assist the families in becoming knowledgeable and compliant while fostering normal growth and development.
