Resident duty hours: Families’ knowledge and perceptions in the paediatric intensive care unit

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Resident duty hours remain a controversial topic in the literature. Competing interests include patient safety, resident education, and resident well-being. No studies, however, have sought family members' perspectives on duty hours in the paediatric context. This study aimed to explore family members' knowledge of trainee duty hours, and their perspectives on the balance between shift duration and hand-off frequency.
