Do family members disrupt care when present during invasive procedures?
In this study, family members remaining with children during invasive procedures were not a risk for disruption of patient care.
Our findings suggest that individuals with different education or income levels may evaluate their health differently with respect to the traditional five-point SRH scale, and hence their subjective health ratings may not be directly comparable. These results have important implications for research that tries to quantify and explain socioeconomic inequalities in health based on self-rated health.
