A novel discharge preparation intervention delivered by nurses to parents of hospitalized children who are being discharged home was developed based on previous research conducted by the investigators. The intervention is grounded in the individual and family self-management Theory. To test the impact of the intervention on discharge preparation process and parent outcomes, the investigators will conduct a pilot trial implementation using trained staff nurses to deliver the intervention. To measure the effects of the intervention a difference- in-differences approach with be used with selection of 200 parents with 50 in each of 4 groups: Baseline control 1 (parents assigned for usual care to study nurses before training on the use of the intervention); Baseline control group 2 ( parent assigned for usual care to other than study nurses); Implementation group ( parents assigned to study nurses who will receive the intervention); Concurrent control group ( parent assigned to other than study nurses). The study will be conducted on two nursing units and half of the sample will be selected from each unit using a random selection procedure.
