Nowadays, doctors put mental health at a prior place and pay more attention to the psychological problems of ill kids' parents. In our research, we try to find a new modern and efficient psychological counseling mode to improve the mentality of parents and relieve their anxiety and depression.

A doctor send the useful information about kids care and answer questions of parents at regular time every month. The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) scores of parents are marked before and after the long follow up.
