o explore and identify risk factors associated with stress and uncertainty among Taiwanese parents of chil-

dren with tracheobronchial malacia (TBM) and tracheabronchostenosis (TBS) in a pediatric intensive care

unit. An increasing number of children are undergoing flexible bronchoscopy due to tracheobronchial malacia

and stenosis but there is little research related to their parents’ stress and uncertainty. A cross-sectional study

design was implemented using two psychometric scales; Parenting Stress Index and Parents’ Perception of

Uncertainty Scale. Parents of Taiwanese children (0–18y/o) with a diagnosis of TBM or/and TBS who underwent

bronchoscopy in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) were recruited. Analysis used descriptive statistics and

multivariable linear regression (GEE).
