Understanding their life situation is essential for delivering effective family-centred and holistic healthcare. The study aimed to assess the life situation of parents of children with CHD in relation to sociodemographic factors and to explore their sources of support, emotional experiences, and the role of spirituality in coping.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1047951126113572_as2\">\n                    <jats:title>Materials and method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A web-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 117 parents of children with CHD in the Slovak Republic.
