Abstract		This article emphasizes the importance of the role of health education of the parents of children with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. Children undergo gastrostomy because of to their inability to eat or be fed by mouth. Usually these are children with neurological disorders, who are completely dependent on the help and care of their parents. During hospitalisation the child's parents are present at all times with their child so that they learn to take care of the child at home. They receive information about feeding, skin care and possible complications and are actively included in all phases of the health care process. It is important that children with gastrostomy and their parents are managed by a team of specialists: gastroenterologist, nursing sister, dietician, and, if necessary, a psychologist. At discharge children with gastrostomy and their parents can feel very unsure, because it is not easy to leave the protective environment of the hospital, where help is available 24 hours a day. Good education of the parents is therefore essential and contributes to a more successful return of the child to his home environment.
Summary		Prispevek poudarja pomembnost vloge zdravstvene vzgoje staršev otrok s perkutano endoskopsko gastrostomo. Otroci imajo vstavljeno gastrostomo zaradi neprehranljivosti. Največkrat so to otroci z nevrološko okvaro, ki zaradi svoje nesamostojnosti potrebujejo popolno pomoč in oskrbo staršev. Starši so v času hospitalizacije otroka ves čas prisotni, da jih lahko usposobimo za samostojno nego otroka v domačem okolju. Seznanimo jih o hranjenju, negi kože, o možnih zapletih in jih čim prej aktivno vključimo v vse faze procesa zdravstvene nege. Pomembno je, da otroke z gastrostomo in njihove starše v bolnišnici obravnava tim strokovnjakov: zdravnik gastroenterolog, medicinska sestra, dietetik, po potrebi tudi psiholog. Ob odpustu se lahko otroci s perkutano endoskopsko gastrostomo in njihovi starši počutijo zelo negotovo, kajti ni enostavno zapustiti zaščitniškega, bolnišničnega okolja, kjer je pomoč ves čas na voljo. Dobra vzgoja staršev je zelo pomembna, saj pripomore k bolj kakovostni vključitvi otroka v domače okolje.
