According to literature, it's difficult to evaluate the impact of the visit of the child in ICU. Currently, no recommendations are available regarding welcome and accompany children who visit their relative hospitalized in ICU. Collaboration between humanities and medical sciences brings to this question a complementary look. Majority of studies investigated the question of the impact of young child ICU visit in a unidirectional linear causality scheme visit = psychopathological impact. The visit of the child in ICU should not be considered as an isolated event whose objective characteristics would be alone vectors of trauma. Contrary, the child visit must be apprehended in relation to the quality of the supports on which the child can count. The investigators hypothesize that children can overcome the visit of a kin hospitalized in ICU if accompanying people can support the child and contain, before and after the visit, the emotions of the child.
