This study explored parents' experiences in caring for children with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) health problems. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study design. The respondents of this study were six parents of Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) patients at the National Heart Institution, Kuala Lumpur. Data collection was done through interviews, observations and documentation. Data were analyzed using thematic techniques. The sampling used was purposive sampling. The findings of the study found that all respondents have a clear understanding of the health care for children with VSD heart problems. The results show that there are three main themes, namely: (i) the role of parents on children's health care, (ii) pressure experienced by parents on the healthcare of children and (iii) challenges for parents on children's healthcare. Implications of this study focus in detail on parents and society. Parents should play an important role of parents on children's healthcare. All parental behaviour will be an example in their part of taking care welfare of the children. Society is also an important element to correct their perception of VSD patients. This study suggests that it will be important to improve this theme for future studies. Thus, through the success of the findings of the study, it has given a new knowledge to parents, the community and for future studies to be used as a guide.
