Abstract

Family-centered care (FCC) purports that unlimited presence and involvement of the family in the care of the hospitalized child will optimize the best outcome for the child, family, and institution. A systematic appraisal was conducted of peer-reviewed, English-language, primary quantitative research conducted within a pediatric critical care setting reported from 1998 to 2014. The aim of this review was to explore the parents’, hospitalized child’s, and health care providers’ perception of FCC within pediatric critical care. Fifty-nine articles met the criteria that generated themes of stress, communication, and parents’ and children’s needs. This review highlighted that communication tailored to meet the parents’ and child’s needs is the key to facilitating FCC and positive health outcomes. Health care providers need to be available to provide clinical expertise and support throughout the health care journey. Future initiatives, education, and research are needed to evaluate the benefits of parent- and child-led FCC practice.
