Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nursing
  • Healthcare Concept Analysis

Background:

  • Family-centered care is crucial in pediatric nursing but lacks a universally agreed-upon definition.
  • Existing literature shows a lack of consensus on the meaning and operationalization of family-centered care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the concept of family-centered care using established theoretical models.
  • To identify the antecedents, attributes, and consequences of family-centered care in pediatric nursing.
  • To explore practical applications and propose models for operationalizing family-centered care.

Main Methods:

  • Employed Rodgers' evolutionary model of concept analysis and Schwartz-Barcott and Kim's hybrid model.
  • Utilized a qualitative survey (1994/1995) and questionnaire data for fieldwork.
  • Conducted a dispositional analysis of the family-centered care concept.

Main Results:

  • Identified key antecedents and attributes of family-centered care.
  • Highlighted a lack of clarity regarding the consequences of family-centered care.
  • Developed two alternative models of family-centered care, linked to partnership, participation, and parental care.

Conclusions:

  • The study did not define family-centered care but explored its practical utility.
  • Proposed tentative models and a hierarchy for family-centered care require further testing by practitioners.
  • Emphasized the need for real-world evaluation to refine the operationalization of family-centered care.
