Insights

Pediatric patients have varied experiences with family-centered rounds (FCR), offering unique insights into this inpatient practice. Understanding patient perspectives is crucial for optimizing FCR effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Healthcare
  • Patient Experience Research
  • Inpatient Medicine

Background:

  • Family-centered rounds (FCR) are recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for inpatient settings.
  • Limited research exists on pediatric patients' attitudes towards FCR.
  • This study explores patient perspectives on their FCR experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate pediatric patients' views on family-centered rounds.
  • To understand patient experiences with FCR in the inpatient setting.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative descriptive study utilizing 22 semi-structured interviews.
  • Inclusion of English-speaking inpatients aged 7-18 years who participated in FCR.
  • Analysis of transcripts using a constant comparative method with independent reviewer verification.

Main Results:

  • Five main themes emerged: team size, medical team interactions, FCR content, expectation setting, and timing/location.
  • Patients reported a spectrum of positive, negative, and neutral impressions regarding FCR.

Conclusions:

  • Patient feedback provides novel perspectives on FCR, distinct from those of healthcare professionals and parents.
  • Future research on bedside rounding should integrate patient viewpoints for a comprehensive evaluation.
