Development of a Formalized Pediatric Visitation Program in the PACU Through Evidence-Based Practice
Summary
A new pediatric visitation program reunites families with children during Phase I care, addressing inconsistent nursing practices. This initiative supports family-centered care and may be replicated in other settings.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Pediatric Care
- Family-Centered Care
Background:
- National trends and professional guidelines support family visitation during Phase I periAnesthesia care.
- Inconsistent implementation of visitation policies was observed at the institution.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess nurses' attitudes and beliefs regarding family-centered care.
- To develop and implement a formalized pediatric visitation program.
Main Methods:
- A survey evaluated nurses' attitudes and beliefs about family-centered care.
- Education was provided to nurses and families.
- The visitation program incorporated updated policies, technological support for communication, and an educational pamphlet.
Main Results:
- A pediatric visitation program was successfully developed and implemented.
- The program effectively reunites families with their children while providing support for nursing staff.
Conclusions:
- The developed visitation program enhances family-centered care in the periAnesthesia setting.
- Replication of this program in other periAnesthesia or applicable settings is recommended.

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT.
