Summary
This study clarifies Child-friendly Healthcare (CFH) by defining its core attributes and implications for pediatric patient care. It provides a framework for child-centered practices to enhance healthcare quality and outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Nursing
- Healthcare Quality Improvement
- Child Health Services
Background:
- Child-friendly Healthcare (CFH) lacks a universally agreed-upon definition and clear attributes.
- Understanding CFH is crucial for optimizing pediatric patient care and outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a conceptual analysis of Child-friendly Healthcare (CFH) using Walker and Avant's framework.
- To clarify the meaning, attributes, antecedents, and consequences of CFH.
- To explore the implications of CFH for clinical nursing practice and pediatric healthcare.
Main Methods:
- Walker and Avant's conceptual analysis method was employed.
- A scoping review of 37 articles from diverse sources was conducted.
- Analysis included defining attributes, identifying model/contrary cases, and examining empirical referents.
Main Results:
- CFH is characterized by five key attributes: prioritizing child interests, child-friendly environments, social interaction, child participation, and development facilitation.
- Antecedents and consequences of CFH were identified.
- A comprehensive understanding of CFH was established.
Conclusions:
- The conceptual analysis clarified CFH, offering insights for child-centered healthcare practices.
- CFH can serve as a framework to enhance the quality of care for pediatric patients.
- This analysis supports improved patient outcomes, institutional development, and future research in child healthcare.
