Insights

This scoping review examines parental involvement in infant-centred and family-centred developmental care (IFCDC) in intensive care. It assesses parental satisfaction and challenges in implementing IFCDC globally.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Intensive Care
  • Developmental Pediatrics
  • Family-Centered Care

Background:

  • Infant-centred and family-centred developmental care (IFCDC) emphasizes holistic infant well-being, addressing developmental and emotional needs.
  • Parental involvement is a core IFCDC principle, linked to improved long-term outcomes for infants and caregivers.
  • Specialized intensive care settings present unique contexts for implementing IFCDC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review on parental satisfaction with IFCDC.
  • To identify challenges in parental involvement within IFCDC in specialized intensive care.
  • To assess the global implementation of IFCDC's parental involvement principle.

Main Methods:

  • Adherence to the methodological framework by Khalil et al. and Joanna Briggs Institute.
  • Systematic literature search of papers published between 2014 and 2025 in PubMed (MEDLINE).
  • Independent screening of titles, abstracts, and full texts by two reviewers, with conflict resolution by a third reviewer.

Main Results:

  • Analysis and summarization of key findings from eligible papers.
  • Focus on parental satisfaction metrics and reported challenges.
  • Synthesis of global implementation data regarding parental involvement in IFCDC.

Conclusions:

  • The review will provide insights into parental experiences within IFCDC.
  • Findings will highlight barriers and facilitators to parental engagement in neonatal intensive care.
  • Results will inform the refinement and broader application of IFCDC principles globally.

Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting

Documentation in long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings is crucial for ensuring continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive care for patients. Each setting has its specific documentation processes and tools:

Parental Care00:55

Parental Care

Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Socioemotional Development during Infancy01:30

Socioemotional Development during Infancy

Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

Parenting Styles01:27

Parenting Styles

Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.

The Nativist Approach01:21

The Nativist Approach

The nativist approach to infant cognitive development proposes that infants are born with inherent knowledge structures that allow them to interpret the world almost immediately. This perspective contrasts with earlier developmental theories, such as those proposed by Jean Piaget, which emphasized a more gradual acquisition of cognitive abilities through interaction with the environment. One key concept in this approach is object permanence — the understanding that objects continue to...
