Summary
A new instructional framework helps healthcare professionals support parents during pediatric resuscitation. This evidence-based approach reduces parental stress and enhances family-centered care in critical situations.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric critical care
- Family-centered care
- Healthcare professional training
Background:
- Supporting parents is crucial in pediatric settings, aligning with family-centered care principles.
- Current evidence-based guidelines for supporting parents during pediatric resuscitation are insufficient.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate an instructional framework for healthcare professionals.
- The framework aims to guide support for parents before, during, and after pediatric resuscitation.
Main Methods:
- A sequential exploratory mixed-methods design was used.
- Phase 1 involved qualitative interviews, systematic reviews, and Delphi rounds to identify parental needs.
- Phase 2 focused on developing an evidence-based instructional framework, followed by quantitative evaluation in Phase 3.
Main Results:
- An instructional framework with 138 items was developed, covering support before, during, and after resuscitation (successful and unsuccessful).
- Implementation of the framework led to reduced acute stress in parents.
- Health professionals reported improved perceptions of family-centered care.
Conclusions:
- An instructional framework for supporting parents during pediatric resuscitation can be beneficial in clinical practice.
- Standardized, evidence-based training enhances parental well-being and family-centered care in acute settings.
- Understanding parental needs and support preferences is key to implementing family-centered care during resuscitation.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation I: Adult

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is a life-saving emergency procedure performed when a person's heart has stopped beating or they are no longer breathing. The foundation of CPR is Basic Life Support (BLS), which focuses on the early recognition of cardiac arrest, the immediate start of high-quality chest compressions, and the timely use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).Assessing Responsiveness and Checking the Carotid PulseWhen approaching an unresponsive person, first ensure...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation III: AED Use
497
Introduction to AEDAn Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electrical shock to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, leading to a loss of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. In such emergencies, time is of the essence, and using an AED, combined with Cardiopulmonary...

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
