Family-centered care (FCC) is a hallmark of high-quality care in intensive care units (ICUs), yet consistent implementation remains challenging. This umbrella review evaluated recent literature on FCC interventions and their influence on patient outcomes across ICU settings. FCC interventions improved infant feeding, weight gain, and reduced length of stay (LOS); reduced complications in children; and decreased delirium and LOS in adults. However, evidence strength varied, with some studies reporting mixed or minimal effects. Variability in findings highlights the need for further research using standardized measures. Overall, FCC shows promise in improving ICU patient outcomes; policies supporting implementation are needed.
