Objective This article employs a scoping review methodology, integrates knowledge and information about current pediatric nurses' practices and perceptions regarding family-centered care in pediatric settings. Methods Published articles were retrieved from databases including EBSCO host, PubMed, Springer, Science Direct, Ovid, and CINAHL between 2013 and 2023. Results The finding shows a better understanding of pediatric nurses' perceptions of family-centered care in association with their clinical settings. However, the evidence indicates that integrating family-centered care components into health care services is difficult and confusing to nurses and is often not implemented in a clinical setting. As evidenced by this review, studies have consistently reported similar results; family-centered care was a good perception and understood by pediatric nurses as a concept but inconsistently used in a daily practice setting. Conclusions This scoping review is the first phase in promoting a strategic plan to provide educational interventions for pediatric nurses to implement family-centered care in their daily practice settings. It's necessary to recognize pediatric nurses' perceptions and practices concerning family-centered care to provide optimal healthcare services in pediatric settings.

Investigating Child Care Subsidy: What Are We Buying?

SPN Position Statement: Transition of Pediatric Patients Into Adult Care

Sleep is critical to a child's health and well-being, but children are likely to sleep less and be awakened more often during the night in the hospital than at home. To date no studies have compared caregiver, nurse, and physician perspectives of nighttime sleep disruptions in the pediatric general medicine setting. Our aim was to assess caregiver, nurse, and physician perspectives on the most frequent in-hospital disruptors of sleep for pediatric patients. Additionally, we evaluated the degree of agreement of those opinions between the caregivers and medical team. Caregivers, nurses, and physicians were surveyed using the Potential Hospital Sleep Disruption and Noises Questionnaire (PHSDNQ) regarding their opinions on factors that disrupt sleep. Caregiver responses were collected via a convenience sample of patients hospitalized from February to August 2017 and hospital staff was surveyed once regarding overall perception. The perceived percentage of patients disrupted by each factor was calculated and compared among groups using chi-square tests. Using caregiver rank order based on mean response as the reference gold standard, the absolute differences of nurse and physician rank orders were summed and analyzed using a two-sample test of proportion. In addition, staff was asked knowledge and empowerment questions about how to maximize patient sleep in the hospital and responses were compared using chi-square tests. A total of 162 caregivers, 77 nurses (84% response rate), and 81 physicians (90% response rate) completed surveys. Checking vital signs (50%), nurse/physician interruption (49%), and continuous pulse oximetry (38%) were the three most prevalent disruptors of pediatric inpatient sleep as reported by caregivers. Significant differences were observed between caregiver, nurse, and physician responses for pain, anxiety, alarms, noise, and tests (P ≤ .001 for all). Both nurse and physician rank orders were discordant when compared to caregivers; there was no significant difference between the two staff groups. When compared to physicians, nurses reported doing more to help children sleep in the hospital (33% versus 94%, P < .001). Although caregivers report medical interventions such as checking vital signs, nurse/physician interruption, and continuous pulse oximetry as the most frequent disruptors of inpatient pediatric sleep, pediatric staff has poor insight into these disruptions.

Review question/objective The objective of the review is to synthesise the existing evidence on family and/or health providers’ experience of family-centred models of care for hospitalised children aged 0-12 years (excluding premature neonates). (*Some sections of this protocol are adopted or adapted from the Cochrane Systematic Review of family-centred care in hospitalised children 0-12 years (2007)1 and its update (2012)2 and are published here with permission from Wiley. A more detailed discussion of the development of the concept of family-centred care is available in these publications.) This review will consider studies that include hospitalised children aged 0-12 years (but excluding premature neonates), their family and/or health providers. Definitions Child/children: throughout this review, the term 'child' or 'children' is used to include all newborn infants, babies and children up to the age of 12 years being cared for in hospital; and all parts of hospitals that provide a service to children. The definitions of childhood can vary, and age limits are arbitrary. For the purpose of this review the National Library of Medicine's medical subject headings were used to define the age cut off of 12 years. However, we have excluded neonates born prematurely and who are patients in a neonatal intensive or special care nursery, as their requirements for family-centred care, and the ethics and philosophies of care around this particular group, are different to those in a ward/unit where full term infants and children are nursed.40 We have excluded studies about adolescents for similar reasons. Families: throughout the review the following definition of the family will be applied: The family is a basic social unit having as its nucleus two or more persons, irrespective of age, in which each of the following conditions are present: the members are related by blood, or marriage, or adoption, or by a contract which is either explicit or implied;the members communicate with each other in terms of defined social roles such as mother, father, wife, husband, daughter, son, brother, sister, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt; and they adopt or create and maintain common customs and traditions.
