“…2,3 In that reality, the evidences suggest that the units are integrated to the principles of the FCC, although the level of professional knowledge can vary according to the specific competencies of each service or even with the presence of continuing education programs. 2 Also, point out the relevance of the evaluation of services that practice FCC to maintain this care philosophy in the units. The aim is to identify the strengths and weaknesses, allowing improvements in assistance from the suggestions made by patients and their families.…”

“…1 Its application is intended for patients of all ages and can be practiced in any health care setting, including in emergency units. 2,3 By recognizing the importance of family in the life of the patient, it is allowed for it to assist in the modulation of government policies and health programs, to develop institutional projects, norms and routines; to assess the health care; and how the everyday interaction between professionals, patients and families is directed. 1 Health professionals who perform in their practice care centered in the family, recognize the vital role of the family core in maintaining the health and well-being of its members.…”

Cuidado centrado na família em unidades emergenciais: percepção de enfermeiros e médicos brasileirosCuidado centrado en la familia en unidades de urgencias: percepción de enfermeros y médicos brasileños Mayckel AbstrActObjective: To know the perception of doctors and nurses working in Emergency Care Units (ECU, in Brazil known as "UPA") on Family Centered Care (FCC). Methods: Descriptive study with qualitative approach conducted in two emergency units in Southern Brazil. Participated 32 health professionals, whose speeches were recorded, transcribed and subjected to content analysis. Results: The majority of respondents was unaware of the FCC, however, perceived it as a practice which values the family presence and allows its insertion in care. Many believed to be difficult to implement the FCC in Brazilian UPA, due to professional unpreparedness on the subject, high numbers and turnover of patients, the small physical space and socio-cultural profile of the population served. Conclusion: There is an urge for discussion of this care reference with managers and professionals, so that gradually, and to the extent of its possibilities, care to families in emergency units is expanded. Participaron 32 profesionales, cuyos discursos fueron grabados y transcritos para posteriormente ser analizados a través de análisis de contenido. Resultados: La mayoría de los participantes desconocía el CCF, pero lo percibía como una práctica que valora la presencia de la familia y permite su inserción en el cuidado. Muchos expresaron la dificultad de implementar el CCF en las UCU de Brasil, debido a la falta de preparación profesional, el alto flujo de pacientes, falta de estructura física y el perfil socio-cultural de la población. Conclusiones: Se considera necesario que tanto los gerentes como los profesionales conozcan el marco conceptual del CCF para promover la implantación de prácticas centradas en la familia en UCU.

“…In a related study, Eckle and MacLean (2001) reported that emergency rooms with family-centered care policies and in-house training were more likely to have personnel engage in family-centered behaviors. As the theory of planned behavior posits, if health professionals feel supported by their administrators (subjective norm component) and the hospital has the tools in place to facilitate family-centered care (perceived behavioral control), then these professionals are more likely to demonstrate family-centered care behaviors.…”

“…Research has demonstrated that therapists working in family-centered care organizations are more likely to engage in care and intervention that reflects this philosophy. There is evidence that the opposite is also true (e.g., Bruce et al, Eckle & MacLean, 2001). Researchers are continuing to explore stakeholders' attitudes in order to facilitate positive attitudes and behaviors in the family-centered care milieu (Hamilton et al, 2003;Hostler, 1999).…”

“…Organizational culture can influence and determine the family-centered care attitudes and behaviors of staff working in an organization. Numerous studies (Bruce et al, 2002, Eckle & MacLean, 2001Gessinger et al, 1993;Humphry et al, 1992;Hostler, 1999;Letourneau & Elliot, 1996), show that respondents working in family-centered care cultures, such as early intervention centers, display more familycentered attitudes than respondents working in non family-centered cultures. Several factors may explain this finding.…”
