“…Children who participate in their own care may also experience less pain and discomfort than children who are not involved (Grahn et al, 2016). Involving family members in providing essential physical, social, and emotional support in pediatric emergency care is also associated with improvements in children's recovery and health outcomes (Brysiewicz, 2017).…”

Child- and family-centered care (CFCC) is being increasingly adopted internationally as a fundamental philosophical approach to the design, delivery, and evaluation of children’s services in diverse primary and acute health care contexts. CFCC has yet to be explored in the context of families and children whose health and health care is likely to be compromised by multifaceted social and structural factors, including racialization, material deprivation, and historically entrenched power imbalances. To date, an equity orientation for CFCC has not been examined or developed. This is a critical area of inquiry, given the increasing evidence that children in families who face such inequities have poor health outcomes. This article examines dominant discourses on CFCC in the context of families and children who are at greater risk of health inequities in wealthy countries, drawing on Canada as a useful example. It outlines an evidence-based approach to equity-oriented care that the authors contend has the potential to orient CFCC toward equity and provide greater clarity in the conceptualization, implementation, measurement, and evaluation of CFCC in ways that can benefit all families and children including those who have typically been excluded from research.

It is very important to find ways to meet the needs of patients' family members and to control their anxiety. This study aims to identify the needs and anxiety levels of family members of critically-ill adult patients in emergency departments (ED). Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in the adult ED of a training and research hospital in Turkey. In order to collect data, we conducted face-to-face interviews with family members of critically-ill patients. The "Critical Care Family Needs Inventory-Emergency Department" (CCFNI-ED) and the "Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Scale" (STAI-S) were also used to identify the needs and the anxiety levels of the family members. Results: The average age of the participants was 40.81±13.32 years. Of the participants (n=172), 61.6% (n=106) were female. CCFNI-ED results showed that eight of the ten needs expressed by family members were related to communication. Overall anxiety level of the family members was 49.67%. Additionally, a statistically significant correlation was found between being female and STAI-S scores (t=2.41, p=0.01). 18.6% of family members expressed that their needs were unmet, while 29.1% of the participants stated that their needs were met. Conclusions: This study found no significant correlations between the scores obtained from STAI-S and CCFNI-ED. However, a statistically significant correlation was found between being female and STAI-S scores of relatives. Health professionals should take the higher anxiety levels of female family members into consideration, and they should pay attention to the needs of patients' relatives in order to manage their anxiety.

“…Instalasi gawat darurat (IGD) merupakan gerbang utama masuknya penderita gawat darurat dirumah sakit. Selain itu IGD merupakan lingkungan perawatan yang unik dimana tim kesehatan, pasien dan keluarga dihadapkan dengan kejadian yang tidak terduga setiap waktunya terhadap kondisi pasien (Hsiao et al, 2016) (Meghan & Langley, 2015) Sakit dan sehatnya anggota keluarga akan berdampak pada keluarga yang lainnya (Brysiewicz & Emmamally, 2017) Hal ini dapat mempengaruhi keluarga dalam mengambil keputusan (decision making) untuk menentukan tindakan medis yang akan dilakukan pada pasien. Masalah tersebut juga bisa mempengaruhi peran keluarga sebagai supporting system dalam proses penanganan tindakan selama di IGD (Redley & Beanland, 2004) Hasil studi pendahuluan yang dilakukan peneliti didapatkan data Jumlah kedatangan pasien ke IGD RSUD Dr.Moewardi Surakarta dalam tiga bulan terakhir (November 2017-Januari 2018) adalah 7.035 pasien dengan rata-rata 2.345 pasien.…”

The patient's condition and the environment of the Emergency Installation (ER) that are unique can affect the psychological condition of the patient's family. This causes the emergence of psychological problems in the patient's family, such as anxiety, stress, and depression, these problems can affect the role of the family as a supporting system of patients in the process of handling actions while in the ER. These problems can be minimized by fulfilling family needs while in the ER to accompany the patient. The purpose of this study is to find out the description of the patient's family needs in the emergency room. This research is a descriptive quantitative study with a survey approach, with the research instrument in the form of a CCFNI-ED questionnaire. Respondents numbered 96 patient families obtained through convenience sampling techniques. The results of this study indicate that family needs which according to the family are important to fulfill are communication needs followed by understandable needs, support needs, comfort needs and needs close to the patient. Communication needs are considered the most important needs needed by the patient's family while in the emergency room. This research is expected to be a source of reference for the nursing profession in meeting family needs while in the emergency room, so it is expected to increase the family's role in healing patients.
