“…We have reported the translation, cultural adaptation and validation of the Dutch EMPATHIC-30 questionnaire into the Australian pediatric critical care, neonatal and pediatric ward areas. We used the standardised translation and cultural adaptation process (16) reported by others evaluating the EMPATHIC questionnaire (19,20) When the results across the 3 clinical areas were combined we found the overall Cronbach α at domain level ranged from 0.70 to 0.82. This reflected the Dutch PICU results which ranged from 0.73 to 0.81 (15) and indicated overall adequate internal consistency.…”

The translated and culturally adapted EMpowerment of PArents in The Intensive Care-30-AUS is a reliable and valid questionnaire to measure parent-reported outcomes in pediatric critical care, pediatric ward, and neonatal hospital settings. Using this questionnaire can provide a framework for a standardized quality improvement approach and identification of best practices across specialties, hospital services and for benchmarking similar health services worldwide.

“…[5] Exploring parental satisfaction related to the domains of family-centred care in the PICU is an important performance indicator of perceptions of PICU care. [10][11][12][13] Latour et al [10] identified six domains in family-centred care, namely: respect; information and education; coordination of care; physical support; emotional support, and involvement of parents. Using these identified domains, Latour et al [14,15] subsequently developed and validated the full and abbreviated versions of the EMpowerment of PArents in THe Intensive Care (EMPATHIC) questionnaire, which evaluates parental satisfaction with the quality of care provided in a PICU.…”

“…[16] The EMPATHIC questionnaire has been used in countries such as Italy, Poland, Spain, Australia, France and Denmark to measure parent satisfaction, but not yet in poorly resourced countries. [13,[17][18][19][20] Although South Africa (SA) was reclassified as an upper middle-income country in 2011, there is substantial diversity in socioeconomic circumstances within the population. In 2011, 22.5% of the SA population lived in informal housing, 26.6% did not have a tap-water facility, 43.0% had no flushing toilets, and 16.3% had no electricity in their homes.…”

Background. The quality of family-centred care in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) has been poorly studied in South Africa (SA). Objective. To explore parents' satisfaction with care in a PICU in SA. Methods. A prospective descriptive survey study was conducted among a convenience sample of 100 parents of children admitted to the PICU for ≥48 hours. Participants completed the EMpowerment of PArents in THe Intensive Care (EMPATHIC-30) questionnaire, which includes 30 closed questions rating satisfaction in different domains and four open-ended questions to qualitatively describe PICU experiences. Results. Of the 100 admissions included in the study, 35% were unplanned and 88% were mechanically ventilated. Parents were very satisfied with the quality of PICU care, with mean scores in all domains reaching ≥5.5 on a 6-point Likert scale. Parents were most satisfied with the professional attitude of PICU staff, whereas the lowest scores were seen in the 'Information' and 'Parental participation' domains. The internal consistency (Cronbach's α) associated with the different domains ranged between 0.25 (Parental participation) and 0.59 (Care and cure). The need for communication and support during the admission period, and the importance of environmental factors, proximity to the child, the attitude of medical staff and social support during the PICU stay emerged as common themes from the responses to the open-ended questions. Conclusion. Although parents were generally well satisfied with the quality of care, improving family involvement and providing adequate information in the PICU can contribute to quality family-centred care.

The purpose of this study was to determine the anxiety levels and needs of those fathers whose children were hospitalized in a pediatric surgery intensive care unit. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with the fathers of children hospitalized in a pediatric surgery intensive care unit in 2016/2017 by using the critical care family needs inventory (CCFNI), and State and Trait Anxiety scale. Setting: Turkey, a university hospital. Results: This study included 113 fathers. The fathers' mean age was 36.6±6.31 years. There was a weak positive correlation between the scores the fathers obtained from the State Anxiety scale and the CCFNI. There was a difference between the fathers' intensive care needs in terms of their education levels. While ''feeling that hospital personnel are attentive to the patient'' was important for 92% of the fathers, ''being sure that as much care as possible is given" was important for 88.5% and ''being informed about the patient at least once a day'' was important for 85.8%. Conclusion: The anxieties and needs of the fathers of the patients staying in a pediatric surgery intensive care unit were high, particularly in those with a low educational level. Health professionals should be aware of the fathers' feelings, needs and stressors so that they can provide interventions specific to fathers.
