“…[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Much of the early work focused on hospitals; for example, as research emerged about the effects of separating hospitalized children from their families, many institutions adopted policies that welcomed family members to be with their child around the clock and also encouraged their presence during medical procedures. The Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the Health Resources and Service Administration played an active role in furthering the involvement of families and the support of family issues and service needs.…”

Drawing on several decades of work with families, pediatricians, other health care professionals, and policy makers, the American Academy of Pediatrics provides a definition of patient-and family-centered care. In pediatrics, patient-and family-centered care is based on the understanding that the family is the child' s primary source of strength and support. Further, this approach to care recognizes that the perspectives and information provided by families, children, and young adults are essential components of high-quality clinical decision-making, and that patients and family are integral partners with the health care team. This policy statement outlines the core principles of patient-and familycentered care, summarizes some of the recent literature linking patient-and family-centered care to improved health outcomes, and lists various other benefits to be expected when engaging in patient-and family-centered pediatric practice. The statement concludes with specific recommendations for how pediatricians can integrate patient-and family-centered care in hospitals, clinics, and community settings, and in broader systems of care, as well.

“…The development of this thinking can be traced back to the 1950s when theories of attachment were applied to parent-child separations following admissions to hospital (Bowlby, 1971;Robertson, 1958). These research findings and the Platt Report ( 1959) promoted changes in hospital policies concerning children.…”

This paper describes the integration of structural family therapy and systemic consultation into an in‐patient paediatric unit. Two case examples illustrate the approach used. It is concluded that six stages are involved in the successful integration of a systemic approach: planning and convening an initial staff meeting, developing a structural hypothesis, enlisting hierarchical support in the ward system, holding the family meeting, reconvening the professional team and disengaging the family and ward system.

“…Forty-three need statements are listed in the NPQ, referring to six basic need categories: parents' need to be able to trust doctors and nurses, need for information, needs related to other family members, need to feel that they are trusted, needs related to human and physical resources and need for support and guidance (10). The NPQ contains three sub-questionnaires, A, B and C. In Part A, parents ranked the importance of each need statement by choosing 'very important' [score of 41, 'important' [3], 'somewhat important' [2], 'not important' [l] or 'does not concern me' [O]. In Part B, parents were asked about the extent to which they perceive their needs were met, ranked as 'fully' [2], 'to some extent' [l], or 'not at all' [O].…”

In part C, parents were asked about whether they would need help from the hospital to meet each particular need or not.…”

The purpose of this study was to identify the extent to which parents of 2-12-year-old hospitalized children perceive their needs to be met in paediatric units, what variables influence parents' perception, and whether parents need help from the hospital to meet their needs. Parents perceived that most of their needs were met fully or to some extent. The need to be able to stay with the child 24 h a day was perceived as fully met by all parents. Needs perceived as important but poorly met were as follows: written information about the child's health status, information about financial assistance and follow-up after discharge. Independent variables identified as being related to the extent to which individual needs were met were as follows: parents' age (p < or = 0.05), distance between home and hospital (p < or = 0.05), parents' education (p < or = 0.05), length of hospital stay (p < or = 0.01) and severity of child's illness (p < or = 0.01). Most parents perceived that they needed help from the hospital to meet their needs. These findings call for identification of effective interventions to meet parents' needs.
