Abstract

Purpose: In contemporary healthcare, the paradigm of family-centered care has emerged as a pivotal framework within the realm of pediatric nursing. This review aims to explore various family-centered care models in pediatric nursing to determine their effectiveness in improving patient outcomes.

Method: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in databases, including PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science. The search strategy utilized a combination of keywords related to "family-centered care," "pediatric nursing," and "effectiveness." The inclusion criteria were studies published in English, on family-centered care models in pediatric nursing, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-experimental studies, observational studies, and systematic reviews/meta-analyses, studies reporting outcomes related to patient and family satisfaction, clinical outcomes, and quality of care. The exclusion criteria were studies not related to family-centered care in pediatric nursing, non-English language publications without available translations, case reports, editorials, letters, and opinion pieces, studies lacking clear methodology or reporting. A narrative synthesis conducted to summarize findings from included studies.

Results: The synthesis of findings from the systematic review underscores the positive impact of family-centered care models in pediatric nursing. The evidence consistently suggests that the implementation of such models contributes to improved patient outcomes, heightened family engagement, and an overall enhancement of the quality of care. The diversity in family-centered care models, as identified in the selected studies, highlights the adaptability of these frameworks to various healthcare settings and patient populations.

Conclusion: This systematic review contributes valuable insights to the evolving landscape of pediatric nursing, emphasizing the importance of family involvement in care decisions. As healthcare institutions continue to strive for patient-centered and family-oriented care, the findings of this review provide a foundation for further research, policy development, and the continuous improvement of pediatric healthcare delivery.
