  2. Learning Outcomes: • The student will be able to: • Identify elements of family-centered care. • Apply elements to the practice setting. • Describe how to incorporate core concepts into care. • Discuss the definition of “family” as well as various types of families.

  3. Reading Assignment: • Required: None. • Recommended: • Hockenberry, pgs 13-14.

  4. “Technology should support your practice, not define it…”

  5. Family-Focused Care: • Health professionals provide care from the position of being an expert. • As an expert, they direct care, tell the family what to do, and intervene for the child and family. • Not really teaching and building on strengths. Families usually come back because they weren’t prepared.

  6. Family-Centered Care:Focus on all family’s needs and not just the patient’s • A mutually beneficial partnership that develops between families and the nurse, and other health professionals. • Focuses on the needs of all family members, not just the child’s needs.

  7. Why Family-Centered Care? • History shows that when parents were allowed to stay with hospitalized children, they were quieter, happier, and recovered sooner.

  8. Research has confirmed that children had decreased anxiety during procedures, needed less pain medication following surgery, and coped better during hospitalization when parents were allowed to stay with their child.

  9. Gradually, it has become recognized that parental presence during certain medical procedures, and sometimes resuscitation, is also beneficial to children and their families.

  10. Family As The Center • Always remember: They know their child better than anyone. • Families have important knowledge to share about their child, their child’s health condition, and how their child responds to various actions and events.

  11. Illness or injury affects all members of the family system (including siblings). • *Respect – Acknowledges the expertise of the family. • *Strengths– Recognizing & valuing family strengths and needs

  12. Practice Examples: • Providing comfortable places for the family to stay (promote sibling visitation) • Providing hygiene facilities for families who spend long hours at the facility or travel great distances.

  13. Offering parent’s the opportunity to participate in care and promote development of expertise • Collaborative care conferences

  14. 3:30 *Collaboration2nd most important • Seeking a “partnership” role • Characterized by several features: • Communication- children pay more attention to non verbal communication. • Open ended questions start with: what, how, and tell me about. • Closed ended Q’s start w/: Does, did, and is • Make sure to explain/communicate w/ parents, but be able to listen as well. • Active Listening • “Knowledge has never been known to enter the head through an open mouth” • Negotiation – Implies discussion

  15. 13:30 Words That We Should Avoid: • Words like “policies”, “allowed”, and “not permitted” imply that hospital personnel have authority over matters concerning their child.

  16. All Visitors: Please pick up the wall phone and dial 1 for permission to enter the room

  17. Words That We Should Use: • Words like “guidelines”, “working together”, and “welcome”, communicate an openness and appreciation for families.

  18. 15:20 Are These The Same? • “Guidelines for Family Members” • Most children hospitals have guidlines for each. • “Guidelines for Visitors”

  19. Practice Examples: • Assure that parents are integral in the decision-making process • That parents have 24 hour access to their child • Family Advisory Councils • Family Evaluation of Care, including attitudes of the health professionals

  20. Sharing *Information • Sharing complete and unbiased information to the family. • *Empowerment – Sharing knowledge & skills to achieve the goal of the family caring for their child.
