What is a family?
? Several interpretations of a `family¨
? Our interpretation often depends on our own
experience of family
? In today¨s world we must be open to the many
types of families we meet.
? Ultimately the family is defined by itself
? Therefore as nurses, we need to establish who
is in the child¨s family
The Child in Hospital
? Hospital can be new and frightening for children
? Often, their families are the only familiar aspect
? Hospital should not diminish the family¨s role in
children¨s care.
? FCC recognises that nursing care is most
effective if done in conjunction with the parents
Family-centred care (FCC)
Broadly defined as promoting a partnership
between the parents and healthcare
professionals in the care of the child
(Smith et al. 2002)
The family
Assess the family relationships:
? Are both parents involved?
? How many siblings in the family?
? Are the grandparents etc. involved in the child¨s care?
? Any other important people?
? Will someone stay with the child in hospital?

The role of the nurse
? Introduce yourself to the child & parents
? Show the child & parents around the ward:-
? tell them about the hospital facilities
? Ask parents if they:-
? slept well,
? had breakfast, etc.
? Explain the care the child will receive that day / night
? Explain what you are going to do, for example, measure blood
pressure, dressing change
? Ask parents what they would like to do
? Ask them if they have any questions
Parents have a right to make decisions about
their child
Therefore:
Parents need to have information about
their child¨s condition, treatment and nursing care
Answering questions
? Do not be afraid to say ^I do not know ̄
when a child / parent asks a question
? Tell child / parents ^I do not know but I will
get that information for you ̄
Negotiation
? Helping parents to be involved in their children¨s care is
an important part of FCC
? Nurses and parents need to decide who will perform the
care the child will need, for example:
- Showering the child
- Changing a wound dressing
- Feeding the child
? How does the nurses¨ routine suit the parents¨ routine?
Family-Centered Care (FCC)
? Remember: Parents do not know that they can
be involved in their child¨s care
? Therefore, nurses must explain to them
? But nurses should not expect parents to be
involved
? Therefore, negotiate with the parents what they
can do and what they want to do
? A common myth is that family centred care
involves the parents staying with their child in
hospital.
This is not true
? Family centred care means that we support the
parents to be involved as much as possible in
the child¨s care
Reasons parents may not stay with
their child in hospital
? Other children
? Expense
? Their job
? Personal reasons
? Others ´´´
Remember: it is not our job to judge parents
The cost of staying with
a child in hospital
? Food
? Parents¨ accommodation
? Transport
? Possibly loss of earnings
? Child-minders for other siblings
? Telephone bills
? Toys & treats for the sick child
Important Points
? Parents are not extra or unpaid nurses and should never
be expected to replace nursing shortages
? Parents should not be expected to be involved in their
children¨s care - Parents can decide if they want to be
involved or not
? Never assume that a parent will do something
? Never judge parents because of your own personal
opinions
