Abstract
|
|
|
|
Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate nurses¡¯ perceptions and performance of family-centered care (FCC) at a children¡¯s hospital in Sri Lanka and to explore the feasibility of implementing FCC in the context of the Sri Lankan healthcare system.
Methods: A convergent, parallel, mixed-methods design was applied to understand Sri Lankan nurses¡¯ perspectives on FCC. In total, 157 nurses working at a large teritagy children¡¯s hospital responded to a self-report survey and 18 nurses participated in focus group interviews.
Results: Of the factors of FCC, family participation in caring for children received the highest score (4.09¡¾0.51) for perceptions, and information-sharing received the highest score (3.54¡¾0.55) for performance. The qualitative data revealed the following five themes: (a) importance of the family in caring for children; (b) helping families during children¡¯s hospitalization; (c) taking steps to implement FCC, even with imperfect knowledge; (d) barriers in the current situation; and (e) suggested strategies to promote FCC.
Conclusion: Participants endorsed the concept of FCC and demonstrated some aspects of it in their day-to-day practice. The results indicate a clear knowledge deficit and several challenges, which need to be addressed to effectively implement FCC.
