Abstract

[Extract]

Review objective

The objective is to identify the effectiveness of family-centred models of care for hospitalised children aged 0-12 years (excluding premature neonates) when compared to standard models of care.

Background

Until at least the late 1950s, hospitals worldwide tended to be bleak places for children. It was believed that visits from parents would inhibit effective care and were detrimental to the child, who would become distressed when the parents left. Researchers began to suggest, however, that children whose parents did not visit them suffered acute emotional trauma which may have long-term psychological consequences in adolescence and adulthood. In 1956, the British government commissioned a report into the welfare of children in hospital. The resulting report, the Platt Report recommended that visiting be unrestricted, that mothers stay in hospital with their child, and that training of medical and nursing staff should promote understanding of the emotional needs of children. The process of change has resulted in a humanisation of paediatrics, although the movement away from traditional approaches to health service delivery to the involvement of families in all aspects of the planning, delivery, and evaluation of health care has been slow.
