Characteristics of intervention studies on family-centred care in neonatal intensive care units: a scoping review of randomised controlled trials. BMJ Paediatr Open 2024; 8:e002469. [PMID: 39103175 DOI: 10.1136/bmjpo-2023-002469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Different definitions of family-centred care (FCC) exist in the newborn setting, and many FCC interventions have been tested, while a comprehensive review synthesising characteristics of existing intervention studies is still lacking. OBJECTIVE This review aims at summarising the characteristics of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on FCC interventions in neonatal intensive care units. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library up to 31 January 2022, and reference lists of included studies and other reviews. Interventions were grouped into five categories according to a previous Cochrane review: (1) family support, (2) educational, (3) communication, (4) environmental interventions and (5) family-centred policies. Subgroup analyses by time period (RCTs published before vs after 2016) and by country income (based on the World Bank Classification) were conducted. RESULTS Out of 6583 retrieved studies, 146 RCTs met the eligibility criteria, with 53 (36.3%) RCTs published after 2016. Overall, 118 (80.8%) RCTs were conducted in high-income countries, 28 (19.1%) in middle-income countries and none in low-income countries. Only two RCTs were multicountry. Although mothers were the most frequent caregiver involved, fathers were included in 41 RCTs (28.1%). Very few studies were conducted in at-term babies (nine RCTs); siblings (two RCTs) and other family members (two RCTs), maternity care units (two RCTs). The role of health professionals was unclear in 65 (44.5%) RCTs. A large variety of intervention combinations was tested, with 52 (35.6%) RCTs testing more than 1 category of interventions, and 24 (16.4%) RCTs including all 5 categories. CONCLUSION There is a large and rising number of RCTs on FCC interventions in neonatal intensive care units, with specific research gaps. The large variety of FCC interventions, their high complexity, the need to tailor them to the local context and major gaps in implementation suggest that implementation research is the current priority.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this mixed methods review was to examine the effectiveness and family experiences of interventions promoting partnerships between families and the multidisciplinary health care team in pediatric and neonatal intensive care units. INTRODUCTION Hospitalization of infants and children in neonatal intensive care units and pediatric intensive care units has a significant effect on their families, including increased stress, anxiety, and depression. Available evidence syntheses focused on specific family-centered care, but not on partnership, which is another aspect that may improve families' outcomes and experiences. INCLUSION CRITERIA This review considered studies that focused on effectiveness or family experiences of interventions by health professionals in partnership with families of infants or children hospitalized in an intensive care unit. For the quantitative component of the review, the type of intervention was a partnership between the health care team and the family, and focused on outcomes of stress, anxiety, depression, quality of life, attachment, or satisfaction with family-centered care. For the qualitative component, the phenomenon of interest was family experiences of interventions that included collaboration and partnering with the health care team in the pediatric or neonatal intensive care unit. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies, published from 2000 to August 2022 in English or French, were eligible for inclusion. METHODS The JBI methodology for convergent segregated mixed methods systematic reviews was followed using the standardized JBI critical appraisal and data extraction tools. Ten databases were searched in December 2019 and again in August 2022. Study selection, critical appraisal, and data extraction were performed by 2 reviewers independently. Findings of quantitative studies were statistically pooled through meta-analysis and those that could not be pooled were reported narratively. Qualitative studies were pooled through meta-synthesis. RESULTS This review included 6 qualitative and 42 quantitative studies. The methodological quality varied, and all studies were included regardless of methodological quality. Meta-analyses showed improvements in anxiety, satisfaction with family-centered care, and stress, yet no conclusive effects in attachment and depression. These results should be interpreted with caution due to high heterogeneity. Qualitative analysis resulted in 2 synthesized findings: "Interventions that incorporate partnerships between families and the health care team can improve the family's experience and capacity to care for the child" and "Having a child in intensive care can be an experience of significant impact for families." Integration of quantitative and qualitative evidence revealed some congruence between findings; however, the paucity of qualitative evidence minimized the depth of this integration. CONCLUSIONS Partnership interventions can have a positive impact on parents of children in intensive care units, with improvements reported in stress, anxiety, and satisfaction with family-centered care.

Identifying outcomes and outcome measures in neonatal family-centered care trials: a systematic review. Pediatr Res 2024:10.1038/s41390-024-03293-2. [PMID: 38849484 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-024-03293-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A wide range of outcomes for infants and parents has been reported in clinical trials testing FCC interventions. This systematic review aimed to identify outcomes, outcome measures, and time-points reported in experimental studies testing FCC interventions in neonatal care units. METHODS This review included experimental studies investigating FCC interventions in neonatal settings. Database searches were conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane, PsycINFO, Scopus, JBI, Lilacs, and SciELO, completed in December 2022 and updated in November 2023. Critical appraisal was performed using the JBI checklist for randomized controlled trials, and a narrative synthesis process was used. Outcomes were categorized into the Comet Taxonomy core areas. RESULTS The search identified 8787 papers; 42 studies were included in the analysis. Totally, 60 outcomes were identified: 42 infant and 18 parents' outcomes. Outcomes were clustered into 12 domains for infants and five domains for parents and measured by 97 outcome measures. The included studies reported 25 and 27 different time-points for infants and parents, respectively. CONCLUSION This review of studies testing FCC interventions identified heterogeneity and inconsistency of outcomes, outcome measures, and time-points measuring the outcomes. Developing a core outcome set for FCC studies is warranted to benchmark the evidence and identify best-practices. IMPACT This systematic review identified inconsistency of outcomes, outcome measures, and time-points reported in quantitative studies testing family-centered care interventions in neonatal care settings. The lack of standardized outcomes and outcome measures reported in clinical trials makes it difficult to synthesize data to provide conclusive recommendations. This systematic review will contribute to the development of a core outcome set for research testing family-centered care interventions in neonatal care settings.

A scoping review. Eur J Pediatr 2024; 183:2015-2028. [PMID: 38430279 PMCID: PMC11035470 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-024-05455-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
To identify and describe educational programmes in patient- and family-centred care for paediatric healthcare professionals. This scoping review was conducted and reported according to the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and the PRISMA guideline. The databases searched included MEDLINE (PubMed), PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane, and Embase. Inclusion criteria were experimental, observational and qualitative studies about educational programmes on patient- and family-centred care for paediatric healthcare professionals. Exclusion criteria were reviews and non-peer-reviewed literature. Two reviewers independently screened and extracted the data using Covidence. Of the 13922 records identified, 49 articles met the inclusion criteria. There was a large variety of educational programmes, half of which were interdisciplinary, that mainly targeted nurses and doctors. The median number of participants was 51 (range 7 to 1411). The predominant target population was children with chronic disabilities and neonatal intensive care units, and only one programme specifically targeted adolescents. The median duration was one day (range 5 min to 3.5 years). Development of competencies was the most common objective. We identified 12 different educational content areas. Content mainly focused on communication and relational competencies, including partnership, which involved shared decision-making, mutual agenda setting, and negotiation of a plan. Many kinds of educational strategies were found but experiential learning through simulation and roleplay was used most. Conclusion: A large variety of educational programmes in paediatric patient- and family-centred care exist. Educational content mainly focused on communication and relational competencies. Experiential learning including roleplay and simulation was the most used educational strategy. What is Known: • Delivery of patient- and family-centred care improves parental satisfaction of care but requires clinicians have a certain attitude towards involving the child and parents in a healthcare partnership as well as advanced triadic communication skills. Little is known about how this attitude, and more broadly, patient- and family-centred care, can be facilitated through education and training. What is New: • This scoping review found a wide array of programmes.. Workshops with simulation or roleplay was the most frequent educational strategy. The programmes, which typically targeted nurses and doctors, chiefly focused on basic and advanced communication and relational competencies, including partnership, which involved shared decision-making and negotiation of plans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mothers of infants in most Sri Lankan neonatal units are required to be "inpatients" during the entirety of their infant's stay. This traditional practice is closely aligned to the relatively newer model of family-integrated care. PURPOSE Exploration of parent's views regarding the expectation for mothers to remain in hospital for the entire duration of their infant's neonatal unit stay. METHODS Cross-sectional study of parents of infants admitted to the University neonatal unit of Colombo North Teaching Hospital, Ragama, Sri Lanka, using self-administered questionnaires in 2017. RESULTS We found that 40% (19/48) of mothers and 43% (16/37) of fathers preferred that mothers traveled from home, rather than being inpatients continuously, in order to care for older children, receive psychological support from family, and also due to other practical inconveniences of living in the hospital. The main barriers to women being able to travel from home were the need to safely provide expressed human milk for their hospitalized infants and current hospital administrative and societal attitudes. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE AND RESEARCH We found that a considerable number of parents with infants in the neonatal intensive care unit in Sri Lanka would like the option of the mother being able travel from home, rather than being confined to hospital. To facilitate this option, changes in hospital protocols and further research into storage and transportation of expressed mother's milk will be required. Improving facilities in hospital and providing more opportunities for families to interact with infants in neonatal intensive care unit will encourage mothers to remain in hospital continuously.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe pediatrics nurses' beliefs about family-centered services (FCS) as a model of providing healthcare to children in acute care settings in Jordan. DESIGN AND METHODS This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. Nurses who provide direct acute care to children (n = 246) completed the 'Measure of Beliefs about Participation in Family-Centered Service' questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to describe nurses' beliefs about participation, practical feasibility, implementation self-efficacy, principles, and potential adverse outcomes of FCS. RESULTS Many nurses feel confident (70%) about their ability to work with others in providing FCS and perceive having the ability to operate according to family-centered care (FCC) principles (68%). Many (75%) nurses believed parents should be encouraged to decide how much they want to be involved in the child's care. However, only 46% of the nurses valued attending to family priorities if the health decisions made by the family differed from the healthcare providers' priorities. Many nurses (70%) believed that healthcare professionals' competencies and capacities to work utilizing FCC are more important than their personal preferences and opinion. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study clearly indicate that nurses positively viewed providing children's care within a FCS. This supports the efforts to reasonably integrate FCC as an operating model in the pediatric healthcare settings in Jordan. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS FCS is a complex task requiring integrating multidisciplinary effort and healthcare providers' positive attitudes toward families as care partners. Steps should help maximize the organizational resources to facilitate family presence and create opportunities for professional-families partnerships for children's care.

Abstract
PURPOSE In pediatric healthcare, patient satisfaction queries exclude children and solicit quantitative ratings from caregivers. We sought satisfaction perspectives from hospitalized children 7 to 17 years and their caregivers by qualitatively analyzing interview responses. DESIGN AND METHODS English and Spanish-speaking children and their parents on five inpatient units completed two open-ended questions about their satisfaction at hospital discharge (T1, face to face) and 7 to 10 days later (T2, telephone). The questions asked about what was good and what could be better at the hospital. Responses were analyzed using descriptive semantic content analysis and consensus coding methods. RESULTS Patients' mean age was 11.9 years (SD = 3.17); 51% were male. At T1, 362 patients offered 833 responses; 600 parents offered 1496 responses. At T2, 252 patients offered 552 responses; 488 parents offered 1290 responses. At T1 and T2, the most frequent patient response to what was good was 'Staff took good care of me' and for caregivers was 'Staff behaving professionally'. At T1, the most frequent patient response about what could be better was 'more activities for kids', and at T2, 'Nothing' and 'More food options and better food quality'; for caregivers at T1, 'Nothing' and 'Not liking the physical space', and at T2, 'Nothing', and 'More communication and professionalism from hospital staff'. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric patients and their caregivers are willing and able to offer perspectives about satisfaction with care, and suggestions for improvement before discharge. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Pediatric patients and their caregivers' perspectives about care yield actionable recommendations for hospital systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The period after a child is discharged from hospital is generally described as challenging for the parents. Their satisfaction with the health services received is an important indicator of the quality of care. eHealth devices are increasingly used in health care to support communication with parents. Differences in levels of parental satisfaction by modality of provided care or by parental background are largely unknown. This study aimed to describe satisfaction with health care between sociodemographic groups of parents, who either received or did not receive an eHealth device for communication between parents and hospital staff as a supplement to routine care after a child's discharge from neonatal or paediatric surgery departments. METHODS Data from a quasi-experimental study was collected in the south of Sweden, between 2019 and 2021. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ (PedsQL) Healthcare Satisfaction Generic Module was used to assess the parents' satisfaction with different dimensions of health care. Seventy parents of children hospitalized in a neonatal or a paediatric surgery department were enrolled in intervention (eHealth device, n = 36) and control (no eHealth device, n = 34) groups. RESULTS The parents reported high overall satisfaction with the health care provided and were also highly satisfied within different dimensions of care. Moreover, they reported high satisfaction with using an eHealth device, although having support from the eHealth device was related to neither higher nor lower levels of satisfaction with care. There was a significant difference between fathers and mothers in the multivariate sub-analysis in certain instances regarding satisfaction with communication and the level of inclusion. CONCLUSIONS Parents were very satisfied with the health care provided, whether or not they received eHealth. Further research looking at groups with and without the support of an eHealth device is required to further develop future paediatric and neonatal care interventions. Communication and support through eHealth can be a tool to alleviate the distress parents experience after their child's hospital admission, accommodate the family's transfer to home, and increase satisfaction with care, but it needs to be evaluated before being implemented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quality measures determine reimbursement rates and penalties in value-based payment models. Frailty impacts these quality metrics across surgical specialties. We compared the discriminatory thresholds for the risk analysis index (RAI), modified frailty index-5 (mFI-5) and increasing patient age for the outcomes of extended length of stay (LOS [eLOS]), prolonged LOS within 30 days (pLOS), and protracted LOS (LOS > 30). METHODS Patients ≥18 years old who underwent neurosurgical procedures between 2012 and 2020 were queried from the ACS-NSQIP. We performed receiver operating characteristic analysis, and multivariable analyses to examine discriminatory thresholds and identify independent associations. RESULTS There were 411,605 patients included, with a median age of 59 years (IQR, 48-69), 52.2% male patients, and a white majority 75.2%. For eLOS: RAI C-statistic 0.653 (95% CI: 0.652-0.655), versus mFI-5 C-statistic 0.552 (95% CI: 0.550-0.554) and increasing patient age C-statistic 0.573 (95% CI: 0.571-0.575). Similar trends were observed for pLOS- RAI: 0.718, mFI-5: 0.568, increasing patient age: 0.559, and for LOS>30- RAI: 0.714, mFI-5: 0.548, and increasing patient age: 0.506. Patients with major complications had eLOS 10.1%, pLOS 26.5%, and LOS >30 45.5%. RAI showed a larger effect for all three outcomes, and major complications in multivariable analyses. CONCLUSION Increasing frailty was associated with three key quality metrics that is, eLOS, pLOS, LOS > 30 after neurosurgical procedures. The RAI demonstrated a higher discriminating threshold compared to both mFI-5 and increasing patient age. Preoperative frailty screening may improve quality metrics through risk mitigation strategies and better preoperative communication with patients and their families.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to explore the perceptions of parents of children with physical disabilities concerning the quality of their interaction with health professionals in early intervention programs. BACKGROUND Despite the consensus on the need for Patient and Family-Centered Care, there are still difficulties when executing such care. The quality of interaction among patients, families, and professionals is essential to facilitate the implementation of the programs. DESIGN A qualitative descriptive study with thematic analysis using a Modified Grounded Theory approach. METHODS Data were collected through seven focus groups with 28 parents of children with physical disabilities who were undergoing early intervention programs in three centres. The study followed the COREQ guidelines and checklist. RESULTS Two themes emerged from the experiences: 'exchange of information and education', which included all the activities, procedures, exercises and skills taught by the professionals to help parents care for their child; and 'interpersonal skills', which focused on the way the professional relates with the child and the parents. Several subthemes emerged within each theme. CONCLUSIONS This study identified which elements of the professional-parent interaction are considered by parents when evaluating the quality of their interaction with the health care provider of their children. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The results of this study bring to light certain behaviours and interactions that health professionals should consider in order to improve the perceptions of parents of children with disabilities regarding the quality of interaction in the context of early childhood intervention. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Parents contributed to the data collected. Early intervention professionals were involved in participant checking to ensure the rigour of the study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient and family-centred care (PFCC) is a healthcare model has been acknowledged as the central pillar in the paediatric health care that recognizes the family's role and experience in the health care delivery. AIMS This study investigated and compared the perception of PFCC from the perspective of staff and parents of hospitalized children and adolescents. METHODS A quantitative and comparative cross-sectional survey was used in a convenience sample of 105 staff and 116 parents, who completed the Brazilian versions of the Perceptions of Family Centred Care-Parent and Staff questionnaires, with additional questions on their characteristics. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used, as well as the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests and Spearman's correlation coefficient. RESULTS Both parents and staff responses were positive and parents had significantly higher scores for 19 of the 20 items (p < 0.001). The item related to parental participation did not show any significant difference between the groups. CONCLUSION The positive perception of PFCC for both groups is consistent with recommendations for expanded care that includes patient and family in healthcare settings. Parents' perception was more positive than staff perceptions of their delivery of family-centred care in hospital. The lowest score for the parent support subscale in both groups requires investigation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To modify and translate the Parents' Perceptions of Satisfaction with Care from Pediatric Nurse Practitioners instrument into Chinese, culturally adapt and initially test it to assess parental satisfaction with care from all levels of pediatric nurses in a pediatric inpatient care context. DESIGN AND METHODS The instrument was translated and culturally adapted following a standardized guideline for the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of self-report measures. Content validity, discriminative validity, internal consistency and test-retest reliability were examined. RESULTS Four main issues were identified in the translation and cultural adaptation stage. Modifications were therefore made to the Chinese Parents' Perceptions of Satisfaction with Care from Pediatric Nurses instrument. The item-level content validity indexes for the Chinese instrument ranged between 0.83 and 1.0. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.95, and the intra-class correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability was 0.44. CONCLUSION The Chinese Parents' Perceptions of Satisfaction with Care from Pediatric Nurses instrument has good content validity and internal consistency and can be considered a suitable clinical evaluation tool to measure parental satisfaction with care from pediatric nurses in pediatric inpatient settings in China. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS The instrument is anticipated to be useful in strategic planning for Chinese nurse managers responsible for patient safety and quality of care. Additionally, it has the potential to serve as a tool to enable international comparisons in parental satisfaction with care from pediatric nurses after further testing.

Abstract
AIM To determine the level of evidence for the effectiveness of telerehabilitation against comparison interventions in improving child- and parent-related outcomes in children and youth with developmental disabilities. METHOD A systematic approach, comprised of a comprehensive search; transparent study selection, data extraction, quality assessment by independent reviewers; and synthesis of sufficiently similar data (per diagnostic group, health profession, and overall level of evidence for each outcome) was undertaken. RESULTS Fifty-five studies (29 randomized trials) were included across six diagnostic groups and ten health professions. Common telerehabilitation targets varied across diagnostic groups and included motor function, behavior, language, and parental self-efficacy. Telerehabilitation was found to be either more effective or as effective versus comparison intervention in improving 46.9% or 53.1% of outcomes, respectively. It was never found to be detrimental or less effective. Strong to moderate, limited, and insufficient levels of evidence were found for 36.5%, 24.5%, and 38.6% of the outcomes, respectively. CONCLUSION There is sufficient evidence suggesting that telerehabilitation is a promising alternative when face-to-face care is limited. It is comparable to usual care and is more effective than no treatment. Blending in-person and telerehabilitation approaches could be beneficial for the post-pandemic future of rehabilitation in pediatric care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary healthcare, particularly Indigenous-led services, are well placed to deliver services that reflect the needs of Indigenous children and their families. Important characteristics identified by families for primary health care include services that support families, accommodate sociocultural needs, recognise extended family child-rearing practices, and Indigenous ways of knowing and doing business. Indigenous family-centred care interventions have been developed and implemented within primary healthcare services to plan, implement, and support the care of children, immediate and extended family and the home environment. The delivery of family-centred interventions can be through environmental, communication, educational, counselling, and family support approaches. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the benefits and harms of family-centred interventions delivered by primary healthcare services in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA on a range of physical, psychosocial, and behavioural outcomes of Indigenous children (aged from conception to less than five years), parents, and families. SEARCH METHODS We used standard, extensive Cochrane search methods. The latest search date was 22 September 2021. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs), cluster RCTs, quasi-RCTs, controlled before-after studies, and interrupted time series of family-centred care interventions that included Indigenous children aged less than five years from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Interventions were included if they met the assessment criteria for family-centred interventions and were delivered in primary health care. Comparison interventions could include usual maternal and child health care or one form of family-centred intervention versus another. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We used standard Cochrane methods. Our primary outcomes were 1. overall health and well-being, 2. psychological health and emotional behaviour of children, 3. physical health and developmental health outcomes of children, 4. family health-enhancing lifestyle or behaviour outcomes, 5. psychological health of parent/carer. 6. adverse events or harms. Our secondary outcomes were 7. parenting knowledge and awareness, 8. family evaluation of care, 9. service access and utilisation, 10. family-centredness of consultation processes, and 11. economic costs and outcomes associated with the interventions. We used GRADE to assess the certainty of the evidence for our primary outcomes. MAIN RESULTS We included nine RCTs and two cluster-RCTs that investigated the effect of family-centred care interventions delivered by primary healthcare services for Indigenous early child well-being. There were 1270 mother-child dyads and 1924 children aged less than five years recruited. Seven studies were from the USA, two from New Zealand, one from Canada, and one delivered in both Australia and New Zealand. The focus of interventions varied and included three studies focused on early childhood caries; three on childhood obesity; two on child behavioural problems; and one each on negative parenting patterns, child acute respiratory illness, and sudden unexpected death in infancy. Family-centred education was the most common type of intervention delivered. Three studies compared family-centred care to usual care and seven studies provided some 'minimal' intervention to families such as education in the form of pamphlets or newsletters. One study provided a minimal intervention during the child's first 24 months and then the family-centred care intervention for one year. No studies had low or unclear risk of bias across all domains. All studies had a high risk of bias for the blinding of participants and personnel domain. Family-centred care may improve overall health and well-being of Indigenous children and their families, but the evidence was very uncertain. The pooled effect estimate from 11 studies suggests that family-centred care improved the overall health and well-being of Indigenous children and their families compared no family-centred care (standardised mean difference (SMD) 0.14, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.03 to 0.24; 2386 participants). We are very uncertain whether family-centred care compared to no family-centred care improves the psychological health and emotional behaviour of children as measured by the Infant Toddler Social Emotional Assessment (ITSEA) (Competence domain) (mean difference (MD) 0.04, 95% CI -0.03 to 0.11; 2 studies, 384 participants). We assessed the evidence as being very uncertain about the effect of family-centred care on physical health and developmental health outcomes of children. Pooled data from eight trials on physical health and developmental outcomes found there was little to no difference between the intervention and the control groups (SMD 0.13, 95% CI -0.00 to 0.26; 1961 participants). The evidence is also very unclear whether family-centred care improved family-enhancing lifestyle and behaviours outcomes. Nine studies measured family health-enhancing lifestyle and behaviours and pooled analysis found there was little to no difference between groups (SMD 0.16, 95% CI -0.06 to 0.39; 1969 participants; very low-certainty evidence). There was very low-certainty evidence of little to no difference for the psychological health of parents and carers when they participated in family-centred care compared to any control group (SMD 0.10, 95% CI -0.03 to 0.22; 5 studies, 975 parents/carers). Two studies stated that there were no adverse events as a result of the intervention. No additional data were provided. No studies reported from the health service providers perspective or on outcomes for family's evaluation of care or family-centredness of consultation processes. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There is some evidence to suggest that family-centred care delivered by primary healthcare services improves the overall health and well-being of Indigenous children, parents, and families. However, due to lack of data, there was not enough evidence to determine whether specific outcomes such as child health and development improved as a result of family-centred interventions. Seven of the 11 studies delivered family-centred education interventions. Seven studies were from the USA and centred on two particular trials, the 'Healthy Children, Strong Families' and 'Family Spirit' trials. As the evidence is very low certainty for all outcomes, further high-quality trials are needed to provide robust evidence for the use of family-centred care interventions for Indigenous children aged less than five years.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neonatal intensive care unit is important to save the lives of a sick neonate; however, parents are challenged by several stressful conditions during their stay. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the lived experiences of parents in neonatal intensive care units in Ethiopia. METHODS We used a phenomenological study design. The data were collected using an in-depth interview method from purposively selected parents. In addition, we followed a thematic analysis approach and used Open Code Software Version 4.02 to process the data. RESULTS In this study, 18 parents were interviewed. The researchers have identified six themes. Parents complained of psychological problems like anxiety, stress, worries, hopelessness, and a state of confusion. In addition, anger, crying, sadness, frustration, dissatisfaction, regret, disappointment, feeling bad, self-blaming, nervousness, disturbance, and lack of self-control were major emotional problems raised by the parents. Parents expressed that health care providers showed indiscipline, lack of commitment, and uncooperative behaviour. Likewise, shortage of medicines, money, and limited time to visit their neonates were the other concerns of many parents. At the same time, parents were provided minimal information and limited cooperation from health care providers. CONCLUSION Parents whose infants admitted to the NICU were suffered from various psychological and emotional problems. Researchers recommend that health care providers should be supported parents with psycho-emotional problems, strengthen parents-healthcare workers' interaction, and scale up neonatal intensive care unit services to the primary health care centres.KEY MESSAGESParents whose infants admitted to the NICU were suffered from psychological and emotional problems.Poor NICU environment, shortage of equipment, long hospital stay, the presence of pandemic COVID-19, and lack of parental involvement in the care were identified barriers that affected parents' stay.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study aimed to identify nurse characteristics that influence their self-perceived practice skills in working with families and their attitudes towards engaging families in adult and neonatal intensive care units. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY/DESIGN Secondary data analysis using a descriptive, cross-sectional design. SETTING An online survey was completed by 256 nurses from six adult intensive (73% response rate) and two neonatal intensive and one intermediate care unit (27% response rate) in a Swiss, university affiliated hospital. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Nurses' self-perceived practice skills in working with families were assessed with the "Family Nursing Practice Scale". Attitudes towards families were measured with the "Families' Importance in Nursing Care - Nurses' Attitudes Scale". Data were analysed with multiple linear regression models. RESULTS Prior education in family nursing significantly influenced nurses' self-perceived practice skills in working with families. Nurses' clinical speciality had a significant influence on their attitudes towards overall, and on the subscale "family as a burden". Neonatal intensive care nurses showed more open attitudes towards families overall, but perceived family more often as a burden than nurses in adult intensive care. Nurses' perceived skills and attitudes in family engagement significantly influenced each other. CONCLUSION The results suggest that nurses' prior education in family nursing and clinical speciality determine their ability to work with and engage families in critical care. Our study suggests that integration of family nursing engagement practices in critical care requires educational implementation strategies combined with culture change efforts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective communication between physician and parent promotes a successful alliance with families. The association of parental stress with self-efficacy when communicating during parent-physician interactions is unknown in the context of a pandemic. OBJECTIVES Objectives of this study include quantifying and comparing the stress experienced by parents of hospitalized children before and after onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and examining the relationship of stress with self-efficacy in parent-physician communication during interactions throughout hospitalization. METHODS We conducted in-person surveys of parents of children aged 3 months to 17 years hospitalized at a quaternary-level children's hospital, before and after onset of COVID-19. Parents completed 2 validated tools: Parenting Stress Index (PSI-SF) and the Perceived Efficacy in Parent-Physician Interactions (PEPPI), measuring self-efficacy in communicating with physicians. Socioeconomic data were collected. Fisher exact test and t test were used to compare score proportions and means; linear regression was used to evaluate association between PSI-SF and PEPPI with confounder adjustments. RESULTS Forty-nine parents were recruited; the majority identified as non-White and female. An inverse relationship was noted between the total stress score and parental self-efficacy, which only attained statistical significance in the post-COVID-19 cohort (P = .02, multivariate P = .044). A significant increase in the mean was observed for subscale scores of Difficult Child (P = .019) and Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction after COVID-19 (P = .016). CONCLUSIONS Elevated parental stress is associated with decreased self-efficacy during parent-physician interactions and it worsened during the pandemic. Future studies should examine the effect of different communication styles on parental stress and self-efficacy during hospitalization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To verify the parents' satisfaction in relation to the care provided to their child admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit and associated clinical factors. METHOD Exploratory, cross-sectional study, with a total of 84 parents, in a private hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Data collection took place from March 2019 to January 2020, in the post-discharge period. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman's Correlation Coefficient. RESULTS Mean satisfaction was high (5.75) (SD=0.35). There was no correlation between parents' satisfaction and length of hospital stay, severity and illness. CONCLUSION Parents showed high levels of satisfaction with the care received in pediatric intensive care, regardless of disease classification, length of hospital stay or severity. Greater satisfaction was observed in the domains of professional attitude, care and cure, information and parents' participation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the psychometric properties of the Digi Family-Centered Care-Parent Version (DigiFCC-P), which was developed to measure parents' perceptions of family-centered care (FCC) in NICUs. DESIGN Cross-sectional psychometric study. SETTING Twenty-three NICUs in 15 countries in Europe, Canada, and Australia. PARTICIPANTS Mothers (n = 565) and fathers (n = 406) of preterm infants hospitalized in NICUs. METHODS Participants reported their perceptions of the quality of FCC during their infants' hospitalizations by answering one DigiFCC-P question delivered to their mobile phones every evening. Nine questions rotated in random order. Participants responded on a 7-point Likert scale. We evaluated the instrument's internal consistency, construct and concurrent validity, and sensitivity. RESULTS The internal consistency of the DigiFCC-P was satisfactory; the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was .74 (95% confidence interval [.71, .77]), and all the corrected item-total correlations were greater than .30. We identified that the items formed two factors, support from staff and the parent's active participation, and observed no strong item cross-loadings on the two factors. We discovered some items with weak interitem correlations, and the two factors explained 35.2% of the variance. Scores on the DigiFCC-P and Family-Centered Care Questionnaire were significantly correlated (r = .59, p < .001) and supported the convergent validity of the instrument. In addition, changes were discovered in the participants' ratings over time, which indicated that the instrument was sensitive to detect changes in their evaluations. CONCLUSION The psychometric testing of the DigiFCC-P provided initial support for the convergent validity and reliability of the instrument. The instrument was also sensitive in detecting changes in the evaluations of FCC over time. However, there is a need for further development of the content validity of the instrument.

Abstract
This scoping review was conducted to examine the range, nature, and extent of the published family engagement literature specific to the pediatric acute care setting to highlight future research and practice development opportunities. Included studies (N = 247) revealed global relevance. Engagement strategies ranged from more passive such as allowing/encouraging families to be present at the bedside to more active strategies aimed at promoting mutual and reciprocal nurse-patient interactions. Family engagement is distinguished by a mutually beneficial partnership of families with health care team members and care organizations. Future research in the area of family engagement in pediatric nursing should focus on determining the core engaging health professional behaviors and engaged parent outcomes; extending the knowledge base related to mutually beneficial partnerships between families and health care teams; developing effectiveness studies to determine the optimal engaging actions by teams to achieve parent engagement; and measuring the influence of engagement on parent and infant/child outcomes.

Abstract
The philosophy of care in Neonatal Intensive care Units (NICU) has changed with increasing integration of families. We examined parents' and clinicians' perspective about Family Integrated Care (FiCare) in our quaternary NICU. We found that parents and clinicians reported many benefits for families. They were all enthusiastic about FiCare for non-medical items such as changing diapers and skin-to-skin care; for more medical items, such as presenting at rounds, being present during resuscitation or procedures, most physicians wished for more parental involvement, more than other professionals, even parents. All parents described how FiCare benefited them, had empowered them, helped them feel like parents and become a family; but several parents, who could not participate as much or did not want to assume clinical roles, reported feeling guilty. Having a flexible, yet transparent FiCare philosophy is key, as opposed to having homogeneous goals. For example, an aim to have all parents present at rounds in a quality improvement initiative can cause harm to some families. We suggest how to ethically improve FiCare in the best interest of families while minimizing harms. It is important for FiCare not to be "Family Imposed Care." Optimizing FiCare can only be done when parents' priorities guide our actions, while also keeping in mind clinicians' perspectives and respecting the reality of each NICU.

Abstract
WHAT WAS OBSERVED OR INVESTIGATED The increased morbidity of diverse infants is unacceptable, and methods to reduce necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in their communities are needed. This article discusses the importance of the Español toolkit; provides a backstory of how the Español toolkit came about and how it was verified and validated; and concludes with impressions from involving parents in the research process. SUBJECTS AND METHODS After research evidence was translated from English into Spanish, a cross-sectional exploratory, descriptive, mixed-methods study was conducted, guided by the knowledge translation into practice (Translating Research Into Practice [TRIP]) framework. Twenty bilingual English-Spanish parents of fragile infants evaluated the NEC-Zero Español toolkit from a single neonatal intensive care unit. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The NEC-Zero Español toolkit was found to be easy-to-use and useful and provided information that can be used to augment information sharing. Having access to health information offers a meaningful way to start a conversation and may even impact positive behaviors such as breastfeeding promotion. To lessen Spanish speakers' linguistic barriers, providing materials in Spanish can help meet their information needs and initiate conversations with healthcare providers. This is particularly important because Hispanic infants are at high risk for NEC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE About 40-50% of parents with children admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) experience clinically significant levels of depression, anxiety, and trauma. Poor parental mental health can negatively influence parent-child interactions and child development. Therefore, early identification of parents at-risk for clinical distress is of paramount importance. METHODS To address this need, the psychosocial team, including psychology and psychiatry, at a large, level 4 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) developed a quality-improvement initiative to assess the feasibility of screening parents and to determine rates of depression and trauma in the unit. RESULTS About 40% of mothers and 20% of fathers were screened between 2 weeks of their child's hospitalization. About 40-45% of those parents endorsed clinically significant levels of depression and anxiety symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Recommendations for enhancing the feasibility and effectiveness of this process are discussed and considerations for future clinical and research endeavors are introduced.

Abstract
Globally, one in ten infants is born preterm. Most preterm infants require care in a level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), which are highly technological critical care environments that can be overwhelming for parents. Alberta Family Integrated Care (AB-FICare™) is an approach to care that provides strategies to integrate parents into their infant’s care team. This sub-study is the first to compare mothers’ experiences in the context of AB-FICare™ and standard care. Semi-structured interviews with mothers from AB-FICare™ (n = 14) and standard care (n = 12) NICUs were analyzed using interpretive description informed by grounded theory methods. We identified a major theme of Journeying to Home with six categories: Recovering from Birth, Adapting to the NICU, Caring for Baby, Coping with Daily Disruption, Seeing Progress, and Supporting Parenting. Mothers in the AB-FICare™ group identified an enhancement to standard care related to building reciprocal trust with healthcare providers that accelerated Journeying to Home.

Abstract
To create evidence-based consensus statements for restricted ICU visitation policies to support critically ill patients, families, and healthcare professionals during current and future pandemics. DESIGN Three rounds of a remote modified Delphi consensus process. SETTING Online survey and virtual polling from February 2, 2021, to April 8, 2021. SUBJECTS Stakeholders (patients, families, clinicians, researchers, allied health professionals, decision-makers) admitted to or working in Canadian ICUs during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS During Round 1, key stakeholders used a 9-point Likert scale to rate experiences (1-not significant, 9-significant impact on patients, families, healthcare professionals, or patient- and family-centered care) and strategies (1-not essential, 9-essential recommendation for inclusion in the development of restricted visitation policies) and used a free-text box to capture experiences/strategies we may have missed. Consensus was achieved if the median score was 7-9 or 1-3. During Round 2, participants used a 9-point Likert scale to re-rate experiences/strategies that did not meet consensus during Round 1 (median score of 4-6) and rate new items identified in Round 1. During Rounds 2 and 3, participants ranked items that reached consensus by order of importance (relative to other related items and experiences) using a weighted ranking system (0-100 points). Participants prioritized 11 experiences (e.g., variability of family's comfort with technology, healthcare professional moral distress) and developed 21 consensus statements (e.g., communicate policy changes to the hospital staff before the public, permit visitors at end-of-life regardless of coronavirus disease 2019 status, creating a clear definition for end-of-life) regarding restricted visitation policies. CONCLUSIONS We have formulated evidence-informed consensus statements regarding restricted visitation policies informed by diverse stakeholders, which could enhance patient- and family-centered care during a pandemic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preterm birth is on the rise worldwide. Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) have enabled many critically ill newborns to survive. When a premature baby is admitted to the NICU, the mother–infant relationship may be interrupted, affecting the mother's mental health.
AIM To examine the maternal emotions associated with having a child in the NICU and provide suggestions for clinical practice.
METHODS MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsychARTICLES, and PsychINFO were searched for relevant articles between 2005 to 2019, and six qualitative articles were chosen that explored the experiences of mothers who had a preterm infant in the NICU. The thematic analysis method was used to identify the most common themes.
RESULTS Four main themes of the experience of mothers who had a preterm infant in the NICU were identified: Negative emotional impacts on the mother, support, barriers to parenting, and establishment of a loving relationship.
CONCLUSION NICU environment is not conducive to mother-child bonding, but we stipulate steps that health care professionals can take to reduce the negative emotional toll on mothers of NICU babies.

Abstract
Invasive procedures commonly cause recurring pain in preterm infants. Noninvasive pain management is an essential part of nursing intervention in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The study’s aim is to identify the impact of touch therapy on pain in premature infants undergoing invasive treatments. The method was a quasi- experiment with 63 premature infants. The premature infants were classified into four groups: i) Mother’s touch Therapy (MTT), ii) Mother’s Voice Stimulus (MVS), iii) a combination of MTT and MVS, and iv) routine care. The observed infants’ pain scores were determined through a multiple regression model using the Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) method. The GEE test showed that the combination of touch and sound therapy significantly reduced pain in premature infants undergoing invasive measures (p<0.05). A combined application of MTT and MVS is the most effective in reducing pain scores in infants undergoing invasive procedures and thus, can used safely as part of nursing intervention in the NICU.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine visitor guidelines among children's hospitals in the United States in response to the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS A retrospective assessment of visitor guidelines in 239 children's hospitals in the United States. RESULTS In this study, we present an analysis of 239 children's hospital visitor guidelines posted to hospitals' Web sites during 1 week in June 2020. Of the 239 hospitals, only 28 did not have posted guidelines for review. The guidelines were analyzed and grouped by how the guidelines were updated in response to COVID-19. Parental visitation was restricted to 1 parent in 116 of the posted guidelines (49%). There were no obvious similarities among guidelines associated with their geographical (eg, state or local) location. As of February 2021, 33 of 55 (60%) randomly selected hospitals had not changed their visitor policy since our initial review. CONCLUSIONS The COVID-19 pandemic triggered changes in publicly reported visitor guidelines across the majority of children's hospitals. With our findings, we suggest wide variation in policies and practices in how guidelines were updated. More work is needed to understand how to optimize public safety and preserve family-centered care and parental authority in times of crisis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of many neonatal intensive care units (NICU) today is to promote a family-centered practice that addresses parental concerns and needs. However, the specific goals of parents are often unaddressed by the healthcare team. The aim of this study was to understand the goals of parents whose infant was in the NICU to enhance collaboration and communication between parents and health professionals. METHODS A written questionnaire was disseminated to parents whose infant was in the NICU at the Kingston Health Sciences Centre. A thematic analysis of the goals was completed to identify key emergent themes and their implications. RESULTS A total of 23 questionnaires were disseminated to parents and 13 (57%) were returned. Returned questionnaires were most often completed by the mother (n = 9, 70%), and a total of 40 goals were recorded. Three key emergent themes were identified, which included feeding and weight gain, eliminating medical equipment, and successful hospital discharge. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Understanding the goals of parents whose infant was in the NICU can enhance communication between parents and their healthcare team, thus aiding the implementation of a family-centered practice. IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH Future larger sample sizes studies across several NICUs would increase the generalizability of results and garner a larger volume of data to establish significant trends between specific infant and parent demographic data and the associated goals.

Abstract
Family-centered care (FCC) currently takes a greater role in health care, due to the increasing empowerment parents experience. Within neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), family participation has an impact on the humanized care of the preterm newborn (PN). This integrative review conducted according to Whittemore and Knafl investigated current knowledge of the FCC model and its application in PN care in specific units. The data were collected from PubMed, Cochrane, CINHAL, Scopus, and Google Scholar. A total of 45 articles were used, of which 13 were selected which met inclusion criteria. Their methodological quality was evaluated using the mixed method appraisal tool (MMAT), and after they were analyzed and grouped into four thematic blocks: (1) parental participation; (2) health parental training; (3) benefits of family empowerment; and (4) humanized care. The results revealed that FCCs promote the integration of health equipment and family. In addition, parents become the primary caregivers. The benefits of the family–PN binomial enable an earlier hospital discharge. Humanized care involves an ethical approach, improving health care. Changes are still needed by health managers to adapt health services to the needs of the family and PNs.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, there has been a worldwide cultural shift toward family-centered intensive care. In this article, we conducted a survey of 47 pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) across 11 Latin American countries to assess visitation practices and bedside family presence (with a 97.9% response rate). All PICUs had at least some form of parental visitation. The prevalence of unrestricted (24 hours/day) parental visitation was 63%. Sibling visitation was permitted in 23% of PICUs, while 35% allowed family presence during procedures, and 46% during resuscitation. Only 1 PICU allowed pet visitation. Family visitation and bedside presence are still restrictive in Latin American PICUs, with wide practice variation among the various intensive care units.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effects of three auditory interventions; white noise, recorded mother's voice, and MiniMuffs, applied during a heel lance on pain and comfort in premature infants in the neonatal intensive care units. DESIGN AND METHODS This experimental, parallel, randomised controlled research was conducted in a state hospital tertiary-level neonatal intensive care unit. The sample comprised sixty-four premature infants with gestational ages of 31-36 weeks. The infants were randomly assigned to four groups: i) white noise, ii) recorded mother's voice, iii) MiniMuffs, and iv) control. Pain and comfort of newborns were evaluated according to the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) and the COMFORTneo scale. Oxygen saturation, heart rate, and crying time were also measured. RESULTS The mean of oxygen saturation levels in the white noise, recorded mother's voice, and MiniMuffs group were higher than the control group. The heart rate, crying time, mean NIPS score, COMFORTneo score of the premature neonates in the white noise, recorded mother's voice, and MiniMuffs groups were significantly lower than the control group (p < .001). CONCLUSION Auditory interventions used during heel lance reduce the pain and increase the comfort of the premature infants. White noise is extremely effective in preventing infants's pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Family members' participation in care is internationally advocated as a way to improve patient outcomes admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). OBJECTIVE to provide an overview of current understandings about family participation in the care of older adult patients admitted to ICU. DESIGN, DATA SOURCES, AND METHODS The Arksey and O'Malley's framework for scoping review was used. We searched PubMed, CINAHL, EmBase, Scopus, and Cochrane from their inception until 10 October 2019 to answer this question: What are the dimensions, prerequisites, facilitators, barriers, and consequences of family member's participation in the care of older adult patient admitted to ICU? RESULTS Of 3410 search results, 33 articles were included (10 descriptive; 3 interventional or quality improvement project; 12 qualitative; 5 reviews; 1 expert opinion; 1 evidence-practice recommendation and 1 clinical guideline). The included studies were conducted internationally (n = 7), USA (n = 8), Canada (n = 3), France (n = 2), Britannia, Australia (n = 6), (n = 2), and Sweden (n = 5). No article from Asian and African countries was retrieved. The supporting level of evidence for most studies (28 out of 33) was low. CONCLUSIONS This review showed that family members could participate in the provision of physical and non-physical care (emotional, mental, cognitive, and psychosocial) to older adult patients admitted to ICU. Their participation in ICU care has the potential to improve the physical, emotional, psychological and psychological outcomes of older adult patients and their family members as well as reduce the burden of the healthcare system. The barriers were grouped into patient-related factors, ICU staff-related factors, family-related factors, and ICU setting-related factors. In addition, several facilitators of participation in ICU care were discussed. THE IMPLICATION FOR FUTURE RESEARCH This review showed a lack of experimental studies on the effectiveness of family members' participation in ICU care for the patient, family, and care system. This provides an opportunity for future research to develop and test interventions based on the multiple dimensions described in this paper.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to translate and validate the shortened version of the "EMpowerment of PArents in THe Intensive Care" (EMPATHIC-30) questionnaire into Turkish to measure parent satisfaction in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). Method: The study used a cross-sectional design. The data of the study were collected from parents with infants staying in the NICU of a training and research hospital in Sakarya, Turkey, between July 2018-2019 after obtaining ethical approval. Totally, 238 parents (234 mothers, four fathers) agreed to participate in the study and completed the questionnaire. Of these, 35 mothers were recruited 1 month later for the test-retest reliability analysis. The questionnaire was translated using back and forward translation. Reliability and validity test were performed to measure the psychometric properties of the Turkish EMPATHIC-30. Results: The mean age of the parents was 28.27 (SD 5.93), and 48.3% of them were primary school graduates. The infants: 55.9% were male, the mean gestational age was 36.89 (SD 3.25) weeks, and mean length of hospital stay was 9.36 (SD 10.17) days. The mean scores of each item with a six-point scale of the EMPATHIC-30 questionnaire ranged between 4.01 and 4.87. The Cronbach's alpha of the total questionnaire was 0.95. Cronbach's alpha of the five domains (Information, Care and Treatment, Organization, Parent Participation, and Professional Attitude) ranged between 0.80 and 0.92. Pearson correlation coefficient between the domains and total questionnaire was r = 0.988. The Intraclass correlation coefficient was ICC = 0.998 in the test-retest evaluation. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed for construct validity and was moderate; Comparative Fit Index = 0.792, Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.770, Standardized Root Mean Square Residual = 0.0811, and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.107. Conclusion: The Turkish version of EMPHATIC-30 has adequate psychometric properties. The EMPATHIC-30-Turkish questionnaire is an easy and appropriate instrument which can be used to measure satisfaction of Turkish parents with infants staying in the NICU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The benefits of family-centered care for the health and well-being of preterm infants and their families include increased parent-infant closeness, improved lactation, and positive mental health outcomes; however, it is known that the extent to which family-centered care is adopted varies by unit. This study aimed to understand how differences in neonatal care culture in two units in Finland and the U.S. were translated to parents' infant feeding experiences in the hope of improving relationally focused feeding practices in both locations. METHODS This qualitative, cross-sectional study utilized narrative methodologies to understand the lived experiences of 15 families hospitalized in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit in Finland (n = 8) and the U. S (n = 7). RESULTS A global theme of lactation as a means or an end showed that lactation and infant feeding were framed differently in each location. The three supporting themes that explain families' perceptions of their transition to parenthood, support as a family unit, and experience with lactation include: universal early postnatal challenges; culture and space-dependent nursing support; and controlled or empowering breastfeeding experiences. CONCLUSIONS Care culture plays a large role in framing all infant caring activities, including lactation and infant feeding. This study found that in the unit in Finland, breastfeeding was one method to achieve closeness with an infant, while in the unit in the U.S., pumping was only an end to promote infant nutritional health. Therefore, breastfeeding coupled with closeness was found to be supportive of a salutogenic, or health-promoting, care approach for the whole family.
