AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Aim: This paper reports a concept analysis of family-centred nursing care of hospitalized children.
Background: Family-centred care describes a practice aimed towards involving the family in all aspects of care. Previous analyses explore the colloquial use of the concept. An increasing amount of scientific papers apply the concept with seemingly little consistency in use.
Data Sources: A systematic literature search including articles from 1951 to 2009 resulted in a sample of 25 research articles.
Review Methods: A theoretical concept analysis influenced by Risjord's distinction between theoretical and colloquial analyses and based on the principles developed by Morse, Hupcey and Penrod was used to examine the structure and scientific maturity of the concept.
Findings: There is good agreement on the defining attributes of the concept, but they are described by sub concepts in need of clarification. The relationship between family and professionals is characterized by a mutual dependency and shared responsibility for the child's care, which may have both positive and negative consequences and holds potential areas of conflict not fully explained by the attribute of partnership. The nature of partnership remains unclear and it may therefore not yet be a relevant attribute. The concept is defined from the perspective of professionals and families, mostly represented by mothers. Few attempts have been made to operationalize the concept.
Conclusion: Family-centred care is a partially mature and highly abstract concept. Developing a theory of family-centred care could position the concept in a theoretical context and should also include the perspective of the sick child.

Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine University of Ibadan & University College Hospital, Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.
Background: The postpartum period is associated with an increased risk of maternal mental disorders. The combined effect of having the mother's infant admitted to a tertiary hospital in a low-resource setting and the need to exclusively breastfeed the infant may exaggerate this risk. This study aimed to determine the breastfeeding support provided to mothers whose infants were hospitalised in Nigerian tertiary hospital nurseries and the prevalence of common mental health disorders among this population.

Background: Development of a paediatric palliative care child and family centred outcome measure is a priority for health care professionals, researchers and advocates. It is methodologically challenging to develop a measure relevant for such a heterogenous population with complex needs. Involving children in measuring development is vital.

School of Nursing & Midwifery, Griffith University, Queensland, Australia.
Background: The provision of end-of-life care (EOLC) is an ongoing component of practice in intensive care units (ICUs). Interdisciplinary, multicomponent interventions may enhance the quality of EOLC for patients and the experience of family members and ICU clinicians during this period.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of a multicomponent intervention on EOLC practices in the ICU and family members' and clinicians' perceptions of EOLC.

Introduction: Necrotising enterocolitis is a devastating gastrointestinal disease predominantly affecting preterm infants. In 40% of cases, its rapid progression renders conservative treatment insufficient, necessitating laparotomy as the sole viable option for survival. However, high perioperative and postoperative mortality rates, along with severe future potential disabilities and suffering, can complicate the decision of whether surgery is still in the infant's best interest.
