Nurse’s Perspective in the Implementation of Family Centered Care in PICU NICU

Abstract

Implementation of Family Centered Care (FCC) in pediatric critical care has many obstacles and challenges, so the role of nurses as facilitators and enforcers of rules is difficult in implementing FCC. The purpose of this study was to determine the perspective of nurses in the application of FCC in NICU PICU . The study was conducted in January-February 2022 in PICU NICU at Dr Kariadi Hospital Semarang with a quantitative descriptive design method and a consecutive sampling technique of 52 samples. The results showed that the nurse's perspective in the implementation of FCC in NICU PICU was 90.4% good. The element of sharing information with parents is 100% good, the element of hearing parental voice is good 98%, the element of making decisions with parents is good 96%, the element of individual communication is good 94%, and the element of negotiating roles is good 63%. FCC in critical care children prioritizes partnerships between parents and health workers, where the role of parents can be negotiated in the implementation of FCC according to the clinical condition of the child and the characteristics of the parents. Nurses are expected to improve skills during resuscitation so that the implementation of FCC in the role negotiation elements can be carried out properly.
