“…74 A different program has shown that a family faculty program, combined with home visits, produces positive changes in medical students' perceptions of children and adolescents with cognitive disabilities. 75 When patient-and family-centered care is the cornerstone of culture in a pediatric emergency department, staff members have more positive feelings about their work than do staff members in an emergency department that does not emphasize emotional support. This may lead to improved job performance, less staff turnover, and a decrease in costs.…”

Drawing on several decades of work with families, pediatricians, other health care professionals, and policy makers, the American Academy of Pediatrics provides a definition of patient-and family-centered care. In pediatrics, patient-and family-centered care is based on the understanding that the family is the child' s primary source of strength and support. Further, this approach to care recognizes that the perspectives and information provided by families, children, and young adults are essential components of high-quality clinical decision-making, and that patients and family are integral partners with the health care team. This policy statement outlines the core principles of patient-and familycentered care, summarizes some of the recent literature linking patient-and family-centered care to improved health outcomes, and lists various other benefits to be expected when engaging in patient-and family-centered pediatric practice. The statement concludes with specific recommendations for how pediatricians can integrate patient-and family-centered care in hospitals, clinics, and community settings, and in broader systems of care, as well.

“…The effects of ID training on American medical students' (N = 39) beliefs about people with ID's functionality also have been examined (Widrick et al, 1991). Scores on the Prognostication about Mental Retardation Scale (Wolraich & Siperstein, 1983) suggested that students were more optimistic about what people with ID can achieve after the intervention, with people with mild ID ascribed the greatest functional ability, followed by persons with moderate and severe ID, respectively.…”

The present paper provides a review of research on medical students' attitudes to people with intellectual disabilities. The attitudes of medical students warrant empirical attention because their future work may determine people with intellectual disabilities' access to healthcare and exposure to health inequalities. An electronic search of Embase, Ovid MEDLINE(R), PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science was completed to identify papers published up to August 2013. Twenty-four studies were identified, most of which evaluated the effects of pedagogical interventions on students' attitudes. Results suggested that medical students' attitudes to people with intellectual disabilities were responsive to interventions. However, the evidence is restricted due to research limitations, including poor measurement, self-selection bias, and the absence of control groups when evaluating interventions. Thus, there is a dearth of high-quality research on this topic, and past findings should be interpreted with caution. Future research directions are provided.

Family-Centered Care and the Pediatrician's Role ABSTRACT. Drawing on several decades of work with families, pediatricians, other health care professionals, and policy makers, the American Academy of Pediatrics provides a definition of family-centered care. In pediatrics, family-centered care is based on the understanding that the family is the child's primary source of strength and support. Further, this approach to care recognizes that the perspectives and information provided by families, children, and young adults are important in clinical decision making. This policy statement outlines the core principles of family-centered care, summarizes the recent literature linking family-centered care to improved health outcomes, and lists various other benefits to be expected when engaging in family-centered pediatric practice. The statement concludes with specific recommendations for how pediatricians can integrate familycentered care in hospitals, clinics, and community settings as well as in more broad systems of care.
