A literature review of family-centred care in paediatric and neonatal nursing was undertaken as part of a research project. This research intended to ascertain the knowledge and attitudes of paediatric and neonatal qualified nurses and nurse educators towards family-centred care as it pertains to infants and children in hospitals in the Gauteng Province. A definition of family-centred care is difficult to formulate mainly due to the lack of consensus about its meaning. Additionally, the diverse societal contexts within which family-centred care is applied further complicate its definition. Internationally in developed countries, family-centred care is viewed as care, which is parent-led in consultation with the nurse practitioner. A family-centred care model for the South African context needs to be developed with the focus on parent participation, a precursor of family-centred care. This article traces the early developments in parental care for hospitalised children with specific reference to the USA, the UK and South Africa. Precursor concepts in family-centred care are described followed by a cursory overview of the reality of family-centred care, its cultural dimensions and matters of family strengths and choices in family-centred care.
作为一个研究项目的一部分，我们对儿科和新生儿护理中的以家庭为中心的护理进行了文献综述。这项研究旨在确定儿科和新生儿专科护士以及护士教育工作者对以家庭为中心的护理的知识和态度，因为它涉及豪登省医院中的婴幼儿。以家庭为中心的护理的定义很难制定，主要是因为对其含义缺乏共识。此外，应用以家庭为中心的护理的不同社会背景进一步使其定义复杂化。在国际上的发达国家，以家庭为中心的护理被视为由家长主导并与执业护士协商的护理。需要针对南非的情况制定一个以家庭为中心的护理模式，重点是家长参与，这是以家庭为中心的护理的一个先决条件。本文追溯了住院儿童家长护理的早期发展，特别提及了美国、英国和南非。文中描述了以家庭为中心的护理的先驱概念，随后简要概述了以家庭为中心的护理的现实情况、其文化层面以及以家庭为中心的护理中的家庭优势和选择问题。
