Pediatrics. 2003 Sep;112(3 Pt 1):691-7.
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 family-centered care in hospitals, clinics, and community settings as well as in more broad systems of care.
美国儿科学会借鉴了几十年来与家庭、儿科医生、其他医疗保健专业人员以及政策制定者合作的经验，给出了以家庭为中心的医疗护理的定义。在儿科学领域，以家庭为中心的医疗护理基于这样一种认识，即家庭是儿童力量和支持的主要来源。此外，这种护理方法认识到，家庭、儿童和年轻人提供的观点和信息在临床决策中很重要。本政策声明概述了以家庭为中心的医疗护理的核心原则，总结了将以家庭为中心的医疗护理与改善健康结果联系起来的近期文献，并列出了在开展以家庭为中心的儿科实践时预期的各种其他益处。声明最后针对儿科医生如何在医院、诊所、社区环境以及更广泛的护理系统中整合以家庭为中心的医疗护理提出了具体建议。
