Abstract
The purposes of this article were to summarize the development of family-centered
pediatric care, review the current state of nursing research in this area, and recommend
directions for future study. A literature review of 30 nursing research studies between
1995 and 2006 was conducted. Results revealed that evidence of consistent provision
of family-centered pediatric care is lacking. Many areas of research remain undeveloped,
but there is a solid foundation for moving forward in conducting research focused
on assisting nurses in implementing this basic philosophy of practice in all settings
and situations in which children receive health care.
