FAMILY-CENTRED CARE (FCC) has become an
integral part of children’s and other nursing areas,
and is central in UK nurse education and practice.
According to the British Society for the History of
Children’s and Child Health (2014), Great Ormond
Street Hospital opened in 1853 as the UK’s first
children’s hospital. Since then, there have been many
shifts in attitude towards the hospital admission of
children, leading to the contemporary principle that
the presence of parents or family on the ward is an
essential aspect of children’s nursing.
The Platt Report pointed to the need to give
more attention to achieving care that fulfils the
holistic needs of children (Platt 1959a). In particular,
Platt (1959b) emphasised the importance of
maintaining normality and continuity for the child
in hospital, in an attempt to minimise the emotional
disturbances of admission. A number of further
publications have followed and have continued
to highlight the need to include parents and family
in their child’s care.
Further data have been collected since 2012,
when the study reported in this article was
conducted. However, the same definition of FCC
has been used throughout the research, namely
that of Smith (2002), which is ‘the professional
support of the child and family through a process
of involvement, participation and partnership
underpinned by empowerment and negotiation’. This
article refers to Smith (2002) when describing FCC.
Over the years, there has been a change in
children’ hospital nursing in the UK: the trend has
been towards shorter hospital stays, alongside
greater numbers of short-stay patients (Purdy 2010).
