CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 40% of parents of children with mental health conditions who reported a need for care coordination also reported that their need was unmet. Delivery of family-centered care and enhancing family supports may help to reduce unmet need for care coordination in this vulnerable population.

    Franck et al. BMC Pediatrics (2019) 19:469 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12887-019-1838-3 STUDY PROTOCOL Open Access Comparison of family centered care with family integrated care and mobile technology (mFICare) on preterm infant and family outcomes: a multi-site quasi- experimental clinical trial protocol Linda S. Franck1* , Rebecca M. Kriz1, Robin Bisgaard2, Diana M. Cormier3, Priscilla Joe4, Pamela S. Miller5, Jae H. Kim6, Carol Lin7 and Yao Sun2 Abstract Background: Family Centered Care (FCC) has been widely adopted as the framework for caring for infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) but it is not uniformly defined or practiced, making it difficult to determine impact. Previous studies have shown that implementing the Family Integrated Care (FICare) intervention program for preterm infants in the NICU setting leads to significant improvements in infant and family outcomes. Further research is warranted to determine feasibility, acceptability and differential impact of FICare in the US context. The addition of a mobile application (app) may be effective in providing supplemental support for parent participation in the FICare program and provide detailed data on program component uptake and outcomes. Methods: This exploratory multi-site quasi-experimental study will compare usual FCC with mobile enhanced FICare (mFICare) on growth and clinical outcomes of preterm infants born at or before 33 weeks gestational age, as well as the stress, competence and self-efficacy of their parents. The feasibility and acceptability of using mobile technology to gather data about parent involvement in the care of preterm infants receiving FCC or mFICare as well as of the mFICare intervention will be evaluated (Aim 1).

  • Toward Developing Standards and Measurements for Family-Centered Practice in Family Support Programs
    3 Toward Developing Standards and Measurements for Family-Centered Practice in Family Support Programs Reva I. Allen and Christopher G. Petr At our best level of existence, we are parts of a family, and at our highest level of achievement, we work to keep the family alive. Maya Angelou Families, in all their rich and confusing complexity, hold within themselves the greatest possibilities of nourishing each member. Albert Gore The term family-centered has been used to describe the nature of certain forms of service delivery to families with children since at least the 1950s (Birt, 1956; Scherz, 1953). The term now is used in a range of disciplines, including social work (Bribitzer & Verdieck, 1988; Dedmon, 1990; Frankel, 1988; Hartman & Laird, 1983; Marcenko & Smith, 1992), education (Bailey, Buysse, Smith, & Elam, 1992; Burton, Hains, Hanline, McLean, & McCormick, 1992; Dunst, Johanson, Trivette, & Hamby, 1991; Murphy & Lee, 1991; Roush, Harrison, & Palsha, 1991a, b), health care (Brown, Pearl, & Carrasco, 1991; Brucker & MacMullen, 1985; Fagin, 1970; Krehbiel, Munsick-Bruno, & Lowe, 1991; Larimore, 1993; Weiner & Starfield, 1983), psychology (Roberts Allen and Petr & Magrab, 1991), sociology (Sung, 1991), occupational therapy (Bazyk, 1989; Pierce & Frank, 1992), and communication disorders (Donahue-Kilburg, 1992). Despite its broad use, the term family-centered still causes confusion because it is used by authors in different ways and because a variety of terms are used to refer to similar service delivery characteristics (Dunst et al., 1991; Lee, 1993; Nelson, Landsman, & Deutelbaum, 1990; Rushton, 1990). Confusion also surrounds the concept of recommended practice standards for family-centered service delivery, because these standards have never been developed into a single collection that could be used to guide practice across disciplines and settings.

An introductory section reviews the development of the first edition of the monograph in 1987 and its widespread dissemination and acceptance since that time. Each of the following eight chapters then addresses one of the following elements:(1) recognition that the family is the constant in the child's life, while the service systems and support personnel within those systems fluctuate;(2) facilitation of family/proFessional collaboration at all levels of hospital, home, and community care;(3) exchange of complete and unbiased information between families and professionals in a supportive manner;(4) respect for cultural diversity within and across all families including ethnic, racial, spirituai, soci.
