Download or read book The Impact of Family Centered Care on the Perception of Health in Children with Chronic Illness written by Erika T. Brink and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the current study was to better understand medical provider use, or nonuse, of Family Centered Care (FCC) (Kuo et al., 2012) and how it relates to a parent's perception of the overall health of their child. Children with Special Healthcare Needs (CSHCN) and Children with Medical Complexity (CMC) face additional complexities as they interact and navigate the healthcare system. The present study sought to better understand how medical professionals can help ease the burdens these families face as they seek medical care. This study used archival data from the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) to conduct a linear regression. The results indicated parental perception of care contributes to 3% of the overall health of the child. Findings suggest medical providers who effectively utilize the core tenets of FCC may be able to positively influence parental perception of their child's health through the patient-provider relationship.
Download or read book Parent Empowerment in Chronic Illness a Nursing Perspective written by Leena Panicker and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parent empowerment is upheld as a creative strategy to provide a family centred approach in chronic illness care. Empowerment equips parents to voice their concerns, priorities and goals of care among service providers and find some structure to their ever changing lives. However identifying and measuring parent empowerment practices are ambiguous probably due to the subjective nature of the concept. This work discusses the nurses' perceptions about parental struggle in chronic illness such as understanding the child's condition, negotiating a plan of care, monitoring and managing symptoms and coping with the changed family routines. An atmosphere of trust, open communication, shared decision making, support and parental readiness to accept their child's care leads to parent empowerment. Nurse's role is identified as an advocate for the child and the family and, as a front-line worker who fill the gap between parent and the multidisciplinary team. This inquiry brought more conceptual clarity to parent empowerment and has empirical importance in the current, changing context of chronic disease management.

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
