dc.description.abstract | Appropriate management of hospitalised children is crucial to the recovery process. The
philosophy and principles of Family
-
Cantered Care (FCC) have made it to be identified as ―best
practice‖ in paediatric hospitals. The purpose of this paper is to presen
t Moke‘s framework for
the contextualization of FCC in management of hospitalised children in Kenya. The framework
was developed after analysis of data from a descriptive cross sectional study carried out in two
phases at a national teaching and referral h
ospital and a private Children‘s Hospital in Kenya.
Data were obtained from healthcare providers and parents of hospitalized children by use of
questionnaires and interview and focused group discussion guides. Quantitative data were
analyzed by use of desc
riptive statistics. Significance testing was done by use of Chi Square and
logistic regression at 95% significance level. Qualitative data were analysed using content
analysis. About 54.6% of the parents were actively involved in decision making on the
man
agement of the hospitalised child. There was a statistically significant association between
the healthcare providers‘ knowledge of FCC and the level of parental involvement in decision
making (X
2
=0.444, P<0.001). The respondents defined
partnership in care as a situation where
the healthcare providers and the child‘s family work together in planning, implementing and
evaluating care for the hospitalised child. This is achieved through training and sensitization,
review, establishment and
documentation of childcare policies and implementation guidelines,
improving of the work environment and attitude change amongst the stakeholders. These are the
core tenets of Moke‘s framework | en_US |
