Abstract：Objective: This article employs a scoping review methodology, integrates knowledge and information about current pediatric nurses' practices and perceptions regarding family-centered care in pediatric settings.
Methods: Published articles were retrieved from databases including EBSCO host, PubMed, Springer, Science Direct, Ovid, and CINAHL between 2013 and 2023.
Results: The finding shows a better understanding of pediatric nurses' perceptions of family-centered care in association with their clinical settings. However, the evidence indicates that integrating family-centered care components into health care services is difficult and confusing to nurses and is often not implemented in a clinical setting. As evidenced by this review, studies have consistently reported similar results; family-centered care was a good perception and understood by pediatric nurses as a concept but inconsistently used in a daily practice setting.
Conclusions: This scoping review is the first phase in promoting a strategic plan to provide educational interventions for pediatric nurses to implement family-centered care in their daily practice settings. It's necessary to recognize pediatric nurses' perceptions and practices concerning family-centered care to provide optimal healthcare services in pediatric settings.
