Perceived barriers of family‐centred care in neonatal intensive care units: A qualitative study

202426 citationsOpen accessUniversity of the Witwatersrand

Abstract

Health facility managers and NICU staff may consider addressing these barriers to implement FCC in the NICU in order to enhance family satisfaction and quality neonatal care. The design of future NICUs should consider family comfort zones and subunits to accommodate families and their sick infants for optimal health care outcomes. The development of communication models and guidelines for respectful NICU care may aid in integrating families into ICUs and promoting quality health care outcomes.
