Reframing the focus from a family-centred to a child-centred care approach for children's healthcare

Coyne, Imelda ; Hallström, Inger LU and Söderbäck, Maja (2016) In Journal of Child Health Care 20(4). p.494-502
Abstract

In this article, we argue for a conceptual move from family-centred care (FCC) to a child-centred care approach and the implications for clinical nursing practice. Firstly, we argue that the parents and professional dominance constructs an asymmetric relationship towards the child, which may take away the focus from the child; Secondly, we need to renew efforts to promote the fundamental principles of protection, promotion and participation rights for children and young people according to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child declaration and thirdly, we need to strengthen the child's perspective and to view the child as an agent representing own experiences and wishes to be respected and negotiated.
