Description

Family-Centered Care (FCC) is a cornerstone to healthcare that promotes engageFamily-centered carement with families by fostering a respectful relationship and improving the line of communication between staff and families. However, its prioritzation is waning, leading to diminished patient and family satisfaction and increasing nurse burnnout. This project is meant to highlight the importance of FCC to increase patient safety/satisfaction and reduce nurse burnout to better improve the healthcare system as whole. Nurses are experiencing negative attitudes towards FCC, but these feelings are causing a separation between patient families and hospital staff. This creates a strained communication, jeopordizing patient well-being. As Ridgway (2025) aptly stated, 'If you don't have the family at the centre of what you're considering, then you'll do things that will be at the convenience of the service,' highlighting the fundamental necessity of patient and family-centered care.
