Abstract
To identify and describe educational programmes in patient- and family-centred care for paediatric healthcare professionals. This scoping review was conducted and reported according to the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and the PRISMA guideline. The databases searched included MEDLINE (PubMed), PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane, and Embase. Inclusion criteria were experimental, observational and qualitative studies about educational programmes on patient- and family-centred care for paediatric healthcare professionals. Exclusion criteria were reviews and non-peer-reviewed literature. Two reviewers independently screened and extracted the data using Covidence. Of the 13922 records identified, 49 articles met the inclusion criteria. There was a large variety of educational programmes, half of which were interdisciplinary, that mainly targeted nurses and doctors. The median number of participants was 51 (range 7 to 1411). The predominant target population was children with chronic disabilities and neonatal intensive care units, and only one programme specifically targeted adolescents. The median duration was one day (range 5 min to 3.5 years). Development of competencies was the most common objective. We identified 12 different educational content areas. Content mainly focused on communication and relational competencies, including partnership, which involved shared decision-making, mutual agenda setting, and negotiation of a plan. Many kinds of educational strategies were found but experiential learning through simulation and roleplay was used most.
Conclusion: A large variety of educational programmes in paediatric patient- and family-centred care exist. Educational content mainly focused on communication and relational competencies. Experiential learning including roleplay and simulation was the most used educational strategy.
What is Known: • Delivery of patient- and family-centred care improves parental satisfaction of care but requires clinicians have a certain attitude towards involving the child and parents in a healthcare partnership as well as advanced triadic communication skills. Little is known about how this attitude, and more broadly, patient- and family-centred care, can be facilitated through education and training. | |
What is New: • This scoping review found a wide array of programmes.. Workshops with simulation or roleplay was the most frequent educational strategy. The programmes, which typically targeted nurses and doctors, chiefly focused on basic and advanced communication and relational competencies, including partnership, which involved shared decision-making and negotiation of plans. |

Introduction
Patient- and family-centred care is an approach to the planning, delivery, and evaluation of healthcare based on a mutually beneficial partnership among healthcare professionals, patients, and families [1]. Previously known as family-centred care, it has evolved in recent decades, with an increasing focus on children's rights and well-being [1,2,3,4]. Various studies report the effect of patient- and family-centred care, and a consistent finding is a higher level of parental satisfaction and shorter hospital stays [5,6,7,8,9,10]. It has represented a shift from a doctor/nurse-authority approach to shared decision-making with the child and the family. Furthermore, in high income countries it has represented a shift in the culture of care from children being separated from their families when admitted to hospital, to recognising the child and the family as a care unit [2, 3].
A shift in care culture and a sustained behaviour moderation can be facilitated by education [11,12,13]. The evidence on educational programmes in patient-and family-centred care in paediatrics is limited, with only one narrative review from 2021 available that examines simulation-based learning of patient- and family-centred communication skills within the paediatric setting [14]. However, patient- and family-centred care involves more than communication; it is also a certain attitude toward the patient and family [1]. Hence, the need for a review with a systematic search strategy and a broader scope. The aim of the present scoping review was to identify and describe educational programmes within patient- and family-centred care for paediatric healthcare professionals.
Materials and methods
This scoping review was conducted according to the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and reported according to the PRISMA guideline for scoping reviews [15, 16]. The protocol was published a priori [17].
We searched MEDLINE (PubMed), PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane, and Embase with keywords sorted using the Population/Concept/Context framework. This was done in collaboration with an information specialist [16,17,18]. Online Resources 1 and 2 in the supplementary material describe the full search strategy and list the keywords. The searches were conducted from 8–11 March 2022 and updated on 4 January 2023. Inclusion criteria were experimental, observational, and qualitative studies published until 2023 evaluating on educational programmes in patient- and family-centred care for healthcare professionals working with paediatric patients 0–18 years of age. There was no time limit or language restrictions. Exclusion criteria were reviews and non-peer-reviewed literature, including conference papers, protocols, and proceedings. Narrative descriptions of educational programmes were not included because we decided only to focus on educational programmes that were evaluated, to get an idea of how they worked.
References were imported to Endnote to remove duplicates before being imported to Covidence. Three reviewers (EJ, AAS, CKS) screened titles/abstracts followed by full text screening. The first author (EJ) screened and read every title/abstract and full text, while AAS and CKS screened and read about half each. When there was a lack of consensus, all three authors met and resolved the conflicts, or involved the last author (JLS). EJ and ASS independently did the charting and consulted JLS when conflicts arose. Conflicts mainly arose when there was uncertainty whether the educational programmes were teaching patient- and family-centred care or not. Critical appraisal of the included studies was not done since it is beyond the aim of a scoping review [16].
Data from eligible studies were charted using a data extraction template developed for this study (Online Resource 3) and included citation, year, country, study design, type and number of healthcare professionals that attended the educational programmes, paediatric population, educational objectives, educational content, educational strategy, duration, if the local need for the education was stated, assessment methods, findings, theoretical framework, accreditation of programmes, and assessed Kirkpatrick level.
We adopted a pragmatic approach on how we included the terms for the concept patient- and family-centred care and included studies with terms belonging to this concept, such as family-centred care and person-centred care [19]. A list of terms can be found in Table 1.
Results
Of the 13922 records we identified, there were 48 eligible studies containing 49 reports (difference due to one study with two reports on the same study (Fig. 1)) [20, 21]. Online Resource 4 provides a full charting of the 49 reports [20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68].
The earliest study included was from 1994 [54]. Half of the studies were published after 2018. Fifteen countries were represented, mainly from high-income countries, with 30 of 49 reports coming from the US. The studies mainly had a pre-post-test design (n = 25), and only two randomised controlled studies were included (Table 1) [23, 67].
A wide variety of terms, related to the term patient- and family-centred care, were used (Table 1). The most applied term was family-centred care. Only 10 of the 49 reports applied the term patient- and family-centred care [26, 28, 30, 44, 47, 49, 52, 56, 60, 68].
About half of the educational programmes (n = 25) were interdisciplinary. Doctors and nurses were primarily the healthcare professionals in the programmes, followed by various types of healthcare students. The median number of healthcare professionals educated was 51 (range 7–1411). The educational programmes mainly involved children with chronic disabilities and the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), while only one programme primarily targeted adolescents (Table 1).
About half of the educational programmes (n = 25) comprised more than one session. The briefest education lasted five minutes and was for NICU support staff and nursing leaders, though it was part of a larger intervention for the whole staff [66]. The longest educational programme lasted 3.5 years and involved mentoring the staff in the ward [27, 66]. The median duration of the educational programmes was one day (Table 1). Of the 49 reports, 26 (53%) identified the local need for the education.
We identified and classified five categories of educational objectives in the programmes (Fig. 2). While the most frequent objective was development of competencies within patient- and family-centred care, other objectives were to change care culture, to change attitudes and perceptions, to gain knowledge, and to present patient- and family-centred care.
We identified and classified 12 educational content areas, which mainly focused on basic and advanced communication and relational competencies (Figs. 2 and 3). Together with communication, the topic most frequently taught was partnership, including shared decision-making and mutual agenda setting (Fig. 2). Topics that received less attention in the educational content were learning about empathy competencies, health literacy, and cultural competencies (Fig. 2). In four of the 49 articles, the educational content covered the physical environment as child-friendly spaces and sensory environments for infants [22, 36, 50, 57].
The most frequent educational strategy was workshops that included simulation or roleplay, sometimes conducted with professional actors (Fig. 2). In addition, prolonged interventions, which included the entire ward and involved various didactic methods, e.g. mentoring and feedback sessions with the staff, were the second most used educational strategy. Some of these programmes lasted over a year [20,21,22, 27].
Questionnaires and written evaluations were the most frequently used evaluation methods in the studies (Table 1). The participants mainly completed them, but in some studies the parents did, while the children only did so in one study, where the questionnaire did not cover the healthcare professional’s communication skills, but children rated their mental illness symptoms [67]. Fourteen of the studies used various validated questionnaires [26, 33, 37, 38, 45, 46, 50, 51, 54, 56, 60, 63, 67, 68]. Only the Measure of Process of Care for Service Providers questionnaire (MPOC-SP), was used in more than one study [38, 50, 68]. The timing of the evaluation, completed by participants, varied from immediately after the educational programme ended, up to 12 months after the end of the programme. In one study, consultants evaluated the healthcare professionals’ work 12–14 months after the training [22]. Evaluation by parents also varied in timing, with one study counting for the widest range, with a range of 1–1157 days after the end of the educational programme [24]. Further details in Online Resource 4.
We used the Kirkpatrick Model to describe the evaluation of the educational programmes (Tables 1 and 2 and Online Resource 4). The Kirkpatrick Model is often used in medical education to evaluate education and is divided into four levels: reaction, learning, behaviour and results [69].
Several studies evaluated the education at more than one level (Table 1), but most of them were evaluated on level two (learning) and assessed for whether the programme caused changes in knowledge, skills, attitude, confidence, and commitment (Tables 1 and 2). The least frequent level of evaluation was level 4 (results), which we found in 11 of 49 reports, with intended outcomes described on an organisational level, such as feedback from parents about satisfaction with the communication or quality of care, parent- and youth-rated mental illness symptoms, and functioning or medical errors [21, 23,24,25,26, 47, 48, 51, 63, 66, 67]. Table 2 describes which assessment methods we identified within the identified six groups of educational strategies, and which we classified in accordance with Kirkpatrick levels. There was no pattern in how the six groups of educational strategies were evaluated by the four level Kirkpatrick Model (Table 2). The most reported outcome on Kirkpatrick level 4 (results) was parental satisfaction with the communication.
None of the educational programmes were accredited, but one was endorsed by the country’s national health department [57]. Three were certified by a national medical association [23,24,25].
Discussion
In summary, this scoping review mainly contains programmes for nurses and doctors that primarily target children with chronic disabilities and the NICU. The most common educational objective was development of competencies within patient- and family-centred care, while the most common educational content was communication competencies and relational competencies, including partnership, which involved shared decision-making and mutual agenda setting. The most used educational strategy was workshops with simulation or roleplay.
A previous narrative review focusing on simulation-based communication training in patient- and family-centred care also found mainly educational programmes designed for nurses and doctors, of various durations, and that addressed various communication challenges [14]. Interestingly, in contrast to this scoping review, they only found few studies that included interprofessional groups and did not evaluate any studies to examine the training on an organisational level (Kirkpatrick level 4).
About half of the studies in this scoping review stated the local need for the education. Need is the first step in the six-step approach for curriculum development [70]. It is crucial for developing effective educational programmes. If need is not assessed, there is a risk that learners will be educated on topics they are already familiar with or skills they have already mastered, or that may not even be applicable. Identifying local needs not only allows to understand the existing local conditions, but also identifies potential areas for modification, how education can be provided, and determines the required components of education. As Johnson et al. concludes there are no “one size fits all” recipe for culture change [13]. As proposed in the six-step approach, we suggest that local needs should always be assessed [70]. Some studies clearly followed the six-step approach for curriculum development for medical education, with one study in particular standing out in terms of adhering to the six-step model by describing each step and distinctly basing the education on local needs [48].
The most common objective was the development of competencies, which offers a concrete objective that is less ambiguous than changing the care culture. A change in the care culture could also be difficult to evaluate when the education takes place separately from the workplace. Moreover, the objective development of competencies seems more feasible to measure in terms of whether goals are achieved than to measure changes in the care culture, which also will be more time consuming. Johnson et al. found in their review of organisational culture change that the majority of the studies focused on knowledge, skills and abilities conducive to change [13].
We outlined 12 areas of educational content, several of which overlap but are defined separately in an attempt to provide an overview of what the various educational programmes taught (Fig. 3). In general, the content of patient- and family-centred care appears to focus on various forms of communication and relationship building. This is in line with the American Academy of Pediatrics Policy Statement of patient- and family-centred care and other articles describing the core values of this type of care [1, 71, 72]. In paediatrics there is a triadic relationship between the patient, family, and healthcare professional. This triadic communication and relationship building requires special communication competencies [73]. Communication is essential in patient- and family-centred care but so is the healthcare professionals’ attitude toward the patient and family [1, 71, 72]. Partnership, which was taught in the majority of the educational programmes (Fig. 2), chiefly focused on the negotiation of a plan, mutual agenda setting, and shared decision-making, which also require special communication competencies and a certain attitude toward the patient and the family. Physical environment understood as child-friendly spaces (Fig. 2) is not traditionally linked to patient- and family-centred care but was included since it was a theme that appeared in four different programmes [22, 36, 50, 57].
The organisational culture is crucial for the quality of the care delivered [13]. About half of the programmes involved interprofessional education, which is suitable in real-life work settings and may enhance the transferability of the programmes [13]. The prolonged interventions involving mentoring and multiple didactic methods in the workplace may also enhance transferability, while short interventions isolated from the clinical setting may be difficult to transfer to the participants’ clinical setting, depending on the opportunities to practice behaviours at work and multiple channels and strategies are likely most effective [13]. The majority of the educational programmes were workshops, possibly because an isolated activity is easier to organise than a prolonged intervention with multiple educational strategies. Despite the likelihood of more success regarding cultural change with a prolonged educational program within the workplace with various didactic methods, there seems to be many ways to culture change and education is just one of the means to achieve culture change [13].
Research on educational programmes in patient- and family-centred care have certain weaknesses in that many of the studies used self-designed questionnaires that were not validated. Only three studies used the same questionnaire, making it difficult to interpret the various studies and to compare the programmes. The most applied study design was a one-group, pre-post-test design with no control group. Only three studies included in this scoping review randomised the participants, and in addition some studies had a low response rate, which could introduce bias. Another weakness is that no children assessed how they experienced their encounter with the healthcare professionals. What the parents experienced may differ from what the child experienced [74]. Most of the studies conducted their evaluation right after the educational programme ended and failed to evaluate whether the education had led to any sustainable changes. As shorter programmes are easier to conduct it seems reasonable that competencies are easier to evaluate than evaluating a sustainable cultural change, which is very complex and requires a lot more effort [13].
Suggestions for future research include evaluating an educational programme within patient- and family-centred care that involves a multicentre, cluster-randomised controlled trial that includes both parents and children responding to the quality of care, blinded to the intervention, and where the outcome is measured on a validated instrument with long-term follow-up. In addition, a detailed description of content in the educational programme. This is lacking in some of the included studies, which makes it difficult to interpret what the content exactly is. A contribution in future studies can be to apply frameworks and standards for development of educational programmes [70].
Implications for practice involve finding inspiration in the educational programmes included in this scoping review. However, it is essential to always align with local needs [13, 70]. When developing new programmes, there is a scarcity of initiatives designed for teenagers, other healthcare professionals besides doctors and nurses, and prolonged interventions aiming to change the care culture.
This scoping review has several strengths and limitations. One of the strengths is that the review follows the scoping review framework regarding a systematic search and selection [15, 16]. In addition, the study protocol was published a priori [17]. Six major databases were searched, and the search strategy was designed in collaboration with an information specialist. The selection process was pragmatic, took an inclusive approach regarding the concept of patient- and family-centred care, and had no language restriction or time limit, leading to the creation of a rich material.
There are, however, also limitations to consider. For example, the pragmatic approach taken in the selection process regarding the concept of patient- and family-centred care can also be seen as a limitation, including too broad a range of educational programmes. This may lead to uncertainty concerning the concept’s core attributes, making the concept diffuse, which may hamper compilation and comparison. Some may argue that each concept is unique and cannot be combined or compared, but the authors of this study assert that taking a pragmatic approach is necessary to gain an overview and promote transferability to various clinical settings, as the terms share core attributes. It would be a scoping review with just 10 studies if we limited the concept to only include “patient- and family-centred care” straightforward. So taken together the authors of this review views the pragmatic choice more as a strength than a limitation.
The inclusion criteria required that the studies had to have an experimental, observational or qualitative design concerning the evaluation of the programme, which may have led to the exclusion of useful educational programmes published as narratives. In addition, only peer-reviewed literature was searched, and grey literature was excluded, which may also have led to the exclusion of relevant studies [75].
The included studies in this review were mainly from high-income countries, and the majority were from the US. Differences may exist in the various healthcare systems, cultural values and understanding of the concept patient- and family-centred care across cultures. Patient- and family-centred care including shared decision-making is a Western concept originated in the US [2].The study from China included in this scoping review described cultural barriers that hinder family-centred care, such as challenges with shared-decision making and family structure [62].
Finally, another limitation is that scoping reviews are highly broad and therefore can lack focus. The scoping review format does not require an appraisal of the studies included, making it difficult to compare the included studies [15, 16]. However the advantage of the scoping review is to identify knowledge gaps and set research agendas [16].
Conclusion
This scoping review showed that there is a large variety of educational programmes in paediatric patient- and family-centred care. The educational content mainly focused on communication and relational competencies, and experiential learning was the most used educational strategy. In future research there is a need for more consistent measurement methods including long term evaluation, description of educational content and randomised controlled trials.
