Growing up in the hospital: Part II, Nurturing the philosophy of family-centered care.
This article is the second in a series that addresses the issues of "growing up in the hospital." Whereas the first article focused on the child and the complex growth and development issues surrounding indefinite hospitalization, this article will focus on the family, the philosophy of family-centered care, and how nursing practice can nurture this ideal when working with children who must "grow up in the hospital."
