Özet

Objectives The concept of family-centred service (FCS), which is recognized as the standard of paediatric health care, emerged from Western countries, and integration of FCS can be challenging especially in non-Western countries. This study aims to explore family-centred behaviours of paediatric residents and their perspectives on FCS being trained in a non-Western country before and 6 months after an educational workshop. It was hypothesized that the workshop will increase the awareness of paediatric residents regarding FCS and improve their self-reported family-centred practices. Study design Ninety-nine residents who are in a 4-year paediatric residency program were included. A 2-hr interactive workshop was conducted for all participants. The measure of processes of care for service providers was used to measure self-reported family-centred practices of paediatric residents, and a study specific questionnaire was utilized to understand their perspectives towards FCS prior to and 6 months after the workshop. Results There were statistically significant increases in the measure of processes of care for service providers scores suggesting improvements in self-reported family-centred practices of participants 6 months after the workshop. Moreover, the percentage of participants describing themselves as knowledgeable and competent increased. Viewpoints of paediatric residents on the implementation of FCS and several challenges perceived by participants were highlighted. Conclusion This is the first study conducted in a non-Western country exploring perspectives of paediatric residents towards the implementation of FCS and measuring their self-reported family-centred practices before and after an educational workshop. The study revealed that although a 2-hr interactive workshop improved the self-reported family-centred practices of participants, they still found FCS challenging.
