Abstract

ABSTRACT As a popular tenant underpinning paediatric health service provision, the ability of health professionals to achieve Family-Centred Care (FCC) is often questioned. A major factor has been the judgmental attitudes and behaviour of health professionals. According to expectancy-value theory, individuals’ behavioural decisions are based on their attitudes and beliefs. In this sense, this study assessed the hypothesis: when necessity beliefs (beliefs and attitudes) rise, the actual implementation of FCC components (behavioural decisions) will improve. Using a correlation design, the study measured staff perceived self-reported implementation of FCC in their practice and their necessity beliefs of its core components using a modified questionnaire. Outcomes of 65 questionnaires revealed an overall mean of self reported implementation of 2.37/5.0 (SD = 0.57) and an overall mean of necessity beliefs of 3.06/5.0 (SD = 1.04). A significant moderate correlation (Spearman's rho (64) = −0.4, p < 0.001) indicated that professionals better practiced FCC components they favourably perceived necessary. It is recommended that policymakers should focus on changing attitudes of professionals towards FCC elements. The outcomes suggest that education that positively influences the attitudes and beliefs of health professionals may facilitate the involvement of families, and subsequently, better health outcomes for children.

以家庭为中心的护理与期望价值理论:奢侈品还是必需品

摘要：作为儿科医疗服务的热门租户，卫生专业人员实现以家庭为中心的护理（FCC）的能力经常受到质疑。一个主要因素是卫生专业人员的评判态度和行为。根据期望值理论，个人的行为决定是基于他们的态度和信仰。从这个意义上说，这项研究评估了这一假设：当必要性信念（信念和态度）上升时，FCC组成部分（行为决策）的实际实施将得到改善。使用相关性设计，该研究使用修改后的问卷测量了员工在实践中自我报告的FCC实施情况，以及他们对其核心组成部分的必要性信念。65份问卷的结果显示，自我报告实施的总体平均值为2.37/5.0（SD = 0.57），必要性信念的总体平均值为3.06/5.0（SD = 1.04）。显著的中度相关性（Spearman’s rho（64） = −0.4，p < 0.001）表明专业人员更好地实践了他们有利地认为必要的FCC部件。建议政策制定者将重点放在改变专业人士对FCC要素的态度上。研究结果表明，对卫生专业人员的态度和信念产生积极影响的教育可能有助于家庭的参与，从而为儿童带来更好的健康结果。

期刊介绍： Child Care in Practice is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides an international forum for professionals working in all disciplines in the provision of children’s services, including social work, social care, health care, medicine, psychology, education, the police and probationary services, and solicitors and barristers working in the family law and youth justice sectors. The strategic aims and objectives of the journal are: • To develop the knowledge base of practitioners, managers and other professionals responsible for the delivery of professional child care services. The journal seeks to contribute to the achievement of quality services and the promotion of the highest standards. • To achieve an equity of input from all disciplines working with children. The multi-disciplinary nature of the journal reflects that the key to many successful outcomes in the child care field lies in the close co-operation between different disciplines. • To raise awareness of often-neglected issues such as marginalization of ethnic minorities and problems consequent upon poverty and disability. • To keep abreast of and continue to influence local and international child care practice in response to emerging policy. • To include the views of those who are in receipt of multi-disciplinary child care services. • To welcome submissions on promising practice developments and the findings from new research to highlight the breadth of the work of the journal’s work.
