Family-centered care (FCC) has emerged as a significant approach in pediatric nursing, recognizing the invaluable role of families in promoting the well-being and health outcomes of children. This abstract aims to provide a comprehensive review of the importance of family-centered care in pediatric nursing, synthesizing current research and highlighting key findings [1]. The concept of family-centered care encompasses the collaboration between healthcare providers and families, with a shared goal of optimizing the physical, emotional, and developmental needs of the child. By recognizing families as essential partners in the healthcare team, FCC acknowledges their expertise, values, and unique perspective on their child’s care. This approach fosters a supportive and empowering environment, promoting open communication, shared decision-making, and mutual trust [2]. Research consistently demonstrates the positive impact of FCC on various aspects of paediatric care. It improves health outcomes by enhancing treatment adherence, reducing hospital stays, and minimizing the risk of complications. Moreover, FCC contributes to improved family satisfaction, mental well-being, and overall quality of life for both children and their families. By involving families in care plans, healthcare providers gain valuable insights into the child’s social context, cultural beliefs, and preferences, thereby tailoring care to meet individual needs [3].

Despite the numerous benefits and recommendations supporting FCC, challenges in its implementation still exist. These challenges may include time constraints, inadequate training, and limited resources. Consequently, ongoing research and professional education are crucial to address these barriers and promote the integration of FCC in pediatric nursing practice [4].
