Family-centred care and health-related quality of life of patients in paediatric neurosciences

Resource Information

Description: Little is known about the influence of contextual factors such as health services characteristics on health-related quality of life (HRQL) for children with a neurological condition. To address this gap, we conducted an exploratory study of the relationship between family-centred care (FCC) and HRQL outcomes in children from neurosciences clinics in a large acute care hospital. This study provides evidence that the level of FCC is positively related to paediatric HRQL independent of neurological illness severity. The implication is that the uptake of FCC practices by service providers can positively impact the quality of life of children with neurological disorders.
