What impact do hospital and unit-based rules have upon patient and family-centered care in the pediatric intensive care unit?
This qualitative, grounded theory study identified the existence of explicit and implicit rules in a pediatric intensive care unit, all of which negatively affected the family's ability to receive care that was attentive to their needs. The rules also placed the registered nurse in the challenging position of serving as rule enforcer and facilitator of patient and family-centered care.
