![]() ![]() Two experts evaluated that the scale is missing an item about the presence of parents with their child (e.g., an overnight stay). Experts also noted that items about parental coping and family life situation (e.g., different forms of family) were missing. Other comments concerned whether the scale is suitable to all of the age groups which are treated in pediatric wards. Some experts suggested changing the word “nurse” to “nursing staff” to allow a wider assessment of FCC. Several experts noted that FCC involves other professional groups than just nurses as such, the current scale does not sufficiently frame FCC as a multi-professional practice. The experts could also provide open-ended comments about the scale in its entirety. One expert evaluated that items concerning a nurse's respect of privacy and confidentiality, along with calling a child by their name, were not related to the FCC philosophy. Moreover, three items were found to have suggestive wording, and the experts felt that more general expressions would be better. A nurse's support to other visiting family members was evaluated as relevant to FCC, with the exception of pediatric intensive care, as visits by family members other than the parents are not permitted. ![]() In contrast, explaining and justifying the interventions taken for the child was considered to be very important. The open-ended comments also revealed that asking parents for consent before an intervention is not suitable for Finnish nursing care. The item describing the nurse's awareness of parents' needs was evaluated as inconsistent because it did not specify whether the nurse had enquired about the child's needs. The provided open-ended comments revealed that two items were assessed as highly relevant, but also as somewhat extensive and unclear. ![]()
