Concept Analysis of Family-Centered Care in Childhood Cancer : An Evolutionary Approach

The purpose of this article is to further develop the concept of family-centered care (FCC) in childhood cancer using Rodgers' evolutionary method of concept analysis. A search of the existing literature related to the overarching concept of FCC revealed several concept analyses specific to hospitalized children and children with chronic illness; however, none of these were specific to children with cancer. Five defining attributes of FCC in childhood cancer were identified through this concept analysis: ripple effect, customized care, family functioning, collaboration, and communication. A definition of FCC in childhood cancer is offered based on identified characteristics of the concept. Findings of this concept analysis provide a starting point for on-going development of the concept of FCC in childhood cancer and may facilitate more rigorous nursing studies involving FCC in childhood cancer.
