Patient and Family Centered
Care in Perianesthesia Arena:
WELCOME AND COME ON IN!
Objectives
 Describe and discuss patient and family centered care
in the perianesthesia setting
 Discuss approaches to encourage staff and promote
patient and family centered care
 Identify opportunities to improve Patient and Family
Centered Care by describing missed circumstances
and successful patient stories
DEFINITION:
 Patient and family centered care is an approach to the
planning, delivery, and evaluation of health care that
is grounded in mutually beneficial partnerships
among health care providers, patients, and families. It
redefines the relationships in health care
(Institute for Patient and Family Centered Care,n.d.).
DEFINITION
 Patient and family centered care is an approach to
health care that shapes policies, programs, facility
design and staff day-to-day interactions. It leads to
better health outcomes and wiser allocation of
resources, and greater patient and family satisfaction

(Institute for Patient and Family Centered Care,n.d.).
Core Concepts
 Respect and dignity.
Health care practitioners listen to and honor patient
and family perspectives and choices. Patient and
family knowledge, values, beliefs and cultural
backgrounds are incorporated into the planning and
delivery of care.
Core Concepts
Information Sharing.
Health care practitioners communicate and share
complete and unbiased information with patients and
families in ways that are affirming and useful. Patients
and families receive timely, complete, and accurate
information in order to effectively participate in care
and decision-making.
Core Concepts
Participation.
Patients and families are encouraged and supported
in participating in care and decision-making at the
level they choose
Core Concepts
 Collaboration.
Patients and families are also included on an
institution-wide basis. Health care leaders collaborate
with patients and families in policy and program
development, implementation, and evaluation; in
health care facility design; and in professional
education, as well as in the delivery of care.
Family
Family
 “The word "family" refers to two or more persons who are
related in any way—biologically, legally, or emotionally. Patients
and families define their families.”
 “In the patient- and family-centered approach, the definition of
family, as well as the degree of the family's involvement in
health care, is determined by the patient, provided that he or
she is developmentally mature and competent to do so. The
term "family-centered" is in no way intended to remove control
from patients who are competent to make decisions concerning
their own health care. In pediatrics, particularly with infants and
young children, family members are defined by the patient's
parents or guardians.”

Family
 A Definition of Family:
 “Families are big, small, extended, nuclear, multi-generational,
with one parent, two parents, and grandparents. Living under
one roof or many, a family can be as temporary as a few weeks
and as permanent as forever. We become part of a family by
birth, adoption, marriage, or from a desire for mutual support. A
family is a culture unto itself with different values and unique
ways of realizing its dreams. Together, our families become the
source of our rich cultural heritage and spiritual diversity. Our
families create our neighborhoods, communities, cities, states,
and our nations.”
( Christiana Care Health System, PFCC Sharepoint)
Family
 Definitions of Family Cont…,
 “When the patient can communicate, the ideal definition
of family is whomever the patient defines as her or his
family. When the patient is unable to communicate, a
practical definition of family is anyone who shares a history
and a future with the patient.”

Recommendations)
Caring
Patient Family Centered Care is:
 A philosophy of care
 A culture of care
 A change
ASPAN Practice Recommendation
ASPAN Practice Recommendation
 Pre-op phase~
 1.Pt is informed that family member may visit in immediate
post op phase;
 2.Asked if they would prefer visit and whom would like to
visit;
 3.The designated family member receives info about PACU
environment and expected behavior of visitors
 4. If the family member accepts the invitation to visit, they
are told to wait for contact by PACU staff at appropriate
time

(pg. 63 of Perianesthesia Standards etc., 2012- 2014)
ASPAN Practice Recommendation
 Induction~
 1. Widely accepted and expected by many parents
 2. Premedication effective in reducing child anxiety in
some cases

(pg. 63-64 of Perianesthesia Nursing Standards etc., 2012-2014)
ASPAN Practice Recommendation
 Postoperative Phase ~
 1. Appropriateness of family visitation is based on pt
status/pt wishes/activity of unit/nurse ability to provide
time with pt and family member
 2. Primary nurse available to answer appropriate family
questions and reassure patient and family members
 3. Termination of visitation is at discretion of primary nurse
and based upon patient/visitor/unit circumstances

(Pg. 64 of Perianesthesia Standards etc., 2012-2014)
ASPAN Practice Recommendation
 Evaluation Phase ~
 1. Evaluation of the visitation practice begins when visitors
arrive in PACU and lasts until postoperative phone calls are
made to ambulatory patients or when patients are
assessed for satisfaction related to visitation
 2. Visitation guidelines should be re-evaluated per
institution policy
 3. It is helpful to have posted unit guidelines that specify
expectations concerning family care.

 Post-op phase:
 Most hospitals have a policy to allow parents in PACU
 Utilizing parental presence, distraction, instruction of
coping skills are associated with less distress
 Studies show pain management and recovery at
home is less than optimal
