Multicenter Study Observational StudyFamily-centred care for children and young people with cerebral palsy: results from an Italian multicenter observational study.
Family‐centred care (FCC) is recognized as the model of best practice for the provision of services for children who have physical disabilities and their families. ⋯ The perception of FCC provided was fairly positive, with some areas of improvement, such as the domain of provision of information. Professionals should, therefore, provide better communication and take more time in giving information and attention to parents. Potential sources of variation in parent perceptions of FCC based on family characteristics and the organization of services highlight the importance the need to support services through the provision of greater financial and human resources.
