Description
Summary:Background The aim of this study was to compare perceptions between physical therapists and parents about family‐centered care for preterm infants. Methods Translated versions of the Measure of Processes of Care‐20 and Measures of Processes of Care for Service Providers were used to evaluate the family‐centered care for preterm infants. Results A total of 42 parents of 44 preterm infants and nine physical therapists completed questionnaires. Parent perceptions of the family‐centered care were generally positive. The highest rating was in the domain Enable and Partnership. Physical therapists gave lower scores in all information domains. There were some gaps between parent and physical therapist perceptions of information domains. Conclusions Strengths and weaknesses in family‐centered care for preterm infants have been identified. Parents viewed the role of physical therapists in family‐centered care for preterm infants as positive.
