Family-Centered Care Protocol
A structured family-centered care (FCC) protocol was implemented by trained PICU nurses. The protocol consisted of three components: (1) active parental participation in daily care activities such as comfort care, positioning, and feeding where clinically appropriate; (2) structured informational meetings providing regular verbal and written information about the child's condition and care plan; and (3) provision of a family-centered care education booklet developed specifically for the PICU of Kastamonu Training and Research Hospital. The intervention was applied throughout the PICU stay. Outcome measures were collected at admission (baseline) and within 24 hours before discharge.
