The article "The Concept of Child-Centred Care in Healthcare: A Scoping Review" by Bernie Carter, Sarah Young, Karen Ford, and Steven Campbell explores the concept of child-centred care in healthcare. The review aims to define child-centred care, examine its development, evaluate its applicability and limitations, and assess its benefits for children's healthcare. After screening 2984 papers, 21 were included in the review. The findings suggest that child-centred care is an emerging, ambiguous, and poorly defined concept with no clear consensus on its definition. While the concept is gaining traction, robust evidence of its impact and benefits is lacking. The review identifies five key themes: agency, participation, impact, decision-making, and communication. These themes are discussed in the context of broader literature on children's rights, participation, and decision-making. The review highlights the tension between child-centred care and family-centred care (FCC), noting that while both can be complementary, they may also conflict. The applicability of child-centred care is seen in its potential to balance power dynamics and respect children's rights, but it faces limitations such as legal constraints on decision-making authority and assumptions about children's capacity to participate. The review concludes that child-centred care needs to establish robust evidence of its effectiveness and impact to become a sustainable and convincing model in healthcare.The article "The Concept of Child-Centred Care in Healthcare: A Scoping Review" by Bernie Carter, Sarah Young, Karen Ford, and Steven Campbell explores the concept of child-centred care in healthcare.
