Family presence on rounds is one of the guidelines instituted for evidence-based best practices for support of family in the delivery of patient-centered care in the intensive care unit (ICU) but identified as the least studied among all the other aspects of family-centered care in the ICU. From 1988 to 2010, only 1 research study on family presence was conducted in an adult ICU. The purpose of this article was to review research studies related to family presence on medical rounds; reviews that focus on both adults and pediatric patients in the critical and noncritical care settings are also included.

Registered nurses, with specialist neonatal qualifications or in training, in a level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the Netherlands. A survey was performed before 2001 and 6 months after (2003) the introduction of NIDCAP as the new model of care. Job satisfaction was measured by means of the Index of Work Satisfaction (IWS) instrument. From the 74 and 70 nurses on the payroll, who participated in the survey before and after the introduction of NIDCAP, respectively 67.6% and 80% responded. No differences were seen in background variables between both groups. Individual components of the IWS on importance and satisfaction were ranked in the same order before and after the NIDCAP introduction. The results on the IWS demonstrated no change in the overall satisfaction rate, respectively 14.4 and 14.5. Only in 1 component, organizational policies, the mean score increased significantly (3.68 and 4.13, respectively, P = .008). The other component scores did not increase significantly. Major changes in nursing care practice by means of NIDCAP, on our NICU did not affect overall satisfaction. Scores suggested that nursing staff were persistently satisfied with their job.

A prospective phase-lag cohort study was performed in a Dutch tertiary level neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Infants born before 30 weeks of gestational age (GA) were included, 26 in the conventional and 25 in the NIDCAP group. Outcomes were respiratory status, cerebral ultrasound findings, growth and length of NICU stay. At study entry, NIDCAP infants had a lower birth weight (mean [SD]: 1043 [191] vs. 1154 [174] g, p = 0.044), were more often small for GA (8 vs. 2, p = 0.038), had smaller head circumferences (mean [SD]: 25.1 [1.3] vs. 26.1 [1.8] cm, p = 0.041) and were less often multiples (6 vs. 14, p = 0.029) than conventional care infants. During NICU stay, more infants in the NIDCAP group developed pneumonia (9 vs. 3, p = 0.040) due to nosocomial infections. After adjustment for these differences, a decreased risk for more severe cerebral damage in favour of NIDCAP was seen (Odds ratio: 0.12, 95% CI: 0.03-0.46, p = 0.002). No differences were observed for the other outcomes. We conclude with precaution that in this phase-lag cohort study NIDCAP may have resulted in less severe cerebral damage, but was not associated with other clinical outcomes. In light of these findings, NIDCAP deserves further exploration.

Criterion validity was assessed by correlating the COMFORT scale with the clinical judgment regarding the amount of stress.
