Abstract

Background: Family-Centered Care (FCC) is an approach that involves families actively in their children's care by emphasizing respect, collaboration, and support. The goal is to increase family satisfaction with the care of children with cancer. FCC covers six subscales: general satisfaction, information, family inclusion, communication, technical skills, and emotional needs. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between implementing FCC and family satisfaction when caring for children with cancer. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted at the Estella Children's Cancer Center in Manado, Indonesia, from June to October 2024. Parents of hospitalized children with cancer were selected for the research sample using convenience sampling. The instruments used were the Family Centered Care Assessment Scale (FCCAS) to evaluate FCC implementation and the PedsQL\texttrademark 3.0 Healthcare Satisfaction Hematology/Oncology Module to evaluate parental satisfaction. Results: The mean total score for FCC implementation was 74.23 (SD = 11.308), and the mean total score for family satisfaction was 74.64 (SD = 10.426). Pearson's correlation test revealed a significant, moderate positive correlation between FCC implementation and family satisfaction (r = 0.509, p = 0.000). Conclusion: The better the implementation of FCC, the higher the level of family satisfaction in children with cancer undergoing treatment.
