Humanisation in paediatric intensive care units: A narrative review

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Objective: To identify findings in the scientific literature relevant to the strategic lines proposed by the Humanising Intensive Care Project in the context of paediatric intensive care units. Design: Narrative review. Methods: A literature search was conducted in the databases PubMed, Scopus, CINHAL, and Cochrane Library. Specific indexing terms and search strategies adapted to each database were designed. The inclusion of publications was based on two criteria: 1) related to the paediatric intensive care unit and 2) addresses at least one of the topics related to the strategic lines of the Humanising Intensive Care Project. Study selection was carried out following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and the quality of the included studies was assessed using the Mixed Method Appraisal tool.Results: A total of 100 articles from 19 different countries were included, covering the period between 2019 and 2021. Nineteen different design types were identified. Thirty-two studies were cross-sectional observational studies, while 15 had an experimental approach. The articles were distributed among the seven strategic lines of the Humanising Intensive Care Project. Conclusions: Synthesising the knowledge related to humanisation in paediatric intensive care units will allow progress to be made in improving quality in these units. However, there is disparity in the amount of experimental research overall.Implications for clinical practiceThere is a disparity in the available research related to the different strategic lines, and it is necessary to carry out more exhaustive research on topics such as the presence and participation of the family in care or the management of post-paediatric intensive care syndrome..
