| Principles |
Content |
| Share all information |
An open and objective communication between the medical team and family, especially with parents, sharing information in a complete and impartial way. |
| Respect and recognize the differences |
Respecting the needs and preferences of each child and family. Recognizing and honoring racial, ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic and Spiritual differences, which have an influence on family experiences and perceptions of attention and care. |
| Cooperation and collaboration |
Family and doctors work together for the best interests of the child and family, participating in decision-making about treatment, attention and care of the child. |
| Negotiation |
Decisions are taken together because there is a disposition in all to negotiate, and to discover family strengths so they can make appropriate decisions. |
| Care and support in the context of family and family’s community |
We need to develop health policies that will be family-centered and that will respond to the needs of the populations where the family live, with assistance and home care programs, especially for chronic diseases, promoting the child’s attention and care at home. |
