Submission Description:
The Family Nurse Caring Belief Scale was developed to measure nurses’ beliefs regarding provision of family-sensitive care to families in crisis incorporating concepts important to care for a family unit. Initial psychometric evaluation of the FNCBS was tested on a sample of NICU and PICU nurses. Considering the differences between NICU and PICU, the beliefs of the neonatal nurse towards the family as a unit in the NICU may differ from those of nurses working in the PICU.
