A validated family\u2010centred care questionnaire was distributed in January 2025 to approximately 240 neonatal nurses across three hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire assessed nurses' perceptions of both current and necessary family\u2010centred care practices across nine domains. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics in IBM SPSS Statistics, Version 30.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 163 nurses completed the survey, representing an overall response rate of 68%. A statistically significant gap was identified between nurses' perceptions of current and necessary practice across all nine domains, with necessary practice consistently rated higher than current practice. The widest gaps were in parent\u2010to\u2010parent support, sharing information with parents and collaboration between parents and professionals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Neonatal nurses in Saudi Arabia showed a high level of awareness of the principles of family\u2010centred care, yet its actual implementation remained comparatively limited across all domains.
