“…Guided by the BDT, Rotenberg and colleagues () developed the nine‐item Children's Trust in General Physicians Scale (CTGPS), which assessed children's trust in general physicians. The target of trust was general physicians because children in the United Kingdom often receive medical treatment from a number of physicians rather than a specific/personal physician.…”

Purpose. Develop a Children's Trust in General Nurses Scale (CTGNS).Design and Methods. In a cross-sectional investigation, 128 UK children (68 females and 60 males; Mean age = 10 year -4 months) completed the CTGNS and reported their trust in, and fear of, nurses. Forty-six parents reported those dispositions and the frequency of their children visiting medical centres.Results. The CTGNS showed acceptable internal consistency and factor structure.It was correlated with reported children's trust in nurses and visiting medical centres.Practice Implications. The CTGNS will permit the investigation of children's trust in nurses and interventions to promote it. 3 Children's Trust in Nurses Development of a Children's Trust in General Nurses Scale Polls show that nurses are one of the most trusted professions (e.g., Gallup, 2012) and it has long been advocated that nurse-patient trust is a crucial part of nursing practices both in the treatment of adults (de Raeve 2002; Dinc, & Gastmans, 2012;Johns, 1996;Radwin & Cabral, 2010;Rutherford, 2014) and children (Hall & Nayar, 2014;Hupcey, Penrod, & Morse, 2001). There are a very limited number of studies investigating adults' trust in nurses (see Radwin & Cabral, 2010) and there is a dearth of research that has investigated children's trust in nurses. Researchers have developed multi-item scales to assess adults' trust in nurses (Radwin & Cabral, 2010). Because of the sophistication of the language and generalized nature of the items in those scales though, they are not suitable for use with children. The purpose of current study of the current study was to redress that gap in our knowledge regarding paediatric nursing by developing a trust in general nurses scale for children. Conceptualization and Measurement of TrustThe current investigation was guided by Bases, Domains, and Targets (BDT) framework comprising 3 (bases) x 2 (domains) x 2 (target dimensions) (see Rotenberg, 2010). The three bases of interpersonal trust are: (a) Reliability which comprises believing that others fulfil their word or promise; (b) Honesty which comprises believing that others tell the truth and engaging in behaviors that are guided by benign rather than malicious intent and by genuine rather than manipulative strategies; and (c) Emotional which comprises believing that others to refrain from causing emotional harm, such as being receptive to disclosures, maintaining confidentiality of them, refraining from criticism and avoiding acts that elicit embarrassment. The three domains are: (a) cognitive/affective which are the beliefs and affect regarding the three bases of trust; (b) behavior-dependent which comprises individuals behaviorally relying on others to act in 4 Children's Trust in Nurses a trusting fashion as per the three bases, (c) behavior-enacting which comprises individuals behaviorally engaging in the three bases of trust. The bases and domains are characterized by two target dimensions: (a) familiarity, which ranges from slightly to highly familiar and (b) specificity...

“…This has not been well described in the literature. Researchers have explored trust relationships between clinicians and children in the clinical context,34 35 but trust in relation to research has not been well studied to date. The children in this study described a ‘network of trust’24, with children trusting their parents to make good decisions on their behalf and trusting researchers and the institutions in which they work to keep them safe.…”

“…It is important to point out that pre-consultation lists may help address the children's demands during consultations, perhaps indirectly when focusing on provision of information, as found by the differences between the three phases of the study. The literature highlights the need for including children as active participants in the health-related processes and the importance of the psychosocial interventions for increasing patient's participation (Coyne, 2008;Hallström, 2004;Nobile & Drotar, 2003;Nova et al, 2005;Rotenberg et al, 2008;Tates & Meeuwesen, 2000, 2001Tates et al, 2002aTates et al, , 2002bVan Dulmen, 2004;Van Dulmen & Holl, 2000;Vaknin & ZiskRony, 2010;Wissow & Kimel, 2002).…”

“…In some cases of health services, such as pediatric assistance, communication occurs necessarily between the health professional, patient and caregiver, a triadic interaction that requires specific abilities from pediatricians (Gabe, Olumide, & Bury, 2004;Howells, Davies, & Silverman, 2006;Howells & Lopez, 2008;McGraw et al, 2012;Nobile & Drotar, 2003;Tates & Meeuwesen, 2001). Although children's participation has been increasing, these patients remain excluded from interaction and their participation is restricted to 2 to 14% of the communicative process (Tates & Meeuwesen, 2001) during small talk or when providing basic information (Coyne, 2008;Hallström, 2004;Nobile & Drotar, 2003;Nova, Vegni, & Moja, 2005;Rotenberg et al, 2008;Tates, Elbers, Meeuwesen, & Bensing, 2002a;Tates, Meeuwesen, Elbers, & Bensing, 2002b;Van Dulmen, 2004;Van Dulmen & Holl, 2000;Vaknin & Zisk-Rony, 2010;Wissow & Kimel, 2002). However, four-year-old children already understand basic information related to self care, identify symptoms, have doubts, experience emotional issues related to the treatment and may feel guilty about the disease (Buckley & Savage, 2010;Gordon et al, 2010;Knighting, Rowa-Dewar, Malcolm, Kearney, & Gibson, 2010;Märtenson, Fägerskiöld, & Berteró, 2007;Nova et al, 2005;Vatne, Slaughter, & Ruland, 2010).…”

This cross-sectional study present effects of pre-consultation lists on caregivers' and children's communicative behavior. Thirty-two dyads caregiver-child took part in this research, divided in three groups concerning the study design: Baseline 1, Intervention phase, and Baseline 2. Children and caregivers were individually interviewed before consultations on pediatric cancer treatment, in order to list doubts, expectations, and estimated issues to the medical visit. These themes were written down on a sheet of paper, attached to the child´s medical record cover, and would then be used as a memo in the following consultation. Results show that pre-consultation lists produced no effects on children's behavior, however the procedure was associated to specific doubts discussed by caregivers regarding dietary recommendations, coping with side effects, child development, biological aspects of cancer, and school activities. This study presents a low cost procedure that may contribute to tailor communication in pediatric settings.
