The accuracy of the pediatric assessment triangle in assessing triage of critically ill patients in emergency pediatric department

Evaluating workload and manpower planning among pediatric emergency department nurses in Turkey during COVID-19: A cross-sectional, multicenter study

“…In addition, the care and treatment of children in PEDs is more difficult than the care of adults ( Janhunen et al, 2017 ; Lebet et al, 2021 ; Manguy et al, 2018 ). The rapid increase in the number of patients year-on-year is increasing the workload in PEDs ( Ma et al, 2021 ; Mowbray et al, 2020 ). There may be difficulties in recruiting and retaining pediatric emergency nurses ( Lebet et al, 2021 ).…”

“…The survey was developed by the researchers in line with the literature to evaluate the nurses' perceptions of workload and manpower planning while working in the PED ( Ma et al, 2021 ; Nasirizad Moghadam et al, 2021 ; Sim et al, 2021 ). In addition, the survey, which was developed for nurses working in the PED, was developed on the basis of the NASA-Task Load Index ( Hart & Steveland, 1988 ).…”

“…Overcrowding in emergency rooms is an important problem that remains to be solved ( Cai et al, 2020 ); the fact that nurses who feel inadequate can experience burnout due to excessive workload and decreased well-being makes this issue even more challenging ( Waddill-Goad, 2019 ). During the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, emergency services worldwide have been struggling to keep up with the increase in the number of patients admitted for care ( Iordache et al, 2020 ; Ma et al, 2021 ; Moghadam et al, 2021 ). Emergency nurses bear a substantial workload ( Clopton & Hyrkäs, 2020 ) and, they have extensive and intense duties, exposing to extremely high workloads, both physically and mentally ( Moghadam et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Nurses in pediatric emergency departments (PEDs) have extensive and intense duties, exposing them to extremely high workloads, both physically and mentally ( Moghadam et al, 2021 ). Visits to the PED account for roughly 20% of all consultations ( Bankole et al, 2011 ), and the number of patients who attend the PED daily is increasing rapidly from year-to-year ( Ma et al, 2021 ). There has been a greater workload in PEDs during the COVID-19 pandemic ( Iordache et al, 2020 ; Ma et al, 2021 ; Nasirizad Moghadam et al, 2021 ; Pourteimour et al, 2021 ).…”

Nurses are an integral part of the emergency-care workforce providing safe and effective care for children ( Aitkenhead & Lee, 2019 ; Janhunen et al, 2021 ), and nurse manpower is one of the most important human resources in the ever-growing health sector ( Janhunen et al, 2017 ; Moghadam et al, 2021 ).…”
