“…The ten research priorities identified were focused on issues pertaining to health promotion and preventive care, long-term management of children with chronic conditions and their families, and workforce issues. The challenges to pediatric nursing were similar to those identified in The future of pediatric nursing science with additional challenges directly related to practice such as lack of pediatric sensitive indicators and core measures (Green et al, 2014;Harrison et al, 2020).…”

“…Another threat to the future of pediatric nursing as identified in the Harrison et al (2020) publication, is the dwindling numbers of pediatric nurse scientists, that is those who are PhD prepared and educated with the knowledge and skills to conduct pediatric nursing research. Over the years there has been a dramatic shift with students who graduate with a PhD in nursing as compared to those who graduate with a DNP, the clinical advanced degree.…”

Recently an article was published entitled, The future of pediatric nursing science (Harrison et al., 2020). It is both an important and timely article as it addresses what has become an impending challenge to fostering the development of the science and practice in the field of pediatric nursing. The authors identify a number of trends that threaten the expansion of pediatric nursing science, and ultimately, the evidence to support pediatric nursing practice.

“…Shared education and clinical placements were suggested, as pediatricians were interested in working together with pediatric nurses who are well prepared to work in their office. Nursing knowledge and theory development should be better linked to practice-relevant actions [ 58 ] so that pediatric nurses develop a specialized understanding of the needs of sick children and their families [ 59 ]. This should be taken into consideration to inform undergraduate and postgraduate education curricula for pediatric nurses.…”

Pediatric nurses in pediatricians’ offices: a survey for primary care pediatricians

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background The role played by nurses in caring for children in pediatricians’ officies in the community is crucial to ensure integrated care. In Italy, pediatricians are responsible for the health of children aged 0–14 years living in the community. This study aimed to describe Italian primary care pediatricians’ opinions about the usefulness of several nursing activities that pediatric nurses could perform in pediatricians’ offices. Methods An online survey with pediatricians working in primary care in Italy was conducted between April–December 2018. A 40-item questionnaire was used to assess four types of nursing activities: clinical care, healthcare education, disease prevention, and organizational activities. The answers ranged from 1 (not useful at all) to 6 (very useful). Moreover, three open-ended questions completed the questionnaire. Results Overall, 707 pediatricians completed the online survey. Participants were mainly female (63%), with a mean age of 57.74 (SD = 6.42). The presence of a pediatric nurse within the pediatrician’s office was considered very useful, especially for healthcare education (Mean 4.90; SD 1.12) and disease prevention (Mean 4.82; SD 1.11). Multivariate analysis confirmed that pediatricians ‘with less working experience’, ‘having their office in a small town’, and ‘collaborating with a secretary and other workers in the office’ rated the nurse’s activities significantly more useful. Conclusions A pediatric nurse in the pediatrician’s office can significantly contribute to many activities for children and their families in the community. These activities include clinical care, healthcare education, disease prevention, and the organizational processes of the office. Synergic professional activity between pediatricians and pediatric nurses could ensure higher health care standards in the primary care setting.

“…While PhD-trained nurses are specifically educated to develop knowledge through nurse-led research teams, nursing science has grown to include doctoral-level education preparing experts for clinical practice. The term "Pediatrics" is used in this essay by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) definition of children, which encompasses neonates, babies, kids, and adolescents [1].…”

The creation of knowledge by pediatric nurse scientists that informs and directs everyday nursing practice is essential to delivering safe and effective nursing care to children. The health of our children is at stake due to current statistics showing a steady decline in pediatric nurses and a lack of pediatric nurse scientists with PhDs. The objectives of this paper are to: Summarize the demands on pediatric health care. Express our concern that there are insufficient pediatric nurse scientists to produce the fundamental knowledge needed to direct pediatric nursing practice. Discuss the factors that may affect the number of pediatric nurse scientists. Make recommendations for nursing leaders, faculty, and professional nursing organizations to increase the depth of knowledge in pediatric health care.
