摘要:

With the increasing number of medically fragile and technology-dependent children in schools, greater collaboration is required between health care professionals and public school personnel to ensure that safe and effective services are provided. This article describes a comprehensive process involving two different, though interrelated, teams on which the pediatric nurse plays a critical role. The process involves collaborative multidisciplinary medical-health team activities, referral to the educational system before discharge from the hospital setting, collaborative multidisciplinary medical- health-educational team activities, and development of a health care plan, training, and follow-up that facilitates a safe, successful transition from the medical-rehabilitation setting into the community educational environment. Implications for states are provided, with special emphasis on rural communities.

摘要:

Pediatric nurse researchers take a serious risk when they design an intervention study with insufficient power. In an underpowered study, the researcher may be testing a genuinely effective treatment but fail to recognize its efficacy. In the first part of this article, the concept of power analysis and how to perform a statistical power analysis are addressed. The second half of this article includes a review of published nursing research studies for the past 5 years in three nursing research journals. Specific examples of pediatric nursing research are highlighted. This review revealed a neglect of power analysis. Nurse researchers need to pay greater attention to statistical power analysis. It is an essential procedure for researchers to use before conducting a study.

摘要:

A short-term longitudinal descriptive evaluation of current levels of parents' participation in the care of a child hospitalized with leukemia was conducted to identify varying levels of parent participation and their relationship to the child's behavior during hospitalization. A positive relationship between the number of activities a parent participates in and the child's behavior during hospitalization was revealed.

摘要:

Moving patients through the maze of available services within the health care system is, at best, complex. When the patient is a child and that child is seriously ill, the situation progresses from complex to critical. The expeditious and safe transport of a seriously ill child is generally assigned to a specifically designated and trained group of health care professionals. Although such transport is essential, only a few sources could be found in the literature that described the role preparation, function, or management of a pediatric transport team. Therefore, this study was undertaken to collect information from institutions that provide transport services for neonatal and pediatric patients. The purpose was to identify national trends, describe the composition and functional aspects of the transport team, and identify criteria used for selection, orientation, and training of team members. Representatives of 56 geographical and administratively diverse institutions responded to a structured telephone interview. Findings revealed two functionally distinct types of transport teams: dedicated (N= 38) and unit based (N= 18). Included in the data obtained were types and numbers of patients transported, average response time and distance, personnel composition, and educational and experiential standards for staff and management.
