Review
OBJECTIVES
The implementation of pediatric oncology advanced practice nurse (s) roles in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) presents opportunities and challenges. The authors explore the implications of pediatric oncology advanced practice nursing roles in Pakistan, Cameroon, Turkey, and Mexico. Potential benefits and drawbacks of advanced practice nursing roles, impacts on nursing care, and strategies for advanced practice nursing role development in LMIC settings are considered.
METHODS
Information from scholarly articles, policy documents, and four LMIC pediatric oncology nurse expert perspectives on existing and imagined advanced practice nursing roles in pediatric oncology in LMIC were synthesized.
RESULTS
Current literature and policies point to efforts across LMICs to establish a wide variety of advanced nursing practices, not necessarily aligned with internationally accepted advanced practice nursing standards of practice or education. The LMIC nurses describe a wide range of national general nurse education and government advanced practice nurse recognition/licensing. Challenges to achieving or strengthening advanced practice nursing roles include, for example, healthcare professional resistance, government unwillingness to recognize/license advanced practice nurses, and lack of advanced practice nursing faculty. To promote a pediatric oncology advanced practice nursing role in LMICs requires navigating the national nursing scope of practice and nursing culture.
CONCLUSION
The strategic introduction of pediatric oncology advanced practice nursing roles in LMICs has the potential to significantly enhance patient care by, for example, addressing healthcare workforce shortages and facilitating timely care delivery. However, challenges related to role complexity, resistance from traditional healthcare structures, and role overlap must be considered. Tailoring these roles to local contexts and fostering stakeholder collaboration are essential for successful implementation.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE
The adoption of advanced practice nursing roles can lead to improved quality of care for pediatric oncology patients and their families in LMICs, where cancer care is challenging. The positive impact of pediatric oncology advanced practice nurses on patient outcomes and healthcare delivery cannot be discounted but must align with local nursing and healthcare culture and expectations.

Review
OBJECTIVE
To identify how children's stories can be used in child care.
METHOD
Integrative literature review, conducted in databases between 2000 and 2018, in three languages. Full research articles were included that agreed with the following question: "How can children's stories be used in child care?".
RESULTS
From the analysis of 16 selected articles, three categories emerged: The use of stories in the hospital; Specialized nursing intervention; and Stories in the educational dimension.
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
Evidence shows benefits to children, families, institutions and nursing. The use of children's stories as a care intervention can occur in different situations and settings, values; boosts bonds, reduces anxiety in children and families, encourages children's participation in care, and promotes health education. It is a low-cost and still incipient strategy in nursing.

There is growing recognition of the critical role nursing leadership plays in healthcare. Integrating strengths-based approaches into nursing education enables positive learning settings and empowers nurses as leaders who foster healing and well-being for patients and their families. This paper describes an effort to integrate Strengths-Based Nursing and Healthcare (SBNH) and Strengths-Based Nursing and Healthcare Leadership (SBNH-L) into the development, implementation and evaluation of a postgraduate pediatric nursing program in Ghana. In the evaluation of the program in Ghana, three themes emerged related to strengths-based nursing: transformation of teaching and learning, impact on relationships with colleagues and impact on relationships with patients.

BACKGROUND
Child abuse is an important public health problem as it negatively affects the child's development as well as the child's family and therefore society. Nurses are one of the most important members of the team caring for child abuse victims and are indispensable in terms of child and family education.
OBJECTIVES
The research was carried out to determine the perceptions of third and fourth year nursing students, who took the Child Health and Diseases Nursing course, about child abuse through metaphor.
DESIGN
The research was carried out with the metaphor analysis technique based on the phenomenological method. "Metaphor analysis" is a technique based on the phenomenological research method within the qualitative research methods.
SETTINGS
The study was conducted at a state university in Turkey.
PARTICIPANTS
While the population of the research consisted of nursing department students in a facility, the sample consisted of third and fourth year nursing students who took the Child Health and Diseases Nursing Course. In the study in which 186 nursing students volunteered to participate, the study was completed with 174 students, since the answers of 12 students did not contain metaphors. 174 students who took the course participated in the research.
METHODS
The data were collected using the Student Information Form and the metaphor sentence "Child abuse is like … because…" questioning the perceptions of child abuse from June to August 2021.
RESULTS
At the time of the research, it was determined that all third and fourth year nursing students who took the Child Health and Diseases Nursing course in the institution had negative metaphors about "child abuse". The harm caused by child abuse to the child and the future has often been compared to natural disasters and catastrophes. Metaphors produced for the perception of "Child Abuse"; it is grouped under a total of five categories: Disaster, Damage, Never Beginning, Never Been Like Before, and Hunting.
CONCLUSIONS
Child abuse is a medical, pediatric and public health problem that must be reported. Nursing students' perceptions of the subject are very important, as it is among the duties, responsibilities and roles of nurses. The fact that child abuse is perceived by student nurses as the strong hurting the weak, the irreversible harm, or the fact that something good ends before it begins, reveals the importance of the situation. It clearly reflects the necessity of a course on child abuse in the nursing curriculum.

Critical Care Nurse Apr 2020Current communication styles in pediatric critical care units do not often consider the needs of providers, patients, or family members. (Review)
Review
TOPIC
Current communication styles in pediatric critical care units do not often consider the needs of providers, patients, or family members.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The Child Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems score has begun real-world testing and soon will be mandatory and tied to reimbursement. Poor communication in pediatric critical care units can lead to reduced continuity of care, escalated or unnecessary care, and poor outcomes for patients and hospitals. Improving communication in pediatric critical care units is imperative.
PURPOSE OF PAPER
Extant literature was reviewed to assess communication in pediatric critical care from the provider, parent, and patient perspectives. Communication tools were also reviewed.
CONTENT COVERED
Twenty-eight articles met inclusion criteria and were analyzed according to study focus (provider, parent/caregiver, patient, or tool). This review links communication to outcomes related to providers, parents, and patients. Current tools are reviewed to evaluate their effectiveness in addressing communication barriers and to guide future research in communication. Findings indicate that effective communication is challenging in intensive care units despite robust evidence that effective communication improves patient outcomes and quality metrics. Repeated and varied forms of communication, especially written reinforced with verbal communication, seem to have the strongest effect and show promising results. Common barriers nurses face on their units are identified, and solutions are suggested. This review adds to current knowledge by linking communication to measurable outcomes and examining communication barriers and needs specific to pediatric critical care populations from the provider, parent, and patient perspectives.

Review
BACKGROUND
Developing nursing research skills, awareness and research utilisation are important for improving healthcare outcomes and are key to ensuring the full understanding and knowledge base necessary for optimal delivery of care. Nevertheless, little is known about research awareness in children's nurses.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
To address this issue, an integrative literature review was conducted for studies published between January 2007 and January 2017 to obtain up-to-date evidence about the extent of research awareness and utilisation among children's nurses.
METHODS
Using PubMed, Cochrane Library, ILISI and CINAHL databases, 21 studies related to children's nurses' research awareness were included in the final review, which was later developed and structured in keeping with PRISMA checklist and guidelines.
CONCLUSIONS
The studies isolated show that nurses' knowledge about and utilisation of research vary and that there are many existent barriers to and facilitators of evidence-based practice in the paediatric setting. Some studies report that introducing a cultural and/or change in clinical practice change to improve research utilisation can have positive impacts on healthcare outcomes and the quality of nursing care of children. It is recommended that structured approaches to improving research utilisation be considered and additional research is needed to explore the benefits of these approaches.
RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE
Despite more than three decades of the evidence-based practice movement within nursing, barriers still exist among children's nurses in the use of research in practice. If the use of research to improve the delivery of children's nursing care is to become a reality, then nurses' research awareness needs to improve to underpin care delivery with optimal evidence in a cohesive informed manner.
