Child health matters remain low on the government agenda, and present reforms of the NHS are overtly concerned with financial aspects rather than the quality of care. Pediatric nurses must therefore become more assertive and pro-active in their role as advocates for children and their families. However, pediatric nurses are extremely fortunate in the UK because they have (a) a nurse education system that has always recognized that the nursing needs of children are different to those of adults, (b) the opportunity to work with medical and voluntary organizations committed to improving children's health, and (c) a professional organization that is not only large and powerful, but since 1984 has been committed to advancing the art and science of pediatric nursing. It employs a full-time adviser to assist its members and publishes the only pediatric nursing journal. Pediatric nurses have assisted in advancing the art and science of pediatric nursing with caring for children and their families in a holistic fashion, with families supported and participating in their child's care. But there are still many opportunities to improve the quality of health care to children and their families. Quality caring is what children and their families want and deserve, but is not as easy to measure as quantity care. At a time when in so many countries, health service managers concentrate on quantity, pediatric nurses must use every opportunity to shape the health policy of their nation for the benefit of children. We all live in interesting times and it would be interesting to see what we make of them on behalf of children.

Review
BACKGROUND
Paediatric nurses often face complex situations requiring decisions that sometimes clash with their own values and beliefs, or with the needs of the children they care for and their families. Paediatric nurses often use new technology that changes the way they provide care, but also reduces their direct interaction with the child. This may generate ethical issues, which nurses should be able to address in the full respect of the child. Research question and objectives: The purpose of this review is to describe the main ethical dimensions of paediatric nursing. Our research question was, 'What are the most common ethical dimensions and competences related to paediatric nursing?'
RESEARCH DESIGN
A rapid evidence assessment.
METHOD
According to the principles of the rapid evidence assessment, we searched the PubMed, SCOPUS and CINAHL databases for papers published between January 2001 and March 2015. These papers were then independently read by two researchers and analysed according to the inclusion criteria. Ethical considerations: Since this was a rapid evidence assessment, no approval from the ethics committee was required.
FINDINGS
Ten papers met our inclusion criteria. Ethical issues in paediatric nursing were grouped into three areas: (a) ethical issues in paediatric care, (b) social responsibility and (c) decision-making process.
CONCLUSION
Few studies investigate the ethical dimensions and aspects of paediatric nursing, and they are mainly qualitative studies conducted in critical care settings based on nurses' perceptions and experiences. Paediatric nurses require specific educational interventions to help them resolve ethical issues, contribute to the decision-making process and fulfil their role as advocates of a vulnerable population (i.e. sick children and their families). Further research is needed to investigate how paediatric nurses can improve the involvement of children and their families in decision-making processes related to their care plan.

Review
BACKGROUND
Cultural sensitivity is a core concept to establish awareness and knowledge about various ethnicities, cultures, genders and additional diversity characteristics to understand individual's requests and respond appropriately to them. A need for further development of the concept is warranted, especially in the context of paediatric nursing.
AIMS
The purpose of this paper was to determine the main elements of cultural sensitivity in the context of paediatric nursing in Iran.
METHODS
The Hybrid method was implemented consisting of three phases: theoretical, fieldwork and final analysis. In the theoretical phase, articles from 2007 to 2017 were reviewed for relevance. In the phase of fieldwork, 25 nurses and nine parents were interviewed to explore the aspects of cultural sensitivity in paediatric nursing. The interviews were transcribed, and content analysis was conducted. In the final phase, an overall analysis of the two previous phases was performed.
RESULTS
In the theoretical phase, the following attributes were determined: cultural encounter and awareness, acceptance of cultural diversity and designing programmes in accordance with family culture. The fieldwork phase explored three themes of intercultural encounters, intercultural communication and adapting the care plan with family culture. The final synthesis yielded that sensitivity to family requests and beliefs, effective intercultural communication and integration of family culture with the care plan are the main elements of cultural sensitivity in Iranian paediatric nursing.
CONCLUSION
With a deeper understanding of the term cultural sensitivity, nurses will have a foundation to improve paediatric nursing care and align the care plan with the patient's culture to provide trust, child/parent participation, secure care, effective communication and satisfaction. Since the concepts are the building blocks that underpin theory, the present concepts identified can help to serve as the foundation for the development of a theoretical model.
