Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nursing
  • End-of-Life Care
  • Healthcare Education

Background:

  • Pediatric nurses provide extensive bedside care for children and families facing end-of-life (EOL) situations.
  • Existing research indicates a significant gap between undergraduate nursing education and the practical skills required for optimal EOL care.
  • Nurses frequently enter practice feeling unprepared to manage the complexities of pediatric EOL care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical role of pediatric nurses in end-of-life care.
  • To underscore the deficiencies in current undergraduate nursing education regarding EOL care preparation.
  • To emphasize the need for improved training to equip nurses for pediatric EOL care.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of previous research on nursing education and end-of-life care.
  • Analysis of studies examining the preparedness of newly graduated nurses for pediatric EOL care.
  • Synthesis of findings regarding the perceived inadequacies in undergraduate curricula.

Main Results:

  • Undergraduate nursing education does not adequately prepare nurses for pediatric end-of-life care.
  • Nurses often lack essential skills and knowledge upon entering practice to manage EOL situations.
  • Multiple factors contribute to this educational deficit, as identified in prior research.

Conclusions:

  • There is a critical need to enhance undergraduate nursing curricula to include comprehensive pediatric end-of-life care training.
  • Improved education is essential to ensure nurses are competent and confident in providing EOL care to children and families.
  • Addressing this educational gap is vital for improving the quality of care at the end of life for pediatric patients.
