Area of Science:

Nursing
Pediatric Care
Healthcare Quality

Background:

Nursing care left undone is a recognized issue in healthcare.
Factors influencing omissions in pediatric nursing require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the relationship between nursing care left undone in pediatric settings.
To identify associations with nursing staff characteristics and the work environment.

Main Methods:

Cross-sectional observational study using the RN4CAST@IT-Ped database.
Inclusion of 13 Italian pediatric hospitals and data from pediatric nurses.
Analysis of aggregated data by clinical care area using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Main Results:

Data collected from 2238 pediatric nurses across surgical, medical, and critical care units.
Poor perceived healthcare quality, poor patient safety, and nurses' intention-to-leave were associated with care omissions.
Significant statistical associations were found for all investigated nursing activities.

Conclusions:

Findings align with international literature on frequent nursing activity omissions.
Understanding these associations can guide improvements in patient-centered care, quality, and safety in pediatrics.
Enhancing the work environment is crucial for reducing nursing care left undone.
