A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric critical care nursing
  • Healthcare management
  • Human resources in healthcare

Background:

  • Pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) are high-stress environments demanding precise care.
  • Pediatric critical care nursing is underdeveloped in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to resource limitations, staffing shortages, and brain drain.
  • Lack of career advancement and research opportunities hinders nursing development in India.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate multipronged strategies for empowering and motivating nursing personnel in a PICU.
  • To foster a collaborative and supportive team environment within the pediatric critical care setting.
  • To develop a reproducible model for nurse empowerment in resource-limited healthcare settings.

Main Methods:

  • Adoption of multipronged strategies focused on nurse empowerment and motivation.
  • Development of a 'horizontal team' model encouraging mutual respect and maximum capacity utilization.
  • Implementation within a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) setting.

Main Results:

  • Successful creation of a motivated nursing team where members feel valued and perform optimally.
  • Establishment of a collaborative 'horizontal team' structure.
  • Demonstration of a potentially reproducible model for nurse empowerment.

Conclusions:

  • Nurse empowerment strategies can effectively address challenges in pediatric critical care nursing in LMICs.
  • The 'horizontal team' model fosters a positive and productive work environment.
  • This approach offers a scalable solution for improving nursing capacity and retention in resource-limited settings.
