TL;DR: The findings support the need for further research on the diagnostic reasoning of pediatric nurses and support methods to enhance pediatric nurses' collection and interpretation of data specific to the pediatric clinical setting.
Abstract: PURPOSE: To examine the data collecting and interpreting phases of the diagnostic reasoning process used by practicing pediatric nurses and to determine: (a) types of information deemed important for planning nursing care; (b) the functional health patterns addressed; and (c) frequency of validation of early hypotheses METHOD: Thirty-four registered nurses who attended continuing education pediatric nursing workshops were asked to analyze a written simulated case study discussing maternal-infant interaction Diagnostic cues in the case study were based on a framework that consisted of a clinical nursing model of maternal-infant interaction and selected nursing diagnoses Open-ended questions were used to examine subjects' attention to and interpretation of these cues FINDINGS: All subjects identified information related to the child's physical needs and the mother's responsibility to meet those needs as important for planning nursing care There was less attention given to the interaction of mother and child The most common response was identification of cues associated with five functional health patterns (294% of subjects) The functional health pattern, coping-stress tolerance, was addressed least often, although all nurses identified cues associated with role relationship Only 38% of the subjects identified the need for validation of early hypotheses CONCLUSION: The findings support the need for further research on the diagnostic reasoning of pediatric nurses Recommendations include methods to enhance pediatric nurses' collection and interpretation of data specific to the pediatric clinical setting

TL;DR: In addition to the benefits for students, pediatric nurse educators in Australia have been able to develop closer ties to the community as well as influence the government to amend the Department of Education school curricula to include a greater health promotion component.
Abstract: A glimpse at an innovative Australian clinical teaching program provides us with insight on alternative learning experiences in which student pediatric nurses learn essential communication skills with well children in kindergarten classes prior to caring for ill ones whose behaviors have changed due to hospitalization. In addition to the benefits for students, pediatric nurse educators in Australia have been able to develop closer ties to the community as well as influence the government to amend the Department of Education school curricula to include a greater health promotion component, to be achieved in cooperation with university nurses.
