Abstract

Purpose

This paper is a report of a concept analysis of 'quality of pediatric nursing care'.

Methods

Rodgers's evolutionary method of concept analysis was used. Data were collected from published literature related to quality of pediatric nursing care.

Results

Quality of pediatric nursing care was identified with three dimensions and seven attributes: 1) nurse's character: technical competence, interpersonal competence, 2) nurse's activities: developmentally appropriate care, attentiveness, entertainment, 3) nurse-parent interaction: nurse-parent partnership, emotional support. Antecedents of quality of pediatric nursing care were 'child and parent's expectation about pediatric nursing care', 'previous caring experience of pediatric nurses'. Consequences of quality of pediatric nursing care were 'meet child and parent's needs' and 'better health outcomes.'

Conclusion

'Quality of pediatric nursing care' is a core concept in pediatric nursing practice. Appropriate instruments to operationalize the concept need to be developed.

Keywords: Concept analysis, Quality of healthcare, Pediatric nursing
