CHILD HEALTH NURSING
(Redirected from Paediatric nursing)
'Child health nursing' is an area of nursing and medical practice with a focus on providing holistic care to infants, children and adolescents. It differs from paediatrics, in that the emphasis in paediatrics is ill-health and the alleviation of symptoms or disease.
One of the major principles of paediatric nursing is the concept of family centred care. Paediatric nurses function to support the family by providing nursing care that the family cannot perform, educating and supporting them to maintain their normal caring activities and actively viewing the parents as partners in the care process.
