“…They had occupied their actual posts for more than 15 years and worked part time. The characteristics of our sample were similar to those of other international ECN samples in the literature (7,32,33). In accordance with another study, except for age and time at their actual post, these characteristics had no in uence on the frequency of action (34).…”

Background: The scope of practice for nurses caring for families has evolved to meet the challenges presented by societal changes and increasing needs. In 2015, early childhood nurses from a Swiss region decided to implement a new model of care to guide their practice. The aim of this study was to explore the changes to early childhood nurses’ practices following the implementation of the strengths-based nursing and healthcare (SBNH) approach to care. Methods: This study of early childhood nurses’ (N = 61) practices used a pre-post intervention design and a mixed-method approach. Nurses’ competencies and changes in practice were measured using the Nurse Competence Scale (NCS). The quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Kruskal Wallis tests and logistic regression. Thematic analysis was used to derive themes from the qualitative data. Results: After the intervention, frequency of competency use increased in all domains of the NCS except the “teaching-coaching” domain; perceived levels of competencies also increased in all areas except “helping role” and “diagnostic functions”. Age and length of employment at the current post hindered improvement in the “teaching-coaching” competency. Interviews revealed themes related to the implementation process: “adaptability”, “implementation process”, “ambivalence” and “engagement to change”. Other themes were related to practice changes: “developing a disciplinary identity”, “path with families” and “strengths”. Conclusion: This study showed that the use of perceived competencies changed over time after the introduction of SBNH into practice. Nurses questioned and adapted their routines based on SBNH. Nurse’s vision of care also changed; they felt that their care was congruent with their values. For families, this approach allowed a change of vision with a resource-centred approach. Implementation of models of care such as the SBNH in the early childhood context is innovative, as little research in the literature addresses the early childhood community home-visiting context is still modest. This research underlines the added value of this approach on early childhood nurses’ competencies.

“…ECN recognize, support and strengthen parents' capacities to meet their children's needs (6). This is in accordance with international de nitions that promote the use of strengths-based approaches (7). Since the introduction of SBNH, the focus has been on supporting families in identifying and empowering their strengths.…”

“…Nurses working in these services deliver universal child health services (Fraser et al., 2016). They are registered nurses with postgraduate qualifications in child and family health who undertake well‐child health assessment, advice on health promotion and disease prevention to children from 0 to 5 years of age (Johnston et al., 2020). Nurses offer child health services in different community settings such as child and family health centres, community health centres and home visits.…”

Aims To identify and critically appraise the available evidence on paediatric nurses’ clinical competencies performed autonomously regarding disease prevention and health promotion activities for children and adolescents in primary healthcare worldwide. Design A systematic review design in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses statement. Data sources The search was conducted through MEDLINE (PubMed), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, SCOPUS, The Cochrane Library, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Web of Science and The Joanna Briggs Institute EBP (Ovid) databases. The grey literature was reviewed at OpenGrey. Additional studies were located through a references list of selected studies identified on first search. Review methods Database search employed MeSH terms: (paediatric nursing) AND (primary healthcare) AND ((clinical skills) OR (clinical competences)). Studies published from inception to October 2019 exploring paediatric nurses' clinical competencies in primary healthcare were eligible for inclusion. No language restrictions were applied in the main search. Selection was made by two reviewers independently. Three independent reviewers assessed the methodological quality of included studies. Results Eighteen studies were included from six countries. The most common nursing competencies independently performed identified and described in studies were Health education and advice, Child and adolescent health and development assessment, Immunizations and Child health checks. Conclusion Studies describe clinical competencies of nurses in children care. No consistent scientific evidence is available about clinical competencies of paediatric nurses performed autonomously in primary care. Impact Few scientific studies identifying and assessing nurses' child primary healthcare skills were found and therefore recorded. Studies describe nurses' clinical skills in childhood, but results do not show firm consistency assessing their practice scope. Health policy‐makers should encourage the development of nurses' competencies if they wish to preserve quality and equity of healthcare services to children. Therefore, the first step is to identify the autonomous competencies of paediatric nurses in primary care.

“…Furthermore, the child has poor self-control ability and cannot actively cooperate with nursing operations, which affects the treatment and recovery of the disease. The concept of childlike refers to integrating treatment and nursing into children's emotional cognition through vision, hearing, language, and other means, aimed at improving children's cooperation, alleviating children's pain, and easing the doctor-patient relationship [ 8 ]. Refinement nursing makes up for the shortcomings of traditional nursing, emphasizes more on the patient-centered service concept, pays more attention to the actual needs of patients, improves nursing details, advocates active and humanized services, and promotes the entire nursing process to be more comprehensive, systematic, and seamless.…”

Objectives. To analyze the application of childlike concept with refined nursing intervention in the treatment of children with severe pneumonia. Methods. 100 cases of children with severe pneumonia admitted to our hospital from June 2019 to June 2021 were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group, in which the control group was given refined nursing care and the observation group was given the childlike concept with refined nursing intervention to compare the treatment effects of patients in both groups. The clinical indexes such as recovery time of body temperature, disappearance time of pulmonary rales, recovery time of heart rate, disappearance time of cough, and hospitalization time, were compared between the two groups. Results. Compared with the control group, the time to recovery of body temperature, time to disappearance of pulmonary rales, time to recovery of heart rate, time to disappearance of cough, and hospitalization time were significantly lower in the observation group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Compared with the control group, the compliance rate of patients in the observation group was significantly lower, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Compared with the control group, the total effective rate of patients in the observation group was significantly higher, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Compared with the control group, the overall satisfaction rate of patients in the observation group was significantly higher, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). The results of univariate analysis showed that the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ) in terms of economic conditions, payment method, child’s condition, child’s age, comorbid underlying diseases, and nursing care method, and the results of logistic multifactor regression analysis showed that the payment method of self-payment, child’s critical condition, and comorbid underlying diseases were the most important factors affecting the anxiety of the family members of children with severe pneumonia. risk factors for the occurrence of anxiety in the families of children with severe pneumonia, and the method of care was a protective factor ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. The concept of childlike fun and refined nursing interventions can effectively improve the treatment effect of children with severe pneumonia, improve patients’ condition, increase patients’ compliance and satisfaction, and reduce the risk of anxiety and other negative emotions of the child’s family members.
