Research priorities for the nursing of children and their families: A Delphi study

Developing a Culture to Facilitate Research Capacity Building for Clinical Nurse Consultants in Generalist Paediatric Practice

“…Research priority setting in paediatric nursing, including specialties, has been a focus of studies since the 1990s [15, 30–33]. In America, a Delphi Technique has been used by both Schmidt et al, [31] and Broome et al [30] to determine the research priorities for paediatric nurses.…”

“…In America, a Delphi Technique has been used by both Schmidt et al, [31] and Broome et al [30] to determine the research priorities for paediatric nurses. The Schmidt study identified the top five priorities as analgesic drip weaning, central line dressings, analgesic dosing, procedural pain, growth and development knowledge [31].…”

Translational Research—The Essential Interface Between Pediatric Nurses and Parents: Advancing Pediatric Nursing Practice

“…The major pediatric nursing practice challenges included: (a) care issues across the continuum (increased patient acuity and care burden), (b) health promotion and preventive care, (c) workforce issues, (d) quality and safety, (e) societal issues, and (f) research and technology. The overarching theme for pediatric nursing research priorities and practice challenges was identified in relation to nursing roles, reflecting a major shift in priorities from the 1996 Dephi study of pediatric nursing research priorities published in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing (Broome, Woodring, & O'Connor-Von, 1996). Findings from the present study may inform future pediatric nursing research and guide pediatric nursing practice.…”

Identifying Nursing Research Priorities in a Pediatric Clinical Trials Cooperative Group: The Pediatric Oncology Group Experience

“…Groups within the discipline of nursing who have used this technique include nursing administration (Henry, et al, 1987), orthopedic nursing (Sedlak, Ross, Arslanian, & Taggart, 1998), care of children and their families (Broome, Woodring, & O'Connor-Von, 1996;Schmidt, (Abbott, Diomede, Johnson, & MacIlraith, 1994), critical care (Daly, Chang, & Bell, 1996), acute care (Cronin & Owsley, 1993), pediatric oncology (Hinds, et al, 1990;Hinds, et al, 1994), oncology (Funkhouser & Grant, 1988;Oberst, 1978), and nurses giving care to patients who have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS (Benedict, 1990). The technique has also been used as the basis for establishing or focusing research programs (Dennis, Howes, & Zelauskas, 1989;Forte, Ritz, & Balestracci, 1997;Hinds, et al, 1990) in that topics that receive the highest priority ratings become the research focus areas for the respective programs.…”
