This study aimed to determine and weight the possible risk factors for central line associated bloodstream infections in children with central venous/port catheters using the Delphi method and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process.

Sudden unexpected infant death (sudden infant death, sleep environment death) is the leading cause of mortality for infants aged 1-11 months and contributes to >3500 deaths each year. Infant safe sleep knowledge and practice gaps exist in many inpatient settings. The purpose of this research was to modify and establish content validity of an inpatient shift-based safe sleep screening tool (SAFE-T).

The management of pain and procedural anxiety in chronically ill children is a complex challenge, often without standardised protocols. Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming an effective immersive distraction strategy to reduce pain without resorting to medication.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental illnesses affecting children. Sleep is essential for overall health, happiness, and daily functioning; thus it should be a top priority for people with ADHD. We aimed to examine the impact of parental sleep hygiene education to improve sleep and behavioral outcomes in children with ADHD.

Parents experience significant stress when their baby receives a prenatal diagnosis that will require surgical treatment. This study aimed to explore parents' experiences of a neonatal surgical pathway and develop recommendations for support.

Infants with congenital gastrointestinal malformations often face complex care needs post-discharge, resulting in parents managing care needs they have not previously thought they should perform. When the caregiver burden is perceived too high it can negatively affect the mental health and quality of life. However, it is unclear how the state of the parents' mental health and their support needs are during their infant's patient pathway.

This paper describes the framework of the National Pediatric Nurse Scientist Collaborative as one solution to the varied implementation and sustainability of the hospital-based nurse scientist role within children's hospitals and/or pediatric health systems. We share the NPNSC framework, including our vision and mission, organizational structure, and the collaborative's overarching goals. Implemented in 2012, the results of this sustained national effort for hospital-based nurse scientists include enhanced collaborative research, strengthened professional growth and career development, optimized organizational role integration, and patient and policy advocacy. Proven effective and sustainable, the NPNSC framework can be applied to support niche expertise, on a national scale, as evidenced by the adoption of the framework by an emerging collaborative of evidence-based practice specialists accountable for their pediatric hospitals' evidence-based practice programs' infrastructure, strategy, and impact.

This study aimed to assess the quality and reliability of pediatric vaccination videos on YouTube from a nursing perspective and to identify hesitancy-related cues, indicators, and deterrents present in the content.

This study evaluated the effect of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) and Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS) support on pediatric anxiety during invasive procedures in a hospital setting. It was hypothesized that patients undergoing procedures with AAT would experience less anxiety than with CCLS services alone.

To determine the effect of ice packs and lukewarm gel pads on pain and anxiety during surgical drain removal in children aged 9-18 years.

This study aims to examine the correlation between cyberchondria, problematic internet use, and health anxiety among adolescents METHOD: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 400 students between January 2025 and march 2025. Data were collected using a "Socio-Demographic Data Form", the "Cyberchondria Severity Scale-Short Form (CSS-12)," the "Problematic Internet Use Scale (PIUS)", and the "Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI)" RESULTS: Findings of the study revealed no significant difference between the CSS-12 mean scores and the variables (p > .05). Significant differences were observed between the total and subscale scores of the PIUS and the HAI in terms of daily internet use duration, age, and chronic disease status (p < .05). A weak positive significant correlation was found between the CSS-12 and PIUS (p < .05). Similarly, there was a weak positive significant correlation between the CSS-12 and the HAI, and between the PIUS and the HAI (p < .05) CONCLUSION: It was determined that higher levels of cyberchondria among students were associated with increased problematic internet use and health anxiety. Furthermore, higher levels of problematic internet use increased health anxiety. Developing awareness programs for students and implementing measures to filter health-related information on websites may have positive effects PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: This study provides important implications for paediatric nursing practice. Paediatric nurses can play a key role in educating adolescents and their parents about cyberchondria, problematic internet use, and health anxiety. They can participate in and implement interventions aimed at preventing these behaviours.

Screen use has become an integral part of children's daily lives, yet little is known about its patterns and associated factors among pediatric cancer patients undergoing active treatment.

This study investigates the effect of marbling art on improving the psychological resilience of mothers of children with intellectual disabilities.

To explore the lived experience of pediatric nurses caring for child maltreatment victims when the suspected offender is present at the bedside, a context that presents unique ethical and emotional challenges.

Non-pharmacological interventions are increasingly applied to reduce injection-related pain and anxiety in children. Leuprolide injections, commonly used for precocious puberty, may cause considerable distress. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the magic glove technique in reducing pain and anxiety during these injections.

This study was designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a pretest-posttest design to investigate the effects of mandala art therapy on nausea, vomiting, pain, and anxiety in children and youth undergoing outpatient chemotherapy.

This study aimed to explore parents' experiences and psychosocial problems related to their preterm infants with congenital heart disease hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit.

The study aimed to identify the prevalence of trauma-related symptoms among Palestinian school-age children and to examine the association between trauma exposure and various sociodemographic characteristics, as well as to evaluate maternal awareness and attitudes toward trauma in children.

To explore communication behaviors of nurses and parent dyads of hospitalized children with home ventilator dependency (HVD).

The development of the mother-baby relationship and the optimal functional and structural brain development of newborns occur during the first hours after birth; hence, this period is considered the sacred hours. However, invasive procedures performed on newborns after birth cause pain, distress, and discomfort.
