The future of pediatric nursing science

Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

The provision of safe and effective nursing care to children is dependent upon pediatric nurse scientists creating knowledge that guides and directs day-to-day nursing practice. Current trends demonstrating steady decreases of pediatric nurses and inadequate numbers of PhD-prepared pediatric nurse scientists put the health of our children at risk. The purposes of this paper are to (1) summarize current health care demands in pediatrics, (2) present our concern that the number of pediatric nurse scientists is inadequate to generate foundational knowledge to guide pediatric nursing practice, (3) present our perspectives on factors influencing the number of pediatric nurse scientists, and (4) recommend specific actions for nursing leaders, nursing faculty, and professional nursing organizations to increase the depth and breadth of pediatric nursing science to meet current and future pediatric care needs.
