Special Issue on Child Health, Care and Development

Child health is the medical care of neonates and children up to adolescence, usually in an in-patient hospital or day-clinic. Being a support to children and their families is one component of direct nursing care. Awareness of the concerns of children and parents, being present physically at times of stress and implementing strategies to help children and family members cope are all part of the work.
