Opinions and attitudes of pediatric nurses for missed nursing care in Türkiye

This study aimed to determine the attitudes of nurses working in the pediatric clinics located in the northern region of Turkey towards missed care needs. This was a descriptive study. It was carried out in the pediatric clinics of a university and a research and training hospital providing service Turkey between January 131, 2022. The sample of the study consists of 121 nurses. A Personal Information Form and Missed Nursing Care Survey-Pediatric Version were used to collect data in the study. The data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0. It was found that 40.5% of the nurses were providing care to more than 6 patients per nurse and the number of nurses were insufficient in the units where 86.8% of the nurses were working. The most common missed care needs were identified as “administration of drug 30 minutes before or after the specified time” at a ratio of 53.8%, “providing oral care” at a ratio of 34.7% and “providing emotional support to the child and/or family” at a ratio of 33.9%. It was found that mean total Missed Nursing Care Survey-Pediatric Version score of the participants was 2.35±0.68. Mean scores of the subscales were found to be 2.75±0.79 in Labor Resources, 2.12±0.74 for Material Resources and 2.05±0.77 in Communication/Teamwork, respectively. This study has shown that the most common reason of missed nursing care was workload and the least common one was communication. missed nursing care is an important problem that needs to be overcome in order to create patient safety culture and to ensure the quality of nursing care. Therefore, it is highly crucial to recognize missed nursing care clearly.
