Abstract
Objective
A pediatric emergency department deals with a vast number of patients and a high load of emergent/high-priority healthcare practices. Therefore, at times, it is possible to experience missed nursing care in this department. This study aims to ascertain the types of and reasons for missed nursing care cases in pediatric emergency departments in Turkey.
Method
This is a cross-sectional survey study. Survey data were collected from 155 nurses using the “Introductory Information Form” and the “MISSCARE-Pediatric Emergency Department Survey.”
Results
Gastrostomy care, colostomy care, tracheotomy care, and teaching about hospital discharge were the care practices most often missed. The volume of patients, urgent patient situations, an inadequate number of nurses in charge, too many inexperienced nurses in the department, and assignment of work outside the scope of the job are the main reasons for missed care.
Conclusion
Pediatric emergency department patients experience missed nursing care and nurses should be supported more in order for them to provide efficient care to children.
