Child-Centred Nursing
Promoting Critical Thinking



March 2014 | 192 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd

Child-Centred Nursing presents a unique approach by bringing children to the fore of the discussion about their health and health care. It encourages you to think critically about children, their families and contemporary practice issues. It promotes reflection on how you can develop innovative practice so as to improve children’s health outcomes and their experiences of health care.

Clinical case studies and critical thinking exercises are included in each chapter, creating and sustaining a clear link between professional practice, research and theory.

The book is essential reading for all pre-registration and post-graduate students studying children’s and young people’s health care.

 
Approaches to Nursing Children, Young People and their Families
 
Children’s and Young People’s Position and Participation in Society, Health Care and Research
 
Consulting and Informing Children and Young People
 
Children and Young People Having Choices and Making Health Decisions
 
How Settings Shape Children’s and Young People’s Care
 
Understanding Children’s and Young People’s Experiences of Illness
 
Examining Practice: Improving the Care of Children and Young People
 
Closing Thoughts: Celebrating Success and Aspiring for Better

This book really helps students to develop critical thinking within their nursing practice. The case studies throughout the book give them a focus and helps them to consider the impact of decisions on the child and family. I would recommend this book as essential reading for all student nurses embarking on a career in child health nursing.

Essential reading for children's and young people's nurses and those aspiring to a career in nursing. The voice of the child comes across clearly through the use of case studies and in the clear and insightful way gaps in our understanding are challenged using a child-centred approach. The reader is encouraged to reflect on key concepts throughout and link these to best practice to improve not just the health of the child, but also their experience of receiving care.

This book provides a great introduction to the fundamental principles of paediatric nursing designed in a language that is easy for all to follow. Having reviewed the topic areas within the contents this book sits perfectly within the core foundations module for child health nursing students at Plymouth University.

This is an excellent and informative text for Child Health Nursing students. It has interesting case studies that cover care issues as well as considering the use of audit. The book looks at children's nursing worldwide and is not just UK based.
