Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Pediatric nurses are those nurses which care for children belonging to all age groups in a variety of healthcare settings. They possess ample knowledge about growth and development, as they are mainly involved in all round development of the child. Also, they include family members in their efforts to care for their child. Being a paediatric nurse is a highly satisfying, yet an extremely demanding career. Apart from high empathy and sensitivity skills a person should possess excellent communication skills so as form a close bond with the child. One of the main aspect of the job is understanding what the child is trying to say. Interpreting a child's behaviour forms the crux of the job as they often won't be explain clearly what or how they are feeling. Not only this job requires patience, but dedication also. It gets ramified many times when we include the concept of culturally sensitive care. Cultural attributes of children and families, including race, ethnicity, language, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability, and socioeconomic status etc will always be a matter of great importance and the attending nurse has to be understanding to them so as to be able to provide effective healthcare. This paper effectively highlights how being culturally sensitive, can quickly form a deeper bond between the attending nurse and the patient and aid in quicker recovery. Thus, making the nurses more tolerant towards different ethnicities and cultures by training programmes will benefit the community in the long run
