| Popis: | AIM: This qualitative study explored the experiences of nurses working in a hospital paediatric department, who had direct involvement in child protection cases, to discover their support needs and suggest developments in training and support. BACKGROUND: The study was inspired by an awareness of increasing anxiety amongst nurses involved in child protection cases. METHOD: A phenomenological approach was used with fifteen nurses during semi-structured interviews, which were taped, transcribed and analysed thematically. RESULTS: Involvement in child protection has a lasting impact; nurses need procedural information from a knowledgeable supporter during a case; and, they need individualized support. The personal qualities of the Named Nurse for Safeguarding Children were crucial. CONCLUSIONS: Involvement in child protection cases has lasting effects for individuals. The emotions generated can lead to interagency and inter-professional communication difficulties and affect the future management of child protection by individuals. Seeking support can be hampered by individuals' fear of ridicule or of making a mistake. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: This study has implications for the training of children's nurses in child protection procedures, and the provision of appropriate effective support for individuals. The long-term effects of involvement are previously unreported by nurses. Language: en |
