Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue titled 'Nursing Care of Children with Chronic Conditions', we wish to focus on the impact of chronic illness on children and parents, as well as the practical consequences of addressing their physical, psychological, and social needs, empowering them to be 'experts' in their care. We will address current recommendations and evidence-based practice, as well as the implications of having a sibling with a chronic condition. For each of these areas, specific attention will be devoted to contemporary political, economic, and social policies as well as climate change, which influence children's healthcare and provide problems for managers and professionals.
Finally, we encourage our contributors to submit articles, whether research, reviews, or case studies, that address issues related to classic and contemporary theories of grief, loss, coping, hope, and adaptation; ethical, legal, and professional aspects of nursing children and young people with chronic illnesses; home hospitalization; the importance of acute emergency care; and planning and realizing a child's effective transition to adult services.
