A cross sectional design was utilized. A convenient sample of 858 participants aged between 15–24 years old completed a survey. Participants under 19 years were accessed through their schools and those 19 years and above were accessed through universities. Results showed that although the majority of university and school students’ responses were generally consistent, they disagreed on 11 items on the survey; for example, 186 (39.3%) of university students agreed that mental illness has a biological origin compared with only 119 (30%) of school students. The majority of young people 737 (85.9%) were willing to learn and 792 (92.3%) felt that they have to help people with mental illness, which make them willing to learn. In conclusion, the findings provide insights for decision makers and researchers in Jordan about young peoples’ knowledge and attitudes toward mental illness. Increasing young adults’ literacy through introducing educational programs such as mental health first aid courses will enrich their knowledge; help change attitudes and reduce stigma toward people living with mental illness.","PeriodicalId":45903,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Child and Adolescent Nursing-Building Evidence for Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2019-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24694193.2019.1670752","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41626198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As Mayall (2002) pointed out, children need an adult who is available and reliable. It does not matter who that is, but an adult must fill this role to facilitate children’s maturation into adult society. It seems equally obvious that illness would disrupt a child’s relationships. Lastly, it does not take a genius to observe that nurses work with children and this requires them to work with those who care for children (in the main, the available and reliable adults in the child’s life). So why have nurses paid so little attention to the ways in which children living with illness are parented? Sure, there are papers on parental coping with specific diseases and conditions (Allen, 2014; Cataudella & Zelcer, 2012;Wei et al., 2016) and work by psychologists on parental coping (Darlington, Korones, & Norton, 2017; Heath, Farre, & Shaw, 2016), but very little from nurses (Coyne, 2008). Consider that nurses rely on parents to deliver care. Indeed, nurses might want to facilitate and encourage parental care as an experience of childhood, because children benefit from being looked after by their parents (carers) when they are unwell (Randall, 2018). This experience might be shared with other children who have illness in childhood or other challenges and who are supported and nurtured by their parents (carers). Yet we have no measures to assess how well parents are parenting a child who lives with illness. We do not have a valid and reliable way to determine if parents are able to undertake their role as parents, nor if they have the capacity, skills, and understanding to deliver nursing care delegated by nurses and the medical team. Often nurses will use an intuitive approach, such as, for instance, stating that families are not coping or mothers/fathers are close to breaking down! While intuition can be helpful it can also be subject to unconscious bias. Some carers may show their distress when feeling under pressure, others may seek to hide their distress or display behaviors that nurses do not associate with being unable to cope. Thus, while intuition may identify some parents who are struggling, it may not help nurses to identify all parents. If an intuitive unstructured approach is adopted, there is also a danger that those who shout loudest and in behave in","PeriodicalId":45903,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Child and Adolescent Nursing-Building Evidence for Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24694193.2019.1683386","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47451883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Non-accidental head injury (NAHI) is a major cause of mortality in young children with survivors often having to live a life with severe developmental and neurological dysfunction. The aim of this hermeneutic phenomenological research study was to examine the lived experiences of nurses who care for children and their families admitted to hospital with a non-accidental head injury. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six nurses who had at least five years’ experience of nursing children with NAHI. Following the interpretive approach described by van Manen data was analyzed and two essential themes identified. Firstly, nursing children with NAHI is different from the care of children admitted with a similar neurological injury related to accidental injuries or medical conditions. Secondly, when nursing these children nurses adopt protective qualities, conceptualized in this study as a shield of protection. The findings of this study support the findings of other studies in regard to the emotional labor required of nurses caring for children who have been subject to child abuse and the importance for nurses of maintaining a professional demeanor. The study highlighted the tensions of sustaining a family-centered care approach when caring for a child with NAHI. It is argued that greater acknowledgment and emotional support for nurses is needed and that a child-centered approach offers a more compatible model of care than Family-Centered Care in the acute phase of caring for children with a NAHI.","PeriodicalId":45903,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Child and Adolescent Nursing-Building Evidence for Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2019-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24694193.2019.1654039","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45808808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current research aims at exploring experiences of teen mothers with stress and stressors of early motherhood. This qualitative study was conducted using conventional content analysis through in-depth semistructured interview. Eighteen Iranian teen mothers, who experienced parenting stress, with maximum variation in the age of first pregnancy, child’s age, place of residence, and financial condition took part in this research. Data collection continued until saturation and were analyzed using MAXQDA10 software. Data analysis led to extraction of five categories including “storm of anxiety,” “wander identity,” “an unaccompanied way,” “unarmed combat,” and “a tired body.” Teen mothers experienced tensions such as fear and worry, isolation and loneliness, regret, shame, depression, and doubt. These tensions originated from identity conflicts, inadequate social support, role inefficiencies, physical problems, and responsibilities. Teen mothers are influenced by various physical, psychological, social, and economic stressors which are in relation with the teenage, motherhood role, and the environment. Nurses are the major source of support for the teen mothers. Nurses should identify stress and stressors in teen mothers and strengthen well-being feeling in the teen mothers and their children through care, educational, consultative, and coordination interventions.","PeriodicalId":45903,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Child and Adolescent Nursing-Building Evidence for Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2019-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24694193.2019.1651420","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46127322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Population density for the most part is in the south part of Canada along the border with the United States. However, there are many smaller rural and/or remote communities, especially in northern Canada. Environmental factors such as weather and long distances between patient and provider and transport issues such as no road access to communities can isolate populations and inhibit recruitment and retention of health-care staff. Such difficulties limit access to acute and specialist health-care infrastructure and resources (Auditor General of British Columbia, 2018). Health-care delivery across Canada is impacted by provincial and territorial government in organizing and resourcing health care. Federal government cofinances some health programs and has informed various funding models, i.e., nonprofit hospitals, fee-for-service, and medication payment policies (Government of Canada, 2018). While approximately 37 million people live in Canada, over the last 40 years (1971–2010), the proportion of those less than 24 years of age has declined by 18.2% (Statistics Canada, 2010). While children account for approximately 16.5% of the population (Statistics Canada, 2010), little variation exists across age groups: 1.9 million (0–4 years), 2 million (5–9 years), 2 million (10–14 years), and 2.1 million (15–19 years) (Statistics Canada, 2017). For indigenous children and youth living in Canada, there is a legacy of colonization, residential schools, and the impact this holds for families and caregivers, community, and nursing (Unicef, 2009). The importance of cultural competence, trauma-informed care, and indigenous knowing are critical when working with all children and their families. When delivering culturally appropriate care to First Nation,Métis, and Inuit people, children’s nurses (or care providers)must also consider Jordan’s Principle (Government of Canada, 2019). The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (2016) ruled that approaches to health, social care, and community services for First Nations children were discriminatory, resulting in legislation changes outlined in Jordan’s Principle.","PeriodicalId":45903,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Child and Adolescent Nursing-Building Evidence for Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24694193.2019.1650599","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48159265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
