These experiences create suffering for children and adolescents, and influence their daily lives. Besides finding techniques to decrease the number of needle procedures in the treatment, research should focus on implementing methods to decrease pain, fear, and other negative experiences as well as to promote self-coping. This is urgent, since needle-related fear has an impact on glycaemic control and therefore increases the risk of long-term complications.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Clinical Implications</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>When caring for children and adolescents with diabetes, their previous experiences with needle procedures need to be considered.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":54900,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Specialists in Pediatric Nursing","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9166371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These children have unique physical, developmental, and psychological needs that must be addressed as they integrate into adoptive families. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify considerations nurses must recognize when caring for children with complex health conditions or disabilities who are ICA and their families.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Design and Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>A systematic literature review in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines was conducted. Four databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and ERIC) located 365 articles about intercountry adoption and complex health conditions or disability. Articles that were non-English language, focused on attachment disorder or infectious disease, book chapters, dissertations, or case studies were excluded. Sixteen articles met inclusion criteria and informed this review.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The systematic review identified eight themes: primary care resources, interdisciplinary care teams, cost, developmental difficulties, nutritional challenges, mental health issues, parental need for knowledge, and parental need for support. These themes correspond to nursing assessments that should be conducted during clinic visits for children with complex health conditions or disabilities who are ICA.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Practice Implications</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This systematic review demonstrates that a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to address the needs of the child diagnosed with a complex health condition or disability and their family in the context of intercountry adoption. Children with a complex health condition or disability who are ICA have unique needs and require individualized care planning to maximize growth and developmental potential. Adoption is a life-long process and adjustment is complicated by the medical needs that children with complex health conditions or disabilities experience. Parents will benefit from additional support and education as they integrate a new family member while also learning about the medical care needs of a child with a complex health condition or disability.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":54900,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Specialists in Pediatric Nursing","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10682428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
