This was a cross-sectional correlational quantitative study with the participation of 280 children with asthma admitted to outpatient consultation and to a hospitalization service at a tier IV health institution in the city of Bogotá. An inverse correlation was found between stress and coping (<i>r</i> = -0.581; <i>p</i> < .05); between stress and asthma control (<i>r</i> = -0.545¸ <i>p</i> < .05); and a direct correlation between coping and asthma control (<i>r</i> = 0.759; <i>p</i> < .05). The results show that children with low stress levels have greater control of their disease and assume functional coping against their health status. The theory of Adaptation to Chronic Health Conditions permitted analyzing children's conduct and behaviors against a health situation. These findings provide evidence for promoting interventions directly to patients with asthma, focusing on patients, families, and schools.

Pre-registration nursing programs are mostly designed to start with the development of the infant leading to the critically ill child with reference to developing a reasonable understanding in mental and emotional health at some point over the course delivery. The complexities of caring for children require nurses who are fully conversant with the unique needs of this client group. Yet the most emotive and sensitive issues that influence children’s emotional wellbeing remain somewhat understudied within pre-registration nursing due to the challenging nature of the subjects and emotional impact on students learning in the classroom (Mills et al., 2021). Research informs us that young people are willing to engage in understanding much more about their mental health and emotional wellbeing (Omari et al., 2019) despite stigma and discrimination in society. Yet many health-care professionals require support in having confidence in providing a non-judgmental service that is both empathetic and practical (Trainor, 2020). Discrimination remains particularly prevalent toward young people expressing themselves as transgender or non-binary, a minority group whose characteristics and needs (Gender Recognition Act, 2004) should be understood, as well as the mental health needs of Black and Asian children which are overlooked far too often within healthcare (Burton et al., 2014). Along with implementing ethnic-racial socialization (Priest et al., 2014) a deeper exploration of egregious cultural practices of female genital mutilation (Balkozar, 2020), honor-based violence and forced marriages (Gregory et al., 2020), human trafficking (Raker, 2020), or violated mothers modeling aggressive behavior toward their children (Morgan, 2020) remain too often outside the 3-year program. Embedding these emotionally challenging topics within the BSc in Children’s Nursing requires skill, planning, and sensitivity by nurse educators. For many years, performing diagnostics to confirm conditions such as type 1 diabetes or throat infection has become quicker and more accurate (Shatkin, 2015), whereas the lack of accurate testing to determine why a child is exhibiting behaviors of anger, irritability, and withdrawal in the absence of any physical illness remains complex and inexact. Nor is there an exact formula in helping children deal with loss.","PeriodicalId":72655,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive child and adolescent nursing","volume":"44 2","pages":"86-89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24694193.2021.1925074","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38900830","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}

We collected data regarding clinical information, the number of hospitalizations and ED visits related to asthma in the past 12 months, asthma management behaviors, and quality of life of children. Multivariable logistic regression was performed using SPSS (20.0). A total of 90 children have participated in the study. The percentage of children aged 7 to 11 years was higher than the percentage of adolescents aged 12 to 17 years (67.8%; 32.2%, respectively).

These contribute to poor outcomes including children dying within the first 24 hours of hospital admission. Training of health care workers and support staff in Emergency Triage Assessment and Treatment (ETAT) at primary care levels can help improve care of children with acute and severe illnesses. Health care workers and support staff in the primary care settings were trained in pediatric ETAT. The training package for health care workers was adapted from the Ministry of Health ETAT training for district and tertiary health care. Content for support staff focused on non-technical responsibility for lifesaving in emergency situations. The primary health care facilities were provided with a minimum treatment package comprising emergency equipment, supplies and drugs. Supportive supervisory visits were conducted quarterly. The training manual for health care workers was adapted from the Ministry of Health package and the support staff training manual was developed from the adapted package. Eight hundred and seventy-seven participants were trained (336 health care workers and 541 support staff). Following the training, triaging of patients improved and patients were managed as emergency, priority or non-urgent. This reduced the number of referral cases and children were stabilized before referral. Capacity building of health care workers and support staff in pediatric ETAT and the provision of a basic health center package improved practice at the primary care level.
