Celebrating five decades of pediatric nursing progress: Achievements, persistent challenges and future directions
Background
Pediatric nursing has evolved from a limited subset of general nursing to a dynamic specialty grounded in evidence-based practice, family-centered care, and technological integration over the past 50 years. The establishment of family-centered care, advances in neonatal intensive care, expanded roles for pediatric nurse practitioners, innovations in chronic disease management, and the integration of telehealth and digital solutions were major milestones at that time.
Current challenges
Health inequities, rising mental health disorders among youth, pediatric nursing workforce shortages, climate-related health threats, and ethical complexities linked to technological advances have emerged during this period.
Aim
The main aim of this commentary is to reflect on historical achievements, critically examine current barriers to optimal pediatric health outcomes, and propose strategic actions to address systemic gaps.
Recommendations for the future
Children worldwide could achieve their full potential if pediatric nurses work towards strengthening health equity, integrating mental health services, investing in workforce development, expanding digital health access, enhancing climate and ethical preparedness, and promoting pediatric nurse leadership; the next era of pediatric nursing can ensure this.
Conclusion
Pediatric nurses remain uniquely positioned as compassionate caregivers, innovators, and advocates in the evolving healthcare landscape.
