Description

This is the first of a series of text relating to the care of children whose health needs require primarily surgical treatment. This book is an introduction to the general practices and principles of caring for the child requiring surgery. It has been recognised for some time that children and young people require care that is appropriate and sensitive to their needs, delivered by a dedicated team of educated and skilled health care practitioners. Children and young people are developing individuals, with each developmental milestone havint its own unique perspectives and challenges. The health care practitioner needs to understand the dynamic interplay between the individual child or young person, their environment and stage of development in order to anticipate and meet their needs. The delivery of care and service provision must recognise each child and young person's individuality and the unique role of the family. Children's surgical nursing, like all health care in modern Western society, is affected by current technological revolution, advances in medical treatments and increased consumerism. This not only requires practitioners to develop new clinical skills within a constantly developing service, but also raises new ethical and moral questions. In addition, boundaries between professionals caring for children are becoming increasingly blurred; teamwork and an interdisciplinary approach to care are essential in today's health care arena.
