Tiivistelmä
Paediatric care is a branch of health care that attends to the basic medical, surgical, clinical and holistic care of infants, children and adolescents reaching the age of 18years. Children who are unable to attain optimal emotional, social, cognitive and behavioural development in their daily lives or are persistently finding it difficult to physically and mentally interact, cope with problems, form relationships or succeed at simple tasks maybe regarded as having unstable mental health.
The goal of this thesis is to explore the experiences of nurses who provide mental health nursing care for pediatric patients at the various healthcare units by examining some challenges they encounter in order to raise awareness on how these experiences and the resultant feelings can affect the provision of mental health care for pediatric patients. The aim is to ensure the continued provision of patient- centred care for paediatric patients suffering from mental health problems.
The method adopted was literature review and based on this; searches were conducted using three (3) evidence-based scientific research databases which includes; CINAHL accessed through Centria UAS library (Finna), Google Scholar and PubMed. The detailed search on Google Scholar yielded access to works published on academic databases like academia.edu, wiley online library and Sage. Keywords such as nursing, mental health, Pediatrics and nurses experiences were taken from the research question and combined to narrow down our review. Ten (10) articles were selected, thor-oughly examined and used for answering the research question raised.
Results revealed that insufficient knowledge, constraints of the work environment and patient ag-gression/violence all affect the quality of mental health care provided by nurses. When exposed to these challenges, nurses felt, doubtful, frustrated and most times guilty. To resolve these issues, having clear guidelines, working with a multi-disciplinary team and continuous professional development were mainly recommended as the appropriate measures for ensuring the continued provision of optimal mental health care for paediatrics living with mental health problems.
