Objectives
Many national reports emphasise that working with and caring for children and young people demands specialist knowledge and skills. This is because the needs of the child and young person vary according to age, growth and stage of development. The needs of children, young people and their families are not only related to the science of nursing such as physical and technical factors but also to the art of nursing which incorporates psychological, social, emotional, cultural, spiritual beliefs, respect for diversity and gender issues and humanistic caring activities.
