Children in Accident and Emergency: seen but not heard?

{blacksquare} This study examined the ideas and beliefs about the care of children in Accident and Emergency (A&E) among a group of experienced nurses.

{blacksquare} The study was set in a single A&E department, during a time when a new paediatric area was being developed.

{blacksquare} Semi-structured interviews were used to generate qualitative data

{blacksquare} Seven main themes emerged from the data, namely: priority of children in A&E; the role of the paediatric trained nurse in A&E; fear of dealing with children; staffing issues; a separate area for children; isolation; and motivation of staff.

{blacksquare} Further discussion of these issues, in the context of existing literature, confirmed the inherent difficulties in dealing with children in a predominantly adult environment.

Key Words: Accident and emergency care • Attitudes • Children • Nurses • Qualitative • Research.
