Abstract:
ABSTRACT Care negotiation between nurses and parents of hospitalised children in a paediatric care setting eases anxiety, pain and discomfort. The study assessed paediatric care negotiation in Princess Marie Louise Children’s Hospital in Accra, Ghana. The findings from the study revealed that symptomatic care is usually practiced on the emergency ward. Due to a tremendous workload and a staffing deficit, nurses are also unable to strictly establish and stick to care plans, even though they acknowledge that this is the best practice. The study appear to suggest that parents engaged in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) while nurses performed technical duties on the ward. Hopefully, an increase in the number of nurses on the ward will lead to a higher-quality nursing care.
