Key result
A Delphi study of 25 trauma nursing experts identified initial resuscitation, assessment, and evidence-based practice as top education priorities, and impact of nursing care on outcomes for research.
This Delphi study establishes consensus-based education and research priorities for pediatric trauma nursing to guide future program development.
May guide pediatric trauma nursing curricula and agendas; leaves open prospective validation of outcome impact.
Trauma has a greater impact on morbidity and mortality than all other disease processes in the pediatric population; yet, there is a gap in the literature related to the scientific basis for educating and researching future practice. The purpose of this research study was to utilize the Delphi technique to identify the current education and research priorities for pediatric trauma nursing as described by the members of the Society of Trauma Nurses. Consensus on the education and research priorities was derived from a sample (n = 25) of trauma nursing experts. The pediatric trauma nursing education priorities are the following: (1) initial resuscitation; (2) assessment; and (3) evidence-based practice. The pediatric trauma nursing research priorities are the following: (1) impact of nursing care on outcomes; (2) initial resuscitation; and (3) critical care. Future efforts in educational program development and research study should focus on these priorities.
