Children may find self-reporting health-related quality of life (HRQoL) using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) presented in text-based formats difficult, particularly younger children and children with developmental delays or chronic illness. In such cases, pictorial PROMs (where pictorial representations are used alongside or to replace t...

Aim The aim of this paper is to critically reflect on our team's experience of using netnography to explore vaccine‐hesitant parents and pregnant women, a group who have traditionally been difficult to recruit to research studies and a methodology that is underutilized in nursing research. Design This paper takes the form of a discussion paper tha...

Vaccine hesitancy has been described as any delay or refusal of vaccines despite their availability and is increasing in Australia and other middle to high-income countries. The aim of this study is to gain a deep understanding of the experiences and influences on vaccine hesitant children and their families. A qualitative interview approach was un...

Nurses and midwives can be instrumental to global efforts to address child abuse and neglect through a public health approach of prevention and early intervention. However, there is limited understanding of nurses’ and midwives’ roles, and no international or local guidelines to inform and evaluate their safeguarding practices. The aim of this modi...

Child abuse and neglect is an important public health issue in Australia and internationally. There is an increasing focus on preventing child abuse by addressing health, social and economic factors that make child abuse and neglect more likely. Given the complexity of factors contributing to child abuse, effective collaboration and a shared vision...

Background Child abuse and neglect need to be addressed through a public health approach that prioritises prevention and early intervention. Nurses and midwives are core to this public health response, yet little is known about how their roles are described in Australian policy. Aim To explore how nurses’ and midwives’ roles in a public health res...

Methods A total of 9 databases plus websites of (1) health technology assessment and health economics o...

Vaccine hesitancy is an increasing problem in middle-to high-income countries. Australia currently has high levels of childhood immunisation uptake; however, COVID-19 vaccine uptake during pregnancy remains sub-optimal. This paper acknowledges the important role of nurses and midwives in the promotion and provision of immunisation and recognises th...

Child abuse and neglect is an increasing international social issue. Specific challenges include the over‐representation of disadvantaged and marginalised populations, including First Nations communities. This document review explored how responses to child abuse and neglect are conceptualised in international policy and professional guidelines to...

Objectives Vaccine refusal is increasing in Australia and is a major concern in high-and middle-income countries. There is evidence to suggest that some parents, even those who elect to immunise, may be vaccine hesitant with some manipulating the schedule by excluding or delaying some vaccines. The aim of this review was to gain an understanding of...

Background Immunisation is universally accepted as one of the most significant health initiatives in recent times. However, vaccine hesitancy is increasing in Australia and other high- and middle-income countries. There is evidence to suggest that many parents, even those who elect to immunise, may have a degree of vaccine hesitancy. The recommenda...

Child abuse and neglect is prevalent in Australia and worldwide, with lasting impacts on individuals, families and communities. Children and young people’s nurses (CYPNs) work with families in diverse settings and have unique skills and opportunities to prevent, identify and respond to child abuse and neglect.

Child abuse and neglect is a complex problem that needs to be addressed through a multidisciplinary approach. Nurses internationally have frequent contact with children and are ideally placed to respond to children experiencing abuse and neglect. Nurses' roles can include reporting abuse to child protection services (CPS). This paper reports on one...

Background Nurses working with children often encounter child maltreatment. Nurses' roles in mandatory reporting are well-documented, but less is known about additional ways nurses respond to child maltreatment. This is important because children experiencing less extreme maltreatment may have unmet needs without receiving a child protection interv...

Nurses have an important role in preventing and responding to child abuse and neglect.
