Survey of sibling and peer visitation policies in southern California hospitals.

A survey of southern California hospitals identified current visitation policies and the rationale for the restrictions of siblings and peers. Questionnaires mailed to the nursing administrators of 212 hospitals having designated pediatric beds indicated that the majority allowed some form of sibling visitation. The rationales for restriction most frequently given were prevention of infection and spread of communicable disease. The results indicate a gap between sibling visitation research and the theoretical rationale given to support restrictive policies.

Children's concepts of death. Implications for pediatric practice.

This article has reviewed the developmental evolution of the concept of death in children. As has been illustrated, the child's perception of death is significantly different from that of adults and goes through several successive changes before the mature concept is grasped. Application has been demonstrated in reference to children who are hospitalized. Interventions that nurses can utilize to help children deal with their fears have been suggested.

Children's concepts of the mentally ill.

One hundred sixty-eight children in grades three through six were asked to read vignettes describing the problematic behaviors of mentally ill children and adults. The schoolchildren then labeled the characters, attributed causes and motivations to their behaviors, and suggested possible treatments. Although only 27% of the children labeled vignette characters as mentally ill and 11% recommended psychiatric interventions, all the children recommended some kind of intervention. While slightly fewer than one-third (29%) of the children suggested that an adult intervene in some nonpsychiatric manner, 60% recommended some kind of child-initiated activity as an intervention. A developmental trend was evident in children's attribution of mental illness labels and recommendations for both psychiatric and adult nonpsychiatric interventions.

The Attending Nurse: a new role for the advanced clinician.

The Attending Nurse Model as a unique role for the advanced practitioner was implemented and evaluated in an acute care psychiatric setting with an adolescent patient population. Program evaluation results demonstrated that the Attending Nurse role increased general satisfaction and role clarity while decreasing role tension. In addition, the role increased communication with patients' family members. Comparisons are made between the traditional primary nurse and the Attending Nurse roles.
