GARCIA CALLEJO, V. and DOMINGUEZ PEREZ, L.. Pediatric nursing versus family nursing: views of professionals and parents of children in San Sebastian de los Reyes (Madrid). Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.53, pp.27-30. ISSN 1139-7632. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1139-76322012000100004.
Introduction: the situation of children health care in the Spanish regions is of variability and lack of a clear pattern regarding to the participation of nurses. This study was conducted to know the opinion of the professionals responsible for the child health program in a town near Madrid, as well as the opinion of the parents of the involved children. Material and methods: a survey was distributed to 34 nurses and 11 pediatricians (all the professionals involved) as well as to 1004 fathers/mothers of the children included. Results: from the parents, 99.6% prefer a nurse exclusively dedicated to children. All pediatricians felt in the same direction. As for nursing, only 7 (20.6%) prefer a mixed system of organization ("family nursing"). Conclusions: a qualified majority of the professionals and the population prefer a specific pediatric nursing model.
