Whilst this topic has been widely explored in general nursing, limited research exists on how paediatric nurses perceive and experience PPD. Registered nurses at the standard clinical grade (Band 5) comprise the majority of the children\u2019s nursing workforce, but are rarely the focus of PPD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This UK\u2010based qualitative study used interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) following COREQ guidelines.

Each participant was interviewed twice, and data were analysed using a seven\u2010step IPA framework.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Four overarching themes emerged: Individual impact, work location, employing organisation and external factors. PPD was experienced as a dynamic, non\u2010linear process shaped by intrinsic motivation, personal circumstance, workplace culture and managerial gatekeeping, staffing constraints, organisational funding and geographic inequity. Paediatric nurses felt undervalued when compared to other nursing fields, experiencing limited field\u2010specific development.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study suggests the implementation of organisational strategies at the unit and hospital level to support PPD. To shape the most effective approaches, it is also necessary to consider individual and extra\u2010organisational levels, which might affect the human resource management in this area.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications for Nursing Management<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nurse managers must act as enablers rather than gatekeepers of PPD. It is key to ensure equitable access to opportunities, with adequate staffing and field\u2010specific pathways of development. National minimum standards for paediatric nursing PPD are needed to address systemic inequity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/jonm\/4185253","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,7]],"date-time":"2026-09-07T07:21:51Z","timestamp":1788765711000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Personal and Professional Development Experiences of Paediatric Nurses: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1397-6611","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leah","family":"Rosengarten","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2427-7659","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura Jillian","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3813-1490","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Tomietto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/nop2.2097"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/IJOA-09-2020-2416"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_2","article-title":"Can Nursing Career Development Influence Retention?","author":"Royce R.","year":"2022","journal-title":"Nursing Times"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_2","unstructured":"RosengartenL.
