The recent publication of an Irish national policy on palliative care for children with life-limiting illness is welcome news for paediatric nurses in Ireland. Children are valued members of society and have a right to receive quality health care and support appropriate to meet both children and the families\u2019 precise needs. However, community services for children with life-limiting illnesses remain inadequate, with many parents and families struggling to provide palliative care for children in the home. Currently, community nurses, who are not always registered children\u2019s nurses, are providing palliative care for children at the end of life. These nurses may not fully understand the specific needs of critically or chronically ill children and their families. In addition, there are no specific palliative care educational programmes in Ireland with regard to end-of-life care for children. The challenges of providing palliative care to children and their families in relation to symptom control, controversial ethical and legal issues, and emotional and practical support, mean that advanced knowledge is required in order to progress the agenda and thus provide excellence in children\u2019s palliative care in Ireland. It is important that the agenda is moved forward so that children and their families requiring palliative care and nursing support do not suffer from a lack of professional provision for their needs <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12968\/bjon.2010.19.15.77694","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,23]],"date-time":"2014-05-23T14:24:49Z","timestamp":1400855089000},"page":"977-981","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["The developing role of children\u2019s nurses in community palliative care"],"prefix":"10.12968","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Irene","family":"O\u2019Brien","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nurse Our Lady\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital, Dublin"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anita","family":"Duffy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing, Trinity College, Dublin"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"5130","reference":[{"key":"p_18","volume-title":"the best available', or if it is `good enough' (O'Leary et al","year":"2006"},{"key":"p_38","volume-title":"A Guide for the Development of Palliative Nurse Education in Europe","author":"De Vlieger M","year":"2004"},{"key":"p_39","volume-title":"The National Children's Strategy: Our Children-Their Lives","author":"Government","year":"2000"},{"key":"p_40","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/jpm.2006.9.163"},{"key":"p_41","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.NMC.0000287995.13179.0a"},{"key":"p_42","volume-title":"Annual Report","author":"Irish Hospice Foundation","year":"2009"},{"key":"p_43","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2214.2004.00416.x"},{"issue":"4","key":"p_44","first-page":"26","volume":"19","author":"Lewis M","year":"2007","journal-title":"Paediatr Nurs"},{"key":"p_45","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1478-5153.2007.00226.x"},{"key":"p_46","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005237-200504000-00003"},{"issue":"6","key":"p_47","first-page":"548","volume":"27","author":"Melnyk BM","year":"2001","journal-title":"Pediatr Nurs"},{"key":"p_48","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/jpm.2006.9.1128"},{"key":"p_49","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjon.2009.18.22.45562"},{"key":"p_50","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjon.2010.19.6.47234"},{"key":"p_51","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/0269216306pm1147oa"},{"key":"p_52","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2648.2001.01789.x"},{"key":"p_53","volume-title":"Dublin","author":"Phelan J","year":"2006"},{"key":"p_54","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/ijpn.2005.11.3.18031"},{"key":"p_55","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/jpm.2006.9.922"},{"key":"p_56","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0269216308096527"},{"key":"p_57","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2008-2721"},{"key":"p_58","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7748\/paed2005.04.17.3.14.c974"},{"key":"p_59","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-1584.2000.81258.x"},{"key":"p_60","volume-title":"Cancer Pain Relief and Palliative Care in Children","author":"World Health Organization","year":"1998"},{"key":"p_61","volume-title":"Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (2003) A Guide to the Development of Children's Palliative Care Services","author":"Association for Children's Palliative Care (ACT)","edition":"2"},{"issue":"5","key":"p_62","first-page":"482","volume":"32","author":"Baergen R","year":"2006","journal-title":"Pediatr Nurs"},{"key":"p_63","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.NMC.0000287994.13179.43"},{"key":"p_64","volume-title":"Vital Statistics: Fourth Quarter and Yearly Summary","author":"Central Statistics Office Ireland","year":"2008"},{"key":"p_65","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049732307308316"},{"key":"p_66","volume-title":"Palliative care services for children and young people in England: an independent review for the Secretary of State for Health","author":"Craft A","year":"2007"},{"key":"p_67","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2006-3153"},{"key":"p_68","volume-title":"Primary Care: A New Direction","author":"Department of Health and Children","year":"2001"},{"key":"p_69","volume-title":"Report of the National Advisory Committee on Palliative Care","author":"Department of Health and Children","year":"2001"},{"key":"p_71","volume-title":"Palliative Care for Children with Life-limiting Conditions in Ireland: a National Policy","author":"Department of Health and Children","year":"2009"},{"key":"p_72","volume-title":"Better Care: Better Lives.
