Methods: This is a descriptive and transversal research with a quantitative approach. The selection took place by non-probabilistic convenience sampling, and was developed with nurses on health units for pediatric hospitalization and primary health care in northern Portugal (Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes and Alto Douro Hospital Center, EPE, Northern Regional Health Administration, Northern Local Health Unit, EPE.). Data were collected using a questionnaire with a sample of 311 nurses in the second semester of 2018. Results: 77.5% (n = 241) of nurses perform health education daily; 65% (n = 202) prepare according to the identified needs; the \u201cIdentification of children\/young and parents\u2019 health priorities\u201d was considered to be the most facilitating element (n = 279; 89.7%); the most difficult element was the \u201cFear of confidentiality breach by the children\/young and parents\u201d (74.6%; n = 232); and 65.9% (n = 205) of nurses considered this practice to have equal importance compared to other nursing interventions. It was also found that academic\/professional qualifications and the place of professional practice influence the importance that nurses attribute to HE practice. Conclusions: We can state that there is an appreciation of the binomial child and parents for a better identification of needs, and of the importance attributed to the current legal guidelines (letting themes leading to good health practices be addressed by nurses), which translates into a practice capable of influencing the determinants of health, which promotes health-enhancing behaviors and thus both leads to health gains and reinforces the nurse\u2019s position as health-promoting agents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children9040486","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,1]],"date-time":"2022-04-01T21:22:39Z","timestamp":1648848159000},"page":"486","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Nurse\u2019s Evaluation on Health Education in Portuguese Pediatric Hospitals and Primary Care for Children\/Young and Parents"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8588-0814","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anabela Fonseca","family":"Pereira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Higher School of Health, Portuguese Red Cross Alto T\u00e2mega, 5400-673 Chaves, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Joaquim","family":"Escola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Philosophy of the University of Porto, School of Human and Social Sciences, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2795-685X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vitor","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development, CIDESD, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"},{"name":"School of Health, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4497-4267","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development, CIDESD, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"},{"name":"School of Health, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e03652","DOI":"10.1590\/s1980-220x2019019303652","article-title":"Limit-situations in child health care practices: Challenges to the empowerment of nurses","volume":"54","author":"Souza","year":"2020","journal-title":"Rev.
