The landscape of pediatric nursing is being transformed through translational research
and evidence-based practice (EBP). Pediatric nursing continues to focus on the health
and care of children and their families, and, with innovative intervention strategies
being tested through clinical nursing research and translated into practice, the quality
of care is enhanced. Indeed, new evidence generated from clinical nursing research
improves nursing practice (
Polit and Beck, 2012
). Moreover, EBP improves the quality of health outcomes (
Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt, 2011
) and enhances care for children and families (
Hockenberry and Wilson, 2011
). Thus, new interventions developed and tested through research and quality improvement
projects generate new evidence that is then translated into practice (
Christian, 2013a
). As a result, new evidence and innovative intervention strategies not only improve
the care of children and their families but also change the landscape of pediatric
nursing practice (
Christian, 2013b
