Chronic medical illness among children and adolescents is a growing concern with implications for informal and formal caregivers. When coupled with a psychiatric comorbidity, implications grow exponentially. Nurses who care for child and adolescent populations play a crucial role in optimizing physical and mental health when they interface with patients and their caregivers. Evidence-based interventions can promote positive outcomes and enhance quality of life, whereas failure to use evidence-based approaches has serious consequences to the health of youth with medical and psychiatric comorbidities.
儿童和青少年的慢性疾病是一个日益严重的问题，对非正式和正式照顾者都有影响。当与精神科共病同时存在时，影响会呈指数级增长。照顾儿童和青少年的护士在与患者及其照顾者接触时，在优化身心健康方面发挥着至关重要的作用。循证干预措施可以促进积极的结果，提高生活质量，而未能采用循证方法则会对患有医学和精神科共病的年轻人的健康产生严重后果。
