Children should have a voice in relation to all aspects of healthcare as respected and credible service users, a belief endorsed by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The children's nurse is the healthcare professional who delivers care most frequently to children in hospital and their families, so is in an optimal position to offer valuable insight into children's experiences of being in hospital. Therefore, it is important to listen to the voices of children and children's nurses in relation to this area. This article is informed by a narrative literature review and study, undertaken by the author as part of her doctoral thesis, which explored children's experiences of staying overnight in hospital from the perspective of children and children's nurses. In this article, the author summarises the main findings from the study and considers the implications for children's nursing practice based on her reflection on these findings.
儿童在与医疗保健相关的各个方面都应发表意见，他们作为受尊重和可靠的服务使用者，这一信念得到了联合国《儿童权利公约》的认可。儿科护士是在医院中为儿童及其家庭提供护理的专业人员，因此他们最有能力为儿童在医院中的体验提供有价值的见解。因此，倾听儿童和儿科护士在这方面的意见非常重要。本文基于作者博士论文的一部分，即通过叙述性文献回顾和研究，从儿童和儿科护士的角度探讨了儿童住院过夜的体验。在本文中，作者总结了研究的主要发现，并根据她对这些发现的思考，考虑了对儿童护理实践的影响。
