The Welfare of Sick Children in Hospital' was the formal title of a report published in Britain in 1959 which came to be known as the Platt Report, after Sir Harry Platt, the chairman of the parliamentary committee which investigated the care of children in hospital. The committee found the hospitals were miserable places for children, where they were expected to conform to ward routines, not allowed to play; where to lie quietly was the accepted norm, and where, under no circumstances, were the parents allowed to visit outside the declared visiting hours. Subsequent to the publication of the Platt Report a revolution occurred in children's hospitals in Britain and other western countries, including Australia. This paper explores these changes, and discusses implications for paediatric care in hospitals and paediatric nursing education today.
《住院病童的福利》是1959年在英国发表的一份报告的正式标题，该报告后来以普拉特报告而闻名，是以调查医院儿童护理情况的议会委员会主席哈里·普拉特爵士的名字命名的。委员会发现，医院对儿童来说是糟糕的地方，在那里他们要遵守病房常规，不被允许玩耍；安静躺着是公认的常态，而且在任何情况下，父母都不被允许在规定的探视时间之外探视。普拉特报告发表后，英国和包括澳大利亚在内的其他西方国家的儿童医院发生了一场变革。本文探讨了这些变化，并讨论了它们对当今医院儿科护理和儿科护理教育的影响。
