At a Glance

Key Highlights

• Pediatric nurses reported a mean role conflict score of 52.46±7.55.
• Mean role adaptation score among nurses was 85.20±10.48.
• Role conflict negatively correlated with role adaptation (r=-0.728, P<0.001).
• Psychological support training buffers the negative impact of role conflict.
• Significant interdepartmental differences in role conflict and adaptation were observed.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

• Assess role conflict using the Nurse Role Conflict Scale (NRCS).
• Evaluate role adaptation with the Nurse Role Adaptation Scale (NRAS).

Management

• Implement psychological support training for pediatric nurses.
• Develop targeted interventions based on demographic and occupational factors.

Monitoring & Follow-up

• Regularly assess role conflict and adaptation scores among nursing staff.
• Monitor the effectiveness of psychological support training.

Risks

• Increased role conflict may lead to decreased care quality.
• High role conflict is associated with lower role adaptation.

Patient & Prescribing Data
