Abstract
With the translation of research and integration of evidence into practice, the quality of health outcomes for children and their families is improved and pediatric nursing practice is transformed. EVIDENCE GENERATED FROM research and translated into pediatric nursing practice leads to improved health outcomes for children and their families (Christian, 2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2013a, 2013b, 2013c). New knowledge and evidence generated from clinical nursing research builds upon and extends nursing knowledge, thereby improving clinical outcomes and the quality of nursing practice (Polit & Beck, 2012). New approaches and interventions developed and tested through research create new methods and more effective strategies for addressing the challenging health problems that affect children and their families. This new evidence generated from research is then translated and integrated into practice to improve the quality of care. Translating research evidence into pediatric nursing practice provides the foundation for improving the quality of pediatric nursing care, ultimately resulting in improved child and family health outcomes (Christian, 2011, 2012a, 2012b). Quality health outcomes are linked to evidence-based practice and produce the best possible outcomes for patients (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2011). Thus, evidence-based practice improves the quality of pediatric nursing care and children’s health outcomes (Hockenberry & Wilson, 2011). Moreover, translation of new evidence and integration into pediatric nursing practice transforms the practice landscape through the development of new intervention strategies. To that end, it is imperative that new research evidence is translated and integrated into pediatric nursing practice in order to improve health outcomes for children and their families. In this issue of the Journal of Pediatric Nursing, seven research articles have employed a variety of research
