Pediatric Nursing Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab supports children with illnesses or disabilities, and their families, through nursing.
AboutAbout the lab
So that children and families can live with peace of mind.
The Pediatric Nursing Lab conducts research with the aim that children grow up healthy, and that the families raising them can raise children while also caring for their own health and quality of life (QOL).
Thanks to advances in medicine, more children now live at home while receiving medical care, and the environment surrounding their families has changed significantly.
The lab continues research on the health of families raising children, on care and services for children and families, and on the role of the community.
It is also involved in the joint development of a simulator for learning endotracheal suctioning for children on ventilators, and in nursing research that supports the transition from hospital to home.
Key terms
- QOL
- Quality of life. How easy it is for a person to live in a way that suits them, including not only physical health but also emotional well-being and satisfaction with daily life.
- Children with medical complexity

- Endotracheal suctioning

*Illustrative imageHealth and QOL of families raising children
The lab continues empirical research on the health and QOL of families raising children, on care and services for children and families, and on the role of the community around families. It also works on support for family caregivers (carers) and on research into educational programs in pediatric nursing.
*Illustrative imageA simulator for learning endotracheal suctioning
Using projection mapping, the lab has jointly developed an endotracheal suctioning simulator in which the patient mannequin's facial expression and complexion change in response to the suctioning procedure. It allows learners to practice repeatedly and safely in an environment close to clinical practice.
*Illustrative imageSupport for the transition to home care for children with medical complexity
So that children with medical complexity and their families can move to life at home with peace of mind, the lab is working to build nursing support in which families and nurses share goals and two-way communication becomes more active.
