How do nurses work alongside children living with autism?
Autism | ChildrenThis research explores the experiences of nurses who work or have worked with children with autism in acute care settings. Going to the emergency room is an anxiety provoking situation for most people. For children with autism the experience can be overwhelming and lead to considerable distress. This distress can complicate the provision of healthcare pose safety risks for the child, caregiver, and health professionals.
Children with autism need hospital care, but the acute hospital environment does not accommodate their sensory or behavioural needs. Children with autism experience difficulties in hospital related to sensory overstimulation, ineffective communication between nurses and child/parent, and being cared for by nurses who may not understand, anticipate, or meet the needs of children with autism. This study will explore the insights and experiences of nurses work/have worked with children with autism to understand more fully the complexities and tensions as well as helpful practice with children with autism.
