Parent participation in the postanesthesia care unit: fourteen years of progress at one hospital.
Parent participation in postanesthesia nursing practice was instituted in 1983 at Boston's Children's Hospital as part of a continuing emphasis on family participation in the care of hospitalized children throughout the hospital. This report describes the evolution and implementation of this practice. The success of this program is supported by data from quality improvement monitors of the comfort levels of PACU patients before and after their parents were invited to the bedside. Quality improvement monitors of parent satisfaction with involvement in their child's care were also conducted. Nursing exemplars illustrate parental and nursing responses to this program.

The spiritual needs of pediatric patients and their families.
Holistic perioperative nursing care of children and their families includes assessing their spiritual needs and identifying interventions that help them achieve spiritual comfort. This is achieved by therapeutic listening and by facilitating children's and family members' access to clergy members of their practice of religious rites and rituals. Perioperative nurses have a unique opportunity and responsibility to assess children's or family members' spiritual needs and to intervene on their behalf. This article describes the opportunities a surgical liaison nurse may have to intervene on the behalf of family members during children's perioperative experiences.
