1. Children's behavior issues stem from multiple sources that must be assessed; nursing theory provides a framework to reassess children's behavior issues. 2. Not all behavior issues are problems, but some problems may be overlooked in blanket diagnosing. 3. Nurses can play a key role in designing and implementing interventions that promote a healthy child and a well-functioning family.
Community health, psychiatric, and pediatric nurses who work with young children and their families often assess the family's sleep and rest patterns, especially in relation to children's sleep disturbances. Nurses have traditionally taken a rigid approach on this issue that excludes culturally diverse options. The author uses examples from her own nursing education and from cross-cultural research to demonstrate the cultural bias favoring separation of child from parent. The article explores options for broadening nurses' assessment of family sleeping arrangements and designing interventions that take into consideration culturally diverse values and habits. Implications for nursing practice include greater trust-building and mutual learning.
