Abstract

Communication in pediatric nursing is an important tool for building trust and determining the communication paths between the child, family, and healthcare professionals. It depends on the child‘s age and cognitive development, so nurses have to adjust their communication style. Professional communication enables the active inclusion of the child and his family in the treatment process, which ensures quality care in pediatric nursing.

Key words: family-centred care, child, communication
