Abstract
Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly affected children and families. The study purpose was to better understand the perceptions of pediatric-focused advanced practice registered nurses (P-APRNs) on the impact of COVID-19 on patients and practice.
Method: A 25-item electronic survey including Likert scales, multiple choice, and open-ended questions was sent by e-mail to electronic mailing list of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners.
Results: Responses (N = 109) reflect the magnitude of challenges affecting child physical health, mental health, parental stress, and social determinants of health. P-APRNs expect greater refusal of the COVID-19 vaccine compared with other vaccines. Telehealth use continues at an increased rate and greater resources are needed to support clinical practice.
Discussion: The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the lives of children, families, and P-APRN practice. These findings reflect challenges and opportunities moving forward. PAPRNs are well-prepared to lead change to support better and more equitable outcomes for all.
