Pediatric Nursing was differentiated as a separate specialty because the health problems and care needs required during childhood and adolescence are very different from those required in adulthood. The field of child health care has undergone a clear improvement in recent decades as a result of, among other factors, the effectiveness of treatment and quality of care, and activities related to health promotion and disease prevention.
