Abstract

Mental health and psychosocial care are critical components of pediatric nursing, shaping the emotional and psychological well-being of children and adolescents. In today’s fast-paced and often stressful world, young patients face numerous challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral disorders, which can significantly impact their development and quality of life. Pediatric nurses play a vital role in identifying early signs of distress, providing compassionate support, and facilitating appropriate interventions to foster resilience and recovery.
