Abstract

Qualitative research is a methodological approach used in various fields, including social sciences, psychology, anthropology, and education, among others. Unlike quantitative research, which focuses on numerical data and statistical analysis, qualitative research aims to understand phenomena through detailed exploration, interpretation, and description of people's experiences, behaviors, and beliefs. Pediatric nurses need to perform qualitative researches which will provide rich data about the children and their parental experiences in the pediatric units, their satisfaction, quality of life of children with various chronic disorders etc. The evidences will ensure patients safety as well quality nursing care during the hospitalization of children, it will alos enhance patient’s compliance and parents compliance as well.
