Pediatric nursing focuses on comprehensive nursing from infants to adolescents. It focuses on the physiological, psychological and social development characteristics of children at different ages and provides comprehensive care, including disease prevention, health promotion, disease treatment and rehabilitation. Pediatric care usually includes pediatric ward, neonatal department and pediatric emergency care.
However, child care pays more attention to the care of infants and preschool children. Its scope of concern is narrow, mainly focusing on children's physical, psychological and social development characteristics and related nursing needs at this specific stage. Child care usually includes neonatal care, infant care and professional care in infant care.
In a word, pediatric nursing is more comprehensive, covering the comprehensive care of children from infants to teenagers, while pediatric nursing focuses more on the care of children of specific ages.
