Pediatric Nurse Associate Program, Good Samaritan Hospital, Cincinnati, O

A survey made of the activities and attitudes of nurses who have completed the Cincinnati Pediatric Nurse Associate Program showed, among other findings: most of the nurses are employed in public health settings; 80 per cent feel that there is excellent or good acceptance of their expanded role by physicians with whom they work; 75 per cent feel that there is ex cellent or good acceptance of their expanded role by nurse colleagues; 100 per cent feel that there is excellent or good acceptance of their expanded role by patients and families; 69 per cent feel that disease prevention, parent education, and screening assessment are the types of services most characteristic of their expanded role; 83 per cent feel that their ac tivities and accountability involve physicians; the role that PNA's like best by an overwhelming majority is the opportunity to provide counseling and anticipatory guidance; 60 per cent of the PNA's felt that parent education regarding mental and physical health and child rearing was the greatest unmet need of children in our present health care delivery system.
