The aim was to review nursing interventions for children aged 0-5 years hospitalized for respiratory infections in intensive care units. The focus was on determining possible nursing interventions to improve patient outcomes and to address parental coping mechanisms.
A descriptive literature review was conducted using search portals such as CINAHL and EBSCO. A qualitative content analysis was conducted using the PICO framework, focusing on relevant keywords such as 'respiratory tract infection', 'nursing interventions', 'paediatrics' and 'intensive care'. The search was narrowed down to studies published in the last 10 years that focused specifically on nursing care for the 0–5-year age group.
The review identified important nursing interventions, including the use of paediatric early warning scores, non-invasive ventilation techniques and tailored oxygen therapy. Interventions that resulted in significantly improved outcomes, reduced length of hospital stay and addressed the importance of parental concerns during the admission period in a supportive care environment.
