Abstract

Introduction: Communication is one of the main foundations of providing care. Nurses have encountered patients from different languages due to globalization and mobilities within and between countries. This study aimed to explore the Iranian pediatric nurses’ experiences in providing care for children of different language backgrounds. Methodology: In this conventional qualitative content analysis study, 15 pediatric nurses were selected through purposive sampling from four specialty pediatric hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Data were collected via in-depth semistructured face-to-face interviews and concurrently analyzed via conventional content analysis. Results: Data analysis resulted in 132 primary codes, which were reduced to 95 during constant comparison and categorized into 34 subcategories, six main categories, and the main theme emerging from the categories was “language as a barrier in providing effective nursing care.” Discussion: This study suggests that language differences between pediatric nurses and hospitalized children may make nursing care less effective and act as a barrier to achieving patient care goals. © The Author(s) 2021.
