Parental needs assessment: a design for clinical nurse specialist practice.
Parents of children with orthopedic illness or disability were asked to identify their needs and their children's needs for education and support. Their responses were used to shape the clinical nurse specialist's practice. Information about the child's diagnosis and its effect on growth, development, and sexuality were the areas of greatest needs identified by parents in this study. Incorporation of these perceived needs into practice is described.
