title: [Needs of psychopedagogical training for the care of children with chronic disease: perceptions of hospital nursing].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To identify the psychopedagogical training needs of the pediatric nurses in the largest public hospital of the Balearic Islands, Spain.
  
  
  METHODS
  This study was developed with a quantitative and qualitative design, where 78 nurses (97.5% of the service) answered a questionnaire, and 15 participated in interviews that were analyzed via content analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The quantitative results show gaps in the knowledge and psychopedagogical skills of the staff. These aspects could facilitate the development of tasks tailored to the personality and the psychoevolutional time of children with chronic diseases, as well as to the emotional state of families. The qualitative data was organized into four categories: family support; hospital and education; psychopedagogical training and difficulties in practice. The little communication between nurses and teachers is evident.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The data reinforces the need to implement training strategies and interdisciplinary work among health professionals, educators and families.
