Child mortality remains a significant public health issue in Sokoto State, with high rates of preventable deaths among children under five years of age (Abubakar et al., 2023). Factors such as malnutrition, infectious diseases, lack of access to quality healthcare, and inadequate neonatal care contribute to the high mortality rates. Pediatric nurses, who play a critical role in delivering care to children, have the potential to make a significant impact on child health outcomes. Their involvement in early diagnosis, treatment, health education, and preventive care can help reduce child mortality.
In Sokoto State, where healthcare resources are limited, pediatric nurses face challenges such as insufficient training, lack of equipment, and high patient-to-nurse ratios. However, their contributions to improving pediatric care cannot be overstated. This study aims to explore the role of pediatric nurses in reducing child mortality in Sokoto State, identifying the barriers they face and the strategies they employ to improve child health outcomes.
High child mortality rates in Sokoto State are attributed to various factors, including inadequate healthcare, poor access to medical facilities, and insufficient training for healthcare providers. Pediatric nurses, despite their critical role in managing childhood illnesses, face significant challenges in delivering optimal care. This study seeks to investigate how pediatric nurses in Sokoto State contribute to reducing child mortality and the challenges they face in their role.
This study will focus on pediatric nurses working in healthcare facilities in Sokoto State. Data will be collected through surveys, interviews, and field observations. Limitations include difficulties in accessing remote healthcare facilities and potential biases in self-reported data.
