Multicenter StudyConsenting to pediatric critical care research: understanding the perspective of parents.
Pediatric clinical research is dependent on obtaining consentfrom the parents or legal guardian of eligible patients. Little is known about parents' perspectives and the process by which they make the decision to enroll their child in a pediatric critical care trial. ⋯ Pediatric critical care researchers can improve the parental consent encounter experience by considering how parents perceive the approach to consent for a research trial for their child to balance the need to support parents with the need for participants in pediatric critical care research trials.

Reflective debriefing to promote novice nurses' clinical judgment after high-fidelity clinical simulation: a pilot test.
Novice nurses are increasingly beginning their career paths in critical care areas, where they are expected to care for patients whose lives are potentially threatened. They are unable to benefit from years of experience to facilitate their clinical decisions. Reflection after simulation could possibly improve nurses' clinical judgment in complex situations. ⋯ The results of this pilot test provide preliminary information that reflective debriefing may be a safe and potentially effective way for novice critical care nurses to learn from a clinical experience and enhance clinical judgment.
