Nursing Care for Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children Associated with COVID-19: A Case Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children is a complication associated with COVID-19 after the child has recovered. It is a serious condition that can be fatal. This syndrome has been found to affect males more frequently than females, with an average age of 9.7 years. Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children may manifest during the recovery phase or emerge 4-6 weeks after a COVID-19 infection. Thailand introduced guidelines for diagnosing and treating multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children associated with COVID-19. These guidelines have led to rapid diagnosis and treatment, resulting in positive outcomes for patients. However, as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children associated with COVID-19 is an emerging disease, nurses need to develop knowledge and skills that are consistent with the diagnosis and treatment guidelines. This is crucial for providing standardized nursing care. The purpose of this article is to provide knowledge and guidelines for planning nursing care for pediatric patients with multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19. The article aims to serve as a guideline for nurses, enabling them to deliver evidence-based nursing care that ensures patient safety and a good quality of life.
