ABSTRACT

The nursing context in pediatric rehabilitation is that of caring for children with disabilities and complex developmental differences and health conditions in an ever-changing and demanding environment. Rehabilitation nurses aim to continuously advance nursing leadership, practice, education and research to meet service needs. Strengths-Based Nursing and Healthcare (SBNH) is a philosophy and value-driven approach that aligns with and enables the advancement of strengths-based rehabilitation nursing and family-centred care. This paper describes the leadership approach undertaken to implement SBNH in a Canadian pediatric rehabilitation hospital context over a 10-year period. We will share what we did and what we learned.
