Abstract

Aim: An individual's attitude toward parenting and liking of children reflects that individual's fundamental belief about children and being with children. In pediatric care, especially pediatric nurses need to understand the differences in children's physical, emotional, and social development, and they should provide children with the love, affection and attention they need. Under the current circumstances in our country, not all nurses may find a chance to work in their field of choice. For this reason, the liking of children in nurses and the parenting style they were raised with are of particular importance. This study was designed to determine and evaluate the parenting attitudes and liking of children in nurses working in pediatric and adult clinics.
