Specialist nurses ’ experiences when caring for preverbal children in pain in the prehospital context in Sweden

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) (UNICEF, 2009) defines a child as any person below 18 years of age. All children are equal and have the same rights including the right to good health. Prehospital services encounter people in need of all ages and with all kinds of health problems. Pain is a common reason for seeking prehospital care. Crucial to patients in pain is how prehospital emergency nurses (PENs) most effectively alleviate their pain.
