Giving Information to Sick ChildrenFaculty of Health Sciences, Imre Haynal University of Health Sciences, 1325 Budapest, Pf. 125, Hungary This article describes a study carried out among 14-18-year-old nursing students in Hungary. The students were asked to consider an ethical problem. The parents of a sick child ask that she should not be told of a forthcoming operation. Are the nurses to agree to this demand or not? The author concluded from this study that nurses need more training in ethical decision-making, that they need to know about the rights of children in hospital, and that nursing training should start when students are older.
