Introduction. Paediatric nurses are continuously subject to difficult situations because they are responsible
for the most important values such as health and life of a child.

Aim. The aim of the study was to recognise difficult situations in paediatric nurses’ practise, and ways
of solving problems in nursing care.

Material and methods. Study group comprised of 108 nurses employed in paediatric departments in
Malopolska Province. The study used home-made survey questionnaire, CISS questionnaire for examination
of reactions on difficult situations and KWEP questionnaire for measurement of emotional support
received because of problems originating from professional work.

Results and conclusions. Results show that there are many difficult situations in paediatric nurses’ practise.
Those situations result from the nature of the work, its organization and interpersonal relationships.
