adopting and implementation of the children’s rights. This study was conducted
to determine the attitudes of nurses working in pediatric service towards
children’s rights.

pediatric services of a university hospital and state hospital and agreeing to
participate in the research. The data of the study were gathered with

Children’s Rights. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis
and correlation analysis were used in the analysis of data.

the nurses in the study is 32.10±7.69, 97.1% are female, 62.5% have bachelor’s
degree, 59.6% are married and 51% have children. The work experience of 57.7%
of the nurses and the experience of 80.8% of those in pediatric clinic range
from 0 to 10 years. Of pediatric nurses, 77.9% stated that they heard about the
Convention on the Rights of the Child, 52.9% said they have no idea as to
whether our country has signed this convention, and 96.2% reported they pay
attention to the children’s rights and they have to take active role on the
children’s rights. The Questionnaire for Measuring Attitudes towards Children’s
Rights average scores of the nurses are 27.16±5.34. When Questionnaire for
Measuring Attitudes towards Children’s Rights average scores were examined
