Missed nursing care in children's inpatient units is currently receiving increasing attention. Pediatric patients are much more sensitive to the negative consequences of hospitalization. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Czech Republic using the MISSCARE Survey-Ped, which was developed to assess missed care in pediatric standard departments. The study population consisted of 216 pediatric nurses from five health care institutions. Up to 92,1% of pediatric nurses missed at least one nursing activity during their last shift. On average, nurses did not perform 12,1 nursing activities. The most common missed nursing activities were also identified, as well as the reasons for missing them. Targeted management interventions or integration into education can enhance the prevention of missed nursing care.
