Abstract
Two international pediatric courses for nurses from developing countries were planned and implemented in Israel during the past 2 years. The courses consisted of 53 RNs from 29 countries. The purpose of this article is to describe the ongoing evaluation and follow-up process of these courses. Findings indicated that the majority of nurses expressed: a) high satisfaction with the course and felt it enhanced their professional capacity and practice, and benefited their colleagues and superiors; b) high motivation and enthusiasm to improve nursing practices in their home countries; c) changes in attitudes and beliefs relating to pediatric nursing.
