Objectives: In this study, we assessed the knowledge and experience of pediatric pharmacists and nurses at a US tertiary-care pediatric center regarding the risk factors for, recognition of, and best practices for managing an acute kidney injury (AKI) in children.
Methods: The authors developed a survey to assess the attitudes and knowledge of nurses and pharmacists regarding AKI in hospitalized children, which was reviewed by a small multidisciplinary group for content and length. The final 16-item survey consisted of demographic, self-assessment and attitude, and knowledge questions.
