The purpose of this study was to examine whether nurses' recommendations for managing children's pain were influenced by stereotypes based on children's personal attributes. Three vignettes, in which hospitalized children's sex, race, and attractiveness were experimentally manipulated, were mailed to a national random sample of 700 pediatric nurses; 334 nurses responded. Responses to vignette questions indicated little evidence of stereotyping. Nurses perceived similar levels of pain and recommended similar pain treatments, regardless of sex, race, and attractiveness. Nurses, on average, perceived children's pain at levels consistent with the children's self-reports and recommended assertive analgesic and non-pharmacologic pain management strategies. The results appear consistent with prevailing views on providing adequate pain treatment for children.

Department of Digital Mental Health, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Introduction: Work engagement enhances nurses' physical and mental health, well-being, job performance and satisfaction. This reduces turnover rates and improves patient care quality, making work engagement a crucial factor in the nursing workplace. However, no systematic review or meta-analysis has explored the effects of randomised controlled trial (RCT) interventions aimed at improving nurses' work engagement.
