The history of pediatric nursing is an underexplored field, particularly in the German-speaking world. While nursing history has seen significant research progress in recent years, there is still a gap regarding the specific evolution of pediatric nursing. This article outlines key research questions and areas of relevance for pediatric nursing history, addressing topics such as the professionals involved, the role of infant mortality reduction, infection control, changing childcare ideals, and the relationship between pediatric and general nursing. While the focus is on Germany, these perspectives are at least partly transferable to other European countries.
