SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: Pediatrics is a branch of medicine defined by the object of its interest, i.e. the child. The approach to taking care of an endangered child is different from taking care of emergency situations in adults (1). These conditions seriously and immediately endanger the lives of children and as such require urgent treatment. The readiness of the healthcare worker to react quickly and deal with the victim whose life is in danger is extremely important. Such events are impossible to predict, because they come suddenly and when least expected. Therefore, decisions in such situations are made quickly, often with limited information and under great pressure. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the paper is to investigate, present and describe the level of knowledge of undergraduate nursing students about emergency situations in pediatrics and the connection of knowledge with age, work experience and workplace. RESPONDENTS AND METHODS: The research was conducted with a questionnaire prepared for the respondents - undergraduate nursing students employed at the departments of pediatrics, OHBP, ZZHM, health center, home for the elderly and home health care institutions. The planned sample of respondents was 104, because the research included students from all three years of undergraduate studies. Data were collected in the period from May 1 to June 30, 2024. Respondents filled out a survey questionnaire. RESULTS: The largest number of incorrect answers, i.e. 92.3% of them, was recorded on the statement "If the child is not drowned, there is no spontaneous return of the heart action and was, in that case resuscitation is stopped after 20 min.". The research showed that more than half of the statements are where the respondents do not know the answer to the question, which shows a high threshold of uncertainty of nurses/technicians about emergency situations in pediatrics. CONCLUSION: The research showed that the majority of healthcare professionals who do not work in a workplace that is directly related to pediatric patients do not have a sufficient amount of knowledge about emergency situations in pediatrics. Emergencies in pediatrics will never become routine, but will force health professionals to constantly improve themselves so that the end result is as good and high-quality as possible.
