dc.description.abstractBackground: An estimated 15% of global under-five deaths result from respiratory infections, with most of these deaths being reported in under-developed and developing countries. The most common respiratory infection in children being hypoxaemia whose recommended treatment is oxygen therapy. This means that healthcare workers' competency is important so as to identify when oxygen is needed, the right quantity, the correct dispensing equipment and the best way to administer the oxygen to a specific patient. Based on previous researches, nurses' competency in oxygen therapy is determined by several factors such as individual and institutional factors. However, researches conducted in Kenya have been limited in this area. This study therefore explores the relationship between individual factors and competence of pediatric nurses on supplemental oxygen therapy in Kajiado County, Kenya.en_US
