This research provides a comprehensive overview of how artificial intelligence has integrated into pediatric nursing over the last quarter-century, noting a dramatic surge in interest since 2019. By mapping out hundreds of academic papers, the study identifies a unique shift toward holistic and family-centered care, distinguishing pediatric applications from the more clinical, disease-focused approach of general medicine. The analysis highlights five core areas of innovation, ranging from improving psychological well-being in surgical patients to utilizing technology for enhanced nursing education. Ultimately, the work serves as a strategic roadmap for healthcare professionals to implement evidence-based AI tools that personalize the patient experience while addressing the ethical complexities of modern practice.
